decimation: gotta pay if you want 'google apps'
too
justJanne: Gmail has
two options: sell your data or pay.
williamdunne: Increasing
the number of people who know
the platform so
that enterprise customers will purchase it
adlai: gmail sells adspace
to its parent company.
the number of people who know its actual revenue is probably quite low.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: scraping your emails
to better sell your advertisements
adlai: (a reporter writing about 'accidentally' carrying a multiple-inch blade onto an airplane damages airplane security far, far less
than
the security practices
that let it
through)
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 23:00:52; decimation:
there are clearly people on hacker news who are enemies of #b-a
justJanne: Actual security is sadly a
thing
that doesn't exist in critical places.
adlai considered writing some words about how security
theater damages actual security, but stuck
to lazy bean counting
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck asked anon what is and isn't reason nao ?
mircea_popescu: "[1] He's been scraping
the profiles of young women (specifically) and posting links, names, and hometowns on his blog. Yes, as
technologists, we know
that
this kind of indexing is
trivial.
That's no reason, as a decent human being,
to
terrorize innocent people."
justJanne: Read
the report on OpenSEL by
the OpenBSD guys. It's a whole new level of WTF
decimation: lol she claims
that (52:41)
that openssl just adds
the current
time of day in seconds
to
the entropy pool
justJanne: With a very bad RNG, it would
tell you 2 is prime.
justJanne: decimation:
that's
true. RSA keygens use a probabilistic prime
test.
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 22:57:59; DreadKnight: we have a saying around, going something like "you drawn like
the gypsy near
the shore", meaning overall
that you failed in
the last few steps
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 22:51:31; DreadKnight:
the project gets small contributions constantly, but when it comes
to bigger stuff, people
tend
to vanish at about 90% progress xD
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to quote myself, "I will write up an article addressing
this particular set of bullshit
tomorrow. I promise it will be good. Engage bated breath."
decimation: Note
that your headline was dinged for being inaccurate, while
this guy's blog is more inaccurate by his own admission
☟︎ decimation: "I don't really know, but I
talked
to Nadia Heninger about it and she mentioned
that
they were probably created by some email software only used in Germany. "
mircea_popescu: jeez how
the world changes in a coupla hours based on what's said in b-a log, you'd
think we're
talking
to gavin-the-handpuppet & co.
mircea_popescu: decimation wait, we're progressed past
the "it occured while copying"
to obscure email programs naoi ?
decimation: can you identify
the supposed "german email program"
that was supposedly
the source of
these weak keys?
decimation: justJanne: given your interest in
this gpg episode,
there is something
that you could assist with
decimation: ^ sufficiently idomatic
to pass
the google
translate
test
justJanne: Die wird aber ganz kurz ausfallen müssen ;P Ist auch nicht viel zu sagen – Geboren in
then 90ern, ganz normal Grundschule, bin mit 8 ins Hochbegabtenförderungsprogramm gekommen, hab neben der Schule interessantes Zeug gelernt, dann Gymnasium, hab mit 16 neben der Schule angefangen zu studieren, und hab mit 18 Abitur mit 2,2 gemacht. Bin seit letztem Herbst Vollstudentin ;)
williamdunne: ich habe eine gross hose schlange is about all I remember from
three years of German lessons
adlai: is
the middle number vwap?
williamdunne: justJanne: I'm pretty sure a 55 yo Pittsburgh steel mill worker would have
the connections
to get one of
those
there fancy emails
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for justJanne with note: 55 yo Pittsburgh steel mill worker posing as 19 yo girl on
the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: !rate justJanne 1 55 yo Pittsburgh steel mill worker posing as 19 yo girl on
the interwebs.
cazalla: 14/f/cali oldest fbi
trick in
the book
mircea_popescu: that
totally kills
the whole
thing. i bet you're not even from cali.
decimation: you can see
the logs at log.bitcoin-assets.com
justJanne: Meh,
too lazy
to copy it from my other PC, I’ll just make a new one and sign it with my old key later
decimation: justJanne: Someone compiled a list of ips
that originate dos'er
decimation: justJanne: no problem, make a new subkey or extend
the date
justJanne: danielpbarron: looking into it, but just found out my last GPG key’s validity ends
this month
justJanne: anyway, let’s wait for
that DDoS-bot ;P
justJanne: at least so
that one doesn’t discover
their botnet
that easily
justJanne: but yeah, I was kinda surprised, would have assumed
they’d put
the control for
the botnet on a different system
williamdunne: Guessing for some reason
they
thought it would be a swell idea
to use
the IRC server for additional DDoS power?
adlai wonders whether any of
the strongset edges point
to
the diddle
justJanne: assumed as much, but I have no experience with
them yet, and was surprised seeing one in
the wild
trinque: it'll be interesting
to see how much longer
that stays at #1
trinque: and
the abrupt rise of
the rebuttal
trinque: check out
that precipitous drop
assbot: Logged on 08-12-2014 17:59:30; asciilifeform: incidentally, if anyone bothered
to read
the packet dump i posted a while ago,
they should know
that
the ddos bot uses misconfigured consumer routers (upnp reflection)
justJanne: Sometimes when I get DDoSd I run nmap against
the attacking servers, one
time I found a small IRC server with only one channel, in which were 256 clients all with just a number as name, and one other client sending specific commands every few minutes
☟︎ justJanne: BingoBoingo: It should be easy
to find.
BingoBoingo: justJanne: I dunno what nick it uses. Never much cared
to
try identifying it.
justJanne: BingoBoingo:
tell me when
the bot is online, I’d like
to analyze
the
traffic xD
BingoBoingo: justJanne: Yeah, just anyone without a freenode cloak who joins when
their spybot is online here
to pull
the
trigger
justJanne: So,
they really DDoS random people?
mats: if you read
this -- please stop by for another friendly conversation
BingoBoingo: People examining
the
traffic spotted
that most of
the zombies were ntp reflection and stuff anyone could walk away with, and
they likely did leaving less
to hit here with.
justJanne: I got some
traffic on my system from 159.118.187.45 accessing my server via HTTPS and sending a few
thousand GET requests, but nothing really devastating
BingoBoingo: justJanne: Well
the person doing it at first called
themselves
the reddit police and started by DoS'ing sites affiliated with regulars here.
Then
the sites beefed up and weren't so easy
to DoS. So now
they's had
to settle for messing with home internet connections.
danielpbarron: i heard
that it just
targets
the user who most recently joined, and especially if it is a new hostmask
justJanne: Reminds me of
that guy spamming a gaming channel with links
to
their DDoSing company
BingoBoingo: justJanne: It isn't anything done by any of
the channel regulars. It's just some butthurt dickbag with an excess of unwarranted self importance who imagines
they are saving
the world by DoSing every ip
they spot here
justJanne: I mean, I see some
traffic, but it’s minimal.
justJanne: Nah, I was just reading on
the RSA factorization article where someone claimed
this channel would still DDoS everyone who joins. Sadly I can’t see any of
that (was hoping
to see if it actually is
true xD)
mats: decimation: i'm just happy
to find a fun action movie
that passes
the Bechdel
test
mats: (they
tend
to shit on everything)
mats: in other news,
the new Mad Max picture is quite good
cazalla: wasn't just me
though, he had my mother out
there doing
the same
thing
mats: i drank something like 6-7 litres of water
that day... missouri is hot as fuck during
the summer
mats: i spent
the whole day (0900-1600) with some other
trainees cutting grass at battalion hq because one of
the nubs in my squad saved his granola bar from
the mess hall and put it in his locker where it was discovered
assbot: Logged on 18-05-2015 00:39:54; pete_dushenski: some kids helped in
teh kitchen, some cleaning garbage.
pete_dushenski: you call
that grass ? i
trim more manbush
than
that on a monthly basis.
pete_dushenski: decimation no doubt. it wasn't *that* expensive, at least compared
to
the bbyo summer camps.
pete_dushenski: i wrote for
the newspaper, wrote mad magazine-esque fake nooz
decimation: sounds like a good way
to save on staff costs
