Husband, Father, IT Pro, service.
I ask a lot of questions to try to understand how people think.
Office culture nuances… I enjoy them.

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It’s cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.
How far do you guys go?
'All of it’s or until it’s inconvenient?
What’s the pain tolerance for when everyone says it makes the job too hard?
Ever compared CIS controls to STIG ACAP?
I’ve only ever used SCAP for a few reasons z but one being it’s free.
What do you guys use for STIG audit?
Manual STIG viewer or SCAP?
Makes sense. Thanks. I have heard of R7. Had not heard of Qualys.
Thanks
Good info, thanks.
I am familiar with ACAS, which is why I am testing the products.
Fully capturing all the capabilities of scanning, auditing configuration seems like you could put countless hours into the implementation.
I imagine the ROI is high based on what I’ve seen.
Would you agree?
Thanks,. I’ll check into those two
I know businesses like to skip on spending money for upgrades, but still using 2010 is pretty far out. These just mom and pops that have no idea, or these just businesses that don’t care?
I spent Wednesday tracking down what was transferring too much data. It was domain controllers. The team didn’t figure out why though. I’m waiting in anticipation. I also can’t call people names without knowing/JK
Thanks for sharing this.
@jerry thanks for all you do and the FAQ. Enjoyed them.
Spent the day/week wondering why part of a network was transferring 100 times the planned data, wondering if data exfil, etc.
Nope, just misconfigured domain controllers. Still waiting on the geniuses on that team to figure something out.
If your DC uses GBs instead of MBs to replicate a mostly static directory, you might have a problem…
Thanks for posting interesting stuff.
I like getting infosec info on infosec instance :)
If you cross post to two communities on the same instance, we all see double posts.
Maybe we can pick between cybersecurity and security news for articles and the other for discussion?
Nice. You guys allowing the playbooks to configure or just audit?
I have a stack of HP Gen 8 servers in the lab that I got off of ebay, for cheap. Cause they’re G8s…and not 10/11 :)
Can you share any of the baseline that’s not specific to your org/sensitive? What sources are you using as a reference?
Just make sure it’s HBA mode and it’ll be fine. Sometimes called IT mode.
Google IBM m1015 hba, there’s a ton on eBay for no money. It used to be TrueNAS go to. There’s newer HBAs that are faster, but I don’t think it will matter for you
If you do TN, you MUST read the manual and look at their ZFS intro guide. Trust me.
