favorite bit from the yearly security "training" i just "took": telnet, ftp and http are the "less secure" versions of ssh, sftp and https

i mean i guess that's correct in that completely insecure is less secure than secure

I have a thing for courageous dongles

ssh, sftp, and https are not inherently secure and I'm guessing they're hedging their language because of that. seems appropriate

well if we’re going to be pedantic, ssh and sftp are unrelated to Telnet and FTP

current org has this lovely flow chart for updating certs:

take your nice and lovely cert, send it to a linux box, convert it to different formats with openssl, send it back to yourself, send the new certs to it-infrastructure who will take 2-5 business days to sign it, get signed cert back, upload to whereever

repeat for every server / webb app / whatever you have that needs cert

Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.




ha, we use a similar basic "request source" check on an internal web service to validate that requests come from a legitimate requestor (one of two other internal webservers basically) and ive been trying to think of a way to make it more robust by adding extra auth layers/checks to it because it feels wrong and like there's a request spoofing/mitm vuln...though tbh if someone is spoofing on mitm'ing our internal network we're boned already regardless

anyway turns out i'm more security conscious than dell lmao

edit: the obvious answer would be "authenticate the account id of the calling process" but for some dumb reason our webserver accounts don't have normal identity profiles and the team that "manage" the iis hosts won't let us configure them to work around this

hah that sounds just like the process at the last place i was at only without the magic openssl box. also if the cert was for a windows box and the it infra tech was the one who installed it then you can pretty much guarantee that they left the "mark private key as exportable" option checked when importing the PFX to the cert store

All firefox extensions are disabled due to the expiration of a cert. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973

i've not had any issues either and i'm just on the standard build. maybe it only validates when the browser starts and mine was loaded before it ticked over?

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
mine was working until about 20 minutes ago then suddenly popped up that it had disabled add-ons, so i'm guessing it does periodic checks.

using the debugging side-load method works

There is some sort of temporary fix that is supposedly applied if you enable "studies". Although it doesn't work for me and several others. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/

the real secfuck is that i have to install the certs themselves when getting them back from it infrastructure

"it may take up to six hours for the study to be applied to your browser" LOL

it'll probably turn off again at some point unless they fix it more properly

so firefox just shat itself bigtime. Apparently, you can disable addons signature checking to bypass that but it didn't work, i guess the brendan eichmann sleeper agents are good at their job

you can use about:debug and sideload your addons if you need to, the xpi files are stored in the profile folder.

I think on Windows it ignores that setting unless you're using a nightly build. It seems to be working on linux, though.
