but its getting way ahead of them in some ways
some military computers are running on VERY outdated OS and using some sketchy fucking protocols
well
yes ill just uniequivocally agree
ive seen an f-18 MFD on youtube
and its like
are you joking me mate
lmao
I do like that they try to create internal OS though
doing that prevents attackers from easily discovering exploits
its true
its also relatively simple so its not like total horror show in terms of security
you dont have like USB peripherals that just execute arbitrary code under the right conditions
it's just hard for them to do it right because a lot of people that are on those teams aren't familiar with how to create newer systems
wont deny that
hardware is no problem for them
they have engineers for days
but software is a weak spot
tech jobs are hard to get without a lot of work experience
so by the time they are qualified for those positions, their education is outdated
tech is eating its own tail quite a lot at the moment
'well its expensive to take in new guys'
'better only hire experienced people'
'oh god there are no experienced workers'
'HOLD THE LINE WE WILL NEVER HIRE A GRADUATE'
that's my nightmare
I graduate this coming summer and I know I have a mountain of certs to get before I even can try for a real position
i applied to the same place like ten times
i got 9 no responses and one yes, immediate interview and job
my advice is
gonna have a damn masters in cybersecurity and will have to probably work fuckin help desk for a year
a lot of the hiring people
are not actually all that smart
they are very fickle
having seen them from multiple perspectives now
including from inside the company
a lot of people actually hate them
so i mean
just bear that in mind
they just know the answer to the question they ask that is extremely technical
