Do any of you who have to deal with DoD 8140 compliance know if you have to keep the cert current to maintain the compliance? For example my sec+ renewal comes up december of next year, do I lose 8140 compliance if I let it lapse? I get the feeling it does, just checking though.

Might be worth your time and have a good ROI to get one of the certifications that automatically renew your Sec+ instead of taking it again. CySA+ and Pentest+ both renew Sec+, Net+, and A+ when you get it, so, depending on your interests and what other certs you might have, I’d do one of those instead of chewing old soup.

I was adjacent to the team that built E2E and disappearing mode for FB Messenger and it was a lot of work—and we already owned WhatsApp to ask questions of. If you want it to work with multiple client devices you have to make some tricky choices around key management. Plus the abuse stuff, since you still want people to be able to report abusive messages that are encrypted, and you want to make sure that the message they report is actually what was sent.

I hear that an early attempt at doing Signal-style E2E at Twitter fell part because Moxie (who was advising) went on a long untraceable sailing vacation and while it was stalled various political forces killed it.

Lol.

Yeah e2ee runs headlong into "password resets and lost devices are a thing". You can either have a secure messaging service or you can shoot for a billion users with the pudding-brains of your average journalist. You can hold their keys, or you can do like (many? most?) every other service and outsource the secure key storage and recovery to icloud/gdrive, but ultimately somebody's changing user nappies and can access their poo poo.

Have any of you done OSWE for a web app pentesting cert? Based on the work I'm doing these days (working for a web-facing software company) OSWE might be more relevant than OSCP, although probably a fair amount more challenging as well. I am comfortable writing and reading source code to a degree (mainly Python and Perl) but am coming from a sysadmin background, not software engineering.

I really want to give an OS cert a go this year, and the fact theyre on sale right now might be enough to push me over the edge. I am pretty confident I could pass OSCP with some practice, I have done a bunch of vulnhub boxes before and had my GCIH (now expired) up until this fall. I think I'd get a lot out of OSCP still, and its been one of my goals for a long time, but OSWE has my interest as well.

they don’t have to have access to the keys to the messages, even if they have access to the keys to the account, given PFS. it means you can’t fill in a conversation on a device from before it joined, but it also means that you don’t have to worry about your message history being retroactively owned because someone shuffled your SIM

pfs requires individual device keys and multi-recipient messages which is fine for apps but where do you store that device key for the website? There's no great answer there - create a new device key automatically trusted by all your contacts because someone knew your twitter password? Require everybody to re-verify your ID if you login from a internet cafe when traveling?

The security posture of a messaging system robust against hostile state actors strongly conflicts with people who just want to DM their friends. Losing your message history is a nonstarter for a lot of people. There's important poo poo in there - invites, dates, reminders - that normal people will flip their poo poo at losing for incomprehensible "security" reasons.

E: and that's not even getting into next-of-kin problems. People want wildly different things to happen to their social media when they pass. A queer teen who's not 'out' to their parents doesn't want them to get their DMs and harass their friends, but a husband may want his wife to be able to notify his contacts that he's gone. These are completely incompatible needs, pick which one gets your support and which gets told to pound sand.

Gang, at my last gig we used intruder and really like the simplicity UI that was wrapped around what is essentially nessus run on my client machines and could be ran unlimited times. I'd like to get a similar functionality and they do have a cheaper service ($858\mo vs $577\mo) running on OpenVAS (any feedback?) but max user count is two users which is really limiting.

Open to suggestions for a comparable solution?

yeah, different companies have different practices here. I believe that my “legacy contact” on FB gets to see my friend list and post as me, but doesn’t see any private messages

your web page can broker to your mobile device for key and crypto management, which I think is what WhatsApp used to do at least. you can also require 2FA in order to issue a key, but again the stakes are lower in the presence of PFS because you only have the window under detection/remediation that’s at risk, rather than your entire previous history of platform usage. if private data breaches only revealed the new data generated while the attacker had live access, they would be a lot less harmful!

If you're looking for something more portable the Flipper Zero has been coming in stock on their US store intermittently as well. Probably less capable than the Proxmark stuff but the first thing I did when mine arrived the other day was clone the RFID tag for my apartment gym. Definitely more expensive, but it also does other things with short range radio and IR.

I have had both a Flipper Zero and a proxmark 3 easy. The Flipper Zero is sort of a neat toy but it’s really bad at doing the things it’s advertised at doing. The RFID specifically is incredibly hit or miss.

Unless you are looking at T5577 type stuff exclusively I would save your money on the flipper and just go with a proxmark (which has been able to handle any 125khz and NFC stuff I’ve thrown at it)

That said the bad usb and IR stuff is kind of handy to have with the Flipper. I was a kickstart backer and ended up selling mine for $500 when they were in super high demand. I don’t regret that.

Yes, absolutely. The flipper is a toy. The "pentest tool" parts are trying to get people to justify buying the fun nerd toy. It is in no way comparable to proper tools.

If you get a flipper expecting it to be more useful than a proxmark you're gonna be really sad at the end of the day. The fact that something _could_ be used on an engagement does not mean that t _should_ be so used.

I kickstarted it too and while I didn't sell it, hearing people recommend it for...anything professional, really, gets a big "oh come onnnnnnn" response from me.

Professionally hand it to the new intern and tell him to use it. If he succeeds then he passes, if he fails but knows why he failed, he passes. If he tries, fails and attempts to baffle with bullshit, see if he's good enough at that to go into sales?
