How to jailbreak an Apple Time Capsule?

Question

Anyone know of any tools to jailbreak an Apple Time capsule? I'm interested in installing sshd for sshfs access.

As it stands there is no way to jailbreak Apple's Time Capsule or the Airport Extreme. They are running NetBSD but the firmware images are encrypted and no one has broken it thus far.

You can view a couple related questions on ServerFault that have to do with this as well:

If you avoid the latest firmware update (7.6) and try to exploit (like this guy) the ISC DHCP bug then you might be able to jailbreak the TC....

I would (and did) look at setting up a Linux server running Netatalk to provide Time Machine functionality.
