Here is how I found this so I automated it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B5UdtRTW3aQ The Following is for linux users Script Name: console_network_setup.sh Description: The console_network_setup.sh script automates the process of configuring network settings and user authentication for a gaming console on your network. This script: Checks for Necessary Tools: It ensures that arp-scan and expect are installed on your system. If any of these tools are missing, it prompts you to install them. Prompts for Console MAC Address: It interactively asks for the MAC address of the console, ensuring that the user does not need to edit the script. Scans the Network: Utilizes arp-scan to identify devices on the local network and finds the IP address associated with the provided MAC address. Generates a Configuration File: Creates a configuration file (config.conf) with specified network settings and includes the IP address of the console. Telnet Authentication: Uses the expect tool to automate Telnet login to the console for two predefined users (xbox and flash), verifying the connection and authentication. Displays the Configuration File: Outputs the generated configuration file content for verification. Cleans Up: Removes temporary files created during the network scan process. Code: #!/bin/bash # Ensure necessary tools are installed REQUIRED_TOOLS=("arp-scan" "expect") for tool in "${REQUIRED_TOOLS[@]}"; do if ! command -v $tool &> /dev/null; then echo "$tool is required but not installed. Please install it first using:" echo " sudo apt-get install $tool" exit 1 fi done # Prompt the user to enter the MAC address of the console read -p "Please enter the MAC address of the console (format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx): " CONSOLE_MAC # Validate MAC address format if [[ ! $CONSOLE_MAC =~ ^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}:){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$ ]]; then echo "Invalid MAC address format." exit 1 fi # Scan the network to find the console's IP echo "Scanning the network to find the console IP..." arp-scan --localnet > arp_scan_results.txt # Extract the IP of the console CONSOLE_IP=$(grep -i $CONSOLE_MAC arp_scan_results.txt | awk '{print $1}') if [ -z "$CONSOLE_IP" ]; then echo "Console IP not found. Ensure the console is on and connected to the network." exit 1 fi echo "Console IP found: $CONSOLE_IP" # Telnet authentication function telnet_auth() { local USER=$1 local PASS=$2 expect <<EOF spawn telnet $CONSOLE_IP expect "login: " send "$USER\r" expect "Password: " send "$PASS\r" expect ">" send "exit\r" expect eof EOF } # Define the configuration file path CONFIG_FILE="config.conf" # Write the configuration settings to the file echo "BindPort 21" > $CONFIG_FILE echo "CommandTimeout 300" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo "ConnectTimeout 15" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo "MaxConnections 20" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo "" >> $CONFIG_FILE # Add user configurations echo "<User \"xbox\">" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo " Password \"xbox\"" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo " IP \"$CONSOLE_IP\"" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo "</User>" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo "<User \"flash\">" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo " Password \"flash\"" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo " IP \"$CONSOLE_IP\"" >> $CONFIG_FILE echo "</User>" >> $CONFIG_FILE # Authenticate users via Telnet telnet_auth "xbox" "xbox" telnet_auth "flash" "flash" # Print the configuration file to confirm cat $CONFIG_FILE # Clean up rm arp_scan_results.txt echo "Script completed successfully. Configuration file created at $CONFIG_FILE." How to Use Install Necessary Tools Ensure arp-scan and expect are installed by running sudo apt-get install arp-scan expect Run the Script Save the script to a file named console_network_setup.sh, make it executable, and run it. chmod +x console_network_setup.sh ./console_network_setup.sh Follow Prompts When prompted, enter the MAC address of the console in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. The script will handle the rest, including network scanning, IP extraction, Telnet authentication, and configuration file creation. For Windows Users For network scanning, we can use arp and for Telnet automation, we can use plink (PuTTY Link), which is a command-line interface to the PuTTY backend. Ensure MinGW and necessary tools are installed: MinGW, PuTTY (plink), and the Telnet client must be installed and available in the PATH. Use arp for network scanning: arp -a is a common command on Windows to list ARP table entries. Use plink for Telnet automation: PuTTY's plink can automate Telnet sessions similarly to expect. Script Content for Windows (MinGW) Code: #!/bin/bash # Function to check if necessary tools are installed check_tools() { local REQUIRED_TOOLS=("plink" "arp") for tool in "${REQUIRED_TOOLS[@]}"; do if ! command -v $tool &> /dev/null; then echo "$tool is required but not installed. Please install it first." if [ "$tool" == "plink" ]; then echo "Download and install PuTTY from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html" fi exit 1 fi done } # Function to prompt user for MAC address get_mac_address() { read -p "Please enter the MAC address of the console (format: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx): " CONSOLE_MAC if [[ ! $CONSOLE_MAC =~ ^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}-){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$ ]]; then echo "Invalid MAC address format." exit 1 fi echo $CONSOLE_MAC } # Function to scan network and find console IP find_console_ip() { local MAC_ADDRESS=$1 echo "Scanning the network to find the console IP..." arp -a > arp_scan_results.txt local IP=$(grep -i $MAC_ADDRESS arp_scan_results.txt | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '()') if [ -z "$IP" ]; then echo "Console IP not found.

PuTTY (plink): Download and install PuTTY from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html. Enable Telnet Client on Windows Open Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off. Check the box for "Telnet Client" and click OK. Run the Script Save the script to a file named console_network_setup.sh, and run it using the MinGW shell sh console_network_setup.sh
If you are having trouble with the windows script I have updated it to work without PuTTY Code: #!/bin/bash # Function to check if necessary tools are installed check_tools() { local REQUIRED_TOOLS=("telnet" "grep" "awk" "arp") for tool in "${REQUIRED_TOOLS[@]}"; do if ! command -v $tool &> /dev/null; then echo "$tool is required but not installed. Please install it first." if [ "$tool" == "telnet" ]; then echo "For Windows, you can enable Telnet Client from 'Turn Windows features on or off' in the Control Panel." elif [ "$tool" == "arp" ]; then echo "ARP should be available by default in Windows. Ensure you are using MinGW with network capabilities." fi exit 1 fi done } # Function to prompt user for MAC address get_mac_address() { read -p "Please enter the MAC address of the console (format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx): " CONSOLE_MAC if [[ ! $CONSOLE_MAC =~ ^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}:){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$ ]]; then echo "Invalid MAC address format." exit 1 fi echo $CONSOLE_MAC } # Function to scan network and find console IP find_console_ip() { local MAC_ADDRESS=$1 echo "Scanning the network to find the console IP..." arp -a > arp_scan_results.txt local IP=$(grep -i $(echo $MAC_ADDRESS | tr ':' '-') arp_scan_results.txt | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '()') if [ -z "$IP" ]; then echo "Console IP not found.
