Remove Developer Code Pt. III (console_sniffer)

[#1]

On 2012-02-29 I wrote an email to trademarks@wdc.com and PressRelations@wdc.com but never received a reply so I re-ask the questions here:
(console_sniffer is a program which stores all console input/output to (encrypted) logfiles)

"1. Part of all published firmwares for this device (and the Live Hub) is a script called 'console_upload.sh' which seems to upload encrypted logfiles to the FTP server ftpext2.wdc.com.
Why is Western Digital shipping such a script to consumers ?

2. Included in the afformended script is a username and password combination which allows access to the mentioned FTP server.
At a first glance the ftp server seems to be empty but if one changes to the '/WDTVLiveHub' directory some 80 subdirectories are accessible.
These subdirectories include mostly encrypted logfiles and other files. The creation of files and directories is possible."

It has come to my attention that the console_sniffer + console_upload.sh are still being shipped with the most recent firmware (1.09.10).
The console_sniffer program is running on the wdtv live smp and stores logfiles in /usrdata/app/console.

I urge you to remove this developer code portion from the next firmware release.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Blocked at the firewall (don't know if this will impact my firmware updates, though)
