So I contributed something back. I added the "Caveats" section at the bottom. Hopefully this helps somebody else, 🙂

New bookmark: ActivityPub on a (mostly) static website.

There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.

Should you have noticed a short "absence" of the #IzzyOnDroid primary web server, that was probably the reboot…

A CVE was published to oss-sec 5 days ago and got its fixes available today (security-tracker.debian.org/tr…), so it was applied immediately as the vuln would have affected some components here.

My thanks here once more goes to @obfusk for bringing it to my attention – and to my service provider who swiftly applied the updates within just minutes 🤩

#security

Another #security patch has been applied at the #IzzyOnDroid #IzzySoftRepo to protect against what is described at openwall.com/lists/oss-securit…

Though a full scan of the repo hasn't brought up a single affected APK, that doesn't mean any such cannot show up later – so better safe than sorry, right?

If you use brew’s curl on macOS, are you really using it? I installed and had curl setup a couple of years ago. Today it appears that curl was now pointing to Apple’s version, which has this issue (daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/03/08…). Looks like brew doesn’t add a symlink for curl to /opt/homebrew/bin. Running `ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin/curl /opt/homebrew/bin` resolved the issue.

T-Mobile Employees Across The Country Receive Cash Offers To Illegally Swap SIMs

I still stand by this: if #sms #mfa wasn’t still massively used (especially by the financial sector), sim swaps would be less attractive to sim swappers.

It’s also crazy so much trust is placed in telecoms guarding your phone number and MFA factor for your bank. 🫨

T-Mobile Employees Across The Country Receive Cash Offers To Illegally Swap SIMs

#curl sometimes fails to access some servers. In most situations the problem is not in curl itself but on the server side. Example:

1. Fails: curl radissonhotels.com

2. Works: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 xx Chrome/119' radissonhotels.com

3. Fails: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 xx Chrome/118' radissonhotels.com

4. Fails, too: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 xx Chrome/1189' radissonhotels.com

Perhaps they perform #filtering to obtain improved #security? It's hard to tell, but any serious attacker surely knows how to spoof the user agent string and bypass such simple #regex

Hey! Let's talk about #SSH and #security!

If you've ever looked at SSH server logs you know what I'm about to say: Any SSH server connected to the public Internet is getting bombarded by constant attempts to log in. Not just a few of them. A *lot* of them. Sometimes even dozens per second. And this problem is not going away; it is, in fact, getting worse. And attackers' behavior is changing.

The graph attached to this post shows the number of attempted SSH logins per day to one of @cloudlab s clusters over a four-year period. It peaks at about 3.4 million login attempts per day.

This is part of a study we did on our production system, using logs of more than 640 million login attempts, covering more than 1,500 hosts on our side and observing more than 840 thousand incoming IP addresses.

A paper presenting our analysis and a new, highly effective means to block SSH brute force attacks ("Where The Wild Things Are: Brute-Force SSH Attacks In The Wild And How To Stop Them") will be presented next week at #NSDI24 by @sachindhke . The full paper is at flux.utah.edu/paper/singh-nsdi…

Let's dive in. 🧵

2 days ago I reported about a #security patch having been applied to the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo aka #IzzySoftRepo – but I didn't give much details. After it was tested now at the IoD test & staging area, and running smoothly for two days for the public one, I reported back to its author @obfusk that all seems smooth, and she decided to make POC & patch public. You can find the full details at github.com/obfusk/fdroid-fakes… & openwall.com/lists/oss-securit… now. @fdroidorg @eighthave be welcome using it!

I am getting tired of reading about the #xz #security issue as if it is all about issues within #opensource. It is much bigger than that, and those takes conflate the problem with the solution.

So I wrote "The xz issue isn't about Open Source" here: changelog.complete.org/archive…

An incredibly technically complex #backdoor in xz (potentially also in libarchive and elsewhere) was just discovered. This backdoor has been quietly implemented over years, with the assistance of a wide array of subtly interconnected accounts:

New bookmark: Firefox bug 1886557: Make JIT Spraying implausible.

This could be the biggest leap forward in years when it comes to SpiderMonkey catching up to V8 and JSC’s JIT hardening. So far, I’ve been telling security-conscious Firefox users to disable the JIT compiler, and to use Chromium when JIT is necessary; maybe I won’t have to in a few years’ time.

Я нашел эти ссылки в интернете.

В связи с намерениями правительства удалить всю информацию по обходу блокировок из российского сегмента интернета, кто-то, решил принять меры. 🙂

ОН, судя по всему считает, что статьи это важная часть культуры и нашего прошлого.
Особенно, комментарии больших групп образованных людей на habrahabr.ru.

Этот человек, скорее всего считает важным сохранять и распространять полезную информацию.
А так же, делиться мнениями других людей, т.к. это развивает и помогает обществу рости в лучшую сторону.

Не смотря на мои предположения, для меня остается загадкой мотивация этой неизвестной личности.

Но я разделяю некоторые идеи, в плане того, что знаниями нужно делиться.

Мне всегда становится грустно, когда я обнаруживаю умерший сайт,
или удаленную страницу и потерянную информацию.

Поэтому, делюсь этими ссылками с вами.
А вы, можете поделиться с другими.
(будет что почитать, если интернет совсем кончится)

К тому же, 14 марта на хабре вышла статья
"Надежный обход блокировок в 2024 протоколы,
клиенты и настройка сервера от простого к сложному"
под которой один человек предложил сохранить статьи по обходу блокировок.
(эта статья сохранена в этом сборнике)

UPD1: "Статья уже была удалена. Но доступна если искать из другой страны."

UPD2: Сейчас, автор статей по "актуальному обходу блокировок MiraclePtr" - удален((

Учитывая времена, думаю стоит сохранить все локально, потому что не известно,
какие именно категории данных будут удаляться в будущем.
И нет надежды, что веб архив не будет заблокирован.
Да и не понятно, как сильно все изменится со временем.

Страниц в папках всего: 2223 или 11.5Gb

1) Видео о содержимом 13Mb можно по этой ссылке:

О содержимом.

Судя по ссылкам в страницах, они были сохранены с середины марта 2024.
Информация собрана по темам (список вверху) и все рассортировано по папкам.

Сохранены практически все страницы (за исключением откровенно рекламных статей).

Возможно вы встретите небольшое количество дублей, т.к. темы пересекаются.
(так же, встречаются одинаковые статьи опубликованные в разное время, но имеющие разные комментарии)

Возможна какая-то информация вам будет не интересна.

Есть страницы с устаревшей информацией (с 2008 года).
Они и комментарии из этих статей сохранены для истории.

В архиве есть index.html, через который можно искать статьи по ключевым словам через Ctrl+F.
Так же, под этим сообщением есть скриншеты и видео о структуре.

Если у вас в закладках, есть страницы с инструкциями для построения защищенных сетей,
или что-то, что вы считает полезными и это может быть потеряно,
добавляйте ссылки под этим постом, с описанием.
Может быть, ваша информация будет кому-то полезна.

Страницы были сохранены через невероятное дополнение: SingleFile

Если кто-то захочет оформить раздачу на rutracker,
то этот человек очень поможет нашему большому обществу,
когда страницы будут удалены с хабра (я считаю, это вопрос времени).
Как это уже произошло со страницами сайта 4pda.to.

Хочу сказать спасибо MiraclePtr за чудесные статьи и отдельное спасибо UranusExplorer за простые инструкции.
А так же, всему Хабр-сообществу, которое десятилетиями писало статьи и делилось своим мнением в комментариях.
