C mistakes among the vulnerabilities present in #curl code
(C mistakes are vulnerabilities that were caused by a mistake that "probably would not have been possible" had we not been using C for curl. Manually assessed for each case.)
@isotopp I'm poking at a wasp nest here, but just for the fun of it, "if only you'd been using C++"...
🤷♂️
For context, @bagder and I had a quick exchange on C++ in the cURL code base some years ago, with the result it wasn't desired, and for understandable reasons (TL;DR).
Of course it means I didn't get to submit some patches, which makes a a tiny bit sad still. Hence the, uh, let's call it a tongue in cheek comment 😊
We were interviewed by @ El Pais 💪
Read how Tuta, the German project that guarantees confidentiality, stands up to Google.
When Edward Snowden alerted the world to the vulnerability of our digital lives, the company was already operating a secure email service from Hanover. Today, it has 10 million users and is offering an alternative model to the omnipresent Google environment.
And that's how it all started 11 years ago... 😍

Gracias. Dejo aqui la carnita del artículo, puesto que es de pago:
"En concreto, cuentan con un cifrado basado en algoritmos que son seguros contra ordenadores cuánticos. “Somos la única empresa en el mundo que usa estos algoritmos”, señalan. “En los últimos años hemos visto que se siguen haciendo avances en el desarrollo de los ordenadores cuánticos y, en algún momento, serán tan potentes y avanzados que el cifrado que se utiliza hoy en día en la mayoría de los productos será relativamente fácil de descifrar. No sabemos cuándo pasará, pero sucederá. Y nuestro producto ya es inmune a ello”, detallan.
Las grandes tecnológicas recopilan muchos más datos ahora que hace años. “Le estoy dando una imagen completa de mi personalidad. Hace 20 años eso no era así, porque no se recibían tantos correos privados”, recuerda Pfau. “Cuando empezamos, mucha gente decía: ‘Yo no tengo nada que ocultar’. Ahora, aunque sigue habiendo algunos que piensan así, es cierto que hay mucha más gente que se preocupa por este tema, no solo por las revelaciones de Snowden, sino también por el comportamiento de las grandes empresas que manejan los datos. Hay muchísimas filtraciones”, comenta.

Brits can sleep safely tonight, after the heroic work of the Metropolitan Police. The Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, a retired priest, was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
Under British law, this now puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist. The courts may impose a prison sentence of up to 14 years, to protect the public against the existential threat posed by this very dangerous woman.

It's one of those rare pieces of SciFi that gets more and more believable as time passes instead of less and less.
The telescreen, the speakwrite, the versificator, invasive surveillance, editing npast newspaper issues to suppress inconvenient truths, we now have the tech to do it all.
Where most sci-fi from the 60s and 70s feels outdated now, 1984 (which was written much earlier) just feels... a little bit quaint in terms of the vocabulary used to describe modern technology, otherwise it's spot on.
As an aside, I wish we had a modern 1984 rewrite that took what we now know and have into account. Instead of telescreens and the thought police, mandatory wristbands with a speech recognition chip and an AI system that traces political dissidents via meeting location graphs. The original is out of the public domain in most places, so such a book could realistically and legally be written. There's one I know of from the 80s (which is just as spot on), but it was written by a Polish author, and, at least to my knowledge, sadly never translated to English.

new FreeBSD bridge(4) review: “bridge: add defvlanfilter and defuntagged options" reviews.freebsd.org/D51176
this lets you do:
$ ifconfig bridge0 defvlanfilter defuntagged 1
... which causes all newly-added member interfaces to have VLAN filtering enabled and be in VLAN 1 (only).
then your VM/jail management tools (vm-bhyve, …) can continue using 'ifconfig addm' to add bridge members and don't need to know about VLAN configuration.
fun fact: this is how most people expect bridge(4) to work already, but it is not how bridge works already! in reality, all bridge members have access to all VLANs by default, and before VLAN filtering there was no way to restrict this at all.
i wonder how many systems accidentally allow jails/VMs to access their host management VLAN because of this?
for that reason (among others) i'd like to make this the default configuration of bridge(4) in a future version... 15.0 may be too early, though. but we should document this better.

Tesla's so-called "autopilot" turns off automatically a fraction of a second before a crash, so the driver can be blamed even though the driver has no time to respond. (It's been that way for more than a year since originally publicly documented by the NHTSA, this is clearly a choice someone made.)
theguardian.com/technology/202…
And while Tesla management clearly just loves doing terrible things, an individual engineer implemented this.
You don't want to be that engineer:
1. It's immoral, and a dereliction of your professional duty.
2. If your action ever goes to court, there will be some very expensive lawyers trying their best to make you the scapegoat and claim you are either incompetent or malicious, but you very definitely did this on your own.
And most of the time the things you'll be asked to do aren't as bad. I know someone who was asked by their manager to put a CE mark on products that were from the non-CE factory. These devices weren't safety critical, this wasn't going to kill anyone. But it's still fraud, and the incentive was still there for the company to make this engineer the scapegoat.
The engineer said "no"... and that was the end of it. Sometimes that's all it takes to enforce standards.
If "no" isn't enough, asking for something in writing (signed and dated) is a good next step. Chances are that will be the end of it, and meanwhile you can start looking for a new job.
