SSID and password first configuration methods non working (workaround provided)

[leophys]

Hi, and thanks for this!

I tried and succeeded after a lot of effort to install the v0.2.0 hacks on my Camera (model iSC5P).
What really blocked me at the beginning was that none of the methods described in the wikl was working, nor the QR code generated by the app. I tried to inspect the latter, but an opaque string at the end prevented me to replicate its algorithm.

I then inspected the js code here and realized that the Fang option was not working.
I am not so capable with javascript, but can python somehow. So I assembled the following script

# coding: utf-8
import argparse
import base64
import random
import string

KEY = "89JFSjo8HUbhou5776NJOMp9i90ghg7Y78G78t68899y79HY7g7y87y9ED45Ew30"


def get_random_string(length):
    # choose from all lowercase letter
    letters = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "-_"
    return "".join(random.choice(letters) for i in range(length))


def xor_strings(value, key):
    c = ""
    k_len = len(key)
    for i in range(len(value)):
        c += chr(ord(value[i]) ^ ord(key[i % k_len]))

    return bytes(c, "ascii")


def build_string(ssid, password, tz):
    rand = get_random_string(16)
    b_ssid = base64.b64encode(bytes(ssid, "ascii")).decode("ascii")
    b_secret = base64.b64encode(xor_strings(password, KEY)).decode("ascii")
    return f"b={rand}&s={b_ssid}&p={b_secret}&t={tz}"


if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        prog="fang-code",
        description="generate the string to be fed to the Xiaofang",
    )

    parser.add_argument("ssid")
    parser.add_argument("password")
    parser.add_argument("--tz", default="America/New York", help="Set the timezone")

    args = parser.parse_args()

    print(build_string(args.ssid, args.password, args.tz))

The help is clear

usage: fang-code [-h] [--tz TZ] ssid password

generate the string to be fed to the Xiaofang

positional arguments:
  ssid
  password

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --tz TZ     Set the timezone

To generate a QR code, I combine it with qrencode

qrencode -o wifi.png $(python qrcode.py <ssid> <password>)

Have a great day!

This worked for me on my very old iSC5, the Fang codes on the codepen generator did not.
