[00:11:06] wagnerrp: the forum does not seem to be sending out confirmation emails
[00:13:37] stuartm: wagnerrp: the mail server has problems with @mythtv.org addresses
[00:13:50] stuartm: should get that fixed tomorrow
[00:14:02] wagnerrp: can't email itself? :)
[00:14:11] stuartm: well I mean hopefully stuarta will fix it tomorrow, I wouldn't know where to start
[00:15:10] stuartm: wagnerrp: some silly anti-spam measure, yes, basically it rejects emails to local accounts because technically they aren't local accounts but aliases
[00:15:53] stuartm: so it decides that smorgan isn't a valid user on alcor and bounces the email
[00:16:42] stuartm: same problem prevents use of @mythtv.org email addresses with the mailing lists
[00:16:44] wagnerrp: so time to go digging through the outbound spooler....
[00:16:58] stuartm: wagnerrp: I can manually activate your account for now
[00:17:27] wagnerrp: or that
[00:17:55] stuartm: done
[00:18:11] wagnerrp: thanks

[00:30:41] stuartm: "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table"
[00:31:41] stuartm: is the error, and it's smtp not postfix that throws the error
[00:32:01] wagnerrp: ah
[00:33:32] stuartm: well postfix/smtpd
[00:39:20] stuartm: anyhow, if anyone else reading this is tempted to sign up with their mythtv.org address, don't, you can always change it later once we've beaten the smtp/postfix/other process into submission
[00:39:32] stuartm: and when I say we, again I mean stuarta
[00:42:37] skd5aner: stuartm: btw, I really like the cleanliness of the the forum theme – good job on throwing that together so quickly

[12:48:09] stuartm: ok, that's definitely spooky
[12:48:56] stuartm: use the search engine startpage.com, but the favicon that appears in my browser has switched from the usual one to that of an eye
[12:49:14] stuartm: when I check their favicon directly, it's not changed at their end
[12:51:10] stuartm: any other icon except for an eye and I'd shrug it off, but it's a weird coincidence that the icon appearing for search engine that promises to respect privacy is now the very symbol of surveillance
[12:57:29] stuarta: ooo
[12:57:49] stuartm: and their SSL cert is generating errors too
[12:59:03] stuartm: same cert on another IP works
[12:59:49] stuartm: guess it's a good job I'm not a terrorist or I'd be rather more paranoid right now :)

[16:21:28] stuartm: would prefer that it's not leaked out onto the -users list for another day or so, hence my low-key announcement here

[17:41:49] peper03: stuartm: *Really* minor thing on the forum – I registered on my phone. The field for entering the email address isn't marked as such (I assume it's an HTML attribute), so the on-screen keyboard wasn't adapted to offer the '@' symbol by default.
[17:42:35] peper03: Like I said, really minor but if it's easy to change, it makes life just a fraction nicer :)

[17:54:27] stuartm: clever: already made the changes
[17:54:31] clever: ah

[18:01:28] peper03: Just having done a quick search on it, old browsers should fall back to "text" if they don't recognise the type given, shouldn't they?
[18:02:42] stuartm: maybe, will double check in a little while, going to get some food first

[18:38:40] stuartm: paul-h: does it say https:// ?
[18:39:04] paul-h: yes
[18:39:30] stuartm: seems that for a while it was redirecting irc.mythtv.org to https:// which it shouldn't have, some browsers may have cached that redirect
[18:44:44] stuartm: paul-h: clearing the browser cache may work, failing that you should be able to use another browser as a temporary workaround
[18:45:57] paul-h: Yeah I'm just trying to find out how you do that in Firefox
[18:47:35] stuartm: we will be enabling https across everything ultimately, but it means a config reorg
[18:50:35] stuartm: knightr, dekarl1: we need these strings translating for the forum, I've done Portuguese already and will do the Spanish and possibly the Italian too, but most other languages are up for grabs – http://pastebin.com/AMkUYc5v

[19:29:36] warpme: all stealth except ssh/http/shttp/ipsec
[19:32:01] dekarl: warpme: I thought it is nice that one tool for spam blocking can be used for forum and wiki => only one set of false positives to deal with.
[19:32:17] dekarl: but of course its not nice that we get false positives so quickly
[19:32:40] warpme: dekarl: yes. agree.
[19:50:41] warpme: interesting: I have iptables configured to stealth for all incoming connections (excel ssh/http).... and discover ports 135/136/137 (samba) are not stealth. :-(. I have samba configured to listen only on lo,lan0,ppp0. wan0 (internet is excluded). It looks like defining ppp0 as intfs in samba turns-off stealth on 135/136/137. I'm sure it was ok on pre 3.13 kernels. heh – it looks like I'm kicked by new things in kernel 3.13 (they moving iptabl
[19:50:42] warpme: to nftables). If You are using kernel 3.13 – check this...I really surprised!
[20:13:59] wagnerrp_: warpme: stealth?
[20:19:09] stuartm: wagnerrp_: port closed and dropping all incoming packets, as opposed to a port closed but responding that it's closed
[20:19:11] warpme: wagnerrp_: IIRC stealth mode blocks outgoing ICMP unreachable and TCP reset messages for a port when no application is listening on that port. Practically it causes that sniff/scanning software is not able to distinguish is host alive at all or not when scanning on stealthed port...
[20:19:29] stuartm: or there's warpme's more technical explanation :)
[20:20:00] wagnerrp_: so "blackhole". security through obscurity
[20:21:05] ** wagnerrp_ hates blackhole routing **
[20:23:07] warpme: Oh – no. iptables can be statefull. I can ask for setup where all incoming conns. are stealthed (TCP state machine is not changing it's state at all) – but outgoing conns. will have fully working TCP state machine. iptables can enable TCP state machine per peers quadruple (IIRC)
[20:25:02] warpme: wagnerrp: there is no any routing. it is only for TCP state machine. Are You refferng to dead-peer detection?
[20:25:32] wagnerrp_: well it's called blackhole routing when performed on a network gateway, as opposed to a local firewall
[20:25:47] warpme: right.
[20:26:06] wagnerrp_: either way, the issue is the same. you're violating proper expected behavior
[20:26:29] wagnerrp_: and all you're really going to do is disrupt properly functing applications on the opposite side of the connection
[20:26:46] wagnerrp_: it's not going to make any meaningful difference to someone probing you for an attack
[20:27:19] wagnerrp_: there's no value to it
[20:27:43] dekarl: uhh blackhole routing is a bug! We manually fiddle out the profile paths from our windows domain accounts for admins that have servers in "secured" areas... Need to teach them that "icmp-go-away" packets are not breaking their security but make logins faster then 30 minutes :)
[20:27:45] warpme: sure. In fact this is my intention. All scanners & script kiddies in this context are applications/users I want to cheat as much as possible :-)
[20:28:49] wagnerrp_: if you want to get rid of scanners and "script kiddies", use IDS which will detect such behavior and _then_ block it
[20:29:16] wagnerrp_: don't block everything from everyone
[20:29:28] wagnerrp_: because that only harms those following proper network behavior
[20:29:35] wagnerrp_: scanners don't follow proper network behavior
[20:29:46] dekarl: makes for funny on-call-duty "dude I can't get onto the server"... "Hey, just wait 30 minutes" :D
[20:29:50] warpme: wagnerrp: I'm not sure. I believe it is better when my gw is not interacting at all with hosts which are undesirable/malitious for me...
[20:30:09] wagnerrp_: but you don't know they're undesirable/malicious
[20:30:12] wagnerrp_: that's the point
[20:30:56] caelor: I've had good experiences with ossec for that – active response dynamically adding & removing "drop all" iptables rules for misbehaving hosts (as identified by logfile monitoring)
[20:31:18] wagnerrp_: ^^^ proper IDS for dealing with such things
[20:31:21] warpme: oh – if depends. If I have well defined usage scenarios (and I and my gw have this) – then all other scenarios whoud be refused and I want they will use gw resources in minimal possible way.
[20:31:46] wagnerrp_: it's not going to take much to respond that a port is closed
[20:32:04] caelor: I think wagnerrp_'s point is that ICMP responses are a fundamental IP usage scenarios, as defined by the RFCs
[20:32:08] wagnerrp_: and if they're sending you so much traffic that it's going to overload the CPU on your gateway trying to respond to them all, your internet connection has already long since been saturated
[20:32:37] caelor: although in practise IP still works with ICMP filtered out, that's more by nature of it being a very solid & well designed suite of protocols
[20:33:28] wagnerrp_: but pings and port probes are standard behavior of well meaning applications
[20:33:38] caelor: there's an argument to be made that an affirmative response that a port is closed uses less network resources in aggregate, that leaving a connection hanging (depending on the behaviour of intermediate networking gear)
[20:33:38] wagnerrp_: it should not be blocked, until proven that they are not well meaning
[20:35:34] wagnerrp_: blackholing everything is the typical gradeschool teacher mentality that since one child eats the glue, no one else is allowed to have it
[20:37:30] caelor: professionally, I have to support systems that connect over ICMP disallowed networks – it makes connectivity diagnostics very difficult, although I understand the reasons why it's the policy (even if I don't agree with the underlying rationale)
[20:37:54] dekarl: http://www.znep.com/~marcs/mtu/ hints that Path MTU might break when you filter ICMP to much
[20:38:31] wagnerrp_: the reasons are an unenlightened attempt at network security
[20:38:39] warpme: caelor, wagnerrp: I thing we are debating about what fw approach is better: dany-by-default or allow+filter all. Assuning they there is non-zero probability of bugs in TCP stack – lower TCP interactions with unneeded host means lower probability of bug exploit. Price of this strategy is non-conformance with RFC's. I think this price is worth to pay – especially when my GW isn't pubic one...

[20:39:24] warpme (warpme!~piotro@89-79-250-31.dynamic.chello.pl) has joined #mythtv
[20:39:31] stuartm: one touted benefit of stealthing/blackholing is that it seriously slows down scanners, so causing significant inconvenience for would be attackers
[20:39:52] warpme: stuartm: good point
[20:40:27] wagnerrp_: stuartm: it slows down properly behaving software that tries not to overload a host
[20:41:01] caelor: And in the absence of "proper" IDS systems, it's a poor-man's defense. It comes down to what level of resources you are willing to devote to defeating potential attackers
[20:41:20] stuartm: wagnerrp_: we're talking about blackholing already closed ports, there's not properly behaving software that should be attempting to connect to a server on an unused port
[20:41:27] stuartm: misconfigured software maybe
[20:41:43] warpme: wagnerrp: I think this is too wide statement. If I'll be attacker I'll do everything non-conformant or malicious to break Your fw.
[20:41:46] wagnerrp_: or, software trying to connect to a server not currently running
[20:42:30] caelor: Certainly, for the majority of IPs on the Internet, there's an arguable benefit, given only a minority of routable IPs are likely to be running legitimately/intentionally reachable servers.
[20:43:02] caelor: but that's a reflection that the majority of devices on the Internet need to be configured to defeat 99% of attackers, with 0% administrator oversight
[20:44:38] caelor: and for an IP that is intentionally providing services, extra care should be taken about blackholing. But that host should be under the oversight of an administrator who is designing an appropriate security profile
[20:44:52] stuartm: wagnerrp_: I wouldn't advocate it for those ports which are at times in use, but ports which are never used, which would be permanently firewalled anyway
[20:45:37] wagnerrp_: if they're never used, then there's no harm is just letting the stack respond closed
[20:45:59] stuartm: no harm no, but then there's no harm in them not responding either
[20:46:02] wagnerrp_: if there is a flaw in the stack that could be compromised, it could be compromised on any port
[20:46:22] wagnerrp_: there's no harm to the server itself, there could be harm to the client
[20:46:44] warpme: caelor: exactly. I'm using stealth only because I'm protecting against malicious users and my GW isn't in group You mention. You mage v.good point :-)
[20:46:47] wagnerrp_: it's being a "bad neighbor" to the internet at large
[20:47:46] stuartm: it's not about there being any added security in blackholing, merely that it's a pain for automated scanners – takes them several times longer to scan a single host which multiplied by all the IPs they hit ... call it the internet equivalent of speed bumps
[20:48:26] stuartm: most consumer grade routers will blackhole all NAT'd ports
[20:48:26] wagnerrp_: it's only a pain for well behaved scanners, which are going to slow themselves down because they think the network is saturating
[20:49:03] wagnerrp_: a malicious scanner isn't going to care, unless it's trying to avoid detection by scanning slowly, in which case it's going to scan ports in a randomized slow pattern anyway, independent of prior responses
[20:49:41] stuartm: not sure how you figure that – any scanner is going to have to wait a certain amount of time for a reply which is always going to be longer than it would take to get a reply from a closed port
[20:50:03] wagnerrp_: who is to say it has to operate serially?
[20:50:15] wagnerrp_: the only reason to run serially is to limit the load on the server
[20:50:27] wagnerrp_: and the only reason to try to limit load on the server is because you're well behaved
[20:51:03] wagnerrp_: if you're malicious, and we'll assume you are since there's no reason to protect otherwise, then you won't be well behaved
[20:51:38] stuartm: wagnerrp_: it will still only have a finite number of connections it can make concurrently, and any delay prevents it moving on to the next range of ports or IPs
[20:52:16] wagnerrp_: that finite number is very large
[20:52:37] stuartm: anyway, not interested in the argument enough to fight all night :) Whether or not it serves any purpose, it is a standard practice
[21:01:05] warpme: For me it is mather of taste. Me as administrator defining all incoming connections in 2 pools: expected+trusted and not trusted at all. As second group has zero trust – I'll do everything to minimise my resources allocation because of zero trust.
