We put two NAS’ and a Router in the most unsafe network state possible – then left it on for a week to see what happens!
Hi gang!
Just wanted to share an early preview look at a vid that me and Eddie are working on, regarding the subject of NAS security. We thought we would see what happens if we set a couple of NAS (and a router) in the most UNSAFE state possible. Ports open, passwords on default/off, admin account on, DMZ on, no auto-block AND old firmware! I am off to Edinburgh for the Fringe and Eddie is doing..well… everything! Later next week we will return to these devices to see if they have been hit by the bad old internet, whether the data is safe and ultimately (if hit) we will look at the logs to see which attack vectors were responsible! I should add, this is NOT SOMETHING you should EVER try! We are using two systems, running off a SIM/LTE router and with nothing else on the network – we are doing this VERY silly thing, as safely as we can!
