  • That’s the actual wild part; using a simple (~$5) SOC to support a dynamic, remotely manageable, UI for an industrial appliance as in this case is reasonable. But dedicated a system per dispenser head is wild.

    I guess it could possibly be deemed to be worth it for an ‘industrial’ application like this as it could reduce per-head downtime if just one fails. But man, that’s a lot of silicon for such a task.



  • Me and my mother were looking into this because of a random discussion about dating systems and her time in the Navy; an interesting thing about the Julian calendar is that one of its date forms (ordinal) is still in somewhat-common use by the US military; just with the Gregorian leap days added in. So today’s date could be rendered as 25359 (2025 day #359).


  • Am an admin, funny thing about conditional access, we use various conditions but one is geolocation; we bar all logins outside of three countries relevant to our workers. We employed it mostly due to a continuous low-threat brute force campaign targeting a few exposed accounts that my data analysis had identified. In testing it out from Red Team’s perspective I quickly realized that conditional access will indeed prevent a login outside of the whitelisted countries, but it will gladly let the attacker know that the reason the login failed was due to conditional access and not an incorrect username/password. So all Red Team has to do is brute force the password and then VPN over to our country of operation and they’re in.




  • Small pedantic correction, but you can’t preface every command with sudo; only executables can be invoked with sudo as it can’t elevate your current shell. Naturally, the way to execute non-executables such as builtin routines as root is to just spawn into a root shell with sudo su.
