hey if you ever wanna know what "cloud stuff" is happening behind the scenes at some orgs, foone's thread here is a great example of how horrific it can be, and why just blindly trusting companies with your data, or allowing them to record you is a bad idea
@neurovagrant oh dont worry, jenkem, krokodil, pureed aesbestos and just straight up spraypaint are still available.
@Viss Well, you know what they say... The Cloud is just someone else's NUC.
... And bash scripts. Lots of bash scripts.
@jawnsy honestly i would be impressed if it was bash. it always seems to be fucking nodejs
@morb i have a switch i found on the ground at a building abandoned by a military contractor here in town i need to dump configs from. i expect itll be the same
@Viss a few years back I picked up a cisco pix (the old 486 one) from a thrift shop for like $2, managed to tftp off running-config; its prior life was a vpn endpoint for a lawyer's office
@morb i dont think ive ever gotten my hands on used networking gear that was wiped
@Viss what got me was it was managed by a somewhat larger business IT services firm in Oregon
either the lawyers got rid of it or the IT firm failed when they donated it for a writeoff
and yeah, whenever I get second hand gear from a reseller they usually do their thing and at least factory reset; everything else is going to be nopesville
@morb the customer im writing a report for now has an outsourced it firm and theyre pretty bad. default creds everywhere, flat networks, the works. im assuming this is just par for the course these days
