Episode notes
SSL 2.0 Prevalence
- While 423,000 SSL 2.0 servers sounds alarming, it's a tiny fraction of all HTTPS servers.
- Finding an SSL 2.0 server likely indicates broader outdated software and vulnerabilities.
Reporting SSL 2.0
- Report any SSL 2.0 servers found in your environment to Johannes Ullrich for further investigation.
- Many such devices, like webcams, are likely already compromised due to outdated software.
Deepseek and AI Model Security
- Deepseek's security shortcomings aren't unique; many AI models, especially those hastily deployed, share them.
- Issues include exposed instances via OLAMA, censorship features, and unencrypted data reporting.
