Re: [Sks-devel] sks.ustclug.org move to pgp.ustc.edu.cn

2018-04-23 Thread Shengjing Zhu
FWIW, since sks.ustclug.org(Aug 2016), I run sks inside a docker
container, I'm pretty sure the service runs well :)

When move to pgp.ustc.edu.cn, I have a dedicated server. But I still run
sks in docker, with host network.

The new Dockerfile can be found at
https://github.com/zhsj/dockerfile/tree/master/sks-full
It bundles a web server Caddy, so the deployment is much easier :)


And, I designed a new web page, if you interested, just look at
https://pgp.ustc.edu.cn/

Re: [Sks-devel] Cease of operation: *.gnupg.pub

2018-04-23 Thread Franck Nijhof
Hi Travis,

I am pretty aware of the location of the source code as you have might noticed 
in my initial writing:

> I have studied the code running the pools quite a bit


I also have not modified any of the SKS key server code along the process. My 
machines always ran the original SKS key server code.
The issue is with the SKS key-server website/pool decision code, which is 
currently hosted by Sumptuous Capital.

Let me quote another thing form my initial message:

> In my humble opinion the code should be made public on a decent open source 
> platform (e.g., GitHub)


I am not sure if the little Git server thingy on that Sumptuous Capital domain 
qualifies.
Bitbucket is a fine service by Atlassian, but let's be honest here, if you are 
serious about Open Source, GitHub is the place to be.
Open Source requires, issue management, pull requests and above all: 
contributors! Unfortunately, the latter are mostly found on GitHub.

Nevertheless, thank you for your response Travis, that is very much appreciated.

With kind regards,

Franck Nijhof

[Sks-devel] Problem with Hockeypuck server stats and pool status

2018-04-23 Thread Robbert Müller
Hello,

It seems that the sks get peer data function
(https://git.sumptuouscapital.com/?p=sks-keyservers-pool.git;a=blob;f=sks-keyservers.net/status-srv/sks_get_peer_data.php;h=0d4e1fa51d72fc9aa4e7b81d07afa3af0075a83e;hb=HEAD#l283)
expects a certain json format from hcokeypuck servers,

except that hockeypuck doesn't return that format.

a formatted example:
https://gist.github.com/mjrider/364852dc39a9e7fcc635e727f524d1e6

expected fields:
hostname
server_contact
software
version
numkeys

available keys:
hostname ( is the same )
contact
-- no software --
version
Total

I can provide a patch, if that would be preferred

Regards

Robbert Müller

Possible difference is fastbuild vs normalbuild.. for fastbuild only references 
since dump is kept so if dump is recent enough not too many changes.

The code is available at:

It'll be great to have your contributions to help improve the project.

[Sks-devel] Cease of operation: *.gnupg.pub

2018-04-23 Thread Franck Nijhof
Hi there,

Via this message, I am announcing the cease of operations on the servers: 
*.gnupg.pub.

I have started this experiment some time ago and have enjoyed it pretty much 
and reached my goal; Getting my server in the pools most of the time,  by 
getting the highest possible score (without HA).

The time has also come to make some confessions. Those scores my server got, 
are not real. I have studied the code running the pools quite a bit and 
discovered quite a few flaws in it. Which I successfully exploited to get a 
higher ranking, resulting in my pretty low budget VPS to be in multiple pools 
almost all the time. I am not going to expose those flaws right here. 
Nevertheless, I do think it is pretty severe that this system is that easy to 
manipulate. Even worse; I did not even get into doing extreme things since that 
was not necessary at all.

With all due respect, the code running the SKS pools and website are in a 
pretty sad state. In my humble opinion the code should be made public on a 
decent open source platform (e.g., GitHub), refactored and exposed as much as 
possible in order to gain feedback and improvements from other developers. 
While doing that, add some decent CI/CD as, including some static code analysis 
tooling.

Don't worry; the data is not being exploited at all. Nor did peering with me 
had any effect on your services. That was never my intention of this little 
project.

Thank you for learning me so much from GPG and the inner working of the SKS 
pools that are so important to the GnuPG community and its users.

With kind regards,

Franck Nijhof
