and the string that i have given u is altered

i am not that stupid buddy

[clear jackal]

I'm not your buddy

[bold sierra]

i am just asking if anyone have experience in the pii disclosure so that i can confirm the vuln.

[clear jackal]

If you think you have found something to disclose, report it through the appropriate channels according to the bounty

[umbral bay]

Let's keep it civil and not disclose potential sensitive information. 🙂

[bold sierra]

I am not sure that it is a vuln. as i dont know even if i am look at it right. As i have no experience with such PII disclosure so that why i need to confirm if it is there or not.

[clear jackal]

Report it. It's likely not in scope for you to determine whether the data is legitimate or not.

[bold sierra]

I know buddy and have not told u anything related to the organisation and the original string that is involved

[clear jackal]

There is no harm in reporting something that turns out to be a false flag.

[umbral bay]

If you are not sure the safest is to disclose nothing and report it properly.

[bold sierra]

ok

Thanks for the help

I just have to look more into it and see if i can get it.

[flint wolf]

Sometimes they have a history of reports, I know hacker one does, you may be able to see if someone has already submitted something similar

Then you know if it's bounty worthy or not, been a while since I had time to get on the site tho

[bold sierra]

Thanks for the help @flint wolf now that is some kind of help i would like to get if i am asking , reporting too early might be a loss on my end but not for them. I am not saying that i won't but reporting too early would do me no good.

[twin ridge]

Hello guys,
I need a hand. I am trying to retrieve a file from website by suing telnet (room --> Protocols and Servers) . but I don't get access. have look with the attached picture

[coarse moth]

please only use #room-help for this questions

[errant fossil]

Morning

[tawdry bramble]

moring bro

[solar echo]

Hello.

General debate question: when do you think it's okay to call yourself a "hacker"?

[errant fossil]

i find it a bit cringe nowadays cause everyone calls themselves that even when they just learned inspect element

[solar echo]

The question is not about what everyone calls themselves, but when you find it okay for you to call yourself that.

It's an inwards-directed question, not an outwardly one.

[errant fossil]

Oh Alr, Mb (to answer that question- probably when you can hack things, devices, etc.)

[solar echo]

I found a Google Dork of a CCTV camera of a factory within the arctic circle at age 6. Was I a hacker then?

I just recently learned that what I did was... indeed "something" in the community, but I find it too much for too little.

[errant fossil]

Was it gaining unauthorised access to data, if yes then its hacking

[solar echo]

I still don't call myself that and have worked with intl' intelligence agencies and started an investigation recently alongside them.

I don't think I will ever call myself a hacker. I have been pondering this because of the title I recently got from reaching level 8 on THM.

A weird one, yeah.

I like loosing up the terms that are looked upon so highly or are taboo-ish. This is a great perception of this.

[tulip heath]

[oak pasture]

what kind of stuff

it's important...

[sage wolf]

bones

[worn thorn]

bones are one of them

[autumn solar]

I believe one thing that differentiates a hacker from someone else is a drive to learn about anything and everything, a curiosity that doesn't need to have its hand held. If you're reading RFCs and NIST publications for fun you're probably more "there" in my estimation.

One of the major signs that you know subject matter inside and out in life, and this holds true for any field of study not just anything IT related, is when you can successfully explain what you're doing to a lay person in words they'll understand.

As an example, using a "three little pigs" analogy with a 50+ year old television and film producer to communicate the protection a virtual machine might offer.

[finite rock]

[naive violet]

Hacking is a mindset IMO
I design, build, and fix electronics as well as being a pentester for my day job
I really enjoy understanding how things work and how complicated systems fit together. Electronic, mechanical, software, or even human systems (like people and processes)

[junior wraith]

This yes. I only focus on software and networking though

[naive violet]

The field is like 100 miles wide and you can go super deep into any topic, which I also really like

I've picked up a lot of hardware hacking, some ICS/SCADA stuff, infra, webapp

So many different areas

[junior wraith]

its awesome the amount of stuff to learn and the depth you can go to

what do you do with hardware hacking?

[shadow plover]

Hi, I just completed the Jr. Penetration Tester path. I'm wondering whether I should now pursue the Offensive Penetration Testing path or the Red Teaming path. Which one should I start with?

[simple valve]

crowdstrike massive bsod

this is why EDRs are bad /s

[rapid merlin]

I think offensive pentesting

[shadow plover]

ok thanks

[rapid merlin]

Good morning btw

How yall doin

[junior wraith]

also windows servers?

that would be a disaster where I work

[pallid lotus]

Yep

[rapid merlin]

Dayum yeah

[pallid lotus]

I know several orgs where most of their estate is currently on fire

[rapid merlin]

Everything, they even dont boot anymore

[pallid lotus]

It's... Gonna be interesting

Just gotta hope that it checks for updates before hitting whichever condition triggers the BSOD

[rapid merlin]

Im afraid not

oh lol they found a workaround

[pallid lotus]

Has that been confirmed?

[rapid merlin]

nope

[pallid lotus]

If it's the one I'm thinking of then it's not scalable

[rapid merlin]

Nope, the safe mode one

Indeed not scalable

[pallid lotus]

Will work for one or two systems but afaik you can't automate the safe mode one

Aye

[rapid merlin]

You can, but that will not be easy. You have to have a working system to automate a safe mode boot

There is software who can do it, but you have to install that first

[pallid lotus]

It's not been confirmed that the update checks occur before the BSOD?

[pallid lotus]

... Exactly

[rapid merlin]

But idk how long it lasts between startup and the bsod?

There is a high chance it doesn't check for updates first... Right?

[pallid lotus]

Afaik BSOD happens during boot, which is why systems are getting stuck in boot loops

[rapid merlin]

There are already airports that are down... No traffic allowed

At least, no departs

[pallid lotus]

I'm assuming this will be to do with a driver running in kernel space, given the symptoms. So, uh, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the drivers get loaded in long before any automatic update checks occur

[rapid merlin]

Probably

[pallid lotus]

That's also assuming that people have auto updates enabled in the first place

A lot of orgs won't to, uh, prevent exactly this from happening

[rapid merlin]

It is related to some "Falcon sensor"

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, that's the thing that runs on the endpoints to send metrics back to the EDR...

[rapid merlin]

Ahh yeah

[pallid lotus]

That's the whole thing lmfao

[rapid merlin]

Seems like some people cant even boot in safe mode

In orgs, or something

[fast elk]

Crowdstrike Falcon Sensor putting hosts into deathloop

[rapid merlin]

Yup

How could this even happen

Update not tested or something?

or the "it works on my pc"

[fast elk]

Don’t believe it’s affecting Mac users from my understanding

Whole world is going crazy in the down detector

Banks, airlines…..everyone

[rapid merlin]

[fast elk]

Like look up banks, airports, software services that are customers of crowdstrike

[rapid merlin]

Rip the economy

[gray sonnet]

🪦 --> economy

[fast elk]

[gray sonnet]

is crowdstrike public?

[fast elk]

Can’t use automatic boarding pass in airport too

[fast elk]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

if it is, imma buy it tomorrow

[gray sonnet]

nvm, I just googled it

[rapid merlin]

Best time to step in now

[fast elk]

Crwd usually beats earnings and recently got added to spy

But overnight trading their stock down 10%

Rest of the world stock market is down

Falcon Sensor is an agent that CrowdStrike claims "blocks attacks on your systems while capturing and recording activity as it happens to detect threats fast."

[rapid merlin]

At least you cant get attacked in a bluescreen loop

So it does the job

FAA telling all flight to land

Due to computer problems

[gray sonnet]

I'm not sure how crowdstrike would put your computer into recovery

[rapid merlin]

Because its in C:\Windows\System32\drivers

And some driver crashes

[sand rivet]

does anyone here have a copy of the sys file in question?

[rapid merlin]

Nope

And can't fix it

Oh they released a fix

that was fast

[chilly veldt]

It's gonna be sooo hot riding to the car meet then

[candid niche]

prob just rolled it back

[calm nexus]

guys internet outage

what is it abiout?

[candid niche]

crowdstrike failed update

[calm nexus]

ahh they say microsoft too?

[candid niche]

its crowdstrike affecting windows machines

[rapid merlin]

Oh its nothing

Just an EDR a lot of big corps use

And it just gives an BSOD boot loop

[tranquil sable]

Shouldn't of pushed on a Friday. Now they've got the whole weekend to fix now 🤣

All seriousness tho, what a interesting situation

[calm nexus]

how ? can you explian more?

[rapid merlin]

True

[rapid merlin]

Alright, they pushed an update, and now every Windows device with it, is in a BSOD boot loop

Simple as that

[calm nexus]

ohhh

so can't they roll back?

[calm nexus]

true man...

so the situation is that windows server using Crowdstrike, are in BSOD boot loop?

correct

?

@rapid merlin @candid niche

[rapid merlin]

True

Correct

[calm nexus]

okayy

[rapid merlin]

Also Windows 10 and 11 btw

Not only windows server

[calm nexus]

ohh ookayy

so can it be hackers doing something?

[rapid merlin]

Could be, probably not

Looks like its just a "bad" update

[calm nexus]

yepp let's hope so

[calm nexus]

..

[rapid merlin]

Idk

We'll see

[calm nexus]

ahh okayy

[rapid merlin]

Hey Guys, I bought an old Kindle yesterday and wanted to ask you if anyone had any good books about hacking? Any recommendations?

ohh i see, then this update will be having their weekend....😂

[fast elk]

CrowdStrike is now in the process of rolling back that update globally

[tranquil sable]

Hopefully no poor intern, if any, gets blamed for it

[sick lance]

Check out #bookclub

Some good recommendations through the channel and pinned posts.

Who's affected by cloudsrike?

Fix if you're affected by the rolling blue screens...

1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.
4. Boot the host normally.

[graceful thistle]

Here now because our infra guy just shared the news on office chat on Friday night x) cant be good news

[graceful thistle]

Oh nice

[shadow loom]

Good thing companies don't vendor lock into Microsoft by default right?

...right? 👀

[rapid merlin]

You are joking... Right?

Companies love Microsoft

[shadow loom]

Nobody ever got fired for recommending Microsoft

Exceptions may be Apple and Linux Foundation, but that's probably it

[rapid merlin]

Maybe not even apple

Would be the same as crowdstrike running crowdstrike on their own servers

[slender scaffold]

I don’t have the crowd strike so I’m good yes?

[steel aspen]

Anyone know what's causing this worldwide network Internet outage thing?

[slender scaffold]

Definitely striking the crowd with the update

[rapid merlin]

I smell Windows

[shadow loom]

I wonder if there we two hiccups at the same time, or if one is related to the other

[steel aspen]

Did y2k38 come early? 😎😎

[shadow loom]

on a mac?

[rapid merlin]

Yep!

[shadow loom]

looks like an iMac I think

[shadow loom]

something like that

[rapid merlin]

Windows xp/7 I think?

[steel aspen]

Is it to do with crowd strike?

[rapid merlin]

Why is this friday so quiet

LOL

[twilit nexus]

What is the possibility that this is a global cyber attack and not a “faulty software issue”

[rapid merlin]

Very small

[twilit nexus]

I saw that too haha

[steel aspen]

Doesn't sound like an attack

Just something messing up in the background

"have you tried turning it off and on?"

[charred forum]

They could do a lot more if they had access to a driver update lol

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, there is no profit for the attacker

[shell nova]

Pretty low

[steel aspen]

Also just annoys the world so yeah

That's why I don't get DDoS attacks

It's just a troll thing

[shell nova]

They done fracked up good and proper

[steel aspen]

What has actually happened though? Can someone explain?

[twilit nexus]

Basically screwed global transportation

Especially airlines

[steel aspen]

And transactions

[shell nova]

Bad driver is causing infinite bsod/reboot loops

[steel aspen]

But what about the flights being grounded and bad transactions?

[tranquil sable]

Well, in terms of what is happening. Crowdstrike is actively causing companies to lose money : )

[shell nova]

Workaround is to boot safe mode, nuke the driver and reboot

[shell nova]

Lot of computers use crowd strike

[steel aspen]

And supermarkets not going through

[twilit nexus]

They can’t use computers

[steel aspen]

Oh true

[rapid merlin]

Their computers are down, sooo

[steel aspen]

Yeah I'm dumb

[rapid merlin]

(/servers)

[twilit nexus]

911 emergency services are also down in some states in the US

[steel aspen]

I always forget what crowd strike is lol

[shell nova]

I feel sorry for the it folks in the trenches having to manually fix everything

[shell nova]

It's an edr iirc

[rapid merlin]

That's another problem, 911 should not rely on windows

[rapid merlin]

True

[shadow loom]

yes

[twilit nexus]

Well they do so unfortunately

[shell nova]

Windows is fine

[shadow loom]

a good one even AFAIK

well, when it doesn't cause world-wide breaking

[twilit nexus]

My sister works for delta and she’s saying it’s hell for the airlines

And airports

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but if windows has a problem (or software for windows), they must have a backup

[shell nova]

Until they muck up updates twice in a row

[shadow loom]

XD

[twilit nexus]

They have to do departures and updates on a whiteboard with an eraser

[shell nova]

To be fair, this is precisely why enterprises tend to hold back updates for a few months

Dunno if crowd strike has an option to delay though

[steel aspen]

So something is happening on crowd strikes end causing it

[twilit nexus]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

mmm, you'd think there would be less companies affected if they did

[steel aspen]

And bad drivers are being affected

Or is it theirs I'm confusrd with it

[tranquil sable]

I mean, that's the catch-22 isn't it? that when companies don't update their stuff, they get EnternalBlue'd and when they do, they get CrowdStrike'd

[shell nova]

Probably

[twilit nexus]

The fact so many people rely on crowdstrike is astounding

[shadow loom]

ffs John

[steel aspen]

That made it made sense

[shadow loom]

it's a good product

[twilit nexus]

I know it is

[steel aspen]

It's a cyber solution for companies basically

[twilit nexus]

But just in general dependency on one company

[shell nova]

Not surprised

[shadow loom]

so obviously many companies use it xD

[steel aspen]

But it's affecting computer drivers

[twilit nexus]

Consolidation to one company for security services is a huge bottleneck

[steel aspen]

Is that it generalised?

[shell nova]

So do antiviruses and other solutions

[steel aspen]

Yeah

[shadow loom]

Vendor lock-in to one company is a huge bottleneck

"The Cloud" is no exception

[twilit nexus]

This is true

[marble totem]

How can something like this even happen? Did they forget to test their updates or something?

[rapid merlin]

Probably ||=waarschijnlijk||

[shadow loom]

Could be that their test environment does not reflect the reality too well

[rapid merlin]

Possibly

Or the Jr. Dev just finished it and pushed

Mmm what does he do then?

System admin?

[mossy river]

Honestly he’s been through so many jobs I’ve lost track

He’s a high level technician for a company so when their clients have issues he’s the one called to fix them

[tepid citrus]

Is it a Microsoft issue or a crowdstrike issue ?

[twilit nexus]

Sister having a field day at the airport for delta

Crowdstrike mostly

[rapid merlin]

A bit of both

[worn thorn]

microsoft has always issues

[rapid merlin]

That is a possible vector. I agree

Imma buy it when the market opens I think

[slender scaffold]

Companies are going to explore other options 100%. But until then… it’s a big thing to change it up

[whole quest]

[rapid merlin]

I meant, the director said what we already knew

His official statement

He told what we already knew

[shadow loom]

they have to say something

[slender scaffold]

It’s less about how easy it is.. it’s more the sheer number of systems and workstations affected

why cant people hack the people who hacked crowdstrike

[slender scaffold]

I used to love it in the early 2000s

[sick lance]

Legality and ethical issues.

[cedar swan]

funny

[sick lance]

I'm being serious?

[normal rose]

No one hacked crowdstrike.

[steel aspen]

But also no one hacked them?

[naive violet]

I mean it's not at all confirmed that crowd strike were hacked

Just entirely rumoured

[steel aspen]

They confirmed it wasn't

Crowdsrike ceo

[naive violet]

Best not to spread unfounded rumors.

[cedar swan]

i dont know the news im using context clues

sorry

[cedar swan]

yea i saw crowdstrike down and assumed

[cedar swan]

yea im saying its funny

[shell nova]

Yeah someone messed up some code

[chilly veldt]

No one hacked crowdstrike, it was a driver update that went wrong and their driver didn't get to be a valid windows driver and therefore causing bsod because it's one of the first things that loads

[cedar swan]

why dont people just hack the people who hacked them if theyre also a hacker

[cedar swan]

ya i get it

[shell nova]

Because noone hacked them, and that would also be illegal

[steel aspen]

Legal and ethical issue just as stated above

[chilly veldt]

That's why if you safe boot into windows you can fix it with a work around

[steel aspen]

It's like scamming scammers.

[shut hawk]

this is gonna be an interesting friday

[steel aspen]

Same ordeal.

[cedar swan]

yea im saying funny

i shouldve put an “always wondered why”

[steel aspen]

Best practise is to teach people to not be scammed.

Or help people with security to stop them being hacked

[normal rose]

the crowdstrike stocks are acutally recovering already

[mossy river]

Everyone who sold is buying back

[normal rose]

they were at -20 and are now at -11

[shell nova]

They responded well to the incident

[steel aspen]

Help the victims, don't waste time going after the perpetrators. That's what police and other agencies are for

[cedar swan]

can i get hacked if someone sends me friend request on discord

[steel aspen]

Bring awareness

[normal rose]

depends on what happens then

[steel aspen]

Um no not specifically that

[shell nova]

Unless you do something stupid like copy paste code, probably not

[steel aspen]

Unless they send you a malicious link you click

[normal rose]

if you accept files that are beeing send to you yes

[cedar swan]

what if they do sum like “if friend = true, hack mav”

[steel aspen]

Doesn't work like that

[normal rose]

this would be way to easy

[cedar swan]

can i get hacked if i click on a server invite

[mossy river]

I think you would benefit from signing up to the platform and studying how to be safer through learning cybersecurity 🙂

https://tryhackme.com

[cedar swan]

no i think i know

[steel aspen]

Depends on link ig. Not strictly discord

If its one directly from discord no

If its a short url that's done up to look like a discord server invite then yes

[cedar swan]

yea i always see people in servers posting the nsfw server invites and im always like how do u get hacked u must be dumb

[harsh sedge]

a legit server invite discord link? heck no

[cedar swan]

like you know when u click on those server invites they ask u to scan a qr code or something

[harsh sedge]

uh, that's about discord tokens i guess, if ya don't have a 2FA authentication, they somehow (probably with bruteforcing) can get random tokens and with these tokens ; random accounts

[steel aspen]

They usually have bad links in them

[cedar swan]

no way people that desperate to actually scan it

and im always like is it that easy

or maybe they got hacked a different way

and then the links are just a biproduct

[steel aspen]

Well I don't know from experience 🤣🤣 just guessing

[normal rose]

well I never klick on random links

[steel aspen]

If its a discord.gg link it's fine

[cedar swan]

i never click links

[steel aspen]

But if it's like a tinyurl or goog.le then probably not

[slender scaffold]

Alright.. bed time. Gnight THM ❤️ stay safe and legal

[shell nova]

Still gotta verify the target, links can be spoofed

[cedar swan]

this account has been disabled like 3 times

[normal rose]

good night. Sleep well

[cedar swan]

never again

[steel aspen]

But then there's also subdomains to make it look like that

[steel aspen]

Can you use + for discord.gg?

Similar to tinyurl

Where it shows the page before

But you dint directly access it

[marble totem]

I usually do a quick check with curl.

[steel aspen]

Good idea

[silver sky]

Come break and enter with Hexxington

[devout palm]

Mmmm Iced Coffee

[golden wadi]

I used parrot for a while the HTB flavour was pretty good but mostly use WSL

[steel aspen]

Wsl is cool

Still learning and wanted a desktop enrivoment but couldn't work out how with wsl so just did vm instead

[shadow loom]

WSL Desktop experience was a little wonky last time I tried it

It works... but not amazingly (back then - might have improved)

[golden wadi]

I need to pull the trigger and at least dual boot I wanted to try hyrpland for ages but doesn't really work well in a VM because I couldn't figure out the PCiE passthrough and it really needs graphics to work well

[shadow loom]

I think unless you wanna remote desktop to it, passing through GPU isn't a good idea

[mossy river]

Why not?

[shadow loom]

Which machine do you get display output of?

[mossy river]

Hm?

[shadow loom]

If you pass-through the GPU to the VM

and plug in a cable

which machine do you get display output of

and if it's the VM, then you also need to pass through USB to use mouse and keyboard

[mossy river]

https://tenor.com/view/i-just-work-here-idk-idk-about-that-i-don't-know-gif-3168423486813006711

[shadow loom]

and then you can't manage the host itself

[mossy river]

Signal is so bad here holy cow

[golden wadi]

well you'd need at least 2 GPUs/iGPU so I assume when I boot the VM it should switch windows to using the CPUs iGPU and give the VM the main GPU

[shadow loom]

i dunno, never tried it myself (GPU passthrough) but I just imagine it's not something you wanna do on your main PC

maybe

[golden wadi]

or I've seen some people who have an AMD card and NVIDIA card then use the amd on linux and have a windows VM where they pass the nvidia card which I am kinda enticed by but then I'd have to upgrade my PSU if I wanted 2 GPUs

[shadow loom]

sounds like a maintenance hell if it breaks even the slightest

[near grove]

Crowdstrike just booped thousands of companies

good to have you here

the stock price is crawling up again slowly

it's back up to -12%

[shadow loom]

yea

we'll see

gonna bounce for a while

cya

[golden wadi]

the media keeps saying "you can't update normally" yet American Airlines reportedly said they're already back up and running so surely they can just push the update across the network? Or did they only have a small number of systems affected

[rapid merlin]

Lol

[normal rose]

there is a hotfix. You just need to delete a file on your pc. But you need to be able to boot Windows in safe mode

[rapid merlin]

Maybe they fixed it, or they just had backups

that's how you put a nail in your own coffin 😄

[normal rose]

Hello

[tulip heath]

I am at complete beginner's path

how much time do you think it will take to complete

[steel aspen]

Depends on you and how much you do

[tulip heath]

if I do it for 5 hours a day
?

[normal rose]

well it still depends on the knowledge you already have. But I guess you will pretty much rush through the beginners path

[golden wadi]

are you a complete beginner or have some knowledge/background in tech it all depends on how fast you can absorb the knowledge and understand the topics

[tulip heath]

I know Kali linux

and python

a little bit

[golden wadi]

by knowing "kali linux" does that mean you have a deep understanding in all the numerous tools it has or just that you can use a terminal? again there's no definitive answer until you do it

[tulip heath]

also basics of C and JS

well I'll do it

[golden wadi]

it also depends how serious you take it are you going to be taking notes during the path or just blitz through it? if the latter then it might take only a couple days

[steel aspen]

[sick lance]

Or just check your local news, it's a headline.

[normal rose]

No that's not correct.

Cloudstrike pushed a update which made a driver crash.

[pine stratus]

yes , i see , its a bad update

[tepid citrus]

For learning purpose… How could organisations have prevented this? What if they blocked auto update ??

[sick lance]

That would be effective.

It's not the first time an update has messed up, maybe not to this scale.

Cloudstrike should have tested the update beforehand

Resources is better that for that.

[steel aspen]

I just trolled myself

[agile thicket]

Hi who can find the phone number and address of Khadidja Benmessaoud please

[sick lance]

Why do you want to do that.

?*

[steel aspen]

Opened up windows and I left Connect on in fullscreen mode. Thought it was the infamous update at first. 😎

Connect/ Wireless Display

[silver sky]

Literally their website

[silver sky]

They couldn't have. Not automatically updating endpoint defence software is a recipe for disaster

[normal rose]

Just never use auto update.

[agile thicket]

To find her

[sick lance]

...And you'd like to find her why?

[steel aspen]

The memes coming out are great

I'd like to state for the record, I do not work for Crowdstrike

5 steps to updates

Please stop asking for help on this matter in this server.

@boreal scarab Happy BSoD day to you...

HELL YAH!

[silver sky]

Terrible advice

[rapid merlin]

I had a giggle reading his response

[boreal scarab]

It's a Friday, I'm eating a bagel, boss is working from home. AND Crowdstrike broke millions of computers!

[silver sky]

Please turn off updates to prevent the rare occurrence of software bugs - best advice

[steel aspen]

Crowdstrike or eternal blue?

[silver sky]

Just turn it all off

[steel aspen]

Choice is yours 😎

[normal rose]

Why?

[worn thorn]

Did you touch their office building?

[silver sky]

Turn off your firewalls as well

[steel aspen]

Outdated software are vulnerable 9 times out of 10

[silver sky]

Do you know what CrowdStrike Falcon is?

[steel aspen]

Obviously not in this case but yeah

[normal rose]

Well if in my company they would not have automatically updated from Cloudstrike nothing would have happened here. Wait one day and then install the update. Usually the bugs are then identified.

[silver sky]

I am actually dying

[rapid merlin]

Your IT team need to quit

[normal rose]

I mean this was not a zero day exploit that was fixed here

[harsh sedge]

vadi is not wrong though, you should never update to the new system instantly

[silver sky]

I do hope you don't have anything to do with cyber security for your company

[worn thorn]

that is a bad argument mate

[silver sky]

Why?

[boreal scarab]

Be mindful of blindly updating

Looks at my 3 Rasp Pi's that have cron jobs to update and upgrade every night

[silver sky]

Give me a good reason on why you shouldn't update critical security software

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

Imo it’s just silly, such a rare occurrence for a bug that bad to happen so for that small chance you never take newly pushed updates on release date?

[silver sky]

[steel aspen]

Do a setting that says update as soon as one is available

[harsh sedge]

pre-new versions can sometimes have unknown bugs which become seeable in a short time, so it's better if you wait at least a few days to make sure that the new system is fully secure, ya won't lose anything, will ya?

[boreal scarab]

What's that?

[worn thorn]

crowdstrike did a silly with drivers.
