Security Evaluation

1. Device Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Known hardware tampering Very common [1] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Physical interfaces and recovery controls are documented.
Known vulnerabilities Very common 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Official TOS6 x86 release notes acknowledge a file-sharing security fix. Exact affected builds and model applicability still require confirmation.
Prior attacks Very common 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. No model-matched evidence of involvement in prior IoT attacks was established. Platform incidents or vulnerability demonstrations do not determine this score.
Updatability Rare [2] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. TOS6 supports daily update checks and manual package updates. Model-compatible stable releases must be selected separately.
Category Score Score: 3 / 3

2. System Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Authentication with other systems No 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Directory and service-authentication options are documented; authentication coverage varies with enabled services and integrations.
Communications No encryption [3] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. HTTPS, SFTP and certificate management are supported, while unencrypted services are also available. Define the enabled channels before scoring.
Storage No encryption 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. Device-flash encryption remains unverified. Data-folder encryption, encrypted backups or firmware-package flags are insufficient evidence for this field.
Category Score Score: 3 / 3

3. User Authentication

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Account management Full 🔗 Proof Documented capability; CRIS 1. TOS6 supports ordinary-user creation, permissions, removal and password management; the initialization super-administrator cannot be deleted.
Authentication Basic 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. TOS6 offers optional OTP and email-verified recovery. Mandatory MFA coverage across all management paths has not been established.
Brute-force protection Absent [4] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 3/3; candidates {1,2,3}. Not a demonstrated finding. TOS6 provides configurable failed-login blocking; SSH/Telnet also documents three consecutive failures followed by a two-minute block.
Event logging Partial logging [5] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. The TOS 6 log page documents service categories and export, not universal login auditing.
Passwords Require change after setup [6] 🔗 Proof PROVISIONAL ASSUMPTION 2/3; candidates {1,2}. Not a demonstrated finding. Initialization creates an administrator password. TOS6 documents default length and character-class rules, which can be reconfigured.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3

PROVISIONAL CONSERVATIVE SCENARIO — NOT CONFIRMED DEVICE DEFECTS. Unknown items use the upper-bound score by submitter request. The letter grade below is temporary, subject to further evidence and administrator review.


Provisional assessment — not administrator approved

Conservative provisional rating: D; GRAS 8/9.

This is an explicitly assumed upper-bound document-review scenario, not a confirmed dangerousness finding or an administrator-approved classification. On 25 October 2026 the submitter authorized selecting the highest evidence-consistent candidate score for each criterion. A completely unknown item is temporarily scored 3. The selected labels such as Very common, No encryption, No authentication or Absent do NOT establish that those conditions were observed. Unknown is not evidence of absence.

No physical device, installed firmware or actual configuration was inspected. Missing optional hardware parameters remain blank. Administrator-only classification date and calculator-version fields have not been set. The official classification may remain blank until administrator approval.

Scope

原厂TOS系统;这是Pro款,普通F4-424官方为Intel N95。两者须分别处理;磁盘容量不是固有闪存容量。

Calculation

Using the published methodology: ceil(mean of Device 4 criteria)) + ceil(mean of System 3 criteria)) + ceil(mean of User 5 criteria)).

  • Device CATS: 3
  • System CATS: 3
  • User CATS: 2
  • GRAS: 8; provisional grade: D
  • Evidence-consistent outer range before selecting the conservative scenario: 3–8, candidate grades A+ / A / A- / B / C / D. This is an uncertainty envelope, not a statistical confidence interval.
