Dunsandle

I have a Zeus-8 with P/N 1.1.03.51.0195 S/N 826061100085 It is connected to the Internet and as a result of the attack on the Dyn service last year it was infected and apparently is being used as a botnet. This resulted in my IP address being blacklisted so I had to disconnect it from the Internet. The supplier of the equipment told me that the manufacturers have no intention of developing a solution to the problem, new firmware or anything else which might resolve the issue. The unit is probably five years old. Is there anything I can do?

I wonder if this account is now being attacked. The Dyndns account is deleted and I have disconnected the DVR from the Internet and changed passwords. I am still being blacklisted when I reconnect to the Internet so, either the attack is on this account or else I have a virus on the DVR and no way that I know of to clear it. Is it advisable to delete the existing account with you and create a new one?

The DVR now has a red light on the 'net' led. I can only access the cameras over the internet infrequently. Sometimes I can view on my phone but other times it reports that it failed to connect. Is the DVR dying?

Hi, I meant to ask if there was a viewer for Windows 10? the viewer supplied with the DVR doesn't work even when running iExplorer.

Hi, I presume I will have to make changes in my router. On the Dynamic DNS Service the following fields are: Interface - check box Username Password Confirm Password Service Host The Service field is a drop-down with the following choices: dyndns statdns custom No-IP DtDNS gnudip I assume the choice in this case would be custom? Hi, I have it set up and I can connect. I really appreciate all the time, advice and assistance and for your patience. It felt like I was looking into the proverbial burning bush. All the best and thanks again.

Is the botnet or virus or whatever on my dvr or is it in the ddns? You don't have botnet...... it will be something from your ddns and since it was setup by someone else there could be others on the same account I doubt if there are others on the same account because it was set up with my username and password. My friend would not do anything like that. Could it be that the attack on the ddns allowed the hacker(s) to compromise my account?

TCP Port: 1010 UDP Port: 1011 HTTP Port: 80 Should I 'publish' the Preferred and Alternate DNS here? Would that lead to a security risk? On the modem/router there is a setting in the Games section of 192.168.1.108 which is the address of the dvr.

Dyn is a ddns service Who set the port forwarding for you ? My friend who set it up for me. Unfortunately, he is not in a position to help me at the moment. What port should I look for? On checking the setup I find a TCP Port, a UDP Port and a HTTP Port. There is also a Preferred DNS and and Alternate DNS.

Hi, My service provider provided me with the static address. I am in Ireland and my broadband is over what used to be an eircom line (now eir) but my provider supplies this service to me, not eircom. Later addition: When you say I need to remove my ddns account is that on my PC, my modem/router or the dvr? OK, I have checked for the definition of ddns and now realise that is my DynDns account (I think). If I disable that how can I then see my cameras from anywhere? I really appreciate your answers and your time and sorry for being so uninformed about the whole area. A friend set the system up for me and maybe that explains my total lack of knowledge.

Hi tomcctv, I am completely lost. I don't understand the question about ddns. I was told that I should, ideally, have a static address for my connection with www.dyndns.org, otherwise the service provider would assign a different address from time to time. I don't know what ports are open or otherwise, I just have no idea. Bots may not rewrite but can a hacker not change the firmware and make it a bot? What happened to the Zeus that causes my IP address to be blocked when connected? This happened almost immediately after the attack on the dyndns server on which I have my account. Will I have to purchase a new dvr?

Thanks for the reply. I have a static IP address and anytime I put the Zeus on-line within 30 minutes I am blacklisted on two sites - ultratools.com and spamhaus.org. A technician at the suppliers said that a virus may reside in the ram or buffer used to load the firmware. I have tried changing password, rebooting, resetting, etc., to no avail. The mistake was that I stupidly did not change the password when initially installing it. What does p2p mean? I am not very knowledgeable about all the terminology or technical terms.
