Owncloud security.
Hello. I'm really a novice when it comes to internet security. So i have some questions. I have installed OwnCloud on my readynas ultra 4. I would like to know if im accessing it securely. When...
It means that a hacker could potentially intercept your data transfer and decode it, including the user name/password for access. But that only gets him into OwnCloud, not the whole NAS unless you are sharing it via Owncloud.
But do you even have anything on your OwnCloud that would do you harm if a hacker got ahold of it? And what's the chance that a hacker will even care to try and access your OwnCoud?
FWIW, the most recent estimate I've seen on the cloud computing cost of compromising an SHA-1 certificate is about $100,000.
That's certainly affordable if you are going after a commercial domain name. But I think it's enough to make it unlikely that attackers will target self-signed certs.
That said, Netgear should be generating SHA-2. SHA-1 deprecation has been in the works since 2014.
