what hardware are you running on

its a 9900k and proxmox recently added cpu pinning, i just ran the rdr2 benchmark and the difference isn't as big as i remember, but still some drm doesn't work under virtualization, also running Speedometer2.1 is 15% slower in a vm

We've got people!


I was talking a few years ago with the CIO of a large school district, think ~100k students. He basically said their cybersecurity was poo poo, everyone knew it was poo poo, and the parents regularly went to the school board complaining it was poo poo. The school board had recently voted down a proposal a bunch of parents put together asking the district to stand up a SOC. This guy said that every time the board voted down infosec funding they always justified it with "if we even had the money to do this we'd spend it hiring teachers".

I've done some security consulting with the local school district, and yeah, same applies: I got my contract paid by the State but the school system itself had no money and minimal resources necessary to make the changes needed to really improve their security. It doesnt help that a lot of the School Systems IT is outsourced to "friendly" (i.e. corrupt and connected) bidders.

this right here is probably the best argument against having digital records systems at schools unfortunately. teachers are always underpaid and undervalued, so it will be politically impossible to maintain a competent and well funded information technology staff next to this because it would be unfair to the teachers
on the other hand, so much pii will make this kind of systems a really juicy target i suppose?

i really need to stop using t-mobile. lost my phone yesterday, so i walked to the t-mobile store today and asked to buy a replacement. was told they couldn't sell phones today but to come back tomorrow. asked if they could just activate a sim for me, they say no problem.

dude then proceeds to activate a sim for me, verifying my last name and phone number. no id check, no further id questions, no payment for the sim even.

just last name, phone number, and walked out the door with an activated sim

that kinda reminds me of when they were selling wrt54gs for cheap

i walked into a t-mobile store (not a customer at the time) and the sales guy just asked me for a phone number of someone i knew that used t-mobile. i gave them my old roommate's and paid for it

no idea if that ended up on his bill, but thanks steve

was the only employee there like a teenager they didn't trust with the keys to where they kept the phones but who they nevertheless trusted enough to let them generate sim cards for literally any t-mobile customer in the country?

i dunno. dude i was talking to was definitely a kid, but he kept going to the back room to relay pretty much any question i had to his "manager", and there was definitely a voice talking back to him. *shrug*

theres definitely a problem to be solved. i dont think the answer is buying everyone (or even most people) a phone. id love it if the answer was no slack or email on your personal device. i dont think thats very pragmatic either though. i think its probably going to be some form of MDM and maybe something like CFZT if we're lucky. i'm not really sure how mdm can even fully solve the problem of risk from a personal device if your concern is something like dlp from slack on someones phone.

it’s absolutely pragmatic to say no work email on personal devices if employees have a shred of self respect. if work wants to reach me outside work hours the least they get to do is provide a phone and service

i agree, but itd be a pretty big culture shift for us to do that. people do have email and slack on their phones. i thought this was pretty common, maybe im wrong about that. i think thered be pushback about that but maybe thats not my problem.

Is it really possible for a device to support fido2 without supporting u2f? IIRC fido2 is just u2f with an additional mode that allows keys to be stored on the device so I don't think it should be possible, and I would guess that this is just some sort of mistake in the feature comparison table.

The underlying logic is the same but the user side api are different(ctap1+uaf vs ctap2+webauthn2), so it's possible that they only expose the current ones. A lot of sites calls fido2 as second factor u2f when it's not a fido1 api call.

I guess it's optional for FIDO2 authenticators to implement CTAP1 but I still wouldn't be surprised if it's just an error on that web page

I have a really hard time swallowing the idea anyone would go along with MDM on their personal poo poo (I wouldnt), we don't require Slack/email on personal devices but people do it, and anecdotally just about every person I know working in tech in the bay area, at companies big and small, has both on their phones. I was hoping CFZT might be something that can kind of bridge the gap for the sickos without going full MDM.

there are actually secure ways to have work email, vpn and other access without enrolling in mdm

that increases friction switching between personal to work and costs money though
