Most likely.

I know of a couple devices that do allow easy break out (as a matter of design) to the underlying OS the appliance runs on, but for the most part your Cisco/Juniper/Extreme switches won't generally be susceptible to Meltdown or Spectre without something worse being wrong.

This makes sense since it's really just a bunch of interrelated applications running on top of <open source OS>. Most IDS/IPS (and some firewalls) are likely similar.

The stuff I saw from PA today was an emergency content update with new vulnerability signatures for:

We're rolling out ServiceNow this year. Luckily they're not planning on trying to migrate the old ticketing system into it, just going with a fresh start. We've hired an admin for it and brought in some company to roll it out for us, so hopefully they're doing it right.

A ticket came in:

Customer states that the firewall we manage has been breached and they have been hacked. Their timer board is showing "Glory to Ukraine, Death to USA".

Investigation reveals that they have the thing plugged straight into their modem and a public IP assigned to it. Further investigation reveals that no credentials are required to login and modify it.

After explaining this to the customer, the only reply we get is "thx".

Found out today that the IFS share on the AS400 is using SMB1. I found that out because SMB1 stopped working on Windows 10 without manually re-enabling it.

For good reason, in case you're not familiar. Look up wannacry.

It's really nice to have a "permanent" power supply that just lives at your desk, so I think it's perfectly reasonable for users who actually work at home to want another one to leave there.

Correct. I managed to snag a third one for traveling, but that was far less important than one I could leave at home.

I don't care what IM program we use anymore, I just want the entire company on it.

Seriously, the fragmenting of communication channels is killing me. We got MatterMost and Slack and Confluence and Teams and SfB and email and phone and some fuckhead wandering by my desk, all at the same time. Hopefully they'll kill SfB and move everyone to Teams, soon, because SfB is horrific.

Yeah, I will agree that Teams is a huge improvement over SfB.

Super Soaker Party! posted:

A new phone came in. And while I'm overjoyed at having something that doesn't take three seconds to launch an app, I have a decision to make. Should I continue to use the long-deprecated, no longer patched, and 2004-era-graphic-design Touchdown for work email, or should I join the 2010s?

My general problem is that I have a lot of folders (yeah I still do the folder/rules thing sorry if you're inbox zero but it just doesn't work for my brain), and the last time I tried it, Outlook Mobile STILL didn't sync subfolders on its own - you had to click on the folder to see if there were new messages in there. Whereas Touchdown, as ancient and decrepit as it is, would show me new messages from all folders without fail. (Also I spent $20 on it in like 2011 so I mean I gotta get my money's worth that's an expensive app!)

Are there any Exchange Android clients that will reliably sync folders? Or has Outlook Mobile been fixed so it will? What do you guys use for mobile mail?

I use Nine, it works great for me. You can be selective about which folders to sync or just do all of them.

Well... It is doable, but not easy at all. Depends very much on the context. If you work somewhere where people speak Finnish all the time and have a Finnish family it will take at least years. If not, more. But quite literally almost everyone and their mother speaks English.

Not going to lie, my GF and I have talked a fair bit about moving to Finland or Norway. I have an infosec background and she's an accountant, so we're hopeful that would transfer well enough. Language is one of the bigger concerns. Certainly not averse to picking up the local language, just realistic about getting older and not learning languages as well anymore

I thought that MAC were unique? A part of it is the manufacturer and the rest can be compared to the serial number?

Each individual Ethernet interface on a Palo Alto firewall (of the same model at least) will have the same MAC address as other PAN fws. Eth1/1 on FW1 will have the same MAC address as eth1/1 on fw2. Usually not a problem, unless you�re connecting them over, say, a point to point link. You can fix it by putting them different HA groups, which slightly changes the MAC address.
