RE: Odd Pen-test: Security Camera

Usually the cameras have telnet / ftp access and usually are susceptible to
attacks in the same manner other machines are. The network cameras we
currently have have no protection against DoS or DDoS attacks and can be
knocked offline real easy. I would recommend the cameras not be setup to be
viewed by external sources such as the AXIS cameras when issued an IP.
