Am I the only one who's had more problems getting hardware working in Windows than Linux in the last few years? I mean both are really good at this point, if you have a machine that resembles anything an OEM was shipping at the time development started for a given release you can usually assume all the core stuff will work out of the box and the majority of the rest will grab a usable driver from the internet when connected, but I occasionally have to USB over a network driver to a fresh Windows install. I've also had issues with older Intel GPU drivers on 32 bit Windows 10, but I'll happily chalk that up as one more reason to not run 32 bit Windows 10. I actually can't think of the last time I had a driver issue on Linux that wasn't related to a proprietary binary. Back in the day it was Broadcom WiFi requiring the Windows driver through NDISWrapper, now it's nVidia on all the newer cards where they refuse to let Nouveaux set clocks.-

Definitely not. Every piece of hardware I've ever tried has worked flawlessly on Windows. Even the demon boxes known as printers. Linux is a shitshow in comparison.

The Windows model of fetching from the internet is pretty good. I have problems with an older linux server where the network driver is deprecated out of the kernel and requires reinstall every time the kernel updates. I should probably get it into dkms or something so it reinstalls itself

Looks like Microsoft's SIEM, Sentinel, is leaving preview. Anyone using it? My new place is a disaster and I'm scrambling to put tools in place, so I had started sending data that way but haven't been playing with it much yet.

The Iron Rose posted:What's the actual usecase for 32bit Win 10 at this point anyways? That plus a user with local admin privileges accepting the Windows 10 upgrade and there you go. It doesn't actually need 32 bit, it just has it due to old policies combined with ignorance and/or indifference. So far I've encountered one situation in the last decade where the 32 bit OS was actually required, for one of my customers that maintains HVAC systems who needed to run software written for Windows 3.1. DOSBox does great with the oldest apps, but stuff from the Win16 era has issues, usually when accessing the parallel port. Windows 10 32 bit runs their software happily as long as it's elevated. Regarding Linux vs. Windows hardware support, I am talking about core system hardware, as in the kind of stuff that'd be built in to or bundled with a mainstream OEM system or alternatives in the same classes widely available at retail. Chipset, storage, graphics, networking, audio, etc. I have never had to manually load a storage driver during installation or ethernet driver after installation on Linux, where on Windows both of those were common until recently. I of course 100% agree that as far as obscure consumer gadgets or specialized business hardware goes, basically anything that doesn't fit in to one of those major classes is a crapshoot at best. If it depends on specialized userland software to be useful on Windows there's a good chance that there won't be any such software for Linux even if an appropriate driver for the hardware itself (often just generic USB HID or CDC) is available. wolrah fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Sep 26, 2019 |

Common?? Storage driver during installation? F6 and all that? RAID installs? Gotta say that doesn't fit with the rest of your argument. You're reaching. Find me a big pile of off the shelf Inspirons and Pavilions from, say, 2002 through today, and we'll be looking at a big pile of Windows clean installs that don't involve a pre-install driver (minus like one or two for the cool kid owners who'd made BIOS changes for the very relative few that actually supported software/non-HBA RAID). Hell, through some Optiplexes and ProDesks are the odds are about the same. Tapedump fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Sep 26, 2019 |

Tapedump posted:Common?? Storage driver during installation? F6 and all that? RAID installs? Honestly I buy it, at least for networking and storage. For enterprise windows operating system deployments, driver CABs, manual deployments, USB sticks with network drivers are all extremely common. I've had numerous cases where, for example, SCCM didn't properly pull storage/network/video card drivers from a share, or a base image didn't properly include the intel HD card's graphics and nobody notices till they try and connect to a meeting room. Now, you can make arguments about whether or not that's a Windows problem versus broader architectural issues or administration problems, but I've absolutely had to gently caress with drivers on Windows systems. I don't have nearly as much linux experience so I haven't chimed in on this conversation much... and all my *nix machines are in the cloud anyways where drivers are the last thing I have to deal with.

Tapedump posted:Common?? Storage driver during installation? F6 and all that? RAID installs? It felt like those complaints were more recent, but I just realized I'm old and have been doing this too long. For Vista and beyond it was just fancy high-end workstation/server disk controllers and lovely motherboard fakeraid crap. I guess now if one of the Windows 7 holdouts wants to boot from NVMe they'd need to load a driver during install, but the overlap between "still running Windows 7" and "owns NVMe SSDs" has to be pretty tiny. That said it's not unheard of for OEM machines that support a RAID mode to have the AHCI/RAID toggle locked out in the BIOS and stuck in RAID mode, in which case they will require drivers the same as anything else. Lenovo had some fits over a part of their Yoga line doing this a few years ago. Network drivers on the other hand I stand by the complaint. Until we stopped installing Windows 7 I had a folder of common network drivers on my "handy poo poo to have" USB drive because more often than not I'd need them. I didn't install Windows 8/8.1 enough to really get a feel for whether it changed there. Windows 10 is definitely a lot better but not perfect.

Is there a really basic SIEM program, which I could run in a VM or something that's free and doesn't require the knowledge that some of you guys have, in order to monitor my home network? I'm thinking of, like, a community edition of a full software suite that will just do basics like watching devices join and leave the network, WiFi access attempts, identification of commonplace interactions between certain devices versus interactions that are unusual etc. I'd like to receive email notifications for certain events but the software doesn't even need to access my Gmail account because I could just point it to a machine with Postfix set up, if necessary. I feel like I've put off bothering with monitoring my LAN for too long (although I did have a dabble with Nagios community edition a while ago) and it's time to add something, even if it's just simple. Heck, if there were something that is cheap enough, I'd probably pay $8 per month (or something less than ten) if it had something cool like an app I could put on my Android phone, then the monitoring software would be logged into my subscribed account. Then I could set up certain triggers for push notifications on the app on my phone. I gather that if I can imagine a setup like this in 5 minutes, then a product like this must exist, right?

I see a lot of articles saying NIST no longer recommends SMS auth, but I'm having a hard time finding the supporting documentation. None of the articles link anything directly, and https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html still lists SMS as a valid out of band method. Anyone have any links to a direct communication from NIST that talks about not using SMS?

A draft of 800-63B had deprecated SMS 2FA, but the subsequent final removed that part:quote:NIST now states that if authentication is used via SMS (out-of-band), ‘the verifier SHALL verify that the pre-registered telephone number being used is associated with a specific physical device. […] Verifiers SHOULD consider risk indicators such as device swap, SIM change, number porting, or other abnormal behavior before using the PSTN to deliver an out-of-band authentication secret.’ Basically, SMS 2FA is way better than no 2FA, and is still okay. If you have another form of 2FA like an authenticator app or token, absolutely prefer that, but SMS is still good to use given the above.
