What are you up to currently and why wouldn't you wanna move? secops can be fun, get to play with a bunch of cool security tools


meant it more for the industry as a whole as opposed to this thread, its kind of nuts that the best source for infosec news (wtf did i write newbies?) is a god drat subreddit

wasnt meant as reddit hate either, though i did send that video to my brother over the holidays after he kept sending me stupid dumb reddit links

my gf got invited to move to the sec team because once the boss of the team couldn't tell if a super obvious phishing scam letter was actually a phishing letter and she was like "uh yeah it clearly is, you idiots" and they were like "wow you're real smart!"

her boss rejected the transfer though because he's short staffed, so she'll stay at her current position

Yeah, I use that too, but this isn't internet accessible, so I was just hoping for a solid config for those two options.

check out sslscan which does most of the things ssl labs does but you can run it locally.


yeah i think that's where i originally got mine from, then i massaged it until i was happy. here's mine if anyone cares:

code:
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_protocols             TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers               "EECDH+ECDSA+AESGCM EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM EECDH+ECDSA+AESGCM EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM EECDH+ECDSA+SHA384 EECDH+ECDSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+SHA384 EECDH+aRSA+SHA256 EECDH EDH+aRSA !RC4 !aNULL !eNULL !LOW !3DES !MD5 !EXP !PSK !SRP !DSS";
other useful settings you should read up about and probably use are:

- ssl_dhparam
- ssl_session_*
- ssl_stapling

also if you're a cool ssl bro and are 100% sure you'll only use SSL forever you wanna do:

code:
add_header                Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000; includeSubdomains;";

Random question:

Is there a way for me to NOT have a self-signed certificate on an production embedded device that may not be connected to the internet?

uhh... sign it yourself? all my dumb embedded poo poo, routers, switches, whatever are signed by a little CA I made that my devices all have installed.

or do you mean you need to have it signed by a valid globally-known CA?

Winkle-Daddy posted:

afaik, no. since you'd have to provide a host name and i'm assuming you won't know that in advance.

depends on what the cert is being used for, if it's just to identify the device as valid it's common name could be a serial number or something instead of a domain name

e: this assumes you're not using it for HTTPS if that's not clear

i was explaining what a ransomware was to a coworker who didn't know anything about it and why TV's can now get them and he was like "but if the TV isn't smart how will I watch netflix on it??"

"you know they sell like $30 boxes that do that that you can hook up to the TV, and then even if that thing gets rekt you're only out $30 instead of an entire TV"

are you not aware of security problems with internet of things poo poo (and by extension smart tvs)

Rokus are great little momputer-type devices and they seem a lot more bolted down than your average iot device

can you even install apps on a roku or are you just stuck with what it's bundled with? I don't remember

my mom has one and you can install "apps" but it's only like, a selection of 20-30 apps that are just things like hulu or netflix

i like that thing actually, it has a really weird "free TV" service on it that has "channels" composed of bizarre garbage sub-youtube dregs, like there's this one 'channel' about videogames where every single 'show' takes place in the exact same room and they're all just 'nerds sit around and talk about videogames' or 'nerds sit around while wearing onesies and talk about videogames,' it's like some kind of modern public access station

My Sony TV gets an update every few months, no doubt to introduce new vulnerabilities.

When I had a Roku in like 2010 there were dozens of apps I could install, mostly terrible youtube clones. Has the ecosystem fallen apart?

idk maybe, there's different roku versions and i know my mom has a cheaper, older one so maybe it's significantly more locked down than the "nice" ones? idk i just remember it having barely anything besides major services and angry birds for some reason.

older/cheaper rokus (the cheaper rokus often being the old hardware packaged in a newer case) are too slow or missing codec support to handle all the services the newer/more expensive rokus do. so they only get access to a limited subset of the choices.

if you really wanted to, you can force in access with some weird hack poo poo, since some of the channels do actually work even though Roku themselves won't support them on the older/cheaper device. but that's a bunch of hassle

ah ok. it has the netflix and the hulus and the hbo so it does the things my mom needs it to do and nothing more and that is good and more products need to be like that :colbert:

he was hilariously incompetent though and also an outright scammer - "of course you need this $75,000 bespoke storage server solution that only I am allowed to admin," "of course you need a direct leased fiber connection between your office and mine to serve you internet because VPN's are unsafe" etc. CEO was best friends with him and bought his poo poo all the time without question too.

my experience with whatsapp so far was when talking to a friend I used it as an example of a messaging app that's based on your phone number like Telegram or Signal, because she thought this was really annoying so I was like "yeah well WhatsApp does it that way and they're real popular now so everyone's gotta do it that way"

except it turns out she had never heard of it either and then she thought I was making up the name "WhatsApp" because "nothing with a name that stupid could possibly be as popular as you're saying"
