To the various remote management ports listening on the DSL modem itself. Between RCE vulnerabilities, accidentally unauthenticated management features or even just upnp listening on the WAN port, there are infinite means for owning the network behind the device.
- iforgotpassword 8y agoBut that's more of a general problem that still happens on modern devices, even with ipv6. ISP wants some port open on the device for remote management but is so incompetent that it's actually reachable worldwide.
- pilif 8y agoYes. I was just responding to the claim that with IPv4, thanks to NAT a malicious packet would not be able to be routed anywhere unsafe. A NAT router without any kind of firewall functionality is incredibly unsafe too so even the cheapest ones have some of it these days. Which follows that the cheapest IPv6 routers would also have a firewall and thus would not be inherently worse at protecting the internal network than a v4 router doing NAT would.
