[1117.88 --> 1118.36] that you want to |
[1118.36 --> 1120.10] share goes into that |
[1120.10 --> 1122.04] shared area if you |
[1122.04 --> 1122.64] like that shared |
[1122.64 --> 1123.52] organization and we've |
[1123.52 --> 1124.58] both got access to it. |
[1124.70 --> 1125.38] I find that really |
[1125.38 --> 1125.74] useful. |
[1126.24 --> 1126.86] There's of course other |
[1126.86 --> 1127.72] solutions out there. |
[1127.84 --> 1128.70] Another beloved one in |
[1128.70 --> 1129.38] the audience is |
[1129.38 --> 1130.70] KeePass and KeePassX |
[1130.70 --> 1132.36] and there's several |
[1132.36 --> 1134.06] solutions to this but |
[1134.06 --> 1135.08] Bitwarden is the one we |
[1135.08 --> 1136.10] both landed on I think |
[1136.10 --> 1137.60] in part because of the |
[1137.60 --> 1138.56] UI, the browser |
[1138.56 --> 1140.24] integration, the ability |
[1140.24 --> 1142.12] to self-host and the |
[1142.12 --> 1143.00] quality of the mobile |
[1143.00 --> 1144.20] apps all kind of come |
[1144.20 --> 1145.02] together to make it our |
[1145.02 --> 1145.62] favorite choice. |
[1146.16 --> 1146.80] So whilst we're sort of |
[1146.80 --> 1147.86] kind of on the topic of |
[1147.86 --> 1149.44] security, why don't we |
[1149.44 --> 1151.70] discuss the Plex hoopla |
[1151.70 --> 1152.68] that's been going on as |
[1152.68 --> 1155.42] well about this botnet |
[1155.42 --> 1156.26] thing that's been |
[1156.26 --> 1157.70] amplifying stuff across |
[1157.70 --> 1158.16] the internet? |
[1158.16 --> 1159.50] It just stinks because |
[1159.50 --> 1160.86] you know you got a Plex |
[1160.86 --> 1162.28] server going, you've |
[1162.28 --> 1163.02] opened it up to the |
[1163.02 --> 1163.74] internet so that way you |
[1163.74 --> 1164.40] can share it. |
[1164.78 --> 1165.94] Some scanner finds your |
[1165.94 --> 1167.74] server, indexes it and |
[1167.74 --> 1168.84] then some botnet author |
[1168.84 --> 1170.88] figures out a way to |
[1170.88 --> 1171.78] take advantage of a |
[1171.78 --> 1172.98] vulnerability in Plex to |
[1172.98 --> 1174.86] amplify by a factor of |
[1174.86 --> 1177.28] five their DDoS traffic. |
[1177.50 --> 1179.48] They kind of corral all of |
[1179.48 --> 1180.36] these different Plex |
[1180.36 --> 1182.54] installs together to kind |
[1182.54 --> 1183.90] of do this amplified |
[1183.90 --> 1185.30] attack against a single |
[1185.30 --> 1186.64] source and just happened |
[1186.64 --> 1187.50] the last week as we're |
[1187.50 --> 1188.20] recording this. |
[1188.60 --> 1189.90] NetScout said that there |
[1189.90 --> 1191.02] was a DDoS for hire |
[1191.02 --> 1192.62] service that recently |
[1192.62 --> 1194.16] turned misconfigured Plex |
[1194.16 --> 1195.34] media servers into |
[1195.34 --> 1196.74] amplifying attack servers. |
[1196.74 --> 1198.72] Rut roll. |
[1199.20 --> 1200.26] Yeah, not only does it |
[1200.26 --> 1201.20] suck up all of your |
[1201.20 --> 1202.40] bandwidth and attack |
[1202.40 --> 1203.50] somebody but it also |
[1203.50 --> 1204.64] runs your server like |
[1204.64 --> 1205.06] crazy. |
[1205.38 --> 1206.50] It's just bad. |
[1206.98 --> 1207.90] Yeah, what really kind |
[1207.90 --> 1209.30] of, I don't want to use |
[1209.30 --> 1210.90] the word scared me, but |
[1210.90 --> 1212.06] I suppose so, you know, |
[1212.26 --> 1213.38] gave me cause for a |
[1213.38 --> 1215.80] concern at least was just |
[1215.80 --> 1218.78] opening port 32400, |
[1218.96 --> 1222.52] 32400 on TCP, just |
[1222.52 --> 1224.26] opening that port alone is |
[1224.26 --> 1225.58] enough to be vulnerable |
[1225.58 --> 1226.30] because it's such a |
[1226.30 --> 1226.94] common port. |
[1227.64 --> 1228.68] People will scan it and |
[1228.68 --> 1229.58] find it and then be like, |
[1229.64 --> 1230.34] oh, this guy's running |
[1230.34 --> 1230.74] Plex. |
[1231.10 --> 1231.24] Yeah. |
[1231.48 --> 1233.14] So what I've done since |
[1233.14 --> 1234.38] this vulnerability to |
[1234.38 --> 1235.62] kind of remove myself |
[1235.62 --> 1239.06] from the risk factor is |
[1239.06 --> 1239.96] I've closed that port in |
[1239.96 --> 1241.10] my firewall and I have |
[1241.10 --> 1242.74] started to define a |
[1242.74 --> 1244.66] custom server URL in my |
[1244.66 --> 1245.68] Plex server settings. |
[1245.68 --> 1248.04] And I set a DNS entry in |
[1248.04 --> 1248.56] Cloudflare. |
[1249.24 --> 1251.00] That then points to my |
[1251.00 --> 1251.64] WAN IP. |
