Hey Mastodon, can you please help me crowd-source a GRC question I have? (pls boost if you don't have the answer)

FIPS 140-3 allows the use of RADIUS over TLS (RadSec) (p. 130), essentially giving a pass to MD5 cryptographic module being used because it is wrapped in TLS.

RFC 9887 (TACACS+ over TLS) was published in December of last year - I am trying to understand if it gets the same exemption as RadSec, since it is wrapping the MD5 within TLS.

Overview


Located in the central portion of Boone County, Kentucky, the community of Burlington is one of only two (2) unincorporated county seats within the Commonwealth. Today, the community is entirely unincorporated and is generally oriented in an east-west direction along Kentucky Route 18. The community is also along Route 338 in the north-south direction.



Today, I'm embarking on a trip to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Taiwan with @ubahnverleih and @robbi5! 🇭🇰🇨🇳🇹🇼

Do I have any followers there who might want to meet up? Or any recommendations on what to do/see/eat?

in reply to blinry

Tried to decode the Chinese menu on the plane, and I think I'll have endless fun with that! 😁

Butter is 牛油 – cow oil!
Ice cream is 雪糕 – snow pudding!
Potato is 土豆 – ground bean!
Tomato is 番茄 – foreign eggplant!

in reply to blinry

It's the end of a very long and very nice first day in Hong Kong!

There's a lot of cool-sounding birds & plants! The density of skyscrapers is ridiculous. Things seem old and new, forgotten and well-maintained at the same time. The food is plentiful and ridiculously cheap!

RE: infosec.exchange/@david_chisna…

the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”

but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”

and the answer to that is: fascism
stop. complying.


So, I have actually read the text of California law CA AB1043 and, honestly, I don't hate it. It requires operating systems to let you enter a date when you create a user account and requires a way for software to get a coarse-grained approximation of this that says either 'over 18' or one of three age ranges of under-18s. Importantly, it doesn't require:
  • Remote attestation.
  • Tamper-proof storage of the age.
  • Any validation in the age.

In short, it's a tool for parents: it allows you to set the age of a child's account so that apps (including web browsers, which can then expose via JavaScript or whatever) can ask questions about what features they should expose.

In a UNIX-like system, this is easy to do, with a tiny amount of new userspace things:

  • Define four groups for the four age ranges (ideally, standardise their names!).
  • Add a /etc/user_birthdays file (or whatever name it is) that stores pairs of username (or uid) and birthdays.
  • Add a daily cron job that checks the above file and updates group membership.
  • Modify user-add scripts / GUIs to create an entry in the above file.
  • Add a tool to create an entry in the above file for existing user accounts.

This doesn't require any kernel changes. Any process can query the set of groups that the user is in already.

If a parent wants to give their child root, they can update the file and bypass the check. And that's fine, that's a parent's choice. And that's what I want.

I like this approach far more than things that require users to provide scans of passports and other toxically personal information to be able to use services. If we had this feature, then the Online Safety Act could simply require that web browsers provide a JavaScript API to query the age bracket and didn't work unless it returned 'over 18'.

Per quanto una situazione possa sembrare disperata, c'è sempre una possibilità di soluzione. Quando tutto attorno è buio non c'è altro da fare che aspettare tranquilli che gli occhi si abituino all'oscurità.
Buona notte ♥️



Trimmed off the beard. My wife didn't want to be married to some old bloke.

Feels weird now, with a skinny face and pointy chin. I preferred the slow lane version of myself. Seemed more honest.

Beardless version of me looks like he might have some expectations to live up to, which will inevitably end in disappointment.

War Update: Epic Fury
It’s official. The Department of War (formerly DoD) has launched one of the largest air campaigns in history. Over 100 aircraft. B-2 Spirits. 1,000 targets in 24 hours.
The human cost is already climbing: 6 Americans confirmed KIA.
The grim detail: We lost three F-15Es, not to enemy fire, but to Kuwaiti air defenses in a friendly fire incident. The "fog of war" is real and it is here.

I found a new favorite place on today's stream walk (topic: meditation). I took screen caps to identify these flowers later. The white is southern dewberry, a species of flowering plant in the rose family (Rosaceae) native to the southern United States and northern Mexico. The yellow vine is false jessamine. A huge one grew up a tall pine in my childhood backyard, scattering blossoms & sweet perfume. Third pic shows the general landscape around the path.
