Thanks!
250 is not far away.
It's crazy how fast this happened.
I'm hoping for some more engaging conversations as well, instead of the majority of posts being unrelated. But maybe that's just the norm here.
I got an interesting one for you guys: found out recently that port 22 (SSH) was open on my home ISP router's WAN port. An "ssh -v" from an external connection shows that it's "dropbear sshd". I had double checked that UPnP was disabled (from day one), no ports were forwarded, nothing is in DMZ, etc. It turns out that the router manufacturer sometimes enables it (possibly during QA?) and it's generally not possible to alter it from our end. It seems even the ISP is not able to do much (well, I'm sure someone there is, but likely not accessible from us just calling into their technical support line).
Did some more digging and it seems tons of devices on the interwebs has it enabled (I'm sure many of them are legitimate and enabled intentionally). Check it out: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=product:"Dropbear+sshd"
In any case, far too many of them are outdated, and have exploitable vulnerabilities. That is not cool.
I encourage you guys to look into open ports and other vulnerabilities on your network.
I'll be moving up my "set up pfSense/OPNsense firewall" project...
Thanks for this. It definitely isn't cool to have SSH port open. Will check in my end as well and see if its open. BTW, assuming you are from India, what's the ISP?
