Another IoT security fuck-up.

Another day, another IoT security fuck-up.

I don't know if it is a fuck-up if it is deliberate. Still I suppose you can accidentally design in a NAT-busting tunnel into a network camera in the same way as you can accidentally fire an anti-aircraft gun:

Sergeant Frank Tree: You shouldn't touch the ordnance at all. But more specifically, you should never pull this hand-operating lever to the rear.

Ward Douglas: Never.

Sergeant Frank Tree: Do not push a clip of ammunition down into the feed rollers here.

Ward Douglas: No, sir, never.

Sergeant Frank Tree: You never restore this lever to firing position. Do not make sure that this cover is completely closed.

Ward Douglas: No sir.

Sergeant Frank Tree: Never depress operator's foot triggers here, here and at the rear here.
