#CVE-2024-20356: #Jailbreaking a #Cisco appliance to run #DOOM

In this adventure, the Cisco #C195 device family was jailbroken in order to run unintended code. This includes the discovery of a vulnerability in the #CIMC body management controller which affects a range of different devices, whereby an authenticated high privilege user can obtain underlying root access to the server’s #BMC (CVE-2024-20356) which in itself has high-level access to various other components in the system. The end goal was to run DOOM – if a smart fridge can do it, why not Cisco?

My #ISP has been cranking up the #network speed recently. Over the past few weeks, my decrepit old #router couldn't handle it any longer and kept dropping the connection and then resetting. It was very frustrating. Happily, they've sent a new one and things are back up and the connection is looking solid again, with the added bonus that the speed is nearly three times as much I had been getting previously.

#TruthSocial faces harsh reality as a public #company

source: https://www.axios.com/2024/03/27/truth-social-stock-facebook-twitter-ipo

Truth Social — the #Trump - owned social #media platform that started trading yesterday — currently has far fewer users and less income than any social #network that has gone public before.

For now, Truth is trading like a #meme #stock, meaning its market value is completely divorced from its financial reality.

My experience with #ZeroTrust in the IT #industry.

Source: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/how-to-apply-zero-trust-to-your-active-directory/

After my company switched to Zero Trust, I received an email with instructions and that I should print out the telephone list from the intranet in case of an #emergency. But I didn't had access to the list. So I opened a ticket. The #support sent me the list by email. When I asked, if this is how it should work now, that I can't access even the simplest documents. The answer was that I can request them via support. Zero Trust therefore means that you only have access to your own documents, and perhaps those of the project team. It's a mad world with a lot of security theatre and snake oil.

Cult of the Dead Cow has released #Veilid: A secure peer-to-peer #network for apps that flips off the #surveillance economy

The idea being here that apps – #mobile, #desktop, #web, and headless – can find and talk to each other across the #internet privately and securely without having to go through centralized and often corporate-owned systems. Veilid provides code for app developers to drop into their #software so that their clients can join and communicate in a peer-to-peer #community.
