Liberated Devices
Step-by-step guides for liberating abandoned IoT devices. Each guide names the exact hardware and firmware it targets and states on its own page whether it has been verified on hardware yet. Plenty have not been — that is the normal state for a new guide, and the page always tells you which you are reading.

Want to add a device?
Read the contribution guide for how to submit a new liberation guide. You do not need to have run it on the hardware first — most guides arrive unverified and say so on the page. What you do need is to be straight about which of the two it is, and to claim verification only when you have genuinely done it.
Devices we can't officially support
The devices listed here are the ones we document and can support. For other devices, the community maintains configurable device packs using our YAML specification. These packs are created by community members for hardware they own and have permission to work with. Liberated Bread links to these packs but does not host or endorse them. Use common sense — these are for hardware you own.
Every guide states its own verification status at the top of its page. If you find one that is wrong or out of date — or if you have run one successfully on real hardware and can get it marked verified — open an issue.
