Good vs. Evil

66 when typing php code directly inside a terminal it works. When I try and execute a file, it does not .

edit: found the bug. I did a stupid and php doesn't want to show errors despite my script starting with

error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

>_>

65 That's the point. Don't let IOT devices touch your main network. Also, there almost certainly are bugs in VLC, all software of sufficient complexity has bugs.

65 also, there is a password on the telnet (a custom one) and I can also change the port. I'm also pretty sure I can have it run as a user with very little rights and even if there are bugs that would allow it. How many people are setting something like that up?

If you want to exploit it you first need to break into the network of someone who uses it and then break the custom password set. Sure, its possible but I think a hacker finds it more useful to look at other attack vectors than VLC and especially an VLC instance running as a daemon listening to telnet.

edit: I may also be able to throw something like firejail over it.

67 I'm going with you're safe, I was just trying to point out that you need to make sure that you think about what you're doing with network accessible devices.
