to contrast in a rare work un-sec fuckup ive managed to get my good reference schannel config into the VM template used for server builds so now all our new servers will get an A on ssl labs out of the box.

thanks to BangersInMyKnickers for the inspiration and the good posts re schannel config on windows.

np, glad people can make use of it


now if my lovely contractor would upgrade this garbage oracle/apache/openssl .9.8 stack that can only handle tls 1.0/3des with a million CVEs my qualys scans will stop coming back as hot garbage too

i have a grey that doesn't get why teamviewer is idiotic

Samizdata posted:

I personally prefer TeamViewer. Easy to use, multiplatform, bandwidth friendly and requires 2FA when needed.

OSI bean dip posted:

TeamViewer is a terrible piece of software to suggest. By installing the application you're allowing a third-party server to control access to your PC and the 2FA is only good enough in verifying that the access is being done by you and not someone else using the same credentials. This however does not protect you from attacks via vulnerabilities and whatnot found within their infrastructure. There is a lot of speculation that TeamViewer wasn't forthcoming on how people got breached.

Samizdata posted:

You seem pretty determined you know everything, so I wonder why you even started the thread.

yes. let's have a third party service provide access to my desktop because it's secured by 2fa

he seems to think that 2fa is new in teamviewer too when it has been around for at least four years now

teamviewer is the only thing i have ever asked to have blocked on our application firewall because of the way it pretty much violates our access control methods

i tried teamviewer for a week so i could use my compy from work without too much pain, but i kept coming home to find my computer awake, logged in, with the teamviewer control panel open and flattened the whole thing posthaste.

yeah, i use parallels access and gently caress if i'm ever changing. it is so loving convenient and i haven't heard of any breaches yet. still requires local passwords when actually connecting, too, though how that's actually enforced is an unknown

are you trying to do your usual thing where you talk about a non-microsoft product as being a piece of poo poo? because openssh is fine

openssh has had plenty of vulnerabilities in the past and the idea you're presenting that because its linux its immune to attacks is absolutely retarded. You should use as much caution approaching access via openssh as you should access via teamviewer. same with rdp. I would never leave it open to the internet even if it is more secure than openssh.

also lol @ the idea that you're gonna have a remote user setup an ssh tunnel to you so you can access their machine.

the benefit of teamviewer is the lack of user knowledge required. SSH requires an autistic to use. teamviewer requires someone who can go to a website, type in a number, and click a button.

if you're external users are all autistics then ssh is probably an appropriate choice but they also can probably figure out their problems themselves.

you're just as loving dumb as the grey poster, shaggar. did you even read what my response was?

OSI bean dip posted:

Besides, it does not matter if you have 2FA enabled or not, it won't matter if somehow TeamViewer's own infrastructure is breached. What does the 2FA do for you when either the software is compromised or someone takes hold of one of their systems and then starts to go hog wild?

this is irrelevant to your dumbass points about openssh and its vulnerabilities. it's not like rdp hasn't had any?

what are you talking about. we're talking about remote assistance. this is for when the user is outside of the network and needs assistance, meaning they cant get into the network. are you going to walk them through setting up an ssh tunnel to you? seriously?

Maybe you don't understand the problem scope here so lets walk through it. You have a remote user who is having problems and cant get into your network but they do have internet access. You don't want to just leave ports open on their machine and there are probably firewalls between you that you don't control anyway so you need a way to control their computer from outside of your network. The user doesn't know anything about computers. They're a normal human being. You need to provide them with a way to give you remote access with as little effort on their part as possible. So what are your options.

Windows remote assistance is supposed to exactly fulfill this mission, but it never loving works. its also windows specific. what if this person is using a linux like osx?

How about something like GoToMeeting? This actually works pretty well, but it means your user needs to be able to operate the presenter controls within GoToMeeting which is a tall ask.

This is the void that teamviewer fills. its like GoToMeeting/webex but they don't need to understand how to work the presenter controls. They go to a website and type in a thing and join the "meeting" and you fix their poo poo and then they close the "meeting".
