Watching a webinar on siegeware, which is the use of ransomware against building control systems (HVAC, fire control, door security, etc.) that have Internet exposure of one kind or another. They've walked us through the basic use of shodan.io.
I cannot remember where I saw it, but I'm thinking of the three categories of networking fondness:
REGULAR USER: The Internet of Things is great! I've got my thermostat and my air conditioner and my lights all hooked up to an app on my phone and I can check on my security systems anywhere in the world and unlock the door to my house from my phone! My refrigerator has a wifi card that lets me ensure I can check the levels of groceries any time I want! I love living in the future!
NETWORKING PROFESSIONAL: The only internet-capable object on my home network is a printer from 2007, and I keep a loaded gun pointed at it in case it ever makes an unexpected noise.
NETWORKING SECURITY PROFESSIONAL: God, I wish I'd been born in the Paleolithic. *swigs whiskey* *slices cables*
