The only authentication needed to sync a folder is access to the shared secret. What protects against a brute force attack on these hashes? If you didn't care about which folder you pulled down, couldn't an attacker poll random hashes? Obviously the device would be visible to the other devices, and it would take some time to run through the space - but that seems to be just a matter of time and current tech. |
