PassKeys seem like a bad idea. Google backs them up to the cloud, so if your Google account is compromised then all your private keys are compromised. I don't see how that's an improvement over password+2FA at all.

Now security keys I get; keep the private key on an airgapped device. That's good. Hell I even keep my 2FA-OTP salts on a YubiKey.

How to Resolve TOTP Invalid Secret Key Error

Unlock the problem to an "invalid secret key" error that can be received when setting up or changing a time-based one-time password (TOTP).

I don't yet know how to efficiently answer questions about the Swift language, so forgive if the answer is obvious.

Erlang/Elixir have a fault-intolerance library built on top of their version of actors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Telecom_Platform It involves "supervision trees”, where supervisors control the lifespans of actors they supervise, react to unexpected failures, etc.

Is there an equivalent library for Swift?

La #app #Android fatta l’altro giorno ha svolto il suo lavoro, e programmarla così è stato furbo. 🌚️ Ho usato quindi:

  • Quella, per eseguire un piccolo #script #JS per monitorare gli #SMS in entrata, controllare che provengano dal mio numero di #telefono, e siano del tipo giusto (cioè, con il corpo HTML racchiuso all’interno di un elemento XML <post> che ho inventato di sana pianta), assemblarne multipli in una sola stringa di testo se necessario (per la prova di prima non lo è stato), e inviarli con un’apposita richiesta #HTTP ad…
  • Un workflow creato al volo su n8n (che gira sul mio #server), che usa la #API semplificata del plugin WP per pubblicare, dato che per qualche motivo il modulo WordPress integrato nella piattaforma non funziona per il mio #sito.

Tutto insieme, questo sistema mi ha permesso di pubblicare su #WordPress effettivamente tramite un messaggio SMS, inviato dal mio #smartphone principale, ricevuto dal secondario che ha #Internet e fa le sue cose. Nel video c’è la dimostrazione di quel post di prima, appunto; di sfondo, l’interfaccia di #n8n che si aggiorna per mostrare la nuova esecuzione avvenuta, e il #MicroBlog con il nuovo post arrivato… 🐵️

Ora, ripeto che questo era un #EsercizioDiStile, e per il momento nell’anno del signore #2023 non ho esigenza di postare così, ma forse il concetto generale potrebbe tornare utile per le emergenze, e in ogni caso certamente fa figo provare sulla mia #piattaforma l’ebrezza di una funzione che solo #Twitter di tutte ha avuto, e solo per poco tempo. 😤️

Se in futuro volessi davvero usarla, innanzitutto implementerei un sistema di #OTP, così che ogni volta che voglio pubblicare devo anche inserire un codice temporaneo (perché SMS è un colabrodo di protocollo, e sarebbe possibile per dei criminali inviare un messaggio che appare come dal mio numero), poi magari implementerei funzioni come la modifica dei post (oltre che qualche feedback per pubblicazione avvenuta con successo o meno, cosa che ho evitato ora perché dalla seconda #SIM non posso inviare messaggi, solo ricevere). Per chi vuole curiosare, il #JavaScript per #DroidScriptin e il JSON per n8n sono qui: https://gitlab.com/octospacc/Snippets/-/tree/main/SmsToWordpress. 🎀️

Se usate l'autenticazione a due fattori per fare il login al nostro manager:

https://vaultwarden.devol.it

fate bene, blindate i vostri dati!

Ma c'è un problema, se per qualche motivo non potete più generare codice OTP per la verifica in due passaggi non riuscirete più ad entrare e non potremo aiutarvi.

Quindi fate sempre il backup criptato di tutti i dati e usate un multipiattaforma da installare su più dispositivi come .
Se ne usate altri consigliateli nei commenti, grazie 🙏

Why have I only just discovered that you can use KeePassXC as a OTP authenticator? 🤔

@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

I found out that andOTP is now unmaintained, so I decided to find a new home for my OTP for multi-factor authentication or MFA in Android. I wanted to give a try to FreeOTP but I couldn't just restore a backup from one to the other, so I made a migration script from andOTP to FreeOTP (for now only URI format work). Give it a try https://codeberg.org/adelgado/andotp2freeotp

If not secured properly, one-time passwords are a lot more likely to be guessed than you think!

Ever since I've learned that 's default configuration does not prevent brute-forcing, I wanted to discuss the topic in detail and raise awareness.

Enjoy reading! 👇

in terms of industry programming languages that any programmer can hit the ground running with little to no ramp up, does the best job imo. I never used ruby, but its all so obvious you can just get to work. and for distributed systems that need to scale in a flexible way, the eliminates nearly everything that makes webapp development horrible. it's hard to make a good argument for any other industrial virtual machine. implementations being the exception.

@dsp @askonomm also the BEAM is just cool. I personally don't find the JVM very interesting as a subject matter to study, but + is infinitely interesting, it's a proper spaceship

https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/SystemdRestartHidesProblems

This blog post points out that automatically restarting processes can hide problems, which is certainly true. Doesn’t have to be systemd. Something like supervisor trees in / might do the same.

If you’re restarting something, measure restarts and plot them on a graph. If it’s happening, understand why it’s happening. If it’s designed to fail, fail it on purpose at a regular cadence to make sure that failure is being compensated for correctly.

🚧 Brute-Forcing One-Time Passwords 🚧

My last two threads discussed the probability of brute-forcing OTPs, how to do it effectively and how to defend against attacks.

Rush, to tech

I believe that for password-less logins through E-Mail, we should actually use something other than E-Mail.

E-Mail is often connected to phone numbers for recovery, so SIM-Swapping works. They're usually not encrypted, and on-top of that they're not always convenient.

What would they be replaced with? I don't know, but I think we should start brainstorming.

@kkarhan@mstdn.social avatar

@Rush well, and -based standards are an option.

I'd only trust if the sender uses PGP/MIME, but even companies that do have the tech (even if it's a shitty MITM'ing appliance) and personnesl (inhouse/onsite sysadmin) refuse to take one's Pubkey and shove it into their systems to transparently encrypt and decrypt eMail!

Hey les loutres, vous connaissez un outil qui permet de gérer du et qui est utilisable à plusieurs ?

Grosso modo, on a en gestion plein de comptes divers et variés, et on a aucun outil pour en centraliser la gestion. Donc là genre on a un téléphone dédié, mais c'est tout sauf pratique et surtout si le tél décède et qu'on a pas de backup à jour, on va l'avoir dans le popotin.

Merci d'avance, bande de fédiloutres reboostipouétantes ​:boost_request:​

Anyone of you want to squee about their with me? I'm still looking for an interview partner for : https://shippingcast.fandomish.net/admin/hi-from-my-hiatus/

Signal boosts welcome!

So, my interview partner is having problems finding my next guest. If they don't by tonight - would anyone here be willing to talk about their with me? Any , just no anime (bc I just did two anime episodes).
