    Ah yes web-based controls, one of the first excuses to break your security. These days they just tell you the panel is controlled by an app. And what are you going to do, not have controls on your dam?

    These days children have to have an app to be allowed to attend school. And all my medical records are authorized with an app. They even have an iPad to lend to people (me) who don't have a cell phone. It's just ludicrous.

    @cy Right - and as I probably don't have to explain to you (given that you have a PGP key in your bio!), these sorts of control systems are often sitting ducks even if the default admin password isn't publicly available to those who know how to do an advanced search.

    Many of them will readily succumb to an automated brute force attack using one of the several password-cracking tools packaged with Kali, BlackArch etc.

    'Cos they're not indexed by regular search engines, so the security is lax. 🫣

    One of these days I'll find someone else with a PGP key in their bio 🤞
