  • Why cant they use mDNS like everyone else? Having to deal with IPv4 broadcast traffic for device discovery in 2021 is like trying to drive a formula 1 car with square wheels

  • Thanks for the Ubiquiti tip. My Ubiquiti devices are scanning my LAN with port 10001. The Symantec Endpoint Protection blocks it.

  • set service ubnt-discover disable will fix this, fwiw.

  • What would be a good test for port 10001? I checked canyouseeme dot org and am not seeing the port open.

  • Must be the same people who port forward RDP 😉

  • Hi Tom,
    I just wanted to say that the quality of content on your channel is AMAZING. I am learning so much. Thank you for doing it. This is easily one of the most educational tech channels on youtube.

  • The people who expose the devices public need to be patched!! 😀 not so much the devices.

  • Thanks Tom for a great vid , I immediately went and checked if port 100001 was open , on both the controllers and on the device side , almost scared me UFW is the best thanks a bunch Tom have a great one 🙂

  • can you go over how to configure your network to counter-act this exploit? i was thinking about changing my default lan ip from 192.168.1.0/24 anyway and might split management. thanks

  • I thought you need port forwarding on 10001 for remote Unifi controllers.

  • Everything should be accessible from the Internet! Convenience is always better than security. 🤣

  • More features always mean more risk. Period. Reason that I do not use the fancy or managed solutions.

  • I am confused is this UniFi. edgeOS or air Max?

  • it just means u need only 50bytes of traffic to generate 200 bytes of traffic = you can make a higher ddos which lower computers/mbits.

  • Can you do video on your chrome plugins please.

  • Some people should not be setting up networks.. Ever!

  • Why would anyone expose a device's management interface, Why can't people stop exposing devices aren't they IT Professionals?
