title: "Projects: Kobo Ereader Hacking"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
I got myself into the weird world of hacking ereaders a while back. Most Kobo products are just poorly secured Linux machines. These projects abuse various aspects of the firmware upgrade process to load custom code onto my ereader.

## Kobo Rust Library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`kobo-rs` is a minimal Rust library for interacting with modified Kobo e-readers. This is designed for use in applications running on the Kobo, not over the network.
|
|
|
|
This is my current core Kobo library used in various other (mostly private) projects.

## Kobo Tweaks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project contains some of my earlier Kobo tweaks and tools, and was used as my initial bootstrapping environment for later work.

## KoboSSH
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The KoboSSH project contains the tools needed to compile [dropbear](https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html) for the `arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf` system (all recent Kobo products). This binary is used for root shell access on Kobo devices which, in my case, is used to deploy and debug software on e-readers.

## KoLib
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KoLib is a modern C++ library to assist in development of software targeting Kobo products. This project was superseded by my Kobo Rust library.
