Who said only internet-facing assets need to be patched?

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Who said it was connected to a network?

[–] Fox@pawb.social 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What would be the point of a router not connected to any network?

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I dunno. Development? Ask OP.

This comment thread is about an unpatched router (probably in production) at a Canadian Internet exchange

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have seen a Cisco router with 17 years of uptime in an internet exchange in Canada.

What's an internet exchange in this context? I thought it meant an online forum.

[–] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably a co-lo where different carriers peer.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Got it. Thanks for explaining.

Developing for a 17 year old router

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bro. There are people who are developing in Cobol for 50 year old systems.

There are games still being released for the original, 80s-era Nintendo.

So.... yeah. Unlikely? Sure. Impossible? Nope.

It's not running on 50 year old hardware I can guarantee you that

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Uh, yeah, we established that a couple of comments ago. My point is that if people today still develop for 50-year-old hardware, it's not unreasonable to think that they could be developing for 17 year old hardware.

Frankly, I'm already bored with this conversation. Have a nice evening.
