Interesting read... a P2P backdoor network for certain security cameras (and camera servers)

Wow. Just wow.

And in due time, the gov't will step in and control this.

Until the machines rise against us all.

Actually, I don't think they will...

They recently have shown deep displeasure when a company actually does security right...

They like security, as long it's not secured against THEM

backdoors for cameras :O, this is becoming very much like videos where some hacker or team management is looking through cams and guiding a team through. Or perhaps the intelligence service is using everyone as a source of porn.

IoT? No. (Ever).

The examples of what can be done with this 'basic' hack is very scary.

And some people think that an ISP provided router can't possibly do them harm (until it is shown how it can).

So what can you do to isolate iot devices on the network? I have heard that using the guest network isn't necessarily secure. Would running a router with a different subnet isolate it from the main network?

If possible, best thing would be to create a VLAN and put them all over there and give them their own sandbox...

What do you do when the firmware doesn't support vlans?
