Hi,
I hope someone could help me with strengthen up my security for my VU+ Solo SE Version 2.
I have setup an Oscam server which serves me in my house for other boxes like an older DM800 and one DM500 a part from my VU+ which I have in my living room.
I also set this up for my mother and my two cousins. I do understand that this is somehow an “grey area” but I only have my family in this setup.
A couple of days ago, my VU+ stopped working and after a lot of fiddling around I found out that someone has changed my CCcam.cfg to a different address. I looked like this:
C:piromery98.zapto.org 12000 hak hak
C:piromery97.zapto.org 12000 hak hak
N:127.0.0.1 19907 localbox lokalip1 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
N:127.0.0.1 19908 localbox lokalip1 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
N:127.0.0.1 19909 localbox lokalip1 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
Well it’s obvious that somebody gained access to my box but I don’t understand how.
I have set a long and hard password to my box.
I do understand that it’s a security risk to have port forwarding in my router.
I have port forwarded telnet, ftp, http and the port for streaming services, 8001, to my box.
I need it since I’m streaming to my Android phone. I have set the streaming authorization on both in OpenWEbIf and the setup menu, so the streaming needs a user name and password. How could I tighten my security without losing my port forwarding?
Also, I have discovered that I started to have duplicate users of my cousin’s name in my Oscam. O checked the IP addresses and they mostly come from Turkey, Germany and Spain. I’m banning the IP addresses directly in my Ubuntu, but still another IP address pops up in my Oscam several times a week. I’ve gone as far as banning whole Block range of IP Addresses that comes from these countries and it has somehow lessened a little, but still pops up.
I’d appreciate any tips on how I could tighten my security.
