I would be entirely unsurprising to learn that the bulk price of a WiFi+BT(LE) chip for use in IoT devices is likely low enough, that it's entirely possible that it does both and they're just not making use of it.

also most of the previous big FGT SSL-VPN vulns were for the web mode implementation which makes sense because like it's not even a VPN it's just web server with some auth and it proxies you to poo poo. in fact in earlier 7.4 releases they added big warning banners in the GUI advising how it is super hosed and in the newest 7.4 releases its been removed altogether.

ofc this new vuln affects the entire SSL-VPN daemon itself regardless of whether you're using web mode or just tunnel mode.

i guess everything's poo poo!

edit: also if you're not a complete scrub you'll be configuring your FGT to mitigate poo poo like this. make the SSL-VPN daemon listen on a loopback interface so you can put firewall policies with IPS in front of it and block connections from Tor/anon VPN services. oh and if you know that your users are only gonna access it in-country restrict connections based on geo-IP.

i havent been responsible for that stuff in a while so idk what else is out there these days. All i know is fortigate sucks to administer and forticlient sucks to use and manage.

its cool that official guidance is to run 4+ year old forticlient if you just want VPN because any newer version of forticlient will gently caress up your poo poo with corpo spyware.

I really liked the sophos UTMs we had like a million years ago. Their configuration system w/ reusable objects and stuff actually worked unlike the half-assed version of the same in the fortigates. sophos was full of vulnerabilities though cause under the hood it was a cobbled together pile of linux.

sounds like you have used it for quite some time, they've had a "VPN-only" version for ages now: https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads#vpn. forticlient in general has been rough but they've improved the poo poo outta it, especially since they're pushing towards ZTNA poo poo.

as for FGT sucking to administer maybe you haven't used it since like 4.0 or some poo poo. like honestly their web interface is one of the best ive ever used and it's miles better than any others.

a generic multiprotocol chip sounds plausible but wouldn't necessarily mean the toothbrush automatically jumps on wifi without the manufacturer knowing. wouldn't it have specific pins that have to be hooked up to something for wifi functionality? or receive a command to enable it when booting?

I think the current vpn only version is like 6.4 or something and it comes with a baseline of spyware. 6.0.10 is the newest you can get with just VPN and thats only if you have an old copy lying around. I dont care at all about whatever the gently caress ZTNA is or all the dogshit features listed under the main forticlient entry on that page. all i want is a fuckin vpn.

The last time i was doing admin was prob fortigate 6.x or something. Any time i'd have to setup a vpn tunnel it would take an hour cause the UI was so loving bad. IDR the details but i remember it being impossible to use existing network definitions for like remote and local ranges and/or having to specify the same cipher configs multiple times or something. And if you made a mistake half the time it would delete a bunch of your work. idk, it sucked rear end compared to something like the sophos UTMs where it was insanely easy and good to define all your poo poo and then just use it.

I guess its better than total dogshit like sonicwall or linksys or something, but its not good.

My TV is purposefully not connected via wired or WiFi, and the OS on my HTPC has Ethernet over HDMI disabled - and yet on the menu of the TV, occasional ads for new movies show up.
The TV is from 2015 or so, and hasn't received software updates since the last came out in 2018.

I assume every IoT devices just connects to open WiFi networks just for the fun of it.

There aren't any unsecured SSIDs near either of my own Omada access points, so I doubt the TV can see any either.

Also, it's not always that it can manage it, even when there are some - when I set up one with kismet in monitoring mode to do what Carthag Tuek said, I could only manage a single pcap that showed a device with a vendor identity matching Philips (who made the TV), and it wasn't anything that I'd consider proof (ie. it was a HTTPS connection, so who the gently caress knows).
Currently there's no ads, either.

As for this sort of thing happening, it's not exactly news that TV manufacturers gently caress around - only real difference is that Philips are using HTTPS.

Been there, done that. I'd need to somehow get a self-signed certificate onto the TV, then MITM the HTTPS connection on a laptop configured to act as a BSSID - and that's a more effort that I can be arsed to put in.

Nope, every update for the TV has been on a USB flash disk - specifically, a M.2 SSD in one of these.

Yeah, it's possible that the reason there's no ads there anymore, is that there's no servers to contact anymore.
I only ever notice it when I accidentally press the menu button instead of the instant record button.

i got a scale that reports my weight to some cloud thing, without me ever having configured WiFi. haven't bothered taking it apart but my guess is there's a SIM card in there. maybe the same w your tv?

I think that's what they do w those barnacle boots too, they could have sorted out the infrastructure end so it can only connect to a handful of hosts and have its data tightly capped

Did you set it up with your phone? It may have gotten the wifi settings from the phone during the setup process, or it could be syncing via Bluetooth through your phone. I have an old Withings scale that can do wifi and Bluetooth sync.
