Is my NAS Secure?
Hello, I am Michael Barnes and have A ReadyNas Duo V2. I have just read the attached http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28707117 article about security. I am not that technical but want to make sure...
Just wanted to add that it is easy and free to register for the Shodan search engine in the original article (http://www.shodanhq.com/)
You can then search on your external IP address and see what it finds. In my case it identified the FTP connections I forward (even though they were on non-standard ports), but was not able to log in. Browsing around, I saw some ReadyNAS with anonymous FTP enabled - which of course might have been intentional.
