In this week's Adobe Reader patch, they fixed 'NTLM SSO hash theft': https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/mitigation-NTLM-dictionary-attacks.html How on earth is a PDF renderer causing vulnerabilities in NTLM?

Lutha Mahtin posted:is the "dots" feature even allowed under the relevant standards? in before somebody posts that regex from the RFC the relevant RFCs say "there are some non-@ characters here, good luck (and do whatever you want)". the last part in parentheses is not in the actual standard, but is implicit in every statement of every email RFC.

Blue Apron used to not really validate street addresses and I remember you could get multiple free meals delivered by just signing up for the free trial and then inputing a minor variation of your address (ie: 555-c, 555 unit c, 555 apartment-c) with a new account.

How do you validate a mailing address effectively? Canada Post offers something like that but it isn't super effective.

Lain Iwakura posted:How do you validate a mailing address effectively? in the uk the royal mail have a master database of every valid postal address that is considered authoritative and can be licensed, which sounds like a good idea (junk mail excepted) until they arbitrarily decide that your address is no longer "10 some block, some street" but is in fact "10 some block, 8 some street" and every credit reference agency in the country freaks out because you suddenly apparently start applying for bank accounts etc from a different address took almost a year to sort that poo poo out for all 200 or so people living in my block

there's a finite set of valid addresses in denmark too. never heard of anyone having problems because they lived on an "invalid" address but really, you cant validate real-world poo poo like names, emails, addresses automatically. you either need to contact some authoritative database or go into the real world and do it there.

USPS has a service for address standardization and validation, I'm pretty sure that if you send enough mail they'll even give you a discount on your rates if you standardize all your addresses. Pitney Bowes even offers a COBOL solution for it which is sadly the solution I'm most familiar with

This returns standardized addresses too, and lets you look at cool jargon-y info like the delivery point.

Lain Iwakura posted:How do you validate a mailing address effectively? You can always use the billing address (which is often the same as the shipping address) and validate that against AVS. That only looks at the street number though . Maybe their mistake was to use addresses at all to determine if someone had already gotten their free trial.

Shaggar posted:just keep telling the user to fix it until the USPS address search returns an exact zip+4 match. if an input address doesn't resolve, its not valid and the usps probably wouldn't deliver it anyway. USPS is actually very good at intuiting what you meant if you gently caress up an address

It also didn't prompt when I pulled up my personal site with a LE cert, so it's not just whitelisting Microsoft properties. So...somewhere before the version that's in Windows 10 1803.
