In October 2025, F5 rotated its signing certificates and keys used to cryptographically sign F5-produced digital objects.
As a result:
BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released in October 2025 and later are signed with new certificates and keys
BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released in October 2025 and later contain new public keys used to verify certain F5-produced objects released in October 2025 and later
BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released in October 2025 and later may not be able to verify certain F5-produced objects released prior to October 2025
BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS product versions released prior to October 2025 may not be able to verify certain F5-produced objects released in October 2025 and later
I wonder if there's a bet to be made on future 8K disclosures following quietly updated signing keys. A bet against F5 placed this morning would've only made 3.6%.
I know this is territory that gets rehashed every time someone says "hey, I like tool X..." but I still get a kick out of browsing these threads to see what tools people are using.
I can highly recommend History of Byzantium podcast by Robin Pierson.
"The History of Byzantium” is a podcast dedicated to the story of the Roman Empire from the collapse of the West in 476 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Byzantine history is fascinating, world changing and largely forgotten. Listen and discover who they were."
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been listening to Dan Carlin and his history podcasts and am almost done with all of them. I needed something to add to the queue.
You may want to consider checking out Mike Duncan's podcasts the History of Rome and Revolutions as well. History of Rome especially since it was the ending of that podcast at the fall of the west that encouraged the creation of the History of Byzantium podcast.
Duncan in particular gets much better at doing his podcast after a few dozen episodes. I'm pretty attuned to audio issues and almost dropped the podcast about halfway in, but eventually he figured a few things out and it got a lot nicer to listen to.
Oh my goodness, he's at episode 150+ and he is only at 1000 AD! I thought Dan Carlin was thorough / long-winded, but this guy make Carlin look like a short summary!
A more common criticism of Carlin is that he is not thorough. That isn't a shot at him, usually (though a couple of the historians I know aren't big on his sources), but a lot of that is the format he's decided to go with--when you are limited to mere hours, you're going to necessarily be shallow about things.
