I found that if you leave your bmc unplugged on a super micro, it’ll conveniently bridge it to whatever other Ethernet is plugged in, meaning an outage of your management network may roll over to another network unintentionally.
Id put money on there being preauth vulnerabilities in those things, judging by the engineering quality.
