Possible ways of having unauthorized access in unraid


Recommended Posts

Anyone with physical access to the USB drive and the array system can get access to files that are not encrypted. They can wipe out the password fields entirely on the flash drive from a different system, insert the modified flash drive into the unraid system and turn it on. After boot up, they will have the system without passwords.

 

The way to protect against that is using drive encryption with a passphrase only you know that is not stored on anything they have physical access to.

 

However, I am unable to answer the question if your brother is smart enough to do this.

One way to help is to install the Fix Common Problems plugin.  That plugin have a setting for the maximum number of invalid login attempts in a day.  Then change your password to one that is at least 8 characters long and something difficult to guess since it is your brother.  You also need to physically secure your server which may be much more difficult.  Make sure that you have setup the certificate on your server so that you are using https.

He is smart , but I know when he unplug the flash drive out. after reseting the pass he has anyway to get access to the server?
