Wed 22:01:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ php's always been a trash fire, but devil apes love trash
Wed 22:02:28 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ like Roy and Rianne, I started converting everything to static generation. Began this summer in June. By August I had everything as plain HTML on all assets
Wed 22:03:08 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ agree with MinceR, I always found PHP a bit sus and scuzzy
Wed 22:04:48 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ so you built lighttps from source with linking flags nobody?
Wed 22:05:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i'm building everything from source, since i have to backport onto linux-2.4 and support static linking
Wed 22:07:52 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ for a while I've been looking at BSD for hosting
Wed 22:08:16 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ plain old httpd
Wed 22:09:59 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ in your opinion what is best for segmentation/compartments.... BSD jails, chroot, containers, micro VMs? any thoughts?
Wed 22:10:37 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ or just let the web sever do simple domain based hosting instead of over-complicating things?
Wed 22:12:40 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ I really got into docker last year. Its so seductive. But I',m outsourcing a lot of trust.
Wed 22:18:15 │ 〖bms〗 │ the OPNsense firewall uses PHP for the front end but it's not normally exposed
Wed 22:18:43 │ 〖bms〗 │ they did a significant model-view-controller style rewrite of the pfSense product as it existed from Netgate
Wed 22:19:06 │ 〖bms〗 │ and there was some harassment from the pfSense people towards the OPNsense people as I heard anyway
Wed 22:19:28 │ 〖bms〗 │ I've been running physical errands like taking my e-waste to the local recycling point
Wed 22:19:41 │ 〖bms〗 │ and only occasionally dipping in to see what updates have been pushed
Wed 22:19:48 │ 〖nobody〗 │ yep, that's a major issue, hundreds of millions of routers not receiving updates and exposing a dynamic php site to public
Wed 22:20:12 │ 〖bms〗 │ my Win11 based browsers got updated quickly (LibreWolf, Pale Moon, Vivaldi) but the Android Vivaldi build is still lagging
Wed 22:20:29 │ 〖bms〗 │ allegedly Microsoft have done NOTHING about patching Edge for the the "The private key is 4"
Wed 22:21:07 │ 〖bms〗 │ people will be most worried about WordPress and legacy Drupal installs w.r.t PHP
Wed 22:21:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ cybershow: i don't recommend para-virtualization (containers etc), those promote lax administration of services contained
Wed 22:22:09 │ 〖bms〗 │ nobody: someone did a teardown on jails vs docker, something something Voss I think
Wed 22:22:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ jails and chroot aren't much different, and that's the type of administration which must be done
Wed 22:22:52 │ 〖bms〗 │ same person did a teardown on seccomp-bpf vs Capsicum (there really is no comparison, Linux "capabilities" are the remnants of POSIX.1e from 1997 which did not land, they are not capabilities in the formal sense)
Wed 22:22:53 │ 〖nobody〗 │ besides privilege separation (running services as non-root) etc.
Wed 22:23:05 │ 〖bms〗 │ on the contrary jail goes much further
Wed 22:23:22 │ 〖bms〗 │ VNET/VIMAGE for example (I shared an office with Marko Zec briefly)
Wed 22:23:42 │ 〖bms〗 │ it has advanced significantly since Poul-Henning Kamp first derived it
Wed 22:23:52 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ https://vivianvoss.net/blog/the-jails-replacement
Wed 22:24:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's too recommended to separate mounted disk space into writeable and executable regions (i'm loading my executable rootfs non-suid from squashfs read-only for example)
Wed 22:24:06 │ 〖bms〗 │ that said the encapsulation is not perfect, it is not and does not claim to be either
Wed 22:24:09 │ 〖bms〗 │ (for jails)
Wed 22:24:31 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ I agree that containers tend to sweep it all under the rug. Havent updated the internals of some in a while
Wed 22:24:33 │ 〖nobody〗 │ such minor things can greatly benefit security, and should be considered with or without Virtual machines alike
Wed 22:24:55 │ 〖bms〗 │ yes, Klara Systems, the ZFS consulting outfit in Canada, posted on tying jails down to specific ZFS datasets.
Wed 22:27:32 │ 〖bms〗 │ I have Ch10 of Levy to finish off reading his book
Wed 22:27:42 │ 〖bms〗 │ a capabilities model requires total encapsulation
Wed 22:29:21 │ 〖bms〗 │ so in that sense jails can't be said to be such, although jailed processes can be Capsicumized, where the cap-mode namespace restrictions will be hit first. this doesn't make the enclosing jail irrelevant-- it will still constrain what service processes e.g. the Zygotes which Casper spawns for libc-compatible DNS in processes in the sandbox for example.
Wed 22:29:55 │ 〖bms〗 │ the canonical examples of FreeBSD base system daemons which have been Capsicumized seem to be rtsold (IPv6 Router Solicitation) and syslogd itself
Wed 22:31:11 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ my experiences of SE Linux traunatised me. How easy are BSD caps to set/administrate?
Wed 22:31:25 │ 〖bms〗 │ this is subject of my ongoing research -- there's a close correspondence between Python multiprocessing's "forkserver" and the Zygote in libcasper for example, and given how Python processes interact with APIs provided by the platform via the base Python modules, it is probably best to handle sandboxing in a Pythonic way, NOT by wrapping Casper in CFFI or Cython for example
Wed 22:31:45 │ 〖bms〗 │ you have to port code to it -- no other way, but the simplest example is tcpdump
Wed 22:32:30 │ 〖bms〗 │ the restrictions are hard and unremitting once capability mode is entered via cap_enter() or the helper macros or functions Casper provides to ease compartmentalization
Wed 22:32:56 │ 〖bms〗 │ only syscalls marked CAPENABLED in syscalls.master are permitted for a process in cap-mode, no exceptions
Wed 22:33:53 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ how does one scout/recce ahead and know what caps will be needed without intimately knowing the app?
Wed 22:34:15 │ 〖bms〗 │ Robert Watson closed the gap with the pid_t space being globally visible with respect to the designation aspect of capabilities, by wrapping them in file descriptors; procdesc(4). it seemed the right move. MAC continues to be checked *after* or *behind* the cap checks so there's no ambient authority leading to Confused Deputy situations.
Wed 22:34:32 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ SElinux was all about test it, fail, test it, fail.... ad nauseum
Wed 22:34:33 │ 〖bms〗 │ you quite literally have to know your use cases
Wed 22:34:44 │ 〖bms〗 │ yes I recognise the trial-and-error approach well
Wed 22:35:15 │ 〖bms〗 │ as a young thing straight out of uni, I was roped into setting up CA eTrust for that on Solaris 2.6 in JPMorgan futures & options onsite
Wed 22:35:57 │ 〖bms〗 │ if you designed your code according to an object-capabilities model or with that approach in mind (as in, becoming a Jedi like disciple of Mark S. Miller, Hank Levy and Norm Hardy and so on as I am becoming now) then it should work out
Wed 22:37:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ OpenBSD base system utilizes pledge() which needs no further administration
Wed 22:37:37 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ I do often have the patience to go full jedi, but 1) things change rapidly and as I get older I find too slow to repeat the work, and 2) its impossible to convince anyone else to follow such a path
Wed 22:37:38 │ 〖bms〗 │ an extra neato side effect is that if you were going to use the obj-cap approach, LLM code generation is unlikely to help you, because there are few examples of the genre (Cap'n Proto doesn't count because when I did trial the Qwen and Claude models, they just regurgitated web site content based examples for the most part, and weren't trained on v2 which has the EzRpc
Wed 22:37:40 │ 〖bms〗 │ ease-you-into-it-slowly wrappers missing)
Wed 22:38:13 │ 〖bms〗 │ nobody: pledge and unveil still require that code is ported to use them. I have not done a full teardown, but it did not claim to be a capabilities model.
Wed 22:38:20 │ 〖nobody〗 │ by default services do privilege separation there, overall OpenBSD seems rather safe by default
Wed 22:38:30 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ aha that lack of widespread knowledge works as a favour againt LLM attacks, I see
Wed 22:38:40 │ 〖nobody〗 │ bms: yes, and openbsd did pledge() their base system
Wed 22:38:48 │ 〖bms〗 │ nobody: although folk have proposed to emulate pledge and unveil in terms of Capsicum, there's no real 1:1 correspondence, and the main effort bit-rotted
Wed 22:38:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ would be curious if the OpenBSD port of php is affected
Wed 22:39:17 │ 〖bms〗 │ Google quietly dropped their Capsicum port for Linux in 2020
Wed 22:39:33 │ 〖nobody〗 │ bms: another important aspect, administrative and development efforts needed; if you haven't much time, OpenBSD offers a reasonable default
Wed 22:39:35 │ 〖bms〗 │ there was a RISC-V CHERI announcement recently
Wed 22:40:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and well, myself remains idling atop linux-2.4 here, without relevant worries
Wed 22:40:50 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've only applied a subset grsecurity patchset of it for ASLR
Wed 22:40:54 │ 〖bms〗 │ notably Bitcoin Core is now using Cap'n Proto. But none of the capabilities model. That might warrant a rewrite, on par with "heroic programming". Amir Taaki picked up a rifle, went to Syria, was not heard of after.
Wed 22:40:58 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ nobody: the vintage kernel, small attack surface approacj has me curious
Wed 22:41:26 │ 〖bms〗 │ you can use capnproto as "better than protobuf" or for faster "cerealization" but it's missing the point
Wed 22:41:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ cybershow: well, the kernel fork is uploaded already, but i'm not ready to upload the userspace mess with hundreds of patches and hacks
Wed 22:42:16 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ i appreciate ots personal work in progress
Wed 22:42:29 │ 〖bms〗 │ of course CHERI is capability addressing, CApsicum is OS level capabilities, and Ccapnproto is capabilities at the IPC/RPC level which kind of fnnnels you into an obj-cap approach
Wed 22:42:37 │ 〖bms〗 │ what comes after that is network-as-capability
Wed 22:42:39 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and overall i did take a few administrative security precautions, for example loading rootfs from read-only squashfs is something i tend to trust
Wed 22:42:47 │ 〖bms〗 │ closest state of art I have seen is Host Identity Protocol
Wed 22:43:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ even when a security breach occurs, it's almost impossible to persist any changes
Wed 22:43:31 │ 〖bms〗 │ I got my main FreeBSD box upgraded to AMD Zen 3 arch this AM
Wed 22:43:42 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ network as caps is gold. I;ve always wanted to just ringfence some apps as _never_ touch a network
Wed 22:43:49 │ 〖nobody〗 │ bms: fine-grained sandboxing requires notable administrative efforts
Wed 22:44:02 │ 〖nobody〗 │ with regards to networking i did another administrative hack instead:
Wed 22:44:05 │ 〖bms〗 │ it claims to have the Intel-originated Memory Protection Keys feature which are in esseence a limited inter-thread encapsulation mechanism
Wed 22:44:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ with iptables it's possible to filter inbound/outbound based on guid/uid, and by default i block ALL outbound traffic, even uid=root isn't permitted to open an outbound connection
Wed 22:45:02 │ 〖bms〗 │ supervisor-mode PKS can mitigate some Ring 0 exposures like the BUMSRAKETE stuff that got found in FreeBSD kernel TLS offload (stuff Netflix relies on for streaming)
Wed 22:45:19 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and then i gradually opened several outbound ports based on guid/uid
Wed 22:45:26 │ 〖bms〗 │ user-mode PKU potentially lets you compartmentalize things like routing state between threads in a BGP process
Wed 22:45:54 │ 〖bms〗 │ it isn't cap-mode addressing; it's just ACLs, but it's still a bulkhead, just not as strong as e.g. sealing in CHERI
Wed 22:46:15 │ 〖nobody〗 │ so, even when some security breach occured with any service, chances are any malicious code (which can't be written to anywhere with executable permission), even if any outbound connection attempt would leave some traces in iptables.log
Wed 22:46:42 │ 〖bms〗 │ I remember hacking my Linux 1.x kernel with Slackware 3 in university halls to tie various ports down to various uids with kernel patches ~1997
Wed 22:46:59 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ CHERI works below the OS, on addresses and memory mnagement ? that's sealing?
Wed 22:47:05 │ 〖nobody〗 │ which spares me the hazzle of fine-grained SElinux/capsicum/seccomp etc.
Wed 22:47:26 │ 〖bms〗 │ sealing is when you temporarily restrict your own access to a capability grant which you hold, e.g. when about to call into untrusted code
Wed 22:47:54 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ okay. you rescind your own access rights
Wed 22:47:57 │ 〖bms〗 │ the concept's been around since ~1974 IIRC, a PhD thesis related to an MIT effort Levy wrote about
Wed 22:48:19 │ 〖bms〗 │ only temporarily, usually the capability itself is encrypted with a key for example
Wed 22:48:30 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ thanks, I like that idea a lot
Wed 22:48:48 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ have heard people talk about it
Wed 22:48:51 │ 〖bms〗 │ I haven't seen such for the layers further up, e.g. capnproto and capsicum, but the CHERI ABI supports it
Wed 22:49:19 │ 〖bms〗 │ I believe it was part of the CMU Hydra capabilities framework which sat atop PDP-11 clusters
Wed 22:50:07 │ 〖bms〗 │ the capabilities addressing technique cna of course be used to support control-flow integrity, though I didn't look to see if LLVM's own CFI software approach was adapted to it
Wed 22:50:27 │ 〖bms〗 │ the AMD Zen 3 CPU I now have installed claims to support Intel CET shadow-stacks but not branch tracking
Wed 22:50:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ CFI and things like this, i would throw into the bag of runtime-forensics, which are very expensive, technically
Wed 22:50:59 │ 〖bms〗 │ those are mitigations for the so-called "return oriented programming" which sounds like a more polite way of saying "smashing the call stack"
Wed 22:52:18 │ 〖nobody〗 │ ASLR is the only memory protection measure i activated with linux-2.4 (because all other such as W^X, stack-smashing protection canaries etc. are intrusive and need extensive support from compiler, and administrative action)
Wed 22:53:09 │ 〖nobody〗 │ in the end CFI, W^X, SSP, none of this prevents memory corruption, it merely detects those
Wed 22:53:34 │ 〖nobody〗 │ while ASLR doesn't detect any memory corruption, it merely makes it very difficult to inject malicious code for execution
Wed 22:55:00 │ 〖nobody〗 │ SElinux, seccomp, etc. require notable administrative efforts in comparison to chroot/iptables/read-only-rootfs
Wed 22:55:09 │ 〖bms〗 │ it would be nice to say that capabilities addressing would solve it all, but it still requires people to know what they are doing
Wed 22:55:18 │ 〖nobody〗 │ finally security measures chosen depend on what's supposed to be accomplished by those
Wed 22:55:22 │ 〖bms〗 │ it makes far more economic sense though, modulo the installed base problem
Wed 22:55:28 │ 〖bms〗 │ CHERI vs TRACTOR
Wed 22:55:39 │ 〖nobody〗 │ if it's merely preventing data breaches, there's simpler methods than SElinux
Wed 22:55:44 │ 〖bms〗 │ CHERI: adapt existing C/C++ code to memory safety through cap-addressing
Wed 22:55:58 │ 〖bms〗 │ TRACTOR: rewrite the lot into Rust/Go with LLMs
Wed 22:56:28 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but if runtime-forensics and tracing are desired, SElinux, memory dump debugging etc. are unavoidable - to spot and fix vulnerabilities in source code
Wed 22:56:45 │ 〖nobody〗 │ which i haven't got the time for, hence i have to live with simple precautions to prevent breaches
Wed 22:56:53 │ 〖bms〗 │ Ben Laurie and Robert Watson published (outside of cam.ac.uk scope, as a private company) on CHERI being quite efficient that way, they didn't draw a direct comparison with the DARPA TRACTOR initiative
Wed 22:57:32 │ 〖bms〗 │ as far as C++ goes, Bjarne Stroustrup wasn't idle, but his version of safety profiles didn't land.
Wed 22:57:56 │ 〖bms〗 │ std::span and std::start_lifetime_as (IIRC) are a good start
Wed 22:58:30 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ I'm definitely in a space more like you now nobody, needing pragmatic good-enough security environment for servers, but I love to keep an eye on the more experimental approaches like bma mentions, hopefully these just become more mainstream and easier to administrate
Wed 22:58:59 │ 〖bms〗 │ my focus is pretty tight; it's not general. i'm all about hardening the routing substrate.
Wed 22:59:26 │ 〖cybershow〗 │ yes that makes sense to be so tight at that critical juncture
Wed 22:59:40 │ 〖bms〗 │ I'd aim to prototype my obj-caps broker in Python, but it really should be written in C++ because Python lacks strong encapsulation at language level leading to explicit CWEs.
Wed 23:00:03 │ 〖bms〗 │ if you've seen what a clusterf**k SONiC is with how it embeds FRR and so on...
Wed 23:00:26 │ 〖bms〗 │ and the rather fascist attitude in FRR's documentation
Wed 23:01:28 │ 〖bms〗 │ doing such a broker in Python is however a good test case for working with pycapnp, the capnproto Python binding; that is some fairly tight Cythonization.
Wed 23:01:47 │ 〖bms〗 │ as well as the approaches to running Python code in a Capsicum sandbox
Wed 23:02:00 │ 〖nobody〗 │ since you mentions python, i had a word to say about this
Wed 23:02:03 │ 〖bms〗 │ kcgi got Capsicumized, it tries to be portable in terms of sandboxing
Wed 23:02:41 │ 〖nobody〗 │ from the system-integration/portability perspective, it's been a nightmare to yield a python38.static cross/compiled/linked with tinycc for example
Wed 23:03:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i want to completely avoid python ever since, which is one reason why i've not git-pushed the userspace port for linux-tcc
Wed 23:03:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ because i hacked support for this with gentoo-portage which depends on python, and i rather migrate/re-package than retaining python/portage
Wed 23:06:35 │ 〖cow_20012〗 │ https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/60758606
Wed 23:06:43 │ 〖cow_20012〗 │ err
Wed 23:06:48 │ 〖cow_20012〗 │ oops
Wed 23:06:53 │ 〖cow_20012〗 │ wrong channel
Wed 23:12:01 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :)
Wed 23:14:12 │ 〖bms〗 │ I had to point OPNsense at opnsense.org for updates to pick up the hot fix which just got pushed for the PHP vulnerabilities with global impact; they have not yet synced to mirrorservice.org in Kent.

Thu 04:52:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ GNOME people are some pederests and at one point a shaman. Most of them can't code.
Thu 04:53:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They wrote a horrible shell largely in Javascript that bloats and leaks memory like a son of a bitch.
Thu 04:55:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said one reason they used JavaScript was to have an easy extension system. Then they turned out to have a highly unstable interface where either the extensions stop working quickly (often within a single release) if they aren't constantly maintained, or else they will appear to load and work, and then crash the Shell, sometimes preventing the Shell from loading at all.
Thu 04:55:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They extensions are structurally a monkey patch.
Thu 04:58:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Undoubtedly what will happen is you'll install some and then it will stop you from cleanly upgrading GNOME until you uninstall them. I've upgraded GNOME without uninstalling them before and it resulted in them still being listed as installed, but with no way to remove them. The extensions site is so flaky it cannot reliably remove broken extensions, or even extensions that you just installed a few minutes ago.

Thu 06:35:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The private keys were 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, and 237.[5] A P-384 elliptic-curve private key normally has about 384 bits of entropy, but these keys had between 3 and 8 bits.[5] Security researcher Scott Helme said he had recovered several of the keys from the certificates' public keys in less than a second.[2] Because the keys could be recovered from the public certificates, anyone could have used them to issue certificates
Thu 06:35:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ for any website that browsers would trust.[5][2] As of 20 October 2026, the cause of the weak keys had not been determined."

Thu 23:01:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], NPR had a junk article the other day.
Thu 23:01:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It said that the collapse of the AI bubble will cause mass unemployment.
Thu 23:01:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they're admitting it's a bubble now?
Thu 23:01:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Typically nobody in the MSM says bubble until it's already collapsing.
Thu 23:02:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They didn't say housing bubble until a couple months before the bank failures.
Thu 23:02:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They didn't say dotcom bubble until the stocks crashed weeks later.
Thu 23:02:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Everyone wants to live in the bubble, nobody wants to say bubble.
Thu 23:03:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They defend the bubble until it's on the verge of total failure.

Thu 23:04:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ $34.68 for the same order in 2026.
Thu 23:05:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I typically only go to McDonald's if it's so cheap because of a coupon that it's just a few bucks.
Thu 23:06:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Did that again today. Double cheeseburger, medium fries no salt (lots of ketchup), and a refillable small Diet Coke. $3.16 plus tax.
Thu 23:06:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But that's not just going up to the register and ordering.
Thu 23:07:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you do it all that way and don't use a coupon glitch, then just the double cheeseburger would cost $4.19. The Diet Coke would cost $1.19. And the medium fries by themselves would be $2.89. For a total of $8.27 plus tax.
Thu 23:07:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's more than a quarter pounder with cheese and a "super size" coke and fries used to cost in 2004.
Thu 23:08:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In 2004 you could get the QPC, Super Size coke and fries for $4.89.
