He means the tv board thing is plugged directly into the modem, which means it's not behind their firewall, which means their firewall is fine, the customer is the idiot that put the device directly onto the internet, also they had anonymous admin access available to said thing on the internet.

Have some before/after. I had to replace a couple of line cards in a switch and the cabling gave me cancer, so I fixed it.

Two new high level executives are starting tomorrow. The COO has been getting antsy because the both left very important positions at real companies to join our shitshow. They don't realize yet that they've been conned. Anyway, I have all their tech equipment in place. Bill has done his part by making sure one office has an old chair that is missing all but one caster, and the chair in the other office looks like someone was sitting on it when they gave birth.  EDIT: ^^^^ You need to velcro those four power cords together so they can efficiently be yanked out at the same time by accident.

I expect Bill will be triggered into a last minute frenzy to get better chairs, probably by taking them from less important people.

Keyboards are cheap, even on a laptop. I had gently caress-all of a budget at my last gig, and I still made sure all new hires got brand new keyboards and mice at a bare minimum. I wouldn't want to touch a used (to the point the letters are wearing off) keyboard, so I'm not gonna make other people do it either. When I started my new job ~3 months ago, I got a chair with a dead air cylinder on day one, which really pissed me off. I complained and got a brand new chair by day 3, but it certainly is not a good way to make a first impression and made me have some doubts about my decision right off the bat.

Kurieg posted:I picked up the first season of CSI:Cyber super cheap and was watching it just to laugh at everything that was so hilariously wrong. My favorite was their visual depiction of tracking traffic through the deep web as if the deep web were a physical place below the internet, indicated by big scary red glowing letters that said DEEP WEB. Season 2 gets hilariously terrible, because you can always see the exact moment in each episode they write themselves into a corner and contrive bullshit for a solution.

You guys should watch Scorpion. There's 3 or 4 seasons on Netflix and it's the ultimate relaxing tech bullshit show. Most episodes are just your average detective show but sometimes they ramp up the action to ridiculous heights. Like in the pilot where they fix a low-flying airplane from a speeding Lambo, or somewhere in season 2 where they fix a NASA rocket literal seconds before it takes off. Good stuff.

Good stuff. gently caress no Even if you look past all the tech bullshit, it's about how ultraintelligent people cannot relate to the normal world, but one of them is a normal person with an ultraintelligent child, so they help her understand his life, and in return she translates the normal world for them. Imagine everything bad that people say about Big Bang Theory and nerd blackface, and it's thousands of times worse for this show.

Mr Robot is great. It's one of the few series I've seen in a long time where I haven't been able to predict the plot reveals. The big plot twist in Season 1 was such an "oh poo poo it all makes sense now" moment.

Don't those run with the user's privileges? Can't they access/see anything the user can see, including taking a screenshot of the user's desktop?

The fact that it's easy to program doesn't really change the threat model, since if you're at the point where malicious software is installed as a program on an endpoint then it's compromised anyways. Proper remediation for this is software restriction policies and removing local administrator from your users.

I felt that if something was privacy sandboxed, it shouldn't be able to see anything outside the sandbox, including via screen capture. It never actually occurred to me the default screen capture would just be accessible by a program.
