@cR0w@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange reminds me of being tasked to implement a system that used tftp for parallel file transfer, up to 40 in parallel.
"Sure no problem, what port range are we using?"
"Here's 5 ports"
"But tftp needs ports for adressing..."
"That's what the design doc says and we can't revise it again without making the customer mad"
So I did THINGS, that probably work, usually, but it definitely wasn't tftp.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange @kevingranade@mastodon.gamedev.place that reminds me of all the arcane shit I had to do to get FOG/PXE booting to work over a small subset of ports, through a firewall.

@da_667@infosec.exchange @kevingranade@mastodon.gamedev.place Oh fuck. I forgot about the shit show that was ( is? ) DHCP relaying for routed and firewalled PXE.
