So I've got this fun luggable that I picked up this weekend.
-
And let's get back to what this thing is:
It's a FleXtreme NextDimension, that's what!
-
That's these people:
https://solutions.nextcomputing.com/Apparently they started as Sun workstation supplier for government and military customers, and later started doing high-performance luggables for a variety of markets, including video production. Thus, this thing.
I can't find this model on their site, but they did a lot of custom things (and this thing is 12 years old: they might have just deleted it from their site ) -
@vga256 nah, that's a little too new
-
hard drive is not dead! but annoyingly it's bigger than the spare hard drive I have in my imaging machine, so I can't just copy everything over
-
okay so I rapidly found out some info.
This thing does have data on the hard drive. This used to be used by a church in the bay area, and it's one that boasts on their website that they livestream their services.
I bet up until relatively recently they were using this machine to do that
-
@foone This felt like a weird livestream capture system.
-
relatively recently means "up until march 2020", judging by file dates.
-
I have their OBS config. I could make PIRATE CHURCH SERMONS!
especially if they didn't rotate their stream key between now and 2020
-
uh. I think this thing might have been donated from someone who worked at NetApp, and didn't clear the hard drive.
There's some files from 2016 that are Net App All Hands presentations.
-
NetApp Confidential - Restricted Use
YEAH ABOUT THAT: MAYBE DON'T LEAVE IT ON A HARD DRIVE IN THE GARBAGE
-
fun fact about this:
in 2016 I was working for Pure Storage, one of NetApp's direct competitors -
I am an expert at industrial espionage but I take the slow route
I just wait 8 years for your computers to get donated to a church and then thrown out, and then I pick them up and access your presentations that were foolishly left on the hard drive!It's the perfect crime!
-
the machine runs IIS for some reason. I don't really feel like looking into what this does, but I think it's some weird SOAP thing
-
yeah this thing has 55 files in the Archive folder, and every one I've checked is an internal confidential NetApp presentation
-
they're not hiring for any security positions. I checked.
Not surprised, really.
-
oh hey there's another folder with another archive but this is the church's livestreams.
I can pirate the Jesus!
-
@foone
Are they mad enough to have code on it?Like here is our proprietary...
-
@foone Splice two recordings together, one with a large congregation and one with a small congregation. Convince viewers the rapture has happened.
-
@DotMaetrix sadly, you can't see the congregation
