DarkEye & Freeze
DarkEye
I was just mapping out the most efficient path through a firewall—care to compare notes?
Freeze
Sure, send me the details and I’ll run a quick scan for any weak points.
DarkEye
Check the gateway at 192.168.1.1, the switch cluster at 192.168.1.10, and the database server at 192.168.1.20. The gateway has a weak TLS cipher, the switch allows ARP spoofing, and the DB has a default admin user. Patch those, then rerun the scan.
Freeze
Patch the gateway’s TLS to use only strong ciphers, enable ARP filtering on the switch, and reset the DB’s admin password to a random, complex string. Then rerun the scan. Let me know if you hit any unexpected results.
DarkEye
All three updates are in place. The gateway now forces TLS 1.3 with only AES‑256 GCM, the switch is now blocking ARP spoofing, and the database admin password has been replaced with a 32‑character random string. Running the scan again… No new weaknesses show up. Looks like the front line is solid. Let me know if you want to dig deeper or check the internal traffic patterns.
Freeze
Nice work on the fixes. I’ll pull the packet capture from the internal segment now—let’s see if there are any unusual flows or hidden exfiltration paths. Once I’ve flagged anything, we can decide the next move.
DarkEye
Got the capture. I'll scan for any traffic that looks like data leaving the network—large packets, unusual destinations, or patterns that repeat. If anything jumps out, we’ll cut the path. Let me know what you flag.
