I do industrial controls. The software we are forced to use is usually proprietary, sometimes old, and always very poorly written. Plus there's the networking issues. A huge amount of stuff is just statically addressed, so I might be switching the ethernet port on my laptop from an 89.89.x.y subnet, to a 10.10.i.j subnet, to a 192.168.a.b subnet, and back again multiple times a day. When IT first took admin rights off our laptops, it took away our ability to change IP addresses. There may have been some small amount of malicious compliance.

    approximately how many windows XP instances running CNC shit do you support?

    seeing these in the wild blew my mind

    Haven't come across many of those, since we tend to do small to medium sized production line type machines, as opposed to individual CNC stuff. That being said, it is wild how hilariously insecure everything is.
