R7-2016-01: Null Credential on Moxa NPort (CVE-2016-1529)

This advisory was written by the discoverer of the NPort issue, Joakim Kennedy of Rapid7, Inc.

One way of making legacy hardware more connectable is to use serial servers. The serial server acts as a bridge and allows serial devices to communicate over TCP/IP. The device then appears on the network as a normal network-connected device. This allows for remote
