lmao your company fucks up the entire org's security posture to save $200

or was this just for his account and the rest are still disabled?

well you can apply policies to groups in Duo but only if you're on the Duo Access or Duo Beyond plan and this account is on the Duo MFA plan. so i had to edit the fuckin global policy.

at least this Duo account isn't for our entire org, rather it's specfically for securing access via SSL-VPN and RDG to a single customer's AWS environment. ofc that customer happens to be a very sensitive state government department... :lol:

Running 8 threads (on an 8-thread E-2144G) of RDRAND in the background, memory throughput drops by *81%* with the patch vs unpatched (91% vs idle).

So if someone can spawn a bunch of RDRAND threads, they can drop your memory perf to 19% of what it would be, 9% of nominal.

i had to enable voice callback MFA for a single co-worker in a Duo account because the guy has a fuckin iPhone 5 in TYOOL 2020 which he can't install the app on. i deliberately disabled voice callback and SMS OTP in the account because they're less secure than push MFA smdh

that process is nearly 100% automated at this point, you just follow the directions on the screen of your new phone.

that reminds me, remember how there used to be companies whose service was basically just "if you need help with random trivia, call this number and we'll look it up for you! only a dollar a minute!"

it's a very particular artifact of that window of time in the mid-2000's where everyone had cell phones but they weren't internet-connected yet and that kinda poo poo is always fascinating to me idk

for the 2 or 3 times ive used my phone as a mobile hotspot thats what ive usually done too, plugging in iphone through usb just makes linux see a new ethernet device:

[ 8357.667535] ipheth 1-1:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached
[ 8357.670117] usbcore: registered new interface driver ipheth
[ 8357.678083] ipheth 1-1:4.2 enx16205e4ace42: renamed from eth0

a lot easier than messing with bluetooth for situations like "my password for this university expired and needs to be changed, and i cant get on the wifi to do that because my password is expired", or "im at a funeral and theres no wifi and i need to apt-get install some additional software to convert this wmv file to dvd format right now"

my grandmother in law passed away a few years ago, my wife and i went to the wake/funeral/whatever early to help set up, one of her cousins made a video tribute to her, the funeral home provided tvs with dvd players for this, and the cousin had thought "burning the video to dvd" was "making a data dvd containig the wmv file", no surprise that none of the dvd players understood it

both my wifes and my laptop were in the car, used mine to transcode to dvd format, made a quick trip to a store for some blank dvds, and used her 2011 mpb (back when they came with optical drives!) to burn a few copies that played on the tvs, i was glad i could be useful
