i went ahead and typed in the ls -lZ manually for the files that actually exist just in case there's some trick that would come over via a copy and paste, here you go:

code:
-rwx------. root root system_u:object_r:dosfs_t:s0     /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grubenv
lrwxrwxrwx. root root system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0      /boot/grub2/grubenv -> ../efi/EFI/centos/grubenv

If you're gonna go that route, use Algo. I use ExpressVPN for your original purpose because I'm lazy and agreed, just trying to avoid snooping / open wifis


Dunno if the AWS stuff ends up cheaper, but I've used Algo on Azure, and Streisand on Digital Ocean.

Digitial Ocean is just $5 per month, so I see it as a much better option than commercial VPNs if you just want to prevent end-to-end snooping; if you're trying to be anonymous it's obviously a horrible idea.

When I first tried Algo about two years ago, for whatever reason, it didn't work on Digital Ocean. I'd connect, but after a short period of time like 10-30 minutes (I don't remember) I'd lose internet access. I'd still be connected to the server, but could no longer access internet. However, on Azure it worked fine, so I assume it was a DO issue that might be fixed.

Right now, I'm using Streisand because I couldn't get Algo to work on my phone, though there are some people who criticize it as being less secure because it has so many services, or something like that.

https://www.rcesecurity.com/2019/06/about-a-sucuri-rce-and-how-not-to-handle-bug-bounty-reports/ posted:

Sucuri is a self-proclaimed “most recommended website security service among web professionals” offering protection, monitoring and malware removal services. They ran a Bug Bounty program on HackerOne and also blogged about how important security reports are. While their program was still active, I’ve been hacking on them quite a lot which eventually ranked me #1 on their program.

By the end of 2017, I have found and reported an explicitly disabled SSL certificate validation in their server-side scanner, which could be used by an attacker with MiTM capabilities to execute arbitrary code on Sucuri’s customer systems.

The result: Sucuri provided me with an initial bounty of 250 USD for this issue (they added 500 USD later due to a misunderstanding on their side) - out of an announced 5000 USD max bounty, fixed the issue, closed my report as informative and went completely silent to apparently prevent the disclosure of this issue.

Every Sucuri customer who is using the server-side scanner and who installed it on their server before June 2018 should immediately upgrade the server-side scanner to the most recent version which fixes this vulnerability!

so that CBP hack was waaaay worse than initially reported

Hacked documents reveal sensitive details of expanding border surveillance

quote:

That assessment, however, woefully understates the number of sensitive documents that are now freely available on the Web — so much material, totaling hundreds of gigabytes, that The Washington Post required several days of computer time to capture it all.

The documents offer an unusually intimate glimpse of the machinery that U.S. officials depend on for the constant monitoring of legal immigration through the border. They also illuminate the government’s plans for expanding its use of license plate readers and facial-recognition cameras, including such details as how many cameras are focused on which traffic lanes at some of the busiest border crossings in the world.

The hoard of hacked documents includes detailed schematics, confidential agreements, equipment lists, budget spreadsheets, internal photos and hardware blueprints for security systems.

Among potentially sensitive government material are internal Department of Homeland Security handbooks, border surveillance diagrams and dozens of signed nondisclosure agreements between the subcontractor and government authorities, as well as companies such as Microsoft and the defense-contracting giant Northrop Grumman. Microsoft and Northrop Grumman did not respond to requests for comment.


The files also offer extensive detail on — and, in some cases, a literal road map to — equipment that has been installed at U.S. military bases and the United States’ most highly trafficked border gateways.

there’s more too. whoever got in seems to have made off with essentially everything the contractor had. seems bad.

The NSA has started assigning developers to the Coreboot project, which is an open source alternative to Windows BIOS/UEFI firmware.

probably legit, like selinux. they come under enough scrutiny these days that they’d have a hard time sneaking any backdoors in without getting caught.

BlankSystemDaemon

Presumably NSA could in theory write code to avoid static analysers (coverty, which coreboot uses), syzkaller (which they don't use yet), and sanitizers (like a-san, ub-san, et cetera - possibly in combination with syzkaller; again, something coreboot doesn't use yet)?

They could also have the public facing team write good, well intentioned code and an internal team analyzing it for issues that can be exploited.

either way the nsa can no doubt get their primary work done by hacking on a higher level, and may be worried primarily about the black box nature of the preloaded uefi stuff loaded in locations outside nsa control.

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that when the nsa attempts to introduce backdoors into code, they probably try not to put their name on the commits

They presumably already have a backdoor in the Intel ME code, so I imagine this is just because they want a bios that's actually secure for their internal use.
