Blast-RADIUS attack

We are currently working on a fix for the Blast-RADIUS attack. It promises to be problematic and may take some time.
The latest WiKID version includes an SBOM
Posted by: root 1 year, 6 months ago
As of 6.2 and 5.4, we are including an SBOM in the WiKID RPM. It is located in /opt/WiKID.

Needless to say, this greatly enhances the security of our product. Even if you never look at the SBOM file, we do!

We are fairly confident that we are not vulnerable to the Log4J bug, but we will be releasing an update soon with an updated version of Log4J. Stay tuned.

We've recently had more questions about deploying WiKID for two-factor authentication for AD admins to thwart potential privilege escalation in ransomware attacks. We've done a proof-of-concept showing that WiKID can make privilege escalation quite difficult. We realized that we missed a key question about deploying two-factor authentication for admins: how do I know I won't lock out all my admins? That's a damn good question. And here's the answer:
