  • by MACs do you mean the inbound outbound rules? Password authentification is set to 'yes' on the config file, but no i haven't checked the auth.log yet. will try those. I tried to nmap but got a notification saying that it doesn't work properly on windows linux subsystem and to do a native install. Will try the other steps first. thanks Commented Dec 7, 2020 at 8:06
  • MAC= Massage Authentication Code. MD5, SHA-1 is considered as broken and should not be used anymore. Better example: MACs [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,[email protected] Commented Dec 7, 2020 at 14:13
  • And about that password auth should not be used is just nonesense. Noone will ever try to bruteforce a secure password. Well known passwords might be used by scans of bots. That's it. Don't believe me? Setup a honeypot and check yourself Commented Dec 7, 2020 at 14:21
