Show HN: Plexus – Telemetry for hardware teams who could build it but shouldn't
Hi, I'm Ann, building Plexus.
We gives hardware teams live dashboards and stored history for your sensor data, so you don't have to build and maintain that setup yourself. You can try it without signing up on our site.
I built it because small hardware teams keep ending up with the same homemade stack (InfluxDB, Grafana, a pile of scripts) and one engineer who is the only person who knows how it all fits together. Building it is the easy part. Maintaining it for the life of the company… that's not fun for anyone and it's time taken away from the hardware.
We have a free plan for up to 3 devices. Paid plans are $500 a month, and the first 50 startups get a design partnership: $300 a month for the first 6 months in exchange for feedback and a case study.
We're early. If you run your own Grafana setup for hardware, I'd love to know: what would it take for you to stop maintaining it?
and/or if you work in hardware - have any feedback for us?

Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance and Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software SSL VPN Denial of Service Vulnerability
Update for September 16, 2026: The original 1.0 version of this advisory was specific to the Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv) and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) models. However, it was later found that this vulnerability affects all Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software platforms.
A vulnerability in the VPN and management web servers of the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software platforms could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to run out of system memory or buffer blocks, which in turn could cause SSL VPN connection processing to slow down and eventually cease altogether.
This vulnerability is due to a lack of proper memory management for new incoming SSL/TLS connections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of new incoming SSL/TLS connections to the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to deplete system memory or buffers, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The memory or buffers could be reclaimed slowly if the attack traffic is stopped, but a manual reload may be required to restore operations quickly.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-asaftdvirtual-dos-MuenGnYR
This advisory is part of the October 2024 release of the Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: October 2024 Semiannual Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication.
<br/>Security Impact Rating: High <br/>CVE: CVE-2024-20260Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software Static Credential Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to log in to an affected device using a low-privileged account to access sensitive data within the impacted systems.
This vulnerability is due to the presence of static user credentials for a low-privileged account. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the account to log in to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to the affected system and access sensitive data as the low-privileged user.
Note: If the FMC management interface does not have public internet access, the attack surface that is associated with this vulnerability is reduced.
Cisco has assigned this security advisory a Security Impact Rating (SIR) of High rather than Medium as the score indicates. The reason is that this vulnerability can be used with other Cisco Secure FMC Software vulnerabilities to elevate privileges.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

<br/>Security Impact Rating: High <br/>CVE: CVE-2026-20316Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance and Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software Remote Access SSL VPN Denial of Service Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Remote Access SSL VPN service for Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient error checking when processing HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the Remote Access SSL VPN service on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

<br/>Security Impact Rating: High <br/>CVE: CVE-2026-20349Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance and Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software for Secure Firewall 3100 and 4200 Series DTLS Denial of Service Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Datagram TLS (DTLS) message handling of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software for Cisco Secure Firewall 3100 Series and 4200 Series devices could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper resource management when processing certain DTLS messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted stream of DTLS traffic to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.

<br/>Security Impact Rating: High <br/>CVE: CVE-2026-20250Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software Java Deserialization Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the External Database Access feature of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insecure deserialization of a user-supplied Java byte stream from a host that is configured in the external database access list. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted, serialized Java byte stream to a specific TCP port of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device and elevate privileges to root.
Notes:
- This vulnerability can be exploited only by an attacker who has control of a host in the external database access list.
- If the FMC management interface does not have public internet access, the attack surface that is associated with this vulnerability is reduced.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL injections, modify data, or execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system on an affected device.
For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.
Note: For CVE-2026-20282 and CVE-2026-20283, Cisco has assigned a Security Impact Rating (SIR) of High rather than Medium as the scores indicate. The reason is that it is easy to get to root from the achieved privilege level.

A vulnerability in the RADIUS feature of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper handling of certain RADIUS requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted RADIUS request directly to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ISE node to become unavailable. For single node deployments in that condition, endpoints that have not already authenticated would be unable to access the network until the node comes back up on its own.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
