If this is directed at me, the software requires SMBv1 for pretty much everything. Not sure what you mean by "let the admin install and enable," unless you mean that Windows Server should install with SMBv1 disabled by default, in which case I would agree.
I thought SMBv1 was disabled by default in 2012R2? But maybe not? It's supposed to be removed from some flavors of Windows 10/2016 as of the Creators Update release, according to a blog post from last year.

The issue seems to be that the "User=" field is interpreting the value "0day" as a UID, because usernames are not allowed to begin with numbers. So "0day" runs as root, and "7oz" doesn't run because there's no user with UID 7. It's possible that some part of systemd relies on reading the UID in this manner, which would mean that it isn't a bug. It is unexpected behavior, but so is a username that begins with a number.

What is the difference between a bug and "unexpected behavior"?
What would happen if you put a nul character in that username field? Would the result be a bug in systemd if something allowed you to create a username with a nul character in it?

If you look at the comment a bit down the page, the '7oz' user gets their thing run as root. Which is idiotic. If it fails to parse the username it should log a message saying so and then fail rather than defaulting to running it as root.
I just tried this on Fedora 24, and wasn't able to replicate it.

Created a user '7oz'
Created a test service that runs /usr/bin/whoami
Started the service
grep whoami /var/log/messages => 'Jul 1 22:29:47 hostname whoami[14664]: 7oz'

This is systemd 229 so maybe I need 232 or newer?

It is smuggling the data inside the txt record itself you can do it with at least A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, TXT and MX records.
That's sending data from the server to the client. You don't send a TXT record from the client to the server. How do you send data from the client to the server without that data being an encoded subdomain?

Months ago someone in one of the IT threads was saying there was a problem with fingerprint scanning as security on a cell phone. He didn't specify why, though. What's the problem with it? I got a new phone a few days ago and I know I should probably disable the Touch ID unlocking, but I'm wondering why.
It is easy to collect a fingerprint from something else you've touched and use it to unlock your phone. Cops (in the US) can legally force you to fingerprint-unlock your phone without a subpoena, but don't have the same right to coerce you into revealing the PIN or password for your phone.

If Def Con moved to a country that didn't have extradition rights to the west, do you think people would still go? Do you think feds still wouldn't catch people who went?

This isn’t about the scope of extradition, since he’s already from the UK. This is about direct grabbing during a visit, and that would be much less of an issue in any other western country.

Is it common practice for a third party we use to host an external support website (these guys are pretty large too) to ask for the following?

We do not fulfill CSR requests and it should not be necessary in order to retrieve the certificate information from the provider.

For SSL renewals, please attach the following:

New SSL certificate
Respective Private KEY
Bundle (Intermediate and Root certificates)
* If a PASSWORD is required to open the .ZIP file, please make sure you enclose it in a .txt document.

Please do not email the files. Please attach the files to the case in one of the following formats only: .txt or .pem format.
Doesn't sending the private keys to someone that didn't generate them defeat one of the basic points of a loving private key? :confused:

Because that website doesn't actually check if you put a real username/SSN in there, it is entirely a scam to get you to waive your class action rights. This doesn't have any bearing on whether or not arbitration is legal, but I've similarly heard that the clause is unenforceable, but the important thing is that you don't use that website.

General ITSEC question - how do criminals afford "junk domains" or whatever you'd call them to host malware/spyware or do command and control and so forth? A single .com domain can be like $10 or more a year, how do they register dozens or hundreds of "kj9fslidjflskdjgflkjdfg dot zyx" or whatever domains?

Or are there just really, really shady registrars that are like "LOL OK here's a thousand domains whatever"?
A lot of the gTLDs are far, far cheaper than .com domains. https://www.domcomp.com/tld/xyz

They make up for it by making renewals really expensive, but malware vendors or spammers don't have to worry about that.
