are you that mainframe hacker guy?

Yeah, and not having to leave the convention to go see some villages.

Personally I'm kinda glad this happened given that the forums was too small to fit everything so it was still all spaced out.

Though, no idea what hotel to stay at.

https://www.wired.com/story/christopher-bouzy-spoutible-race-to-unseat-twitter/ posted:

When I had my first extended conversation with Bouzy in early December, Spoutible was just days away from crossing the preregistration threshold. In anticipation of hitting that milestone, he was preparing to announce that he’d have a web-only version of the platform ready for limited testing by mid-January. If all went according to plan, he’d then release a Spoutible app for phones and tablets in the spring. When I said that timeline seemed ambitious, he assured me that the work on the frontend would take only a few weeks. He’d licensed some off-the-shelf code, composed primarily in PHP, that provides a close facsimile of Twitter’s user interface, and he planned to tweak that template to suit his needs.

“Building a platform like Twitter is not difficult,” he assured me. “All it is is a fancy message board—you’re just taking people’s posts and storing them in a database.” The real trick, he continued, would be to design the platform’s backend so that it could seamlessly handle the demands of explosive growth.

[…]

Bouzy’s adversaries reveled in Spoutible’s opening-day struggles, and they tried to pile on even more misery. One frequent critic claimed in a Twitter thread that Bouzy was a charlatan who’d bought Spoutible’s entire source code from a Russian vendor for $89, a purchase some suggested might be in violation of economic sanctions. Bouzy, who vehemently denies that accusation, clapped back by announcing that he planned on contacting his accuser’s employer, a large German bank, to report that he was being stalked.

really the last two thirds of that is totally unsurprising, because once you see the encrypted password you know that the api is just dumping the entire core user record and of course that includes everything else

Lol that the Spoutible say the leaked data "included email addresses and some phone numbers," and next "decrypted passwords and direct messages were not disclosed."

No word about everything in between that was exposed, like everything else. Not exactly honest disclosure IMO.

i was kinda impressed that they managed to include the password reset tokens since that's not something you need to have pre-computed and stored in every user record

apparently upon use, and presumably only upon use lol
    The one saving grace is that the [password reset] token was rotated after reset so you can't use the one in the image above, but of course the new one was now publicly exposed in the API! And there's no 2FA challenge on password reset either but of course even if there was, well, you already read this far so you know how that could have been easily circumvented.

in fairness, it would be a waste of resources to both precompute and regularly rotate the tokens

$job is taking back our physical keys for the main entrance because they've installed a garbage iot lock that works off batteries and bluetooth, and works as a motor that rotates the key inside the existing lock.

I assume those eventually crap out in hilarious and predictable ways. that thing rules because once in the locked position it's holding the key inside the lock, so you can get a key in from the outside.
