Re: [Full-disclosure] Facebook seems to think my Arch Linux box has malware on it

2012-01-19 Thread Byron Sonne
Hello,

 “Your computer has malware!” Facebook says to me.

I am really curious to know, assuming that everything you've said is
accurate, how they determine you've got malware. This is rather curious.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if something's come between
you and facebook pretending to be official, hoping to trick you into
downloading something.

Cheers

Re: [Full-disclosure] Rate Stratfor's Incident Response

2012-01-12 Thread Byron Sonne
Hello,

 Bad analogy.  Closer would be if you have a house that's got a driveway on a
 public street, and you claim it's not breaking and entering if you walk up the
 driveway, try the doorknob, find it unlocked, and let yourself in without the
 permission of the residents.  Saying that anybody could walk up and let
 themselves in the door doesn't make it legal.

This is a pretty classic analogy that I've used many times myself, but
for many years now I've found myself questioning it... I mean good
analogies are valuable, but I think in this case it falls down.

Mostly, there's the expectation of physical security or, at least,
privacy, when it comes to a house. If someone's rattling door knobs,
it's not unreasonable to expect that they could be there to rob or do
you harm, as the human race does not have a significant history of
peaceful/harmless door rattling practices (that I know of).

Now, when it comes to the internet and networks in general, we've
entered a whole new world where many old ways of looking at things,
tempting as they are, don't fit. There's also no real relevance to
fearing for your physical safety if someone's probing your net.

To a good extent I might be talking out of my ass here, but I'd welcome
feedback.

Cheers,
B

then respond on the bottom. Yikes.

 In fedorable distro Almost pam namespace can do this. It was born from

 If you are in charge of a distro, it would not hurt to nuke it
 altogether and change all packages in your control to use per-user
 $TMPDIR. Some third-party stuff will break - but it breaks every now
 and then anyway.

Excellent suggestion, and you've piqued my curiosity. What distros exist
that implement tmp dirs in such a way? I haven't come across any, and
the more I think about it, the more I wish that this is something I
would see.

If you had your way, would you see it implemented as /tmp/USER
/USER/tmp, or some other way?

There's nothing surprising about software that has a bug - all software

Re: [Full-disclosure] on xss and its technical merit

2007-12-13 Thread Byron Sonne
 Naysayers of XSS want some elegant exciting actions.
 Its not. Its a case of not sanitizing input that allows
 arbitrary code to be executed. Simple things like umm
 secure coding, url scan, mod_security, noscript could
 combat this easily.

That is probably the largest part of what makes it such a boring topic.
The easier an attack is to defend against, probably the less exciting it
is. It's hardly exciting to 'break into' someone's house through an
unlocked door; there's no challenge.

 Its like someone walking past a car and seeing a million
 dollars sitting in the front seat. Thief opens unlocked
 door and takes money. Now a more elegant way would be
 to manipulate the chemical composition of the glass back
 to a gaseous form and reaching through.

Ah, now THAT would be cool :)

 I really dont understand why some in this community are
 so quick to say this is no find, this isnt new, this is
 insert blah.

You deal with this kind of crap professionally for a couple years and
then tell me how excited you are to come into work in the morning just
so you can pour over hours and hours of crud to make your customers
happy. It's boring. There's no meat to it. It's rote. It sucks the life
out of your day. I regret ever saying that nothing could be worse than
writing CGI checks.

 I guess it makes them feel intelluctually
 superior to tear down the ideas of others whether they
 deserve it or not. In some cases they do.

That might be part of it, who knows, for myself or maybe others. I'm not
a shrink. But to me it's more about wanting to see the boundaries pushed
 and being exposed to new, exciting stuff.

 Are members of
 this community so starved for their own self worth that
 they strive to squash the ideas of others instinctively?
 Would make for a interesting study.

Would probably just show that there's alot of pubescent teenagers
jockeying for social position.

coderman wrote:
 so perhaps xss should be discussed much less is the only
 concrete thing we all agree on?

FTW

It's pretty obvious that finding XSS has a low entrance barrier; this
explains its popularity. It's just not very impressive. At the same
time, if finding an xss gets some kid interested in security, then I
suppose it can't be all bad.

In any case, wikipedia has something interesting on this, I never
thought about how to categorize them, but then again, I usually start
vomiting from boredom at the mere site of the word 'xss' in a subject line.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xss, take it as you will:

Type 0

This form of XSS vulnerability has been referred to as DOM-based or
Local cross-site scripting, and while it is not new by any means, a
recent paper (DOM-Based cross-site scripting) does a good job of
defining its characteristics. With Type 0 cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities, the problem exists within a page's client-side script
itself.

Type 1

This kind of cross-site scripting hole is also referred to as a
non-persistent or reflected vulnerability, and is by far the most common
type. These holes show up when data provided by a web client is used
immediately by server-side scripts to generate a page of results for
that user. If unvalidated user-supplied data is included in the
resulting page without HTML encoding, this will allow client-side code
to be injected into the dynamic page

Type 2

This type of XSS vulnerability is also referred to as a stored or
persistent or second-order vulnerability, and it allows the most
powerful kinds of attacks. It is frequently referred to as HTML
injection. A type 2 XSS vulnerability exists when data provided to a web
application by a user is first stored persistently on the server (in a
database, filesystem, or other location), and later displayed to users
in a web page without being encoded using HTML entities.

That's a disingenuous distortion. I happen to think they are both viable

interesting than this xsscsrfbbqwtf slop and hasn't been done before, I
will. It is not easy to come up with cool new stuff or wicked ass
shit. That's kinda my point, and why we see so much of this derivative
crap.

Now obviously there's a ton of folks around with way better resumes than
me and a far better skill set, but don't go telling me to stand in awe
of someone who found this kind of hole in some big name website. Wanting
fame and respect for XSS on stuff like Goggle is like asking for respect
'cos you lifted Paris Hilton's wallet, or jimmied the door on the back

There is nothing gloriously technical about it, there is no elegance,

Re: [Full-disclosure] terrorists have invaded the united states

2006-06-11 Thread Byron Sonne
Why don't you folks just put up some filters for 'n3td3v'? I did months 
ago along with everyone else I know and it's been a blessing.


Either fire up firefox and add the filter, or locate your 
msgFilterRules.dat and add this (change the  to your username, duh):


name=n3td3v crap
enabled=yes
type=1
action=Move to folder
actionValue=mailbox://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Trash
condition=OR (subject,contains,n3td3v) OR (from,contains,n3td3v) OR (to 
or cc,contains,n3td3v) OR (body,contains,n3td3v)


The condition line should be a single line, but my mailer wraps it.

Problem solved.

Concious decision? So you are in the Microsoft meetings? Do
tell...didn't think so. 


Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity, or perhaps 
in this case, laziness and neglect.

Re: [Full-disclosure] Spy Agency Mined Vast Data Trove

2005-12-26 Thread Byron Sonne

just willing to hear your views on what are the rules to check/tackle
such issues in other foreign countries???


Well, one of the tricks these bastards play with Echelon is how they get 
around the typical illegality of spying on people in their own country. 
For instance, I'm from Canada, and our spy agencies are not allowed to 
spy on people inside our own country (technically). It's much the same 
in the USA, probably worse, as we're both pissing away our privacy.


So anyways, what they do is agree to help each other out by spying on 
each other's citizens, then sharing the information. So, the UK will spy 
on Australian and American citizens, Canada will spy on US and US on 
Canadian citizens, Australia on UK and such, etc. That way they're not 
breaking the letter of the law. Twisted, huh?


Perhaps your country has similar agreements with neighbouring countries.

Re: [Full-disclosure] An uncontrolled ***OFFTOPIC*** thread ... America's future under George Bush

2005-12-19 Thread Byron Sonne

And - about permitting Iran to develop nuclear power because the US is a
bully ... WTF?  


More than one side to the story, homes... everyone has the right to 
peacable nuclear power. Even if they did develop nukes, it's in their 
right. If the USA, Russia + satellite states, France, UK, India, 
Pakistan and Israel are allowed to do it, why not anyone else? Good for 
the goose, good for the gander.


The USA failed to lead by example, and are now reaping the rewards.


You are talking about Iran, a nation whose leader is
delusional and has voiced support of destroying another nation outright.


Susbistute 'USA' for 'Iran' and the sentence sounds like the same crap 
other people say about the USA. You sound just like the jerks that your 
troops are allegedly fighting against. Ever consider there's some brown 
skinned dude in a turban thinking almost the same kind of thoughts as 
you, except it's about America instead?


The USA has made it's bed, and now you're finding it uncomfortable to 
sleep in? Haha.



You may disagree with my position, and that is fine ... but this forum is
not the correct place to debate the issue - can we please let this list
return to topic now?


So as long as you get your last word in, everyone has to shut up? Feh. 
Weak dude.

Seriously folks, just set some spam filters. Out of the 1640 FD messages 
I had, I set a filter on 'n3t' and it snagged 225 messages, or in other 
words, 13.7% of messages got junked. Total time: 1 minute

Please don't ever think to put the discussion on the level of personal
attacks. 


It's not an attack; it's karma. Also a way of looking after the community.


No one is interested, and it's only in the interests of that


I beg to differ.
