Please don't do it. Now somebody will come and will try to improve your bread analogy. We will be discussing bread for eons

I think it a reference to "default city" from the russian internet, when people noticed that people from Moscow never specify the city when talking about topics which would normally require knowledge of which city are they residents of

Eventually it evolved, sometimes people say "hey, I'm from DC" or "hey, I live in DC2" (that means the second largest city, Saint-Petersburg)

The page doesn't tell what the product does aside from "cleanness check". Of course my website is not "clean", who would want a clean white page for a website?

man the woman in the video says "you got to try it to believe it", didn't you hear it

Have your seen safe_sleep.sh?

hello ValdikSS! nice to see you alive

Doesn't this one need it as well? I see the shadow mmu

ah, to live in a country where the government doesn't block wireguard packets

no, I mean the attacker boots his own copy of Windows or Ubuntu, which is supposedly trusted by the UEFI keys. Will tpm somehow detect that it shouldn't unlock secrets for this boot?

It all weird still

Suppose the physical attacker doesn't reset the bios. He boots Ubuntu or any other os which is signed. Will the tpm unlock and give out the key? I guess it depends on the setup and it's possible to unlock only on your own signed kernel but I doubt this is a default?

holy hell! snap-based kernel

can someone explain like I'm 5, what's the point of during storing disk encryption keys in TPM? What kind of attack or attacker do we protect from?

my logic is following: - if the attacker is remote and somehow modifies my kernel... Yes, the tpm and hardware attestation (is this the term?) would have saved me. But I'm fucked anyway since the attacker already has root on my computer

- if the attacker is local -- yes, with tpm they cannot steal just the hard drive and bruteforce it offline. But they can just reset bios and install their own os and trick me into typing the os passwords? Or even if they cannot trick me (hard to spoof my os UI) they can just install a physical keylogger?

So Microsoft did something good? I thought they are too busy keeping my personal data in a prison and writing tight bash loops wasting 100 percent of a core

I've never had a twitter account so all these people hating durov for his exile marketing look weird to me. I'm not disagreeing with what you say but it's like a whole another subsection of world opened to me

> You people are just racist towards Russians and need help.

>> That doesn’t exclude the statements about Telegram to be correct though.

just attack the telegram from the technical standpoint, then no complains about "racist towards russians" will be given. Like, mentioning the lack of user-friendly E2EE is great already. Saying things like "Durov who supposedly lives in exile has visited Russia over 50 times" is meh. How can one intepret it in any other way is "Russia is evil and visiting Russia is thus evil"?

and regarding the cracking contests — one of the telegram bugs was actually uncovered this way, see https://habr.com/ru/articles/206900/

that's stupid. getent passwd will fetch the user list from the network depending on setup. Have fun fetching 40000 records from the network every call

come on guys, stop upvoting me and answer the question please

whoa, didn't expect a wall of text

When I said about "no mitigations except for the kernel updates" I meant exactly that. Some sysctl config to flip, some kernel module to unload. Apparently such thing doesn't exist in this one

Today they already analyze the SSL handshake and traffic patterns in Russia. And if your valid https traffic crosses the border but doesn't behave like https (I don't know how they do it. Frequency of TCP packets and their size and the delay between?) your IP-address will be blocked

I want to stress that I'm speaking from experience. I personally installed a telegram proxy project which aimed to mirror the pattern of traffic and fool the censors

> new technology that is designed to balance interests on all sides and actually enforce the guarantees IN CODE AND PROTOCOLS.

They will just call your code illegal in law. And if you will run it anyway, use deep packet inspection to drop your protocol packets, like they do in Russia

That's cool and all but looks like we are running out of good countries

And if they all have censorship, they are not failing (when comparing them to each other)

It's hard to compare US and EU internet freedom because a person usually spends most of their life in one place and is clueless about the life in other.

I've never lived in US, were there any cases of ISPs blocking websites in USA? Even DNS-level blocking counts

it's all so tiresome

so no mitigation except for kernel updates?

how dangerous is the vulnerability in practice? How hard is to actually achieve the KVM escape?

Not all device files, only /dev/kvm. I assume the logic was "with /dev/kvm access the user can ...allocate memory and execute code, which they already can, so why not allow it?". Could also make rootless isolation easier

"lock-in factor"?

> don't, like, invade their country

I did not invade any country

At least this app just displays the flags and not prints such accusations

this touches two pieces of my knowledge:

    - microsoft is evil, I cannot delete my github account, will never use anything by this company
    - if the attacker knows your *public* key they can enumerate the list of the servers you have access to https://github.com/benjojo/ssh-key-confirmer

wonder if anyone tried X over infiniband, latency would be so great

The ad companies I think would want the opposite

If they cannot distinguish real people from bots they can just charge more for more ads shown !

I would tell them to not give their children internet access at all until they think they are ready. Does it sound realistic? I don't know. From technical point of view certainly realistic, a child doesn't have money / devices of his own
