Surely though mate if you have a password in your dm800 'root' and then your own password, they cant hack in?

its easy to hack via ftp, but not mine

the moment you connect to my network, my pc will log it and trace back any open ports

weather they get in or not to your router not pc they will check 12000 first and will no its there passwords in db might as well be non existant when you change password dreambox is still there all you do is delete new pass and your back to dreambox as pass. it takes along time to check open ports but if i was trying to hack in i would try 12000 first then 14000 then 16&18nobody would check 17321 for instance so why make it easy?
