I don't work in IT but a ticket came in regardless from my sister. She got a new job and she received training documents from her manager to read that turn out to be encrypted and she didn't get the details to decrypt them. So instead of following my careful suggestion of e-mailing her manager back for help on opening those files, she instead sees this as an opportunity to prove that she can come up with a creative solution and find the documents somewhere random on the internet.

I'll be pouring one out for the IT personnel that'll be assisting her in the future.

If you want to do SSL inspection by MitM, the inspecting device needs to be able to decrypt and re-encrypt the data. Because the inspecting device doesn't generally have access to the private key to the certificate the originating server uses, the inspecting device needs to use a different certificate that looks like, but is not, the original certificate. Usually this certificate won't be signed by a commonly trusted authority (nobody would give you a cert for google.com if you aren't Google), so instead it's signed by a private authority. If the clients being MitM'ed for inspection don't trust this private root authority, the user gets the usual certificate warning about an untrusted chain. So you'd install your private root certificate on the internal clients via group policy. But the user will still be able to inspect the certificate chain on their client and see that it's not the regular root.
However if you as a user can set up certificate pinning or similar, while your machine is not being MitM'ed, your client would still warn you that it's the wrong certificate for the service.

Oh poo poo. Stuff is about to get exciting.

Just had a talk with HR. At 3:45 they are firing someone who is 'known to get verbal and or physical'. I can think of a couple people out in the production floor that would fit the description, but they all go home at 3:00, so it has to be someone from the office.

So here's the floor layout:

They are going to bring the person into the conference room to sit down and talk. At that point they want me to go out to the front desk (the IT office is right by the front desk), get the lady that sits out there, and bring her into the IT office and close the door. Then I have to make sure the mystery person doesn't 'escape' or something and walks straight out the front door after they fire him.

This is where you call the local police department and politely ask for someone to come visit if they have have someone to spare. Explain the past issues and the fear of this person being violent. At worst they say no.

If they do send someone, simply wait for the officer to get there and fire them then. Easy and done with.

so you have to shut the front desk person in your office and then you yourself wait at the front desk to tackle this crazy person if they bolt?

So are you going to tell the front desk person "Come with me if you want to live"?

Apparently they might yell at the front desk lady or sucker punch her or something I don't know

I don't know who the person is, they might be from her old department (she was in customer service until last week) so maybe they hate her or something.

Seriously, though, they expect you to be ready to tackle the possibly violent employee? gently caress that. Bring front desk lady in, lock her and yourself in, wait until the guy is out one way or another.
