You can check your Dreambox 500s for Gemini TimeBomb manually via telnet. Here is how:
If you have Windows Vista or 7, then probably you don't have telnet client installed by default. To install it: Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off, scroll down to Telnet Client and check the box near it and Hit OK and wait a few seconds
And following the famous adage: A picture is worth a thousand words!, I have created the animation below to demonstrate the process.

Good Luck!
- Telnet to your Dreambox
Code:Run console and type: [B]telnet dreambox-ip[/B] [COLOR="Green"]Example: telnet 10.0.0.254[/COLOR]
- Login as root (default password is dreambox)
- Change directory to /lib/modules/2.6.9/extra
Code:Type: [B]cd /lib/modules/2.6.9/extra[/B]
- List directory contents
Code:Type: [b]ls -l[/b]
- Find the file head.ko and check its size; if the size is anything but "308509" then your box has the TimeBomb and you should consider flashing it with a different image immediately!
