tbf, this sounds like a plugin doing something absurdly stupid, like using hardcoded or trivially predictable admin credentials for remote admin

I have a thing for courageous dongles

Is there some sane place in the registry where you can pull the full build number for windows? HKLM\Software\Windows NT\Current Version doesn't give the hotfix # and the place I can seem to find it is buried in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Update\TargetingInfo\Installed\Client.OS.rs2.amd64 which feels sketchy as gently caress and I'm not confident all the various major win10 releases use it consistently

does it need to be in the registry or can you get it from like wmi?

registry only, unfortunately. I'm doing it with some janky ladder logic that's included in the SEP client because this garbage AV has twice the deployment base of our loving sccm platform

e: MAYBE I could have it fire off a wmi cli command to have it write the full build info to a reg key I specify and then query it from that. Would be completely stupid but that's life for you

if you created your own key hierarchy for that kind of thing it wouldn't be the worst. you could have a gpo write a bunch of diagnostic type info to your place in the registry and use that for filtering or w/e SEP does.

ReleaseId, currentbuild, and UBR under currentversion seem to be consistent w/ whats in winver on a couple comps I checked. if you cant do stuff based on the combination of those then its probably not useful

spotify facebook auth is some weird poo poo. i used to use it as holdover from the dumb times when they required it, and someone was able to use my account repeatedly, despite me logging out all devices several times and confirming that nothing that wasn't me had logged into my facebook account.

no idea how that would happen, but thankfully they let you remove the facebook link now

I was actually pleasantly surprised at how quickly the agency I work for responded. They sent out the "save your poo poo" warning email at 6PM ET on Tuesday then pushed the patch at midnight. Nice to see they prioritize security over a bunch of people possibly losing open work because they had already left for the day.
meanwhile, our security team has said nothing and are waiting until Tuesday to push it out like they normally do. not like .edu domains are valuable targets or anything.

There was a talk I watched like 12 years ago about how a lot of porn producers were so freaked out over being accused of underage performers that they did stupid poo poo like have driver's license scans available on their website or in similarly insecure places. I'm not shocked that stupid things are still being done with performer PII in lazy attempts to protect producers.

There was a guy who went to court on child porn charges for having material of a woman who looked underage. The defense subpoenaed the actress' passport to prove his innocence.

she actually showed up in court with proof of her age

had she not done that, the guy would have gone to prison based solely on the testimony of some random pediatrician who incorrectly swore that she was underage
