Nice! 👍

Things have improved a bit, but I recommend Anyone who is considering purchasing one of these watch that video, and read through the associated Github issue thread. If you buy one of these, I would re-flash the unit prior to use.

As an alternative, for about the same price (ex shipping) there is JetKVM which is physically very nice. Here is apalrd's security video on JetKVM, which is also worth watching.

FWIW, I have no association with JetKVM other than as a user.

A common misconception is an interesting attack like this one is the way in. Frequently it is a chain of attacks that get companies and people in trouble. A low access breach is chained with other attacks and quickly the attacker is root. Read the Pwn2Own results. Pwn2Own is a hacking competition and most winners chain attacks.

Since this one is actively being used it must be working. I am sure this will breed new attacks.

Defensive thinking will have you lock your front door, offensive thinking will have you bar the front door.

@JonathanLee Oh, yeah 😁 All the garbage truck drivers in the neighborhood know my son. They always wave and greet him.

@tinfoilmatt Yes I was not aware of it. Thanks for the explanation 👍

Yup seems like spam. Deleted.

@stephenw10 said in Is my math correct about PCIe bandwidht and 10Gbps NICs ?:

Only if you are trying to use both ports at full duplex. Which very rarely happens IMO.

Thanks Stephen, I will get one of those.. 👍

I have an AMD B550 chipset, which the DMI connection (from chipset to CPU), is PCI 3.0 x4.
I have doing some math with that also, and even using a NVME PCI 3.0 and a few SATA drives, won't saturate that link with this NIC (single port).
I have also a NVME PCIe 4.0, but that is directly connected to the CPU, so no chipset lanes used here.

I will use it in my server, connect it directly to a USW-Enterprise-PoE-8 switch through a DAC cable since local users will be connecting to it using 2.5Gbps ports, and also some connections from the Internet.
