So you have a setup that should be able to get the tcpdump we need to see if something fishy is going on.

Are you a brave person? Are you willing to test the archangel with a tcpdump running to see what it sends on the network?

I upgrade my A70 to 2.1.02. And test the ver 1 root utility with tcpdump on those IP packets.
During root, there are lots of arp request & lots of ntpv4 update, but I didn't see suspicious IP addresses. And I reboot it and observe the permanent root activities. Still nothing odds that'd catch my eyes.

So my verdict is that it is safe.

A buddy of mine has a linux PC that is configured as router. I asked him if we could test the setup and do a tcpdump of the traffic.

I can confirm there are no other packets being send/received than just ARP and NTPv4 packets.

So i agree with "louis chan".

Do backup and restore with Titanium Backup work after getting root using this exploit?

Yes they do but it seems the archos busybox has some problems so you have to use the Problems button in Titanium backup to install a proper busybox.

So I think now the fun can begin I started a new thread for the custom scripts that can be used with Archangel.

So please post your scripts here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=10965161
