Stuck at Step 9 - Invoking AKC

[FreeTheTech101]

Software Info:

App Version: v1.2
Xbox OS Version: 10.0.22000.3038 (November 2021)
Xbox Console: Xbox One X (XDK Test Kit)

Issue:

During step 9, Artifice will hang on "Invoking AKC":

While following the execution, the private-key based SSH attempt throws an SshConnectionException, which skips straight to attempting a disconnect and a dispose which fails. The exception message itself is "An established connection was aborted by the server."

The console itself is currently permanently activated via these instructions, which I am unsure if they interfere in any way.

Artifice is not compatible with non-UWP devkits.

You can use "xbrun" to spawn telnetd.exe as SYSTEM.

In this instance, it's not a kit-type compatibility issue, rather it's an SSH version issue. Unfortunately, I don't have an exact minimum system version for Xbox regarding when they actually did merge in the 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' pull, as OpenSSH on Xbox always lagged behind by quite a large amount. My best guess for minimum system version compatibility would be 22621.

Tux's mention is correct though, ideally you'd be using the XDK tooling if you're working with any sort of non-retail devkit.

The above does sum it up, after using xbrun /X <IP> "telnetd.exe cmd.exe 23" to spawn a telnet, checking the OpenSSH version via %SystemRoot%\System32\OpenSSH\sshd.exe -V returns the following:

OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2
usage: sshd [-46DdeiqTt] [-C connection_spec] [-c host_cert_file]
            [-E log_file] [-f config_file] [-g login_grace_time]
            [-h host_key_file] [-o option] [-p port] [-u len]

From that, we can see it's running this build of Win32-OpenSSH.

Regardless, thank you for pointing me in the correct direction!
