IIRC macOS got rid of privileged ports for these reasons. Dunno about iOS... But in any case what cell provider is going to let you handle inbound traffic? Most of the wifi networks you are on are NAT'd, etc. At best you'd probabl

Yea, agree with this guy. Anyways I took "novel attack vector" to just mean "first time we've heard of using SSPR against AD". They even used the existing acronym "SSPR", so they're not claiming to ha

They just claim to have identified abuse of an "SSPR" attack happening against Azure AD in the wild. What part is a lie?

While you can't memorize it (memorizing a fair amount of entropy would take an intelligent human quite some time), you can of course store them offline (it's just a key). Today's initial implementation on macOS restricts expo

A long time ago I wrote a variant of this - the signup page would generate a token, place it in a hidden password field, submit a hidden form, and instruct the user to click the "Save password" dialog in their browser. One advanta

You can use mTLS client certificates (kept in the system key store) in browsers this way; but the UX is pretty hard to get right, and certificates nearly always have to have an expiry date to deal with the compromise-able nature of keys imp

Lots of people end up with AgentForward on by default as a sort of "make it work" fix, and lots of people use `git+ssh` on untrusted servers. Here's an example: https://abyssdomain.expert/@filippo/1096596

It took me a while to understand what you were talking about at the end there. I think the author is referring to a grammatical period ('sorry' vs 'sorry.'), not the menstrual kind, lol.

This strikes me as a very strange opinion, especially now when Threads has 100M users 5 days out and is expected to support ActivityPub. In any case: since the beginning, pointing and laughing at Mastodon (a single AP implementation) was al

Trying to be fair here - it's technically not linked to any blockchains. It's just (ab)using the cryptographic primitives provided by the Metamask wallet app to sign things with a key stored in the wallet. That key might (probably

Because they clicked a button in this incredibly intuitive UX that said "Sign wiki edit", and then clicked "Confirm". I think you massively overestimate most users' grasp on cryptographic primitives...

I have never tried Waze, forgot there was a third option. Will have to give it a try after reading this thread; maybe it avoids some of the bugs in gmaps I keep running into

Sorry, but this is an absolutely terrible idea. Signing things is cool. Humans on the internet should sign more things. But why in the world would you want to use the same key that can instantaneously shred the dollars in your bank accou

Agree the quality of Apple Maps has improved to the point of acceptability in my experience. In addition to privacy reasons, I end up using Apple Maps because Google Maps has been having a lot of really terrible bugs for me lately. Probably

That sounds horrible and I would immediately quit the ecosystem... I have never experienced this in nearly a decade of use, but I also pay for TV+; is it possible you got the bad luck of getting a terrible A/B test or something?

To my knowledge all modern DCs have out-of-band networks for this sort of thing that provide serial access to the BMC chip, nothing old school about that. Old school is having to submit a ticket to Jerry in the DC to walk the crash cart dow

If you are split-cloud under a homogenous puppet master without homogeneous break-glass SSH access (which would be crazy) then probably your best bet is to just re-kick the world. But the scaling factor for this sort of thing is most certai

It's about cutting off any free exit ramps (people that use bots to xpost and tools that allow you to find/follow friends on new platforms), same as before. Then you make people choose: Twitter or "them".

You linked to an article wherein the company itself deemed its own research into a different mRNA-type vaccine for a separate disease as not yet safe for human trials. This sounds like the type of caution you want to see from a vaccine rese

Nit: mRNA vaccines were used in human trials for cancer immunotherapy starting in 2001, rabies in 2013, ebola, zika, influenza, cytamegalovirus, etc followed. It's not accurate to say the technology had "never been used in humans
