I've been reading the monthly security bulletin from sans.org for
several years. During that time I've noticed some recurring themes,
including multiple appearances from Adobe products like Flash.
Another recurring theme is ftp servers (of which there are dozens)

Hi
This device is a 2GB USB MP3 player, and is detected by the kernel as having
no partition; it is VFAT formated, it is not automatically detected by KDE,
