DATAPUISTOKEMISTI

There's really bizarre bug in RHEL7 / CentOS7. Once per hour NetworkManager will remove IP addresses from ethernet interface after hitting some bug and triggering "link loss" action. Interface may come back by itself or may not. It does come back when you login as root on console as login triggers some repair action part via systemd...

Another pointless change just to break backwards compatibility - RHEL7 and CentOS7 prevent users with uid lower than 1000 from logging in. This is bad when you're migrating accounts from existing Linux server where uids start at 500.

Short version: Not as simple as you thought.

So you have setup with Aruba RAPs that bridge their wired ports to VLAN on controller. Web interface only tracks wireless clients so you have no idea what AP client with particular IP is connected to.

So you have used all you tricks to get MS17-010 fix deployed but how to confirm that every forgotten PC on your network is actually patched? We'll scan our intranet using Metasploit checking for this particular vulnerability. PCs with local firewall blocking SMB traffic will be missed, but those are not exploitable anyway due same firewall.

ZTE MF286 has built-in factory backdoor allowing root shell access on embedded Linux running inside router. However since we don't know RSA-2048 private key used for encrypting device specific password we're not able to use this. Which doesn't mean we won't have other means to gain root shell.

My ZTE MF286 is running DNA firmware version B04. It's somewhat limited in LTE band selection, but that can easily be worked around with curl.
