ReadyNAS RN524X - Default Raid Version - Recovery
We have a ReadyNAS RN524X We had our ReadyNAS attacked by hackers. They claimed to have stolen our data. They said they would restore it but they did not. I believe they may have simply deleted o...
When I boot the NAS up in tech support mode it does boot. I see the IP on the front, that is good.
I try to putty to the same address on port 22 and I get a connection refused error. Is that the right port?
Thank you.

No. You have the protocol set to ssh.
Select "other", and then choose telnet from the pulldown.
Ok, my mistake.
I can get in to the tech support mode but it seems like no basic commands work like ll or dir including lsblk.
Example:
-sh: lsblk: not found
I want to point out that in an effort to reset the password to get in to the unit I used the USB tool to reinstall the OS. That has no change.
Thank you!
df shows one tmp drive. None of the others mounted.

You could try
rnutil chrootThat will start raid, mount the actual OS partition, and then chroot. That will give you all the commands.
But If there is some active malware still running in the OS, that could try to spread to other devices on your network.
If you then wanted to attempt to mount the data volume, then you would enter
btrfs device scan mount /dev/md127 /data(the above assumes your data volume is /data)

Did you try the OS reinstall to reset the password? (That is not the same as USB recovery).
It doesn't appear to be /data I tried to mount and it failed. I reinstalled the OS and was able to get in to the /admin page but there are no volumes.
Not sure what to do next here... I don't want to recreate volumes because I do not want to lose data, but if they simply dropped them and I could "mount" them and I could see my data that would be ideal, my fear is that I will be taking these disks out to run a recovery on them anyways.
Any more advice?
Thank you!
I did get in to the readynas admin page performing the os reinstall.
