Forum Discussion
Users are discussing the implications of SSH being enabled by default on their audio interfaces.
It’s still crazy to me that everyone has a pocket AI-hacker ready to inspect firmware and modify their devices now. You just put the agent on it and it gives you access in minutes.
Security Concerns
Some users are concerned about the potential security risks of having SSH enabled by default.
Why was disclosure the objective? Wouldn’t you want to keep this interface open?
Others are praising the openness of the device’s firmware, with one user stating:
Having the firmware image just be a boring old tarball + hash sounds super nice. I wish more devices were this open, and I hope Rode won’t see this and decide to lock the firmware upgrades down.
