I guess the sbbs_dev tarball isãwhat you want. Also the error about js.flatten (if that's what this is about)ãcan just be commented out. The error should indicate what line in the .js fileãthat causes the error (I think it's 134?), what you can try is to just commentãout the line (type // at the start of the line). I'm not sure what theãjs.flatten function does exactly, but I think it's something to do with theãhtml interface.ã--ãAndy/Android8675ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Shodan's Core - shodan.synchro.netã
