[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 833677"] Most IoT devices are infected out of the box. But I guess the term infected may mean different things to different people. For me, anything with backdoor telemetry and/or network sniffing is infected. You'll find in upwards of 80% of IoT sold on Amazon comes pre-infected. The latest cameras, plugs, light bulbs, all of it is pre-infected. The ones that aren't directly infected are backdoor ready, easily exploitable, and sometimes can greatly compromise your network and other devices. Most people don't realize how bad it really is. Almost every Comcast router has a backdoor built in that will allow anyone within range of to compromise it via the broadcast of the open Xfinity WiFi networks. The only way to disable them is to specifically call support to ask those to be disabled, but they will always turn back on with each new configuration or firmware push. Traversing guest network restrictions (Ghetto VLAN) has gone way beyond POC, but when the TG/DG from Comcast is readily designed for infiltration, people really don't realize how bad it is. So anyway... Why not HMP-A for this? I know Team Talos hammered HMPA for quite some time, found a couple of vulns, and helped get them patched. So HMPA might be the most vetted and tested solution. If you had to choose one single thing. It has most of the required protections.
