There's a rich history of extraneous ports, services, debugging, backdoors, hardcoded credentials, etc. etc. across all types of products from all types of vendors, from the well-established "Makin' Boat Payments Big Boys" to "Fly-By-Night, Inc." Also, most all of the 802.11b/g VoIP Wireless phones released in the past year or so have these type of simplistic security issues which should've been caught way back in QA. Btw, back in 2004, Network World did a basic wired-side analysis of 15 access points and found these exact same issues, see http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2004/1004wirelesslockside.pdf Realistically, I don't expect this situation to change, whether it's a US $50,000 "enterprise-class, best-of-breed, blah, blah, blah" or a US $50 "home network" box....or as one funny, insightful security engineer I worked with put it years ago -- "It's all the same. Nobody cares." Thanks! --scm _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
