Hey yâall! I wanted to tickle your feeds to let you know that weâve got another runZero Hour episode done and dusted and ready for your viewing pleasure: Beyond the veil with end-of-life OSes, featuring our new friend, Captain N3m0 of endoflife.date. Nemo is a smart and friendly legend of open source, and he really, really cares about obsolescence as it crops up in tech stacks.
In this episode, we talk about everything from current programming languages to mysterious firmware to, of course, the natural process of degrading and retiring operating systems.
In the middle bit, I go over the findings from our most recent research report, Undead by Design with the aid of a whole bunch of screenshots from all kinds of zombie movies (and one fantasy movie that happens to have zombies in it).
This is a short version of the talk that I gave live at the Texas Zero-Day Massacre here in Austin, so if you couldnât make that weird and spooky event, well, at least you can enjoy my ramblings online.
Finally, we also talked about three Rapid Responses that were especially notable since our last episode: a Cisco bug, a Redis bug (which is also secretly a Valkey bug), and a Fortra bug. All of our Rapid Responses tend to be bad news (sorry!), but these were badder news than most.
