\section{Sharktech}
Sharktech is a provider that focuses on \gls{ddos} prevention, such
as for gaming servers. Has a data center in Denver.
Looks good. Manually provisions servers over a few days.
Good local speed and latency.

First login, kernel is:
\texttt{Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 \#1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u1 (2016-09-03) x86\_64 \gls{gnulinux}}
It isn't up-to-date. Running Debian 8.6. The \texttt{dmesg} showed the kernel had already
barfed a couple times (USB time outs and more).

\Gls{ipmi} http connection is in cleartext!!! Doesn't redirect to https. https has failed SSL
certificate (like every other Supermicro on the planet). \Gls{ipmi} requires Java junk.
Server was running for a few days before I could update it.

\begin{itemize}
 \item Default \gls{ipmi} connection is in cleartext http.
 \item SSL certificate for Supermicro \gls{ipmi} is bad (like all of them).
 \item Can't change password on \gls{ipmi}.
 \item Root password for server and \gls{ipmi} is sent via email.
 \item There is an attack window between their machine imaging and first login.
 \item Customer should control timing of first power on.
 \item System is also possibly vuln during the ISP's initial power up and commissioning period.
 \item First reboot, the system hung (.png XXX).
 \item Hard reset, lots of DHCP queries at boot.
 \item A \texttt{debian} user was on the system, password unknown. Check \texttt{/home}!
 \item They block NTP to prevent \gls{ddos}, so you have to use their time server
  \texttt{time.sharktech.net}
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
 \item Credit Card.
 \item PayPal.
 \item Wire Transfer.
 \item Check/Western Union.
