Well, with those ports opened, if I was able to find your IP address I could go and turn your Squeezebox on at 4 AM just for kicks. ;-)
The SlimServer title page used to read "Welcome to SlimServer", so a Google search for the title "Welcome to SlimServer" can locate all such pages. Now it just reads "SlimServer" so it's too "diluted" to locate anything. SC 7.0 reads "SqueezeCenter" and Google currently can't locate any open pages for me - the results will be as unspecific as "SlimServer" though. But still, you are not only leaving ports open, you are leaving control to anyone who can find your IP address. There are currently no known vulnerabilities in SlimServer/SqueezeCenter that would allow access to your OS, but seeing that it's open source, if a hacker was interested enough he might find one. Best not to leave that option. At the very least, block incoming connections and whitelist your LAN, players and work IP using Server Settings - Security. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39991 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
