mircea_popescu: !up myriarity
mircea_popescu: in a security environment, security is auditable provided the comittment to security is not compromised in order to listen to some ziggler impersonator.
mircea_popescu: it is impossible if one allows runaway complexity for "ux" and other idiotic reasons. but then again so is any scenario of chasing two rabbits.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: security audit is basically impossible. <<< im unconvinced.
mircea_popescu: "what means safe" "what means healthy"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ^ :D
mircea_popescu: doctors have been doing ok auditing the human body w/o any spec for a while now.

mircea_popescu: mike_c it's a very large hole. odds of no pencildick managing to find it, ever... hm
mircea_popescu: mike_c checking if your box is open is something you'll haveto do yourself.
mircea_popescu: !s from:mircea_popescu env
mircea_popescu: i also quoted a test for 6271 yest.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i just quoted it above

mircea_popescu: Naphex no thaths the 6271 one
mircea_popescu: export badvar='() { (a)=>\';bash -c "hackerfile echo vulnerable";grep vulnerable hackerfile||echo safe << if anyone wants to test it
mircea_popescu: debian != ubuntu omg.
mircea_popescu: heh.
mircea_popescu: ;;google debian 7169 patch
mircea_popescu: rather than dedicating yourself to being friends with idiots, dedicate yourself to being enemitous to idiots.

mircea_popescu: Naphex wasn't the patch bad ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: i often think about that, how the hell can someone who cannot/willnot read code, ever be the steward of a software project safely? <<< you know i don't actually read all that much code at all. i guess i could, more or less, but i wouldn't trust myself to understand it. by which i don't mean "what it does", but i do mean "what we can absolutely say about this program"
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: how is it done ? why, by not acting towards a goal, but from a cause.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is where you're wrong. because consider, what is your definition of "human mind" ? could you in fact have two human minds that are identically the same one mind for this purpose ? turns out you can, it's the most important field of research of the vory.
mircea_popescu: still.
mircea_popescu: Naphex also some ssl/ssh/etc
mircea_popescu: we're not here for a goal, we're here because a cause. major fucking difference.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point is not to fix anything.
mircea_popescu: if the process of figuring out what is safe worked, we wouldn't have the bug in the first place.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa reading logs never killed anyone.
mircea_popescu: mike_c notice how little beating is actually needed, among civilised adults that interiorise the wot model.
