So learn something and stop being a defensive ungrateful prick...
Fenderman can come across like a jerk, sure. But, it's only because he practices "tough love". The truth hurts sometimes. But, he loves you. And, because he loves you, he will tell you the truth. Sometimes, we do not want to hear the truth, so we feel all butthurt by it. However, deep down inside, know from that butthurt is a buttload of fenderlove.
If that port is open to Internet traffic, then yes. An open port is an open port. There's not anything special about port 8000. It's only being called a "server port" by wherever you got that because there's a server/listening device installed behind it.
Not sure. The specific exploit discussed here is to the underlying HikCGI protocol used. Don't know whether that's limited only to authentication via http. I wouldn't trust it myself but I don't trust anything about these cams and similar IoT devices. If it's not subject to this specific vulnerability, then it probably will be to another.
Fascinating. You seem to have discovered (accidentally, of course - I understand) a den of russian voyeuristic perverts who collaboratively use camera vulnerabilities to exercise their hand and arm muscles. It was very thoughtful of them to choose .hk domain for their home. Well, it was expected and the interpipes delivered. The other thing that was predicted and is yet to be discovered was a massive botnet. The clock is likely ticking.
That of course would be the responsible thing to do.
You are more.likely to look out your window and see this...montecrypto said:
