There's still a bunch of equipment out there with Flash interfaces that still need to be accessed. We just got this response from a vendor since we can no longer access a piece of equipment at work:

some tech support guy posted:

As this is an older product it took a little while to figure out how to access the radio. Here is what I am told:

"As work-around you can install an old flash, below you can find a link to download old version, I tried flashplayer32_0r0_37 and works ok, so uninstall adobe flash, install the old version and run it on FireFox (Disable automatic upgrades)."

Did we upgrade that piece of equipment? LOL, of course not! We uninstalled the latest version of Flash that is no longer supported and installed an even older version with known vulnerabilities! :downs:

so I thought Flash was supposed to be turned off for online applications but that you could still run Flash content locally. turns out that was a lie, I have a couple goofy animated screensavers from the days of yore (like a Halo:CE one that came bundled as a bonus with the GOTY edition on PC) that will still start up and show the splash screen, but just show the full-screen error the entire time. mildly disappointing. there's got to be a way to decompile the .scr and pull the video file from it though I just haven't cared to try that hard

Knowing absolutely gently caress all about the cyber how in the hell can a program that AFAIK is ONLY used for selfmade games a huge security risk? Bullshit, it's big java trying to force us to use bad other applications. If you need more security just proxy a firewall, can't be that hard. Put on your black hats developers, and get cracking!

Yeah it doesn't sound like the problem was Flash, rather it was the fact that people were using funny animation software for the backend of their bank or government website.

Required by his programming!
it was flash insofar as much like the java runtime, if it exists on your machine at all it can potentially be exploited. for a long while it came pre-packaged with a bunch of browsers so just having IE or firefox meant that there was a whole host of security vulnerabilities your computer had even if you had never looked at a funny animation.

Deactivation of Flash may have crippled Chinese railroad for a day

quote:

...

Officials at China Railway Shenyang use Flash-based software to plan each day's railroad operations. As a result of the outage, Apple Daily says, "staffers were reportedly unable to view train operation diagrams, formulate train sequencing schedules, and arrange shunting plans."

As a result, the railroad was unable to dispatch its trains, "leading to a complete shutdown of its railroads in Dalian, Liaoning province," according to Apple Daily.

After a day of chaos, the railroad found a solution: it reverted to an older version of Flash without the self-deactivating code. The railroad installed it early on the morning of January 13, allowing operations to resume.
