Chuck M will come to your house and put legos in all your shoes if you badmouth 
the airfiber :-)

  I hate it when people lump airFiber into these things. I know of no security 
holes in airFiber that don't require you to already be logged into the unit 
(where you can change the configuration until your heart's content). AirFiber 
also supports a very simple to configure management VLAN (I don't know how it 
could be simpler) to keep inband managment traffic away from the IP of the 
unit. If that isn't enough, you can simply disable inband management and use 
the out-of-band management port; no one can then access the management traffic 
from the user traffic flows. 

  Good morning :)

    5.6.2, I think, fixed one of them more serious security flaws, and that was 
released less than a year ago... and it looks like 5.6.3 and 5.6.4 (which was 
released very recently) also had security fixes. I believe most of those 
vulnerabilities applied to the AC and airFiber firmware as well. 


    Ubiquiti has been good about releasing fixes quickly when they find 
vulnerabilities, but that doesn't help if nobody bothers to update anything.

      But let's assume you do have ubnt devices with public IPs (which is a bad 
idea). What's the attack surface? http, https, ssh, snmp


      Provided you have chosen a reasonably complex admin login and password 
there are no current, known remote root exploits for current (or within the 
past 2 years) ubnt firmware on M or AC devices, right?

            Yeah, I looked at setting it up that way at one point, but 
something didn't look like it was going to work quite the way I wanted it to... 
but I probably spent all of five minutes on it, so it may very well be 
possible. The way ePMP does it is really nice though... and simple.

                I have our ePMP's setup to get their public IP via PPPoE, and 
the radio also gets a completely separate private management IP via DHCP, which 
is the only way you can remotely access the radio, and it doesn't even have to 
be in a separate vlan unless you want it to be... and it's one checkbox to 
configure it.


                I'm not sure if that can be duplicated on UBNT or not, since I 
haven't really tried yet, but at the very least it's a lot more complicated to 
configure.
