@stefano That happens when auditors are mostly idiots with little technical knowledge but with a lot of power. I had to deal with those people many times, people who don't know how to open a CLI and run a fucking ping are telling you what you have to do. When I deal with cyber security auditors with strong technical knowledge things are different but in my experience most of them just care about compliance.

@jrballesteros05 I agree. They know that Debian with that version is compliant, and that's all. They don't probably know how ssh works at all.

True that! Once had an external cybersecurity auditor argue vehemently that certificate-based authentication is insecure and should not be used for MFA 😂

@jrballesteros05 @stefano Another fun thing about some auditors - they must have screenshots. Text files are not good enough.

@apgarcia @jrballesteros05 @stefano oh, good $DEITY.

I once had an auditor ask for screenshots from Active Directory Users & Computers.

Of the whole expanded thing. All 150k+ objects.

I explained why this wasn't possible, they repeated the demand, so I explained again and asked for escalation.

The demand was soon removed 🙂
