Port scanning on 22
Has anyone else ever seen a ReadyNAS device port scanning on port 22? My network administer shut down access to our NAS because of this kind of scanning on tcp/22. He's assuming the device is compr...
An OS reinstall means that it replaces some files, it doesn't delete anything,
The problem with that technique is that I'm not sure if the flash will be erased, and I'm not sure if the OS reinstall will get you a bootable system. It is meant to patch a non-booting NAS so I guess it should but I have not tested it.
Of course, I meant (with a big English mistake ;) ) that the worm could come back. It could be from the DATA partition, the bootloader, the flash or anywhere that has the actual capability to store the worm's data.
see viewtopic.php?p=196365#p196365 if you want to proceed anyway. Given the date it is not for OS6, but linux (particularly Debian) being a champion when it comes to retro-compatibility, it should work. /C is now /data on OS6 I think. But once again, not advised.
I would personally factory reset and wipe the disks, this is the safest method and actually the cleanest too. The fact that you don't want to do it means that you didn't backup the data (if this ressource was downtime critical you would have actually said it in the first post, and you could have patched things temporarily with iptables because you seem to already have SSH enabled). So I insist, backup is crucial, what if the supposed worm destroyed you files ? And that's just an exemple, I could give you some more quite easily...
