More annoyingly, sourceforge and github are blocked which means if I need to grab a tool hosted on those sites I have to use a clean laptop on the unfiltered visitor's wifi and transfer the files on a USB stick. Several other people bring a laptop and connect it to the visitor's wifi as well. As long as they're not bothering me about it or trying to hook them up to the corporate network (They can't anyway, thanks 802.1X) I don't give a poo poo. If they spend all their day browsing porn instead of working that's their manager's problem, not mine.

Monday fun! A coworker logged onto one of the servers that handle the smart locks for almost all doors and other lockable stuff in the municipality. The smart-lock vendor has time-limited VPN-access to that server for maintenance work but installed TeamViewer because obviously IT security is something you should try to get around. Apart from being an unlicensed version of TeamViewer (Personal use only..) it was logged in as a named tech from the company, and was displaying 40 other municipalities and educational institutions as online. After scratching his head for a few seconds my coworker thought "are they really this stupid?" and double-clicked on one of the largest municipalities in the country, and got control of their server, logged in as admin, with a stored TeamViewer password. He gathered ample evidence, logged off TeamViewer, uninstalled it, blocked all access to any account the vendor may have had access to, and is currently preparing a briefing for the City Manager, the head of the Technical department (who is responsible for locks), and the Legal department. We're also typing up a brief to send to the 40 other customers we saw on that list to warn them of the security breach. I guess we're looking for a new vendor now.  Edit: Just to calm people down if you're local: Servers like this are on their own "technical net" and not anywhere near any information of sensitive or personal nature (like SSNs, medical records, inspection records, and such) Crowley fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Sep 7, 2015 |

Holy poo poo talk about a very bad hole. Any evidence its been accessed outside of the predefined times then? And please please tell us how it turns out. That sounds like something that will destroy that company has it goes through legal channels. Not just from the loss of customers as that gets found out but from lawsuits from violating security and their contract.

Something about my webfilter at work is really weird about what got blocked on SA. The main webpage and forums are fine, but the JavaScript code that deals with forum features - such as the TIMG click to expand and shrink, the Star icon used to bookmark threads, etc - itself is blocked.

People who have a problem with their current arrangement should bootstrap themselves into a job with a pension like I did, and then take 2 months of vacation all at the same time like my managers do.

Roargasm posted:Cherry picking social media comments to write a narrative is insulting to everybody. I can't believe this is a thing Yeah, I work at a not small company, and my group actually gets dinged if each person doesn't a)take 2/3s of their alloted PTO in a year and b) There has to be at least one stretch of 3 consecutive days on PTO. Now, the enforcement is due to security policies for certain positions, but using PTO is strongly encouraged for all employees. We even have a whole section in the empoyee portal on how to maintain an healthy work-life balance. There's even been rumblings of stopping email delivery between 10pm to 5 am, but I think implementation would be tricky since there are a bunch of departments that are truly 24/7 operations. If the author had surveyed only people who work at companies with policies like mine, it would be a very different article. Cherry-picking is fun. That being said, even with what *I* view as a generous and encouraging PTO policy, my Euro colleagues still think we're all insane over workers. One of them said he thinks it boils down to in Europe there's more of vibe that you work to enable the life you want live, whereas in the US, you order your life around your work.

godfuckingDAMMIT Etheric. Etheric is a local ISP we use that does WiMax-type connections (don't think it's actually WiMax, I think they're using the Ubiquiti line of stuff, and they have towers on the hills nearby and just put up a dish to shoot to the towers). They're pretty much the only or at least one of the best options for "I need a connection right here in this parking lot tomorrow" where AT&T etc. will laugh and tell you "yeah we can be out in a month or two", but they have a nasty habit of loving things up randomly. To be fair, I don't think they gently caress things up any more than any other company, except when you're providing Internet connections it becomes really annoying and people remember it a lot more than if some website goes down for a few hours every other month. So yesterday our office connection went down, which is also is the connection for one of our clients in the same building. Since they're a very small client that doesn't do any work over the weekend and no one was in the office this wasn't a huge concern, but we obviously filed a ticket with Etheric asking them to check things out. They claimed they could reach the radio from their side and everything was fine etc. We don't have out of band monitoring for that office (nothing critical is in it) so without an Internet connection we couldn't tell if the network gear or UPS' were having problems or whatever, so I went over tonight to figure poo poo out since obviously it needs to be up and running tomorrow. After walking in to find everything humming away with no problems, and doing some quick pinging to make sure the network hadn't somehow borked itself, I consoled onto the switch that the Etheric connection feeds into (since we're piggybacking ourselves and our client over the same physical connection, the dish connection goes to a DMZ VLAN that the two ASAs "outside" interfaces then connect to). Did a shut/no shut to bounce the interface, flipped over to my continuous ping to outside, and saw that a couple pings outside had gone through and come back and then it had stopped connecting again. Flipped back to the console and what do I loving find? The switch has shut down the port because it loving received BPDUs. From a WAN connection. What the loving gently caress Etheric.  After staring at this for a couple flabberghasted seconds (and this was actually while being on a call with their tier 1, so I told this to the tech who clearly didn't know what the hell I was saying, and this after taking 10 minutes to find the case that had been opened a few hours before because apparently their system doesn't allow searching by case ID  ), I decided that the connection being up was more important than configuring the switch according to best practices, and set it to trunk instead of access, with native VLAN of our DMZ VLAN, and bounced the port again. At that point the switch helpfully told me of a native VLAN mismatch, and more importantly which VLAN number (i.e. Etheric's VLAN number) wasn't being matched, at which point I set the native VLAN to that number and the two access ports going to the two ASAs to that VLAN as well. So now our switch thinks it's part of Etheric's LAN, at least on those three ports (since this was a DMZ and there's firewalls between those ports and the internal stuff it's theoretically as secure as it had been before), but I mean poo poo's working, and that's what will matter tomorrow. And they definitely changed poo poo, since we didn't touch the switch config (last change on that switch was July and the connection's been fine until yesterday). Goddamn. Time for some loving Scotch.

Some users here have an Access "application" which retrieves data from a SQL Server and puts it in its own tables, then generates a report from that data. It never purges its tables so the file gets slower and slower to open as it grows, then about once every 6 months it breaks when the table gets larger than Access can handle. I told them we could just rebuild their report in SSRS instead but they opposed it because they didn't want to change the procedure on the whiteboard post-its they call documentation.

I have to RDP into another computer to use it, Access 2007. Basically it keeps track of what controller is installed in our products, and they decided to do it in a one-off Access database instead of any other way. Engineering wants a CSV dump of the table with the product serial numbers and the controller installed in the unit. No big deal. Except that 2/3 times Access freezes up at some point in the open file, export data, close file process. Ugh.
