Handle root access
Currently, the device is not secured with a password.
I see two options to handle this:
- Create initial root password and first boot and show it in boot screen.
- Secure against purely remote attacks, but still no security if the attacker gets access to the device.
- Deactivate ssh completely and add option in WebUI to activate it.
- In this case, the WebUI should also be password protected.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome to make photOS secure by default while still allowing for manual customization.
Option 2 seems to be the best. And in the case that you cannot access the device via SSH connection due to a non-public IP (cable internet), add the functionality of remote_settings.txt via the cloud. ;-)
I'd vote for option 2, too. I don't know if it would be hard to make the WebUI https ? I'd also vote for a WebUI Setting to customize the frame's (local) URL.
