> What have you blocked the attacker from doing? Not blocked necessarily, but if they want to leverage a stolen token, they’re now forced down a more difficult and highly visible p…

> That being said, you could probably create a pair of colliding images, give one to a news outlet or something, then later post the second (presumably banned) one. The app would o…

Ignoring MD5/image format-specific collision realities, theoretically an attacker could submit a contraband image that collides with a valid, allowed image they may want to remove.…

Not for me - seems it depends on libssl1.0 and buster ships 1.1

Clips were autoplaying in the live updates tab of twitter.

It has good in-kernel support for virtio drivers (e.g. kvm, bhyve, vmware) and can also run domU in the latest release. It doesn't support "vmware tools" as such, but does support …

Well, it's not obsolete - more incomplete. OpenBSD has supported ipv6 natively for a long, long time. Additionally, with a "home/office" router, there's many ways that IPv6 may be …

Not 100% sure, but I think this is to mitigate exploitation of UAF (Use After Free) flaws. Adding an unpredictable delay in between when an application frees some memory, and it be…

> anyone wanting to know OpenBSD's position on virtualization should spend 20m-1hr digging through threads like that Okay, okay. Personally, I think the fact that OpenBSD did not s…

If you actually read the thread he was reacting to the premise that: as a secure operating system, OpenBSD should implement virtualisation (in this case, Xen) due to its security b…

Is this really a compromise? OpenBSD has happily run as a guest for a long time now, with various virtio drivers being added some time ago. Solutions like virtualbox and xen reach …

On the flip side, if they were offering TLS services to these sites, they're literally man-in-the-middling encrypted comms to those sites. And in scope of US law-enforcement/intel …

OpenBSD has had VirtIO (supported by KVM, VMWare and now virtualbox too) guest support for a while now. AWS uses Xen and domU support is a lot more invasive - OpenBSD had supported…

> How do you justify the 1.3% share on servers[1]? OpenBSD is a research operating system. A lot of their development and deployment methods do not align with the needs/wants of la…

Theo has been softening on x86 virt for a long time. Additionally, he's still right. Don't rely on it to enforce security boundries (e.g. host untrusted systems and trusted systems…

I guess the goal of Security is to not become the next OPM or Hacking Team. I agree with what you say regarding perimeter security, a concept quickly decreasing in relevance in tod…

I'm a security guy so I obviously have a differing viewpoint, but when it comes to ensuring what data comes in and leaves your environment there's little choice. The ability to ana…

Running an internal DNS resolver is actually very cheap, almost every broadband CPE device runs or can run its own DNS proxy resolver. It's also a great source of information when …

Circumventing your companies firewall is not a great idea in the first place. Additionally, if they have aggressive egress filtering, its likely that the only DNS communication wil…

5.8 is still currently in development/snapshot - not for amateur users. 5.7 is the latest official release. 5.8 is due on Nov 1.

> And yet the OP was turned down for not being able to invert a binary tree Your source is a series of salty tweets.

That's not what the interview process is like at all. They're more interested in how you approach real world issues (the questions I got asked were conceivably real-life issues a c…
