web directory brute forcing logs, any issue??

[wozzzzza]

getting a tonne of these, is this an issue??

Do you have any remote access set up, is UPNP enabled on your router / NVR?

 

[wittaj]

Cross threading but maybe you are hacked and thus the reason footage is missing?

 

[bigredfish]

Yeah that doesn't sound good..

no idea, where do i find this in the NVR?
i have remote access setup yes.

 

[wittaj]

It would be under the Networking Tab of your NVR settings.

I am leaning towards you have been hacked and that is why your files are missing from your other thread.

found it upnp, port mapping is unticked. i have all custom ports as well

 

[wittaj]

Custom ports is simply a false sense of security as evident by the brute force attacks., plus it doesn't prevent the backdoor vulnerabilities.

Take the HDD out and test it and it will probably show fine.

 

[bigredfish]

Yeah I think we’ve narrowed it down to HD or hacked, and that last message points to possibly hacked

if hacked what to do then?

 

[wozzzzza]

only have one date entry for this from a few days ago, i lost footage longer ago than this and no log entry for that.

 

[bigredfish]

How are you accessing it remotely? Is it port forwarded in your router ? or via P2P on the NVR?

Regardless, check the HD as @wittaj mentioned

If hackjed, a full factory reset should correct it, and disconnect it from the Interwebs until you can be sure

port forwarded in router

 

[wittaj]

port forwarded in router

That is likely the cause....

And backdoor vulnerability exploits will not show up in a log so that is how some video can be missing - we have seen it here before with people that have port forwarded.

 

[bigredfish]

Yup

At minimum, use the P2P function on the NVR. It still safer than port forwarding your router.
Ideally do neither and setup openVPN on your router and the client app on your phone/laptop

But first you should verify the HD or replace it, and remove the port forwarding in your router, and do a factory default on the NVR.

 

[wozzzzza]

how does p2p function work?

 

[wozzzzza]

i thought it was more dangerous to use p2p than port forward??

 

[Mike A.]

Generally not. With a port forwarded you've got a door open directly into a host on your network and any vulnerabilities that exist may be exploited.

P2P isn't great either for a variety of reasons but a little more indirect at least.
