dear infosec fam, a huge part of why we have the cons, events, projects, and knowledge we have and share is b/c of the people who volunteer to pour their time and hearts into it. be nice. stop the drama. stop the pettiness. step back. remember why we do what we do. <3, ss

i set up a vpn for a former client to access their internal systems they said they "didn't like" vpns so they moved the systems to an external subnet after i finished the project allow all tcp 0.0.0.0/0 so there's one reason πŸ˜”
If you have RDP exposed to the Internet, why? I'm seriously asking here. What's the reason? Is the increased risk cost justified?
