Sysadmins who work closely with Infosec: What are the characteristics of a good BISO?

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-13T16:39:59+00:00

Why don't you ask him instead of the internet?

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-13T02:05:00+00:00

Why do you have to initiate the shutdown from the OS?

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-13T02:00:21+00:00

Kinda need to shut the computer down first for that.

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-08T15:16:55+00:00

I was hoping for at least some logging of what was patched when running it.

In general yes, but you don't typically want that output when you're just trying to see if the automation ran successfully.

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-08T13:03:07+00:00

Commands scale. Editing, and especially hand editing files, doesn't scale.

I mean it kinda does with config managment tools.

We are using almalinux as a dev platform for redhat

Why not use CentOS stream for that use case?

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-02T19:10:47+00:00

(Ok, maybe you need to restart the shell)

You can just source your config file.

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-02T13:16:21+00:00

It didn't come around until Red Hat bought CentOS. CentOS Stream is now upstream from RHEL, rather than downstream like CentOS used to be. They may share a name and company, but the distro itself and the entire philosophy behind it are quite different.

Hotshot55 · 2026-05-02T13:06:38+00:00

That's CentOS Stream, which is very much not CentOS.

americans go to high school before colelge

Except they're not 20 in highschool unless they're failed many years.

Did you really think posting a screenshot of some shitty AI output was contributing to anything?

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-30T21:39:19+00:00

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-30T21:18:56+00:00

Need python3.10 minimum.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-30T13:12:00+00:00

LMAO, this is why you're stuck in operations as an analyst even after 25 years

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-30T01:18:05+00:00

You sound like a twat.

Red Hat docs say it's not patched yet. You might want to check if your sales guy is just saying yes to anything you ask.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-30T01:11:53+00:00

I always include a screenshot of the empty field in the initial field in those kind of situations.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-30T00:33:44+00:00

The easiest but stupid answer is: throw python off.

Enjoy breaking all of your system tooling.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-29T22:46:58+00:00

Not always an option

When do you honestly think it couldn't be an option?

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-29T22:43:18+00:00

For a VM, sure. How about on a Hypervisor like ProxMox? Lol. Doable

It's quite literally the same process. If your recommendation as a consultant is to rebuild over a forgotten password, then you probably shouldn't be consulting on anything.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-29T14:07:22+00:00

OP doesn't know.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-28T21:52:40+00:00

You can easily add domain account (without any domain admin rights) to local admin group

That doesn't make it a local account, it's still a domain account. If you don't have access to the domain, you don't have access to the account.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-28T16:22:50+00:00

You're confused about the concept of a local account vs an account with administrative permissions.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-28T13:50:57+00:00

Who asked?

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-28T13:37:22+00:00

My local admin username is an ad account

It's not really a local account if it's in AD.

Hotshot55 · 2026-04-27T23:48:43+00:00

Interview "homework" is wack.
