Honest to god thinks Half Life 2 is a bad game. But at least he likes Monster Hunter.

I'm hopefully waiting for the ruling to come as: "nope, looks like you're in violation of the GPL and the copyright of torvalds et al" and the resulting infringement case

a bit more detail on the lnk vuln patched last month on windows ( https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2017-8464 )
https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/824672

quote:

Microsoft Windows automatically executes code specified in shortcut files

By convincing a user to display a specially-crafted shortcut file, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. Depending on the operating system and AutoRun/AutoPlay configuration, this can happen automatically by connecting a USB device.

The origin of this vulnerability is outlined in VU#940193 (CVE-2010-2568). The fix for CVE-2010-2568 and the subsequent fix for CVE-2016-0096 are both insufficient in that they not take into account LNK files that use the SpecialFolderDataBlock or KnownFolderDataBlock attributes to specify the location of a folder. Such files are able to bypass the whitelisting first implemented in the fix for CVE-2010-2568.
so stuxnet's usb spreading vuln was insufficiently patched and still viable, poc: https://github.com/securifybv/ShellLink

no, he was barred from posting until he deleted that tweet. the 12-hour limit on his account would have begun after he deleted that tweet. he appealed the decision, and they let him go.

its probably checking signatures but also probably checking signatures in a way that's wrong and exploitable

I can't find anything in the config the binds it to the server in a meaningful way and that would create situations where someone hoses a management server and now the clients are orphaned. They seem super willing to jump on a new servers and I just can't think of a good way to do that without having a persistent side channel or PKI certs which it is not using.

oh I was thinking it was updates, but if the control traffic is unencrypted and unsigned then lol. it would be pretty easy to grab a trace and see what its sending and if its signed or not.

Update supports HTTPs and its signed by Symantec so that's okay. Even over HTTP you're relatively safe. But Symantec isn't signing your configs with their private key and they don't give you a PKI cert for signing and you don't distribute a public key from the key pair with the install so for the life of me I cannot imagine how they would effectively be doing sig validation unless every single environment is pre-loaded with the same private key

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
they could be exchanging keys the first time they get registered but you're right about them being very willing to join to any available management server. best case theres some wonkiness going on that makes them vulnerable during registration that might get hijacked. worst case they aren't doing any signing and even worse case they're signing with hardcoded keys.

Okay, so the latest 14 release supports (optional) HTTPS so I can slap a cert on there but I'll still have to handle the transition of legacy clients that can't support it and a million different forked configs that got delegated and hosed up. Can't Wait! I guess its just been twisting in the breeze for a decade now but they're starting to fix it. You have to configure all this through apache httpd.conf files for maximum gently caress You, please ignore that there is a perfectly good IIS/schannel stack sitting there but please run my crypto on the loving shittiest openssl Implimentation imaginable.

They claim configured policies are signed in some way but it has to be weak signing at best because there's no proper trust chain.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
they probably have their own key system built into the product that's not obvious or easy to manage, but it could certainly be done fine with some basic key distribution from the management server. the trust chain would be direct to the management server's cert.

also remember when people used to claim httpd was so much better than iis cause the configuration was done in bash and it had fewer vulnerabilities? lol.

also you could probably setup IIS as a proxy in front so you could have good tls

And I guess my failure was recorded or something? Maybe I have to take a training. I am sure they will inform me of the dangers of macro-enabled excel files.

The link was embedded in a "get the file!"-type image that begged to be clicked. I clicked it so hard.



And it's true. We didn't get bonuses this year.

And they spelled salaries wrong.

I shouldn't check email at home after a visit to the bar?

According to the reporter, federal prosecutors told the court that Hutchins admitted to developing the malware at the heart of the criminal case and to playing a role in its sale. She said Hutchins' attorney disagreed with that claim. Federal prosecutors also attempted to block Hutchins' request for bail on grounds he had shot firearms at a shooting range last week while in Vegas for the Black Hat and Defcon security gatherings. Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe ruled that Hutchins is not a danger to the community and has sufficient community support to not be a flight risk, the Associated Press reported.
