ReadyNAS Pro Business Hacked/Compromised
I have a real problem. About a month ago, my ISP (Time Warner) quarantined my public IP. When I called them, I was told that there was a complaint from Europe that my public IP was trying to brute for...
So, I’ve performed the steps listed earlier, and it seems I’ve gotten rid of the trojan/worm/whatever that was infecting my ReadyNAS. At least, I no longer see any attempts to connect to random hosts on the Internet on port 22 (SSH).
A few things to note.
1. When I restored the firmware (using the paperclip method), as the ReadyNAS was booting, it displayed the private IP address it received from the local DHCP server, but after the ReadyNAS booted all the way, the LED screen switched to displaying IP address 65.152.109.110. This address seems to be geographically located in western Arkansas. At the same time, I was able to log into the ReadyNAS using the private IP it initially displayed on the LED screen. Can anyone explain why it was showing this public IP on the ReadyNAS? Incidentally, once I restored all of my ReadyNAS settings from the Config Backup, the LED screen started showing my private static IP address just as it’s supposed to do.
2. I restored the settings from the Config Backup that I made before I followed the method described above. I noticed that my Logitech Media Server (aka Squeezebox Server, SqueezeCenter, etc.) was no longer able to obtain “My Apps” installed under my profile on mysqueezebox.com. After several times of installing, uninstalling, disabling, enabling Logitech Media Server, and even restarting the ReadyNAS, I realized that DNS servers were not configured on the ReadyNAS. So, when I restored the ReadyNAS configuration from the Configuration Backup, DNS servers did not get restored. It’s probably a bug in the current firmware 4.2.22. As soon as I added DNS servers, I was able to log in to Logitech Media Server with mysqueezebox.com credentials, and “My Apps” showed up in the Logitech Media Center.
3. This one is major and important! My existing iSCSI target is no longer listed under Volumes -> Volume Settings -> iSCSI. However, if I SSH to the ReadyNAS and navigate to /c/.iscsi, the iSCSI target (file size is 68 GB) is still present there. So, how do I get the ReadyNAS to recognize that iSCSI target and make it available in Volumes -> Volume Settings -> iSCSI? I need to enable it and start using it.
Thanks!
