Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
Since last weekend (24-APR-2021) I have ditched my TS-269 Pro and TS-253 Pro and replaced it with an Asustor AS6604T. The best part is was actually able to sell my used units for more than what I paid for the Asustor!
Next to go are both of my TS-670 Pro w. i7-3770, 16Gig RAM and my TS-870 Pro w. i7-3770, 16Gig RAM, I will be replacing them with a couple of used Asustor AS7010T. It'll probably be a couple of weeks before the used unit arrive.
Initial thoughts of the AS6604T, omg, it's what a NAS should be and the hard disks actually spin down! I forgot how quiet a NAS can actually be.

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
Well, I'm no longer going to be selling or recommending them to my clients...
The forced apps have been annoying. The crashing NFS in the firmware last year was aggravating. My argument with their support that started last month regarding drive encryption where it took them a month to just wash their hands of me and say "no we won't support that setup"... Oh, and I'm trying to get their support to fix a spanning tree bug in their switches. Yea, I've lost all confidence in their ability to produce stable, decent, trustworthy gear.
But for what is already deployed... I can't just rip them all out. I am blocking all Internet bound traffic from my qnap units except udp/123 (ntp) since QNap won't come clean on the attack vector.
Where are you selling your units? I've just listed one for sale here... I tried eBay, but selling there is a mess now since they dropped PayPal.
Thanks!

I am listing my NASes on a local site - kijiji - no need to deal with credit cards, paypal etc, just instant email money transfer.
I think the only QNAP unit I will keep for a while is the TVS-EC1080.

Have a 12-drive rackmount SuperMicro chassis on the way (was already thinking about it as I need more room in the rack) for TrueNas. Will likely keep Ryzen QNAP online, but will offline my smaller ones.

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
I now see my QNAP TS251A as the weakest link in my security, even though not exposed to the internet. Rethinking the whole NAS idea as well as backup storage.
I'm not sure if any NAS vendor has significantly better security.
Synology has also been around a while and is also a target. My Netgear NAS's were a joke.
ASUS NAS's are relatively recent, how do we know their security will be that much better than QNAP, once the hacker community starts to focus on them?
As for this whole thick volume, thin volume, snapshot set of features - its like a fancy office building built on sand. Better to stick with the basics.

Synology have had a few attacks in the past as well, but no where near as many as QNAP. Also, take a look at the sheer number of CVE entries for QNAP compared to Synology.Synology has also been around a while and is also a target. My Netgear NAS's were a joke.

Synology and Asustor appear to have taken radically different approaches to their respective software architectures compared to QNAP. I am still putting my Asustor though its paces, and I will not be making the ADM interface accessible from the Internet, but I do plan on making some other services available - after I have subjected them to various levels of OpenVAS and Nexpose testing.

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
Just a word of caution to those wanting to use FreeNAS/TrueNAS on QNap hardware...
I've tried it on a few (and you can see my posts -- same name on the TrueNAS community) but only the older models seem to work. Many of the newer QNap models use a Marvell 88SE1475 SATA interface chip which is not supported in the Linux or BSD mainline kernels. While I've found a copy of the mv14xx kernel module source on the QNap downloads (see the QXP-1600eS card) my attempts to use it have always ended in kernel panics. I'm not a kernel developer, so my ability to debug past this point is limited.

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
Thats more likely down to who left QNAP years ago to join Synology and Asustor. I heard all the good techies left QNAP years ago. there other thing is most of Synology and Asustor are packaged based and they update accordingly. QNAP on the other hand adds Apache/php and mysql into firmware which makes updating these packages near non existant.
SQL on the latest QTS is MariaDB 5.5.x which is eol of life last year. they are aware of it however as I have raised tickets with them this week.

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
i did not get hit by the recent security issues in the past few years (including this recent one). although i am still monitoring the situation as it unfolds, cause you never know. i use my qnap on lan only without port forwarding, and i usually update regularly and have backups for emergencies.
i acknowledge there is more issues for users that require remote access (hence the stories about qsnatch, qlocker etc). but for my own particular usage, it seems i am less affected by these types of things usually :
qnap nas is my daily driver and backups. no did not ditch them haven't yet had a reason to The only time where i got very frustrated was random reboot issue that began with qts 4.4.1 but has long since been resolved. that event really tested my patience, but thkfully it was a rare incident that happened after many years of using a qnap (hope to never see that issue again )
for older models, would a ts-509 pro and a ts-653a work using truenas?
found ur post, interesting read. i'll probly keep track of it to see how it goes thx

omg... this is dissapointing to hear. my plans for eol status was to use truenas on the qnap, but now this..... so what now? do i have to resort to unraid if truenas won't work for the newer qnap models, or will that have the same issue? i'm also not a technical expert either on these thingspbrunnen wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:53 pm Just a word of caution to those wanting to use FreeNAS/TrueNAS on QNap hardware...

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?

I've tried it on a few (and you can see my posts -- same name on the TrueNAS community) but only the older models seem to work. Many of the newer QNap models use a Marvell 88SE1475 SATA interface chip which is not supported in the Linux or BSD mainline kernels. While I've found a copy of the mv14xx kernel module source on the QNap downloads (see the QXP-1600eS card) my attempts to use it have always ended in kernel panics. I'm not a kernel developer, so my ability to debug past this point is limited.

Some reports on TrueNAS forum indicate support for the 88SE9215

Re: Latest QNAP security cluster *** have you ditched QNAP?
Just out of curiosity, have you tried the latest alpha version of TrueNas Scale which is Debian based to see if they had support?pbrunnen wrote:Just a word of caution to those wanting to use FreeNAS/TrueNAS on QNap hardware...
