I got some Yubikeys to gently caress around with. Does anyone actually use these widespread at their work? Or smartcards at all?

FIDO2 is cool but you can also do PKI with them without leaving private certs around--but I'll admit I very rarely hear people talking about s/mime and client certs these days.

If your firm is a windows shop on hybrid or azure ad join, they are the quickest and simplest way to go passwordless. Microsoft authenticator will work only on web sessions and not windows logins. The main component of a yubikey for current tech is the fido2/webauthn part, the rest is only to make it work with legacy tech.

has been at least two weeks since an npm post

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dev-corrupts-npm-libs-colors-and-faker-breaking-thousands-of-apps/

quote:

The developer behind popular open-source NPM libraries 'colors' (aka colors.js on GitHub) and 'faker' (aka 'faker.js' on GitHub) intentionally introduced mischievous commits in them that are impacting thousands of applications relying on these libraries.




The reason behind this mischief on the developer's part appears to be retaliation—against mega-corporations and commercial consumers of open-source projects who extensively rely on cost-free and community-powered software but do not, according to the developer, give back to the community.

In November 2020, Marak had warned that he will no longer be supporting the big corporations with his "free work" and that commercial entities should consider either forking the projects or compensating the dev with a yearly "six figure" salary.

"Respectfully, I am no longer going to support Fortune 500s ( and other smaller sized companies ) with my free work. There isn't much else to say," the developer previously wrote.

"Take this as an opportunity to send me a six figure yearly contract or fork the project and have someone else work on it.

that's just more exposure. beyond self-hosted as hobbesmaster mentioned, any package manager where the uploaded packages aren't audited would suffer from this exact same issue. it's literally a feature of package managers that a new version can be distributed by the package owner.

doesn't help idiots who don't pin or vendor their dependencies but that's an issue across every public package manager

My main feeling is that if you want to be paid for your coding you probably shouldn't license it under the licenses that allow someone else to profit off it without paying you

he got really pissed off a while ago because there was a company (maybe 2?) who were selling what was basically his library behind a trivial API and wouldn’t give him a contract for support (but would file bugs and requests, I believe). a company I was previously associated with looked into “acquiring” him and his library, but, uh, it didn’t work out

I’m not too sad, because my sense is that a) he would have been a real handful and b) he would have reported to me so no thanks

even ignoring that he's apparently an idiot, if the dude intentionally replaced his package with defective code / arguable malware, i can understand why npm would have to take action

github would be totally within their rights to kick him off their platform, but shutting down his access while keeping his accounts up seems legally shaky unless they're saying they though he'd been hacked or somethng. they have the right to continue to share his code, but he probably has a recognizable right to control things done under his name that would supersede github's terms of use
