Wanna see how many devices are currently vulnerable to one specific exploit? They'll tell you, if it's under 500 devices. If it's over 500, you only get to see ">500". Wanna export some data? You can select 5 items, or you can select all items. Nothing in between. Can't generate a report from the data because there are too many lines(???). Want to just export all the raw data with no filters applied so you can deal with it in Excel instead like a sane person? Lol, you can't, the export just silently fails.

We just had a vendor demo this week for a replacement tool and it looked great and I am excited. I'm sure they are going to come back with pricing that we cannot afford and it is going to break my heart.

Have a look at intruder.io. Leverages the same tool and gives you a better understanding of your software\hardware posture. Basically, a nicer UI and easier to understand ways to correct actions.

This seems interesting but their pricing is outrageous. Their pricing slider maxes out at 3% of our total number of assets and their cheapest plan would cost us $265,000/yr at that rate lol. I'm sure we could negotiate some kind of volume discount but just deep sixing Tenable for something else would probably end up costing us a fraction of that. But I do appreciate the suggestion.

So this thing has been around a while, the last one I recall was ASUS. The fault is really Windows insanity, of course.

Basically, the BIOS advertises to windows "Hey why don't you run this binary as superuser without validating anything or prompting the user, please?" and Windows does it, with no way to disable. The idea is the motherboard mfg can provide a driver update launcher or that sort of thing. Which is what they were trying to do, but of course it's a horrible insecure piece of poo poo, as all motherboard 'updater' packages are.

It's not some hypervisor rootkit bullshit or anything. It notably only affects Windows because no other OS is stupid enough to do this poo poo.

I use it daily across multiple tenancies. Some still have access to the old workbenches. It does suck you can't see totals over 1000 at a glance anymore but you can still get the total if you export the data. Not sure what sort of data you're talking about with the 'select 5 or all items' thing, where are you running into that?

I'll have to confirm Monday but it should be Findings, grouping by Plugin? You can select 5 plugins to export, but if you select a 6th the Export button just disappears. It will reappear if you select everything. My coworker reached out to Tenable support on this, thinking something was wrong, and was told that was working as intended.

Weird, I'll have to check that myself. Not the sort of export I commonly do though. Tenable has a bunch of weird quirks that should probably be expected given how quickly they've acquired other companies and bolted their solutions onto their own. The worst one for me currently is that if you scan one asset using two methods that can't 'see' each other, that one asset uses two licenses.

Yes we're having that problem too and it creates hundreds to thousands of duplicates depending on how long we wait in between manual pruning sessions. Tenable has no fix for us.

And yes can confirm it happens in Findings when grouping by Plugin, but also by Asset. Doing an export of all data isn't an option as it just fails if I don't have at least a couple filters already applied. The network scanner and agents are fine, the interface is absolute garbage. Support also sucks!

Edit: have also just learned that with the new workbenches you can no longer do a word search for vulns when viewing an individual asset

Edit 2: nevermind its still there but you have to launch an entirely new tab to do it? and you have to create a search filter and none of the search operators is "contains"????

You can so a 'contains' search by using the 'is equal to' option and putting asterisks (wildcards) around your search term.

Yes but also you used to just be able to do a keyword search directly from the asset page that did not need to reload an entire asset's worth of data to perform. They have done a lot of work to consolidate the ways you can interact with data, and so far every single one is worse, and requires exponentially more work than what they took away.

Can any of you recommend an app control solution that isn't hot garbage? I need it to do some basic things.

1: A collective app inventory of all apps across workstations/hosts
2: A system of allow/deny list of app execution
3: decent macOS support

Shot in the dark, but chime in if you have recently worked with something.

App inventory is probably going to be a separate tool.

App control depends on what you want. Very strict control? Carbon Black App Control gets extremely specific, but has a pretty high overhead on the client. Just want to control elevation and blanket deny some apps? Beyond Trust can do that.

Mac is better left to Mac specific tools. There isn’t going to be any policy overlap because of the way endpoints handle privilege management and app execution, so don’t try for a ‘single console’.

You can check out Defender for Endpoint, it can do most of this. It can't deny list on Mac, at least last I checked, but I expect it will soonish.

I meant that from their description it's a vulnerability in their software which can be exploited to somehow make the thing persistent, it seems weird that whatever that vulnerability is can't be fixed without hardware replacement.

I'll be generous and assume that the system is so thoroughly compromised that the only way to ensure there's no bad actor remaining is to wipe and start over..

.. except that the factory restore partitions are also probably vulnerable to having been tampered with,
.. and there's no easy way to introduce a wipe/restore via any USB ports that may or may not exist.

So I'm imagining the only secure way to be sure you have a clean unit is to literally get sent a new one from the factory.

I'm making some strong assumptions about a device I've only ever seen in passing.

the groups compromising the hardware will have a better r&d team and more comprehensive tooling than barracuda do. there's times "get new hardware exist" as security measures and networking hardware is one of them

Intune/Defender365 for windows, Jamf or Kandji for macs. Intune is getting there for macos/iOS and honestly it'll probably be one of the best solutions for it pretty soon, but for now you need Apple specific solutions for apple specific problems.

it's weird but imo the features Microsoft has been bringing to Intune for apple systems are like, best in class or at parity, supported feature by supported feature. They're catching up but making sure they're quality when doing so.

Its a a cycle. The business decides they want to break free from draconian/slow processes to get apps on workstations so they loosen controls and let users install their own poo poo. This leads to employees not being able to have nice things as employees abuse this privilege by making bad decisions and or outright being malicious. Then the cycle of "we have to control what people are doing" comes back and the cycle begins again.

It took far longer than it should have for native OS-level methods of "elevate with approval/justification" to appear, and that combined with departments making software procurement choices without IT involvement has held back a lot of the efforts to run everything as a standard user account. Not sure you're ever going to fix the software procurement thing but at least IT can point at laws with gigantic fine potential behind them when pushing back on awful ideas.

It generally means that the attackers found a way to modify the device's baseboard management controller and/or the BIOS, so that even if you wipe the firmware entirely, the bad stuff just gets reinjected from the BMC.

I can’t remember if it was this thread or somewhere else, but I remember seeing people talk about a little pocket gadget in a small plastic case that had a little LCD, some buttons, a bunch of GPIO pins and did things like SWD/JTAG and maybe RFID cloning etc.

Apropos of literally absolutely nothing, does anyone remember what the hell it is I’m thinking of? It just popped into my head yesterday. I’m not looking to buy one or anything, I have plenty of hardware interfaces and don’t need a gimmicky pocket-able perimeter tester but at this point it’s just driving me nuts that I can’t recall this absolutely pointless (to me) gadget I came across in a thread on a forum.

Clearly I have nothing better to worry about.
