I am now using a VPN server to access my Squeezebox environment remotely. I have a question regarding the user name and password in situations where the ports are left open (and a VPN connection is _not_ used remotely).
For the incidents related in this thread, where the ports were left open, was the unauthorized entry made through brute force attacks by guessing/calculating both the user name and password? Would hacking it require a rainbow table, or is it much easier than that? Or was the username and password captured by some other means? When connecting remotely (when the ports are open), can the username and password be grabbed by a hacker - is this information not encrypted at this point? Even though I am now using VPN, both my username and password and password are at least 12 mixed characters and my LMS username is completely unique, it is not anything I use for websites, network access, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stereoptic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53162 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106153 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
