Remote intrusion on my Vu+ Solo2 - tuner B - security - password

[pembo]

What about it the only ports forwarded are 12000 for listening? Is it possible the box can still be hacked?

Thanks,

FP.

Port 12000 listening to/forwarded to what on the E2 box?

Yeah,,, the only port I have forwarded is 12000 and is for listening for cccam..... Can that be hacked ?? Really worried after reading the bits on this thread....

I assume you're talking about a connection outbound from your box to somewhere on address:12000 rather than inbound. If so, then you wouldn't need the port forwarded anyway. Forwarded ports from a router are for inbound connections initiated externally.

 

[Flyingpig]

Yeah, the port is forwarded from the router to the sat box for external devices......

OK - I understand. Conversation is on slightly dodgy grounds, so I'll not comment further other than to say, if port 12000 is open without any security for whatever purpose, it will be discovered by people running portscans, and then you'd become a target for any vulnerabilities to compromise your network, therefore if I needed this open, I would want to lock down the connection to certain destinations, or secure it somehow.

Thanks to all for your input.

I have read on the net that ccam 2.3 could have a backdoor that some are using to gain access to the boxes. unfortunately VIX images do not run well with ccam 2.1 and force us to use the 2.3 ccam if you want to be able to use both tuners... so quite sad.... please vix team could you fix this ?

I have for now followed most of your advices.. I have deleted portforwarding and i am using vpn connection to have access to my box. Unfortunately due my configuration this has reduced a bit the speed of connection. Therefore some channel are now difficult to stream (HD) but ok the rest is working fine and more secure apparently. I will consider bying a router with vpn integrated so that speed should not be an issue anymore.

I will also try the password change suggested a few post ago (Thanks a lot !) this will probably increase the box security.

any other suggestion or experience is wellcomed.

Thanks again

PS: by the way if you could also help ot pass the message about the issue of ccam 2.1 (2.x.x) to the dark forces. May be this will also avoid to use a version with potential backdoor (not 100% if confirmed by anyone but...)

That's nonsense.

Time to donate that tin hat to someone else.

No point in using the old 2.1 version (it even doesn't decrypt multiple channels anymore).
Simply use 2.3 or even better: Oscam.
