Brace for a lot of questions:

I seem to recall that there was a Mobilizon instance set up here on infosec.exchange some time ago.

Is that still up and running? If it is still up and running, where do I find it? Also, is there a page which lists all the different fediverse services running under the infosec.exchange umbrella?

linuslagerhjelm,

I did find meetups.infosec.exchange via Google. However, that one is giving me a 502

linuslagerhjelm,

@derekmceachern thank you! 🤩

Might be worth pinging @jerry about the 502 then

linuslagerhjelm,

@jerry @derekmceachern indeed it does! Awesome 🤩 thanks 🙏🏼

linuslagerhjelm,

@jerry @derekmceachern however. I thought I would be able to just use the same login as on here, but seems like my user isn’t found

I hate that I'm now a frequent user of ChatGPT. It's not that it's good, it's just that Google has become so unbelievably useless that it's near impossible to get usable results. It's like they've reverted to pure keyword based search. I just get results that (sometimes) contain my search terms, but not relevant to the context of my search.

linuslagerhjelm,

@malwaretech I experienced the same thing but took to perplexity.ai instead. It is basically like a traditional search engine but it summarizes the top matches into a TL;DR version that matches your query. It often works pretty well

One thing about ending a long relationship that no one talks about is how much WORK it is to tell everyone in your circles about it. And also how utterly draining it is.

We really need to do away with this type of authentication.

The tests are often ambiguous. More importantly, they don’t meet accessibility requirements noted in WCAG 2.2. Specifically section 3.3.8 on “cognitive function tests”:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/accessible-authentication-minimum.html

Take this example here. Does “direction of” mean mirror the hand or point toward the hand?

Even neurotypical people could be confused by this.

linuslagerhjelm,

@markwyner I encountered a captcha looking like this a while ago. Which is actually the most terrible one so far imo. I had genuine problems solving it.

linuslagerhjelm, to security

So. Apparently I’m giving a talk about and at work. Does anyone have any good resources on the topic?

I have already read the spec, but perhaps if there were some good high level overview stuff to be inspired by.

I honestly don't think the human body were made for exercise - I mean, if it was, why is every muscle in my body hurting today?

linuslagerhjelm,

@nlovsund The human body is specifically designed for partying, which is why muscles don't tend to be sore after a party. It checks out

@yawnbox I’m sorry. I did not find a dm feature.

Would love to chat over dm. But as I said, my app did not show it. Would love to hear from you

    @GossiTheDog rebounds me of something the professor said when I studied art history: “every time we think that we know something, some pesky archeologists digs something up that completely throws that previous knowledge out the window”

    My friends at is hosting an event next week. If you are there and interested in cyber security, you should attend: https://www.meetup.com/owasp-stockholm/events/293021766/

    They are also looking for new members to help run the chapter, so if you’re interested in contributing to the community, that is a great way 😃

    What are the top DAY JOBS of Russian cybercriminals? Okay, this is unscientific for sure, but having spent ridiculous amounts of time tracking down so many cybercriminals who also turn out to be Russian, here's what I see over and over (not necessarily in any order):

    1. Web designer
    2. Web hoster
    3. Nature tour company operator
    4. Computer hardware sales
    5. Disk jockey/deejay (weirdly common)
    6. Physical security services/goods
    7. Programmer
    8. Photographer/Videographer
    9. Travel consultant
    10. Real estate broker

    Most of these professions offer opportunities for a mobile and less regimented lifestyle, as well as a lot of wiggle room for how much taxable "income" they make.

    linuslagerhjelm,

    @briankrebs cyber criminal by day, dj by night? The stereotype would be that both those activities are done during the night 🤔

    Or perhaps a weekday/weekend split?

    linuslagerhjelm, to privacy

    I have been thinking about lately and the quote “things will never get better because people don’t care about privacy “. But maybe that’s the wrong way to think about it. Maybe we should start to think about it more like how we think about food.

    In the food industry, there are regulations in place that limits what kind of chemicals can be used when producing it. And this is, in part, because we don’t expect the average consumer to be knowledgeable enough to make an educated decision about all content in all the food that they eat. And I believe that there’s a similar thing when it comes to privacy. We shouldn’t expect everyone to be a privacy expert, instead we should make it so that only privacy friendly options are available.

    The only way this can be done is in my opinion through regulation. was a step in that direction. It is not perfect but we need to see it for what it is. A first step, now we need to learn from the mistakes and take the next steps to make it better.

    weeeeelp

    linuslagerhjelm,

    @Viss where does the name “Enhanced browser privacy” come from?

    I mean, I understand that it is just marketing to make it sound better, but surely they have some nonsense change that they point to as the thing that will enhance your privacy in order to protect themselves from lawsuits? I have yet to find that.

    linuslagerhjelm,

    @Viss surely. But it would be nice to be able to explain to my non-informed friends that: “They claim it enhances privacy because X, but it does not because of Y”.

    But none of the articles I’ve read on the topic explains what the X is.

    linuslagerhjelm, to iOS

    I posted this question on twitter while I was still hanging out there but don’t think I’ve asked the question here.

    Does anyone know of a good reader for ? Ideally it is (in no particular order of importance):

    • good looking
    • No account required
    • syncs with iCloud (bonus)

    Just rewatched this about the and I must say that it remains one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Strongly recommend: https://www.docplus.com/details/panama-papers/MHhnwXJx/

    Apologies everyone. The DNS servers that Infosec.exchange were using have been under a heavy ddos attack for most of the day. I’ve moved DNS to a CDN, but that took some time to propagate out. As far as I can tell, all the major dns providers are resolving correctly now. Apologies for the outage. (Again)

    linuslagerhjelm,

    Metatext doesn’t work quite as well as I remember. Any recommendations for iPhone?

    linuslagerhjelm,

    @dell I’ve settled for Mastoot and really like it!

    jerry, (edited ) to random

    I have a very serious question that I need the fediverse’s help with:

    linuslagerhjelm,

    @jerry after trying out a handful, I finally settled for Mastoot. It is the only app I found to maintain a smooth and predictable timeline.

    linuslagerhjelm, to random

    Okay, I think I'm giving up on having things migrated properly, so here's my post again:

    I’m originally a Swedish guy who moved to Copenhagen a year ago to start a business in Cybersecurity. I started out as a general software developer who has specialised into application security in general, and building secure applications in the cloud in particular. And I have a new found interest in distributed tech.
    When I’m not working, I usually roam the galleries of Copenhagen.

    Looking forward to meet new people with similar interests here 😃
