Which of these Amazon Prime purchases are real?

It’s confidence-inspiring that Apple hasn’t stopped software updates for AirPort routers (I have a 5th gen). There’s even an unofficial Python script that enables SSH, giving you root access to the NetBSD system underneath. So even when Apple finally does abandon it, it might still be possible to customize the Unix underpinnings.

Oh, that’s neat. What is this script called? How do you run it?

Duck found this, but I haven't tried it yet:

"To enable SSH on an AirPort base station you just need to set the dbug property to 0x3000, like this:

python -m acp -t {ipv4-address} -p {password} --setprop dbug 0x3000

python -m acp -t {ipv4-address} -p {password} --reboot

Then connect to the device with the username root and whatever password you use to manage the device."

Yup. That’s what I did.

I just found https://github.com/x56/airpyrt-tools and https://jcs.org/2018/06/12/airport_ssh -- fascinating!
