Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including processor executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: initiating, by a backbone server, execution of a first scanning program to perform a web level scan of a set-top-box control panel application program; initiating execution of a second scanning program to perform an operating system level scan of the set-top-box control panel application program; initiating, by the backbone server, a third scanning program to remotely scan a third application program that relates to a component management system of a digital subscriber line modem; invoking, by the backbone server, a program to compare security vulnerabilities identified by the first scanning program with security vulnerabilities identified by the second scanning program; running the first and second scanning programs against a second application program that provides Internet content to a set-top-box device; running the first and second scanning program against a third application program configured to provide the component management system; and combining security vulnerabilities identified utilizing the first, second, and third scanning programs; wherein the first scanning program accesses the set-top-box via a broadband connection to a residential gateway locally coupled to the set-top-box.
