Networkable DSLRs trivially hacked

Re: EOS-1DX: Can be hacked into a spying device?

It seems we're in a hurry in the world to make everything wireless, from medical devices to cameras...yet, the time isn't being taken to secure or encrypt the transmissions. Your own camera spying on you? Remote control heart attack by messing with someones pacemaker?

You need to stop watching so much Homeland and crime dramas. And yes, I've read the articles and the crap spewed by Barnaby Jack, it's still just fodder for sensationalists.

Hmm...I've never seen Homeland, and I'm going to have to Google who Barnaby Jack is after I post this....

But I do work in tech, and I do have work in the security areas, and know a bit about penetration testing. This all isn't just sensationalism.

If you bothered to watch the video, ...

Not a valid address.

Sorry 'bout that. The Canon Rumors forum does weird things to links. I've just fixed it, but you also could have copy / pasted the text of the link....

Interesting, thanks for sharing ... but, if I am not wrong, I don't think most photographers would be concerned with it.
I use 5D MK III with CamRanger for my WiFi needs and it is secured with a password, so me not worried ;D

Well, I'm curious if that password makes for an encrypted connection...or not?

If not, would be trivial to do a man-in-the-middle attack, and gain info and access....
