I've had an aerohive AP take down a branch network, it went haywire and started spamming garbage that shut down the entire network.

I had lovely cameras that gives up networks. 3 of the same model, when I left the office security company still insisted it was us and had refused to replace even, even though we could swap the cameras and have them work. Just 3 of the 2 dozen broke spectacularly. Someone else on my team was handling that one, poorly, was a known issue for over a year.

Why don't you have the cameras on an isolated network anyway?

Probably the same or similar reasons that Target's externally accessible HVAC system was just plugged into the whole Target network with no isolation.

My camera was on an isolated network and I plugged it into a port that was supposed to be assigned to that vlan, which is why I was so loving baffled it crushed another isolated network for the wireless bridges. I figured the port was misconfigured as a mirror or had a high priority route assigned to it or something off the wall.

Looking at Jira+Confluence vs Salesforce Service Cloud. I really like the Service Cloud knowledgebase suggestion feature for agents when responding to tickets but drat if the pricing isn't steep. I like Jira but it doesn't lend itself towards internal documentation and assisting junior techs as much as trying to make the KB a self service resource, which we don't want. Our KB is pretty much 100% for internal reference. Anyone know of anything comparable in any other products? What's the consensus on best ticketing platform/KB around here?

Freshdesk integrates pretty well with jira and confluence to form a petty nice trifecta imo. Freshdesk for incident management, jira for issues and change management, and confluence for a tied in kb.

There was some fiber breakage with our market in canada in early morning yesterday, I come back tonight to learn a wolf got stuck in some pipe and was just chewing the fiber. They sent us a nice pic of wolf stuck, wish I could share it. Almost as good as the country folk shooting the aerial fiber out west.

Just 3 of the 2 dozen broke spectacularly. OH! we had super-Chinese cameras that did the same thing. For some reason, a few of them would randomly freeze up and somehow gently caress up the ARP tables on our HP Procurve switches. Looking at the traffic, all traffic ceased except ARP requests from the switch to whichever camera was hosed. Even though they were on their own VLAN the entire switch would still poo poo the bed and everything on that switch would stop. uPen posted:We had a VoIP fax machine that happily assigned bogus IPs to iPhones and nothing else. lol what the gently caress?

That poo poo is going code red all hands on deck serious all over. It uses a known (patched in march) SMB exploit to spread across networks. Unpatched systems anywhere on the network are vulnerable. And of course xp/2003 systems do not have the patch.

Has there been an absolute point before where XP / 2003 was specifically vulnerable to a major threat due to lack of patching? Is this finally the point where we can print a piece of paper, put it in somebody's hands, and say with absolute authority that XP / 2003 isn't good enough and they're simply not allowed to have it on any network?

Ubiquiti's outdoor wireless stuff used to occasionally cause packet storms on networks after nearby lightning strikes. I don't know if they ever figured out why, but SOMETHING connected to the ethernet port would cause garbage to start spamming over the network.

anthonypants posted:You're looking at this all wrong. Instead, have them look at the cost of upgrading from XP/2003, and then contrast that with the cost they'll pay for downtime, ransom payments, forensic investigations, "don't click on emails" training, and everything else consultants are going to bill them for over the next few months. Absolutely, always put the dollars in front of them. Also stress that in either scenario it's not an "if it happens" cost, it's a "when it happens" cost. They are guaranteed to be paying for one of those scenarios, why not chose the cheaper option while they still can.

Count my corp as one hit. Email comes in: "non-essential systems must shut down asap". Was playing MtG with a coworker in full view of management before I went on a run on company time. I will pour one out for SA/Ops when I get home.

I'm building the blocks for this at my work. Roughly 10% of the users of my product(s) are using XP/2003 systems today. There is rapidly coming a point where the price of their subscription won't cover the price of supporting their compromised systems. But as others say, it comes down to $$$. If I can prove that: We make $x in profit off each sale Each XP/2003 user costs $y in support And $y > $x Then I'll have a case for us stop selling to these users.

loving everything came in. Everything. Budget cuts, the termination of my assistant position, and approvals for a shitload of grants I applied for and was told I wasn't going to get. So not only am I going to be a one-man shop by the end of summer, but over the summer break I am going to be replacing every single computer, server, switch, Wi-Fi AP, projector, and SMART Board, but I am also installing an entirely new security camera and card reader system for the whole campus. And it's going to cost us, like, $10k total. I don't know how I managed this but I've got a feather a thousand stories high in my cap right now and all I feel is unrelenting guilt that I have to fire someone I just hired. Also, hearing all the money for projects we just became eligible for, the director immediately wants detailed lists of everything we are purchasing for the explicit purpose of trying to skim as much as possible for other departments and I can't decide whether to share the wealth or fight for what's mine.

If he does, report him if you can do so anonymously and in a way that doesn't point back at you. Alternatively, use every loving penny you are allocated. larchesdanrew posted:all I feel is unrelenting guilt that I have to fire someone I just hired. That sucks.
