The recommendation to encrypt the password store is meant to avoid 
storing password in clear text on un-encrypted media, which is not much 
more secure than sticking them on post-its on your monitor.

Re: iptables firewall and web sites not loading

Of course doing a wget from the router itself works fine as it also

Maybe a "MTU black hole" issue with PPPoE.
Workarounds :
- lower the MTU on the client side to 1492
- add a "TCPMSS --clamp-to-pmtu" iptables rule on the router

  why would you not want to reboot?  if you aren't going to
use the upgrades why are you making them?  if you think there
are too many risks in rebooting then you perhaps should be
sticking to stable.

  every time i start up in the morning i check updates and
reboot or restart if checkrestart shows anything is using
updated libraries.  checkrestart is in package debian-goodies.

Are you still seeing the error if you do:

$ /etc/init.d/firewall stop


WARNING: You will not have any firewall protection if you do that

Is the issue still manifesting itself if the configuration is reset to
factory default?

I understand that many recommend encrypting the password store, but I
haven't yet done this. 'pass', recommended by Jonas in another message
in this thread, uses gpg to do this, and your recommendation of scrypt,
IIUC, would serve a similar goal.

I don't want to have to constantly enter a master password to access my
passwords. pass recommends using gpg-agent, but then how much does one
really gain by the encryption? I use full disk encryption (cryptsetup /
LUKS), so the password file is secure at rest, and when I'm actually
using the system, if gpg-agent is used, then anyone with access to the
machine can access the password file anyway. I guess one gets some
additional security in the case where one walks away from
the machine and leaves it running (and an attacker doesn't get there
before gpg-agent evicts the password from the cache), and similar cases.

I admit that I'm not that familiar with gpg-agent, and am no expert in
the topics under discussion. Please feel free to explain / remind
me of aspects of the issues that I'm missing.

Não sabemos ainda qual o programa aplicativo, qual o sistema de

Fica difícil ajudar.

Isso dito, nunca ouvi falar de Escpos.  Não sei se alguém aqui

iptables firewall and web sites not loading

2019-12-09 Thread Nektarios Katakis
Hello,

I am running an iptables firewall on an openwrt router I ve got. Which
acts as Firewall/gateway and performs NATing for my internal network -
debian PCs and android phones.

All good but specific web sites are not loading for the machines that
are sitting behind the home router. 

When attempting on the browser (firefox but tried different ones) the
browser stays at `Performing a TLS handshake to bitbucket.org`. wget has
similar results: 
```

When doing a tcpdump on the router side I can see some initial TCP

Of course doing a wget from the router itself works fine as it also
works fine on my desktop if I do dynamic port-forwarding with eg. `ssh
-D 1050 router` (and configure of course firefox to use it).

I m not sure what might be wrong here tbh. Of course other (most) sites
work fine without dynamic forwarding or anything.

I am attaching the output of `iptables --list-rules` for whoever is
patient enough to read.

Any help would be appreciated.

A linha relevante é MakeModel M3170 Series - IPP Everywhere.  Não a

linguagem de impressão, mas até aí, morreu o Neves.

Isso, que eu saiba, só funciona com conexão Ethernet.  Seria o caso?

Sim, mas qual?  Postscript, Esc/P?

Bom, pelo jeito o PPD não é padrão; em vez de descrever uma impressora
Postscript, aponta para um conversor Esc/P.

Ainda falta o cabeçalho para tentar o diagnóstico.

I made no such claim for any technical solution. Despite 4 decades as a

made such a claim here or elsewhere.

Our elected officials are constantly indicted as criminals. So are our
law-enforcement
officers. Therefore the set of criminals and the set of "political
processes" intersect and
their intersection is non-null. So concentrating on one threat means, in
reality, concentrating
on both. Welcome to the real Real World :-)

Yes, and that's what the tool "pass" helps you do.

you really reay want).

Even better is to reduce the use of passwords, e.g. using monkeysphere -

Read what I actually wrote.  I did not say that they do not do mass
surveillance nor did I say that I do not find that objectionable.

What I did say is that realistically, the government is not going to
take any action against me based on what NSA's computers read.  I am
simply not a "person of interest".  This is not true of criminals who
attempt similar efforts, so I concentrate my technical efforts on them.
If the goverment's efforts are blocked as a side-effect, fine.

You clearly didn't read the rest of what I wrote.  Attempting to use
technical measures to prevent NSA from analyzing the packets I send off
to Web sites should they choose to do so is hopeless.  The correct
approach to that problem is through the political process (limit their

Criminals do.  Concentrate technical efforts on the latter threat, where

In my opinion that's a dangerous assumption. If you're not aware of any 
actual case of harm you probably didn't look close enough.

(Not trying to single out your government. Even if mine would turn out 
to be "better" it would likely be so only due to incompetence and/or 
lack of resources, not the moral or ethics of the decision makers.)

With the current technology and the (increasing) willingness of ordinary 
people to expose so many aspects about themselves I believe the current 
capabilities of governments significantly surpass those of 80s 
totalitarian regimes.

This by itself should be scary and reminds me of the "boiling frog".

Bruce Schneier recommends writing passwords down and then keeping the
document containing them secure.

"Never write a password down!" comes from the days when the typical user
had a single password which she used to log on to the Vax from the VT220
on her desk in her cubicle. The admonition was intended to stop her from
writing it on a Post-It note and sticking it on the corner of her
terminal (or, if she was security minded, hiding it under her blotter).
The sysadmins, who kept a copy of the root passsword in the safe, saw no
reason why she couldn't just memorize the damn thing.  It was only six
letters, after all, and if she forgot it they would give her a new one.

Indeed. Memorising is part of the password problem. I've indicated a
possible solution that does not rely on the fallibility of memory in 
another mail.

Your plain text storage method would benefit immensley from using the
scrypt package.

I use 'pwgen', whose manpage begins thus:

*
The  pwgen program generates passwords which are designed to be easily
memorized by humans, while being as secure as possible.  Human-memo‐
rable passwords are never going to be as secure as completely
completely random passwords.  In particular,  passwords  generated  by
pwgen without  the -s option should not be used in places where the
password could be attacked via an off-line brute-force attack.   On the
other hand, completely randomly generated  passwords have a tendency to
be written down, and are subject to being compromised in that fashion.
*

Although I almost always use it with its --secure option, since I
don't try to memorize passwords, but instead record them (in a plain
text file) - who can remember hundreds of passwords?

I suppose that this is just a better, more scalable / manageable

How do you know that? Mr. Snowden, among others, has made it abundantly
clear that the US government is perfectly willing to do mass
surveillance and other intrusions without the slightest notice to the
Congress, never mind the public.

Having studied more than ten thousand years of history, I have come to
the conclusions that no government should be trusted any further than
you can throw it, and that all governments are guilty until proven
innocent.

Hola,

A la feina tenim eduroam però com que també tenim un altre SSID
connecto amb aquest darrer. Sincerament he d'investigar per què no
acaba de funcionar.
Ara bé, en altres llocs amb eduroam (i usant Debian amb
NetworkManager) em vaig trobar que no hi podia accedir. Tot consultant
els registres de /var/log/messages (crec que era aquest) i cercant per
internet vaig provar una cosa i bé que em va funcionar:

Si ho vols provar, edita /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
i hi afegeixes aquesta secció:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Reinicia networkmanager: sudo service network-manager restart

i proves a connectar. Molt bona sort!

Ja ens explicaràs!

I have no idea whose policy you refer to, so I don't know if it's policy
or not. One of the main reasons telnet is deprecated is because it
sends passwords in the clear, so a malevolent snooper can harvest
passwords.

telnet localhost was not the typical use case. I suspect a malevolent
user on the same computer might be able to sniff passwords and other
traffic from memory. Since you are probably the sole user on your
computer, that is an unlikely scenario. Remember that Unix security
evolved in a day when Unix boxen were multi-user, and one (especially
administrators) could not assume benevolence on the part of all users.

Be aware of risks, and assess your own situation accordingly. If you
still prefer to use telnet, go for it.

There are two distinct "security" condsiderations here that are often

## telnet ... is a comment.  Although ## is styled as formal

such as 
# telnet is commented out in case you installed it but don't really want 
# to use it. If you really, really ... really want to use it, remove the "#".

Where is that policy published?  Where should the description of use 
be submitted for approval?  

A session is routinely opened with xterm, gnome-terminal, lxterm and 
etc. without authentication.  Why is authentication so necessary for 
"telnet localhost"? At least a little cognizance of 
https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct , part 2, might be exercised.

As far as my question is concerned, telnetd is in Debian but the 
client is not specific to Debian.  According to 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists , "Debian lists are for 
discussion of Debian issues. Discussion of other distributions, or 
other operating systems, unless related to a Debian issue, are 
inappropriate."  Therefore discussion of the telnet client involved in 
my query is questionable.  The trouble with mentioning the client is 
that too many will forget the question and dash to a flame war.

I dislike APG because it generates passwords difficult to remember - 
without aiding in how to deal with that, which has a high risk of 
passwords getting stored on physical notes in the top drawer...

For strong yet rememberable passwords, I recommend this:

  xkcdpass

(yes, above aricle also references the XKCD cartoon!)

For non-rememberable passwords, I recommend this:

Group sudo is the easy way of granting full root power to users, which
is fine for a home PC with one user. /etc/sudoers can be a bit
difficult for beginners to learn.

But if you want to tailor what particular users can do as root, and do
this across a network, then you must use /etc/sudoers to get fine
control. 

In fact you are advised to create your own files in /etc/sudoers.d as
that way the base /etc/sudoers can be upgraded without messing up your
additions.

This refers to the fact that the sudo group is already configured
in the /etc/sudoers file to have certain rights.

If you search inside that file you will find it there.

Sure, you can add anything else you desire using the defined
syntax, see 'man 5 sudoers'.

Dans un terminal :

Running sudo without being in sudo group.

2019-12-09 Thread aprekates

In https://wiki.debian.org/sudo it says:

In order for a user to run sudo, the user must belong to group=sudo.

But i see that adding a line in /etc/sudoers can allow me execute sudo 
without being in the sudo group.


Do i miss sth or the wiki miss sth?

Salut,
Il m’est déjà arrivé après certaines installations que le son soit
sur mute (MM en bas du curseur) quand tu lances alsamixer  pour la
première fois. C’est un peu trivial comme réponse, mais on ne sait

Lenteur anormale au démarrage de certains logiciels.

2019-12-09 Thread benoitlst

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Depuis quelque temps il me semble (à vérifier), que les logiciels qui
ont une dépendance avec gnome3 (geary, epiphany, atril…) mettent
très longtemps à se lancer entre 20 et 30 secs.
Pour info je ne suis pas sous gnome, mais sous openbox seul.
Comment diagnostiquer ?
Ici je vois que la dépendance n’est pas affichée et pourtant il me
semble qu'atril ne peut pas fonctionner sans gnome3 :

apt-cache depends atril
atril
  Dépend: atril-common
  Dépend: libatrildocument3
  Dépend: libatrilview3

Merci d’avance pour vos conseils de diagnostique.

If you want to purge along with autoremoving:

$ apt-get --autoremove purge xfce4

apt cannot help you if you're using it wrong. In your case it's:

sudo apt-get autoremove xfce4

Also, apt-get(8).

Firefox messages are useless for troubleshooting.

$ openssl s_client -connect member.newsguy.com:443 -showcerts

   i:C = SE, O = AddTrust AB, OU = AddTrust External TTP Network, CN = AddTrust

Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate)


Your Firefox certificate store (which does not have anything in common
with ca-certificate package) lacks this CA certificate.

File a bug against firefox-esr, or something. CA certificate seems
legit.

Nah, that's just TLS.

Use aptitude instead.
