Search results for query: port forwarding hacked

OK, so you DID do the "calisthenics"....it was not apparent. Port forwarding may be the issue and someone has hacked in and killed your FTP upload.

I always access the NVR either at the NVR or through web browser on my private network. I seldom use P2P, but that port was open. They were able to log into the admin account. QR code, serial number or password has never been put on the web or made public. I knew Dahua did have a backdoor...

My thoughts exactly after reading it.

Did your logs show access and an ip#? Did they use “admin”? How are you accessing the NVR ? Port forwarding? Depending on the age of your machine and FW they don’t have to crack your password. Put a non updated 5+ year old windows PC exposed via port 80 forwarding on the internet and see how...

Just try not to make it boxes worth of cheap crap cams :lmao: Many of us have been there! If I added up how much I spent on all these cameras sitting in boxes I would cry LOL. So you have a great Empiretech camera and a cheapo Reolink camera. Those are two great ones to play with. Try to...

Sorry I was glib. Wow, I didn't expect this much ;0) No, the BI NVR kept working. I could WOL to try and do a reset of sorts and it went down and came back up. What does bother me is that the recording space was enough for a little more than 3 weeks. Given three cameras were offline for...

Having read your initial post I still have no clue what you’re trying to say or inferring to. :facepalm: So I’m going to break this down because there’s a lot to unpack here. There’s a problem with the BI NVR because all the recorded video is white. If you play back that video what period does...

I'm sorry to say, you probably have a difficult learning curve ahead of you. I'm guessing whatever remote access method you were using before requires IPv4 port forwarding. If you don't know anything about that, then it most likely was done automatically via a router feature called "UPnP"...

If you know who is doing it, your stuff may be OK to be able to recognize them. Do you live in city limits or unincorporated area? If in city more than likely they won't do anything sadly. Do not connect anything to the router. Do not scan QR codes and no port forwarding. If you want to view...

Please explain how a VPN is worse than port forwarding. I have never worked for a company that had us port forward into our system. Instead we would VPN in. I have only heard of unsuspecting home owners using port forwarding, not corporations.

Best not to post after you've smoked a few. That's just garbage, IMO, and adds to the recent factual errors you've posted that I should probably have reacted to and corrected.

Troll much? Either you enjoy yanking chains, or you don't realize that you are spewing outdated/incorrect information that is doing a complete disservice to the members of this forum. You are absolutely wrong about a VPN being worse than port forwarding. You are spewing information that will...

Its actually worse to VPN I imagine some DVRs are susceptible to this, but I doubt the BI server would have issues and none of the linux servers I ever port forwarded got hacked. I run a few hundred linux servers without a network firewall for decades. Btw, that was a paranoid article "weapons...

That is why port forwarding is a bad practice. But as far as blue Iris, it has to be set up on windows server instead of the consumer windows and security setting set up like a web hosting where there is no firewall (except its own). with a public CA cert. Right now I need to get a new copy for...

There are vulnerabilities within P2P itself and the device whether it is a camera or NVR. Flat out these devices are not secure, which is ironic LOL. It comes down to your level of convenience and amount of risk you want to take. Everything in life has a risk. At the very least you should VLAN...

Hackers don't care about your camera feed. Hackers use a vulnerable device (NVR or camera) that has ZERO protection on it to get into your LAN and either scrape it for bank info or use your ISP as a bot for DDoS attacks. Your antivirus software and router firewall do not block this crap because...

While not totally related to this camera, it does show how cameras can be exploited even when there wasn't a plug-in needed. Hackers don't care about your camera feed. Hackers use a vulnerable device (NVR or camera) that has ZERO protection on it to get into your LAN and either scrape it for...

I have been guilty of using the p2p solution because of poor networking skills. This would be a good time for me to become familiar with the open VPN setup.

OK. So you have no problem viewing the cameras through the NVR system while on the local network, correct? Your problem occurs when you try to access the NVR feeds while away? If this is the case, your issue probably lies within your network's router, not the NVR. Right now I suspect that...

Or if UPnP is enabled.

No, Dahua didnt send you crippleware in the middle of the night. You have to setup MD on the IP camera itself. NOT the XVR. The camera will typically override most settings you make on the XVR when it reboots for any reason. You cant treat IP cams the same as analog cams. ALL settings should...

I told you how Blink gets your video to the internet and allows you to see it - it is using P2P. And without talking to their servers, the system won't work. It is slightly safer than port forwarding, but not by much. You are putting all your faith in some company to have proper security in...

Just read this..

A google search indicates they are an internet security company that scans the internet to see what is out there and potentially vulnerable to threats. You can reduce the incidence of such events in your log by using a much less common port number (such as something between 10000 and 65535)...

Maybe - but more likely to be a firmware vulnerability that was exploited for the (unspecified) camera with the (unspecified) firmware version. No - it does not matter if the camera can be addressed by name or by IP address - if you have configured a dynamic DNS service you presumably have...

Port forwarding is a bad idea How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) | IP Cam Talk

Doing this is going to require quite a lot of technical skill, especially to do it securely. What I would do is identify the location with the best, most reliable internet connection and reliable power, and put a server there which would aggregate the video streams into one convenient web page...

Whoa you had the FBI call you about what was happening on your system - who hacked you and what were they doing?

jmhmcse : Thanks, Iv'e turned off my 30 cameras and BI server as I think two cameras have been hacked. Before shutdown, BI can see the camera data( views) and uses the passwords and usernames from my records. Trying from a browser, I get rejected. With a pin reset , it askes for password...
