A few years ago, I wrote a shell script that I installed on my SB-Radio to read out its internal light sensor and post that data to Domoticz in a 5-second CRON. I could do that by SSHing into the Radio and by knowing its a Linux-based device, I could find my way around on its file system pretty quickly.
When my script is running, it in no way changes the behavior of the SBR from a users perspective. That did make me very aware of what happens when a device on your local LAN is compromised to become part of a botnet. My code wasnt malicious and I wrote it myself, but what if? To get in to the SBR, you have to navigate the menu structure in the players GUI and enable SSH. In theory you need physical access to the player to do that. But of course if theres a zero-day in the BusyBox then who knows The chances are very, very, very small. But never, ever, say never. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115017
