Is Your Homestead Secure? - Solution Symposium West
VT/telnet/ftp/dtc authentication sends
cleartext passwords over the network
• Any idiot with a packet sniffer can capture these
passwords
• Don't use these protocols over an untrusted network (I.e.
the Internet)
• Use VPN technologies to transit untrusted networks
• MPE network transport does not directly support any
VPN protocols, so you will have to implement them via a
firewall/switch/router/etc external to the 3000
