Is the Linux philosophy still relevant in 2019? | Opensource.com
▻https://opensource.com/article/19/1/linux-philosophy-poll
The philosophy outlined in these books was critical to the original design of Unix and its modern descendant, Linux. That groundbreaking design and its creative implementation made it possible for us to have the amazing open source operating system we have today. Without the concept of data streams, the use of pipes to modify and transform those data streams, the idea that “everything is a file,” and so much more, we would be reduced to struggling with a command line even less powerful than the old IBM or MS-DOS. Even DOS used pipes but never provided powerful utilities like the GNU Core Utilities that we take for granted today and give us access to the most basic of system functions.

]]>L0pht in Transition
Most of the ’90s hacking group the L0pht - Mudge, Space Rogue, Weld Pond and others - have emerged in legitimate roles. Was their work ultimately boon or bane for security?
▻http://www.csoonline.com/article/2121870/network-security/lopht-in-transition.html
Brian Oblivion. Kingpin [Joe Grand]. Mudge [Peiter Zatko]. Space Rogue . Stefan von Neumann. Tan. Weld Pond [Chris Wysopal]. That’s how the hacker group called the L0pht appeared before the Senate Subcommittee on Government Cybersecurity on May 19, 1998. They said, among other things [before the Congress of the United States] that they could take down the Internet in 30 minutes.
[...]
“Back then, the companies would pretend [vulnerabilities] weren’t real,” says Bruce Schneier, the noted cryptographer and CTO of BT Counterpane. Schneier says the L0pht’s ability to build tools like L0phtCrack forced vendors to address security problems. “That’s the reason we have more secure software today. If it wasn’t for that, Microsoft would still be belittling, insulting and suing researchers,” he says.
[...]
that merger [with security consulting firm “@Stake”] announced Jan. 10, 2000, marked the symbolic end of the L0pht. Over the next few years, its members were fired or drifted away, and @Stake itself was gobbled up by Symantec in 2004. The only member of the L0pht still there is Nash. The transition was particularly difficult for Zatko, who spent six months on disability and left @Stake after just two years.
The 1998 L0pth testimony before the US Senate:
Transcript of that testimony:

In reality, all we really are, is just Curious. For, well over the past decade, the seven of us have independently learned and worked in the fields of satellites communication, cryptography, operating systems’ design and implementation, computer network security, electronics and telecommunications.
To other learning process, we’ve made few waves with some large companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Novell, and Sun Microsystems. At the same time, the top hackers, and the top legitimate cryptographers, and computer security professionals pay us visits when they are in town, just to see what we’re currently working on.. so we kind of figured we must be doing something right.
[...]
Senator Thomson: (15’30")
I am informed that, you think that within 30 minutes the seven of you could make the internet unusable for the entire nation, is that correct?
Mudge: That’s correct. Actually one of us with just a few packets. We’ve told a few agencies about this, it’s kinda funny because we think that this is something that the various government agency should be actively going after, we know that the Department of Defense at very large, investigation into what’s known as denial of service attacks against the infrastructure
[...]
Kingpin: (22’36") I just want to add one thing to that, in the point of liability, the car manufactures will be and are held liable if something goes wrong in a product. If something goes wrong in one of the ten thousand cars, and it explodes they will be held liable. If something breaks in the software the companies aren’t held liable and they feel, why?

]]>NTP - Network Time Protocol - can be abused for attacks on HTTPS, DNSSEC, and Bitcoin.
Researchers at University of Boston describe how unencrypted NTP traffic can be intercepted and then used to change the time of clients. For example, the clock can be turned back to a point where the host would accept a fraudulent digital certificate that has been revoked.
Or by advancing the time on a DNS resolver the DNSSEC validation can be made to fail.
The researches also give advice on how to protect yourself against these various attacks.
Attacking the Network Time Protocol
Abstract—We explore the risk that network attackers can
exploit unauthenticated Network Time Protocol (NTP) traffic to
alter the time on client systems. We first discuss how an onpath
attacker, that hijacks traffic to an NTP server, can quickly
shift time on the server’s clients. Then, we present a extremely
low-rate (single packet) denial-of-service attack that an off-path
attacker, located anywhere on the network, can use to disable NTP
clock synchronization on a client. Next, we show how an off-path
attacker can exploit IPv4 packet fragmentation to dramatically
shift time on a client. We discuss the implications on these
attacks on other core Internet protocols, quantify their attack
surface using Internet measurements, and suggest a few simple
countermeasures that can improve the security of NTP.

The Palace of the Marquis de Dos Aguas
▻http://valencia.for91days.com/the-palace-of-the-marquis-de-dos-aguas
A lot of historic buildings in Valencia have beautiful doors, but the grand prize must go to the Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas. Even without its ostentatious marble entryway, it would be among the top sights in Valencia, having been fully restored and retaining much of its original furniture and decoration. The Dos Aguas is also home to the González Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Sumptuary Arts.
The palace was constructed in 1750 for the Rabassa de Perelló family, who held the title “Marqués de Dos Aguas”. As owners of the important “Dos Aguas” estate in the fields southwest of the city, the family was wildly wealthy, and spared no expense for their urban residence, employing the kingdom’s most-exalted artists and architects in its construction.
It’s impossible to walk past the palace without stopping in stunned silence at the elaborate alabaster sculptures which frame the principal entrance. A statue of Our Lady of the Rosary stands above the door, while two rivers (symbolizing the “Dos Aguas” of the family’s title) cascade down either side of the niche. Closer to the ground, two buckled-over giants are supporting an intricately-decorated scene of trees, leaves, fruits, animals, the family crest and, of course, abundant waters.

Hundreds of sections of #Reddit, the popular online message board, were unavailable Friday in what appeared to be a protest by many of the site’s moderators after the abrupt dismissal of a high-ranking company employee.
The move affected nearly 300 individual discussion areas — so-called subreddits that focus on individual topics like technology, art and business. Subreddits are generally moderated by self-appointed members of the community, not official Reddit employees. The shutdowns, which began on Thursday evening, appeared to expand rapidly on Friday.
They began shortly after Victoria Taylor, Reddit’s director of talent, was dismissed on Thursday afternoon. On Friday, the volunteers posted a document online that asked for better communication with official staff, as well as improved software tools for community management.

A young asylum seeker has been found dead at a Victorian jail which is still being run as a prison despite only housing people seeking refuge in Britain, The Independent has learnt.
Bruno Dos Santos, who was in his 20s and has a child in the UK, was discovered in his cell at around 7.30am this morning at HMP The Verne, which is on the Isle of Portland in Dorset and dates back to the 1840s.
The prison has been used solely by the Home Office to house asylum seekers since March, but plans to convert it into an immigration removal centre have been put on hold until the autumn - meaning that it is run as a jail and detainees are kept under harsher conditions than normal. Their access to legal advice to advance their cases is also reduced.

▻http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2014/apr/22/obamacare-hate-cant-be-cured
I am reminded of an exchange that took place between the historian Francis Russell and John Dos Passos. In 1920, two Italian anarchists—Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti—were accused of killing a security guard and an employee of a shoe factory during a payroll robbery to finance their political subversions. Their trial, which resulted in murder convictions for both, was manifestly unfair, and it caused an eruption of sympathy and protest on the left.
Celebrities around the world rushed to the two men’s defense. One of the leaders in this movement, who wrote extensively about the case, was the novelist Dos Passos. Nonetheless, the two men were executed in 1927.
But in the 1960s Francis Russell produced new ballistics tests and interviews to prove that one man, Sacco, had killed the two men at the shoe factory; the other, Vanzetti, was innocent. He tried to show this evidence to Dos Passos, who had given up his leftist ideas by that time. Dos Passos told Russell he could not even hear evidence that would unsettle his personal stake in the matter. He had invested too much of his youthful energy and self-esteem in the case to reopen it even for the slightest reconsideration. It would destroy his very identity, which had been tied up in that passionate commitment.

ELDORADO DOS CARAJAS, Brazil — At 4 in the afternoon on April 17, 1996, a 13-year-old girl with blond hair climbed onto a truck stopped on a road in the Amazon basin. From the top, Ana Paula Silva — known for a long time after as “the girl” — could see everything.
More than a thousand protesters had gathered on the road outside a village called Eldorado dos Carajas. People called them the sem terra, the landless. They sharecropped for large landowners, and they were among the poorest people in a country of very many poor and very few rich.
They wanted to make their way to Belem, the capital of Para state, to contend for land of their own, but the horizon seemed to retreat forever. When a pregnant woman could go no farther, they stopped to devise a new plan.
The women sat along the shoulders of the road and tended to the children, washing, nursing, rocking them to sleep. The men stood in the road and stopped trucks passing on the highway. That was the plan: They would block the road with the trucks to get the attention of the military police.
The police soon arrived in the form of Col. Mario Pantoja. He had a congenial, hangdog appearance, and met some of the leading protesters to hear their demands. They wanted buses to the next city, Maraba, if not all the way to Belem. And they wanted water.
Fair enough, the colonel told them. You’ll get water and buses.
From the policeman’s perspective, some of the landless men cast impressive shadows on the road. Josemar Pereira was an ox of a man. Everything about him stood broad, from his forehead to his boots. He wore canvas trousers, a shirt open to his torso, and a flopping felt hat. With his scythe in his hand, he was the archetypal South American peasant.
Less so Jose dos Santos. The thin 16-year-old hovered, listening in on the men’s negotiations. He had no great stake in the sem terra cause, but a protest sounded like fun, and fun was hard to come by in the Amazon basin.
From her perch, the girl watched as the buses arrived from north and south. When they came to a stop, scores of policemen poured out with weapons drawn. Friendly Col. Pantoja led them, along with a major called Jose Oliveira.
The workers held up their machetes, their pitchforks and their fists. In the chaos, Jose noticed that one officer had torn his name tag from his uniform.
As he watched the officer lift his rifle and level it at his face, he wondered: Why would he remove his name?
