A ticket came in: creator: Please open ICMP from networkA to networkC, also we want access from networkB to networkC. me: Ok, ICMP open from A and B to C creator: Ok well that works, but we really wanted 443 from B to C, the discussion about it is what spawned this ticket me: no where in the ticket did 443 come up and I was not involved in your discussion, what the gently caress do you actually want. From now on, I am going to kick tickets back to people and require a source, destination and port for each rule they want since being obtuse is our SOCs modus operandi

I wish there was more common sense among IT security with regards to usability. My company's current requirements are minimum 14 characters, 6 of which must be numbers or symbols, it must not contain a word in the English dictionary, excludes common place names and must not resemble to a certain (unknown to me) degree any of your previous 10 passwords. Passwords are reset on a bi monthly schedule. Also when I say that words are excluded, I mean that if any part of the password could be picked out as an English word, it rejects it. "Greengrassgrows" would be rejected for including English words. This scheme applies to several thousand people, many of whom need to use the computer intermittently and most of whom have just a high school education from some time back in the 70s or 80s. I pity our help desk.

Our password reset tool went from resetting passwords to a standard default, and forcing the user to change it at next login, to assigning a random password and forcing a change next login. It's not a bad idea, but have you ever tried to get an eighty year old lady to type in hats#buck4 over the phone? The wailing from helpdesk can be heard across the building.

We have an SSO system in place that requires you to change your password at a particular website. Windows gives no fucks of course and if you change the password in Windows instead of on the website everything loving breaks.

At least your help desk can see the new temporary password! Ours can't. Of course this is the same system that will allow you to keep the same password forever, as long as you don't change it and allows access to PHI. Whereas the work computers require a password change every 3 months AND have 2FA anyway..

I died a little inside when I was trying to get someone in their early twenties to login with a password like that "Ok it's 1 2 3 hash a b c" "It's not working" *remote on and type it in myself since she has to change it on login anyway, press button to show password to check* "Oh a hashtag, why didn't you just say that?"

After hearing people my age say "Hashtag $bullshit" I have thought about going around saying "Pound sign $bullshit." I'm not going to do it because I'm not that much of a goon, but stop making me feel old, other 20-somethings. I also hate mobile devices and how everything wants an account now, but that's justified.

I dug deeper into this rabbit hole and discovered that while the most commonly accepted use of "bi-" in this context is "every other," pretty much everyone appears to agree that "biannual" means the same thing as "semiannual" -- occurring twice per year -- and the correct word for "occurring every other year" is "biennial." I have no idea why this single use case should be different. Usually I regard poor usage skills from adults as a nontrivial personal failing, but this one is utterly baffling to me.
