When you install S7 miner without a firewall, router or something you should at least:
1. Change the UI password
2. Change the ssh password
3. Prohibit access to cgminers API (! this will keep out btcpool.loredo.tv or any other hack)

1. Change the UI password




2. Change the ssh password

Connect to S7 using ssh (default pass will be admin or root ):


Then type:


Now enter you new ssh password

3. Prohibit access to cgminers API

from ssh command line type:


Modify line (press i to enable modification in vi ):
"api-allow" : "W:0/0" to

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1"

(press ESC then :x to save the changes)

Then go back to UI and reboot the miner.
