Search results for query: port forwarding hacked

I use a UPS and a generator. There is no other way than to replace the power, somehow, during a blackout. I also use a VPN to view the cameras remotely. Port forwarding is an invitation to be hacked, not necessarily to steal information although that happens far too often, but to have your...

Sure, I would but the end users are not techie enough to use VM.....

Try an old version of IE / Windows in a VM. It's hard to make infrequently updated hardware work with software like a browser that's always updating. Exposing the nvr to the internet via port forwarding is a serious risk. It's very likely it will eventually be hacked/bricked as a result.

Correct, port forwarding is not secure: https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ Setting up SMTP notifications is slightly less than realtime. But most have reported it works well for them. Once notified of an alert via email on their phone, they will access their...

You dont need to have the NVR update your ip. Most routers support this function. That said port forwarding will get you hacked pretty fast.

OK, so the entire internet has access to the system. I'd speculate that they are being hacked / messed with by mischievous / malicious access from the internet. One way to confirm that would be to shut down the port forwarding and see if the problem persists. This very good advice is worth...

The more I start to understand these systems the more questions I have. Thanks for the education. So the stuff I’m reading on the Dahua site about using port forwarding for remote access with iDMSS is not secure and you guys recommend VPN? My concern with VPN is the additional load on my...

Lot of misses from a rather cheap manufacturer from China, but they can easily fix the bugs and move on. After all, there aren't that many NVR builders around the world, so they do have their slice from the market for sure. Isn't similar scenarios possible with Dahua, Hikvision, Tuya and all...

They might be being hacked, if they are accessible from the internet. Try admin passwords : asdf1234 1111aaa These are common consequences of being hacked by the 'backdoor vulnerability'. Is UPnP enabled on the cameras and the router? That would allow inbound access. Port forwarding enabled? A...

I agree everything has their issues and if it is connected it can be hacked. that being said one of the reasons I have been buying Dahua from andy is he makes things right and very quickly whereas I had a Hikvision speed dome from another vendor on here and while it was still under warranty it...

If you have a port open for any reason it is a risk. 8080 is a very common alternate port for port 80 and will get hammered. Every attempt is moving the point of probability closer and closer to being hacked. Use a VPN, OpenVPN is easiest, and stop forwarding ports. Yes, it's an extra step...

You're probably port forwarding and being scanned by hackers. Read these two threads and get a VPN going, an inbound VPN not the services you see advertised to hide your surfing. Those are outbound VPNs. Secure Network https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/...

Thanks for the good info. I do know about port forwarding as I used it years ago to log into our computer at work using port 3389 on a windows xp pro machine. I know this port is no longer safe to use anymore even though we never got hacked back when we used it. That was in the early 2000's...

Use the remote connect feature of Blue Iris to connect to another Blue Iris remote Location. Read the BI help file. Setup a VPn between each location. Using port forwarding is asking to be hacked. Read the links already provided.

If someone switches from a subscription fee device to one without, why the heck would this person use HA instead of the doorbell app ? He doesnt care about anything at first, so why should he now ? He will only see "free" and after the 10th missed call he will abandon the product and go back...

yeah well like I said I cant access it from outside... and again way over my head with vpn , P2P and port fowarding...hence my quest for dummies guide... Im older and not exactly tech savvy so the struggle is real.

Well you do not want to be able to access it from the outside without going thru OpenVPN or some other VPN that puts you back on your home network. This isn't a paid VPN - those are for illegal video streaming and porno lol because they hide your IP. You need a VPN that does not hide your IP...

P2P opens your system up to being hacked and being used for DDoS attacks as all your data is passing off to third parties, and in many instances it has been found that these cameras and NVRs are vulnerable and insecure and end up passing your login credentials unencrypted - kinda ironic isn't it...

First thing to do is to remove the ethernet cable from the DVR. You will then only be able to view it from the monitor it is hooked to. That looks like an older analog BNC DVR, so it is probably connected to the internet with P2P or port forwarding of the router. If you did not provide the...

This is very unfortunate for your customers. The password strength is completely irrelevant as most of the hacks circumvent the password. The the device was in fact hacked you may not get an illegal login email. Here is a dahua p2p vulnerability from May of 2020. Consider the timeline between...

Very possible for it to be hacked. Especially if P2P or UPnP or port forwarding are on and password is not strong or is the default password. It is why most of us VPN back into our system instead of one of the above.

You may think you weren't forwarding but you were. If you used the BI magic setup for access it will forward the port for you. Secure Network https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ VPN Primer https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

----- I say: I am an MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and a CCNP (Cisco Certified Networking Professional). Countless people come to this forum depending on kind and generous help from others more able than they are, hoping for help to overcome their technological knowledge...

The standard on here is captured in both links @sebastiantombs shared: "NEVER FORWARD PORTS". Do folks do it? All the time. How much of a risk is it? For a single app like BI, it is probably low, but not really known. Most of the folks who do it would rarely figure out if they had been...

Thanks I checked out those top 2 links already. They don't really tell you how to enable LAN only access or give much information about ports and routing. Not a helpful attitude from the developer or forum. If the product uses a network to function, then it set up should be explained. That's...

It sounds like either UPnP is inadvertently enabled on the NVR networking (and on your LAN router) or you have specifically set up port forwarding on your router. Either way - the entire internet has access to the device, not good. Check this out ...

That is, if you also want to put your LAN, and the devices and data on it, at risk of being hacked by letting the entire internet access a device with security vulnerabilities. Check out the many posts and advice on setting up a VPN - much safer and secure, for example ...

Here ya go, since you apparently don't know the meaning yourself. "to criticize unfairly; disparage." @mat200 got it spot on. Are you trolling or just being a jerk? More reading: (6) Hikvision Honeypot Hackathon | IP Cam Talk
