You got that some’bitch locked up nice and tight, I run a web server on an obscure port for testing purposes, but pretty much everything else is plugged up like public toilet.

Been involved in IT security and networking for over 10 years. The threats evolve but even the oldest exploits are still around and lurking.

I’m actually disappointed in retail-level manufacturers like Linksys (Cisco), dLink, and NetGear for releasing products that are so faulty. Sure it’s on the consumer to lock down their networks, but when they make it as easy as pressing a button to make a connection, you have to expect that those with the know-how are going to exploit it.

Easy does not mean secure.
