US Federal agencies plugging their Ivanti boxes back into the internet after factory resetting them

TIL it doesn’t matter what me and @wdormann think, it’s only real when people read about it on Hacker News.

@GossiTheDog The 1/31 directive should have ended after this sentence:

@GossiTheDog I feel like there's an awful lot of stuff Ivanti has acquired over the years that's probably similar.

@GossiTheDog come on now, that’s what vendors refer to as a fully hardened appliance! 😉

@GossiTheDog stop worrying, it's FIPS certified crypto! (crapto?)

@GossiTheDog note the attribution license doc mentions a bunch of python modules, some frontend and some backend. noirbizarre/flask-restplus, rptlab/reportlab (PDF gen library), scikit-learn/scikit-learn (Python machine learning library using SciPy). Python is probably on there somewhere.

@GossiTheDog looks much like the stack used by $big.SaaS org to host vast amounts of customer email did, 10y ago. (I'm sure they've fixed all that by now. Right, kids?)

@GossiTheDog but the important thing is that SBOMs are too hard, and no one needs them.

@GossiTheDog What version of the appliance comes with the 2.6 Linux kernel?
22.3R1 runs 4.15.18.34.

@wdormann @GossiTheDog Ivanti does publish a list of all the third party software in each version, just change the URL for whatever release:
