00:00.04 | frabbit | i treid service networking restart but that doesnt work |
00:00.07 | frabbit | *tried |
00:01.08 | gnarface | there's a few things it could be, but first of all, never remove a device from /etc/network/interfaces while it is still up, or it gets confused |
00:01.53 | frabbit | gnarface: yeah thats what i painfully found out now =D |
00:02.34 | frabbit | i did a search for an eth0 file everywhere but i ddnt get a clue what to do |
00:02.34 | gnarface | just ifdown the device first, THEN comment it out in /etc/network/interfaces |
00:02.43 | frabbit | gnarface: yup |
00:03.25 | frabbit | hower before i rebooted ive done this and added the correct device for the wlan stick in interfaces |
00:03.30 | frabbit | *however |
00:03.37 | frabbit | ip a showed it to me |
00:04.10 | gnarface | did wpasupplicant also give you a dhcp client? |
00:04.15 | frabbit | but i couldnt bring it up and i didnt found out (without internet) how to use it |

00:04.25 | gnarface | if you don't have a dhcp client installed you'll also have to give it a static ip in addition to the normal wifi stuff |
00:04.40 | frabbit | i do not wpa_suppcliant atm, im reading about it atm |
00:04.46 | frabbit | but i have no dhcp here |
00:05.02 | frabbit | yeah in interfaces right? |
00:05.09 | gnarface | yes |
00:05.14 | frabbit | like the one for eth0 |
00:05.16 | frabbit | ok =) |
00:05.26 | gnarface | your router may need to be configured to allow static ip addresses |
00:05.29 | frabbit | must it be different? |
00:05.49 | frabbit | the router runs with static eth0 adress |
00:05.57 | frabbit | *address |
00:06.12 | gnarface | cheesy plastic home routers often have different rules for the wifi from the physical ethernet ports |
00:06.24 | gnarface | so that's not a relevant comparison, necessarily |
00:06.26 | frabbit | oh i see... |
00:06.45 | frabbit | ddnt know that only used wlan once |
00:06.56 | gnarface | you'll want to read the device's documentation |
00:07.10 | frabbit | and for that "phone" here to visit f-droid |
00:07.23 | gnarface | you need to be familiar enough with it's features to make sure it's set up to do what you want |
00:07.31 | frabbit | gnarface: errr.. i just want to try first |
00:07.53 | gnarface | it's not something i could even do completely blind |
00:08.06 | gnarface | there's not enough uniformity on consumer device features or default configurations |

00:12.04 | frabbit | shit.. what i have to do? so much stuff here? is that really necessary? |
00:13.16 | frabbit | i thought i could stick that thing in, edit interfaces file, type in my passphrase and thats it. |
00:14.42 | gnarface | well, there's too many unknowns for me to answer simply |
00:14.45 | gnarface | it will bear some testing |
00:15.35 | frabbit | =( |
00:15.43 | frabbit | im looking for videos now... |
00:16.00 | gnarface | i've been able to get a wifi connection up with as little as just 2 additional lines below the iface line, but it varies a lot by protocol and device. sometimes you need extra lines to specify stuff it can't auto-detect right due to limitations of the router firmware or the driver itself |
00:16.29 | gnarface | or maybe you're just getting the password format wrong |
00:16.46 | gnarface | or maybe the router isn't set up to allow static ip addresses for wifi by default (common) |
00:17.18 | gnarface | if you don't want to mess with router settings, then i'd check on that missing dhcp client first i think (usually they do enable dhcp by default) |
00:18.31 | gnarface | in one particular case, the computer was just too slow and the router was impatient, so it would take MINUTES to finish connecting, and work fine once connected but fail to complete connecting like 4 out of 5 times |
00:19.21 | gnarface | but at this point for all i know you have everything else right and just forgot to specify the gateway |

00:24.04 | frabbit | =) |
00:24.19 | frabbit | i read the log site |
00:24.36 | gnarface | anyway |
00:24.37 | frabbit | so how can i find out what passphrase type my router is using? |
00:24.51 | gnarface | it should be mentioned in the manual |
00:25.03 | gnarface | but you can probably heavily infer from it's gui |
00:25.03 | frabbit | it a very long passphrase with all types of characters |
00:25.17 | frabbit | in the router manaul? lol no way xD |
00:25.27 | gnarface | i think the iwconfig manpage contains the /etc/network/interfaces file notation for various password types |
00:25.36 | frabbit | its just a thre pages "long" comic book |
00:25.49 | frabbit | *three |
00:26.01 | frabbit | ok |
00:27.44 | gnarface | i'd have to dig out an old machine to check but i just remember having to prepend "s:" to certain passwords or there would be a parsing error |
00:27.52 | gnarface | something like that |
00:28.02 | gnarface | the man pages are there so we don't have to remember every detail |
00:28.15 | gnarface | but once you get this working, i recommend you make a backup of that file |
00:34.58 | frabbit | im fucked up atm |
00:35.16 | frabbit | didnt want to spend so much time again on computer stuff today |
00:35.43 | gnarface | i don't blame you, but to some degree you only make it worse by thinking like that |
00:36.09 | frabbit | isnt there any step by step (video) tutorial? |
00:36.21 | gnarface | maybe but not that i know of |
00:36.38 | gnarface | i had to learn to do this the hard way, before there were video tutorials |
00:37.02 | gnarface | part of the issue is that too much of the setup is going to be router specific |
00:37.03 | frabbit | it sucks that there a tons of tutorials for this gui shit: click here click here click here thasts it, but it lacks of terminal tutorials, espacially on yt |
00:37.56 | frabbit | who needs all this etwok manager tutorials? you can click on that icon and see enable wifi or whatever, no one need a tutorial 4 that! |
00:38.03 | frabbit | *network manager |
00:38.17 | gnarface | heh, yea there's a real social barrier there. once you absorb enough of the text you start neglecting the videos, but the video people neglect the text too... |

00:40.58 | gnarface | yea, it's true, but it's just very expensive to stick on the internet. text is comparatively cheap, and again there's the generational thing; most of us had reading beaten into us (sometimes literally) |
00:41.42 | gnarface | people of that generation will tend to suggest you solve your reading problem before you solve your networking problem |

00:48.01 | frabbit | but 8 years old |
00:49.26 | gnarface | frabbit: one thing is, you should also be able to completely define the wifi connection with just iwconfig and ifconfig commands. maybe if you're having trouble with the /etc/network/interfaces syntax, try testing bare iwconfig and ifconfig commands for comparison, maybe it'll be easier to see the mistake that way |
00:49.51 | gnarface | (also maybe easier to see the relevant errors) |
00:50.46 | frabbit | is the device name of my wlan stick a sensible information that i shouldnt share? |
00:51.20 | gnarface | wlan0? probably not |
00:51.29 | gnarface | or the model#? probably not either |
00:51.32 | frabbit | no its not wlan0 |
00:51.46 | gnarface | the wifi router itself, yea don't tell people the model of that unless it's desperate |
00:51.51 | frabbit | or the information interfaces contains? |
00:52.06 | gnarface | the password and SSID are highly sensitive, obviously |
00:52.13 | frabbit | ip gateway etc. |
00:52.21 | gnarface | the internal LAN ip addresses less so, the public addresses very much so |
00:52.22 | frabbit | gnarface: haha =D |
00:52.40 | frabbit | like my keys? ;P |
00:52.52 | gnarface | right. make sure /etc/network/interfaces is not globally readable |
00:52.59 | frabbit | it isnt |
00:53.11 | frabbit | but i wanted to paste it to show you |
00:53.15 | frabbit | so i wont then... |
00:53.36 | frabbit | or wait ill set placeholders |
00:53.45 | gnarface | oh. yea i wouldn't paste it unless you swap out all the ip addresses and authentication info out with fake stuff |
00:54.35 | frabbit | ok so i sticked in the wlan usb and runned ip a |
00:54.49 | frabbit | it shows up there at third place after lo and eth |
00:54.59 | gnarface | well that's progress |
00:55.57 | frabbit | the name of that devices i copied into interfaces on a line #iface DEVICENAME inet static |
00:56.02 | frabbit | *device |
00:56.30 | gnarface | should be correct |
00:56.40 | frabbit | below that i have just copied the address netmask and gateway line that i use for eth |
00:56.48 | gnarface | except it would be "iface DEVICENAME inet dhcp" if you're using dhcp |
00:56.58 | frabbit | all lines are disabled with # at the beginning atm |
00:57.06 | frabbit | gnarface: no i dont |
00:57.11 | frabbit | i use static |
00:57.48 | gnarface | did you say you had a "gateway" line under eth0 before? |
00:57.57 | frabbit | yes |
00:58.08 | gnarface | you gotta move that to the wifi device |
00:58.27 | frabbit | 02:54 < frabbit> below that i have just copied the address netmask and gateway line that i use for eth |
00:58.39 | gnarface | oh, ok yes, you said that |
00:58.46 | frabbit | gateway is the router right? |
00:59.04 | gnarface | yes, router's internal ("LAN") ip |
00:59.08 | frabbit | ok =) |
00:59.30 | gnarface | note that it might be in a different subnet than the wired ethernet though... this is one of the things you have to actually check in the router |
00:59.42 | gnarface | they vary too much to guess |
00:59.48 | frabbit | so no i just have to run "ifdown eth0" to disable my current connection, then disable the eth lines in interfaces and enable the wlan ones |
00:59.52 | gnarface | some bridge with the physical ethernet, some set up an entirely separate range by default |
00:59.59 | frabbit | oh... |
01:00.12 | gnarface | yea |
01:00.25 | frabbit | ok i look at the router gui... |
01:00.39 | gnarface | so you might not be able to just copy the lines from eth0 to the wlan0 or whatever it's called... you might have to actually change the subnet. check the router gui |
01:01.38 | gnarface | consumer devices are all over the board on this behavior and you can't trust them to "do what's sane" in the best of cases, but you're at an important crossroads in your knowledge level, where the very concept of "do what's sane" is going to become a moving target in your head soon |
01:02.23 | gnarface | if you run "/sbin/route -n" with eth0 as your connection, then run it again after switching to wifi, you can see by the different output if the gateway is correct |
01:04.21 | frabbit | i cant find any information about gateway stuff in the router gui (its a shitty router...) |
01:04.53 | frabbit | /sbin/route -n? ok i will do this now, so im disconnected for a moment |
01:06.11 | gnarface | basically, see how "UG" is on a line that ends with "eth0" ? |
01:06.40 | gnarface | you need to have only one "UG" line, and it needs to be on the device you're actually using, so it'll have to be on a line that ends with the name of your wifi device instead |
01:06.58 | gnarface | this is just a sanity check you can use when you're done to make sure it's right |
01:08.16 | gnarface | there are advanced situations where you might need two gateways simultaneously, but for now just consider that a broken configuration |
01:08.29 | frabbit | back |
01:08.44 | frabbit | so /sbin/route -n has the same gateway on both |
01:09.11 | gnarface | you mean it stays on eth0 even when you switch to wifi? |
01:09.12 | frabbit | but i have no connection so, probably because i need to enter my passphrase somewhere before |
01:09.22 | gnarface | possibly |
01:09.33 | gnarface | too many possibilities for me to know |
01:09.52 | *** join/#devuan frabbit (~free_rabb@unaffiliated/free-rabbit/x-8401877) |

01:19.27 | gnarface | frabbit: that's the thing, there's nowhere else to put it but /etc/network/interfaces, in this scenario |
01:19.43 | gnarface | frabbit: that's why i suggested trying it by iwconfig instead as a test |
01:22.26 | frabbit | =o ! u mean saving the passphrase in plaintext in interfaces? |
01:22.59 | gnarface | yea, that's why i said to make sure it's not globally readable. but really only root should be able to read it (this is NOT the default) |
01:23.15 | frabbit | what? |
01:23.19 | frabbit | wait |
01:23.34 | frabbit | what the heck?! |

01:25.13 | frabbit | why is that not root only? |
01:25.18 | frabbit | by default? |
01:25.55 | gnarface | because by default you're not expected to put passwords in there |
01:26.03 | frabbit | wipes his ~/.bash_history |

01:26.50 | gnarface | here |
01:26.56 | gnarface | an example using dhcp |
01:27.45 | frabbit | that wpa-psk is the passphrase? |
01:27.47 | gnarface | but in the past i've had to set other stuff, like wpa-driver, wpa-ssid, wpa-pairwise, wpa-group, wpa-key-mgmt, wpa-proto..... all kinds of stuff for less compatible routers |
01:28.10 | gnarface | yes, wpa-psk is the passphrase for wpa and wpa2... note that for wep it's actually something else (and has a different format) |
01:28.23 | frabbit | ok ive wpa2 here |
01:28.43 | frabbit | the only trustable thing as far as i understood... |
01:28.58 | gnarface | yea, nobody is using WEP anymore, i just mention it so you don't get confused looking at really old documentation |
01:29.12 | frabbit | gnarface: thy for the hint =) |

01:49.30 | frabbit | when i use the eth it says at last eth0 becomes ready |
01:51.04 | gnarface | so it starts to handshake and doesn't complete |
01:51.20 | gnarface | there could be a lot of reasons for that, but my first guess would be the static ip is refused by the router |
01:51.29 | gnarface | or maybe the gateway is wrong? |
01:51.47 | gnarface | "... becomes ready" might even be printed if the gateway is wrong though, not sure |

01:52.07 | gnarface | well the first thing i'd do is check the router's GUI to make sure i'm even using the right IP range... |

01:58.02 | *** join/#devuan fred`` (fred@earthli.ng) |
02:00.41 | gnarface | frabbit: well, the router will default to some *specific* ip range, and if your static setting is not in that range it won't work. |
02:00.57 | gnarface | frabbit: and that specific ip range may be different for the wireless and wired networks |
02:01.33 | gnarface | i can't tell you much more than that without seeing the router's gui myself |
02:02.07 | frabbit | what do i have to look 4? |
02:02.37 | gnarface | it's probably with or near the wifi and dhcp settings |
02:03.03 | gnarface | i'd expect the manual to mention it |
02:03.10 | gnarface | but i'd also expect you to be able to change it from the gui |
02:03.34 | frabbit | as i said the manual is a three sites comic book... |
02:03.59 | frabbit | gnarface: yeah i can change different addresses there |
02:04.00 | gnarface | you're sure the router supports this wifi device, right? |
02:04.24 | frabbit | zeyes ive used it with my phone |
02:04.24 | gnarface | there can be different types of wireless... 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, etc etc |
02:04.28 | frabbit | *yes |
02:04.55 | frabbit | in replicant u need an external wifi device |
02:05.18 | frabbit | and ive used that device that im using atm on my laptop |
02:05.25 | frabbit | i have no other either |
02:05.26 | gnarface | i'm sure it works with your phone, but that's not what i asked, i asked if you're sure THIS wifi device works with the router (the one you're trying to get working in the linux box right now... it's been used with this router before? yes or no?) |
02:05.41 | frabbit | yes |
02:05.48 | frabbit | i have only one router |
02:05.55 | gnarface | ok |
02:06.00 | frabbit | so i use that router for my phone too |
02:06.19 | gnarface | when you try to get it to connect, how long do you wait? |
02:06.22 | frabbit | ok i also have a libre router, but i couldnt get that thing to work before... |
02:06.37 | frabbit | the phone? |
02:06.44 | gnarface | no, the linux box |
02:06.53 | frabbit | the laptop u mean? |
02:06.55 | gnarface | yes |
02:07.01 | frabbit | with eth or wlan? |
02:07.09 | gnarface | wlan... might take 60 seconds |
02:07.14 | gnarface | usually it's much faster but it could take up to a minute |
02:07.18 | frabbit | oh ok didnt know this o_0 |
02:07.34 | frabbit | i quit after 10 seconds or so ^_^ |
02:07.45 | frabbit | so i try again |
02:07.59 | gnarface | when it works you should be able to ping the gateway |
02:08.13 | frabbit | oh i pinged my webmailer |
02:08.21 | frabbit | but that didnt worked |
02:08.40 | frabbit | so wait a minute and ping the gateway address ok got it |

02:57.07 | gnarface | i'm sorry dude, looks like a bug. but maybe get real close to the router and see if it says? |
02:57.37 | gnarface | important part is... first it says authenticated, then associated, then deauthenticating Reason: DEAUTH_LEAVING... |
02:57.48 | gnarface | which i'm guessing means it thinks you logged off |
02:58.03 | gnarface | if it immediately logs you off thinking you logged off, that sounds like a known bug i've heard of |
02:58.03 | frabbit | "but maybe get real close to the router and see if it says?" err.. what? |
02:58.12 | gnarface | oh, i think maybe also could be a signal issue |
02:58.18 | gnarface | or some other interference |
02:58.48 | frabbit | hm i think the last one is when i run ifdown on the wlan |
02:59.11 | gnarface | oh, that is you actually doing it then? if so then, from this it just seems like it's working |
02:59.15 | gnarface | there's no sign of an error here in that case |
02:59.31 | gnarface | i'm still outta ideas |
02:59.38 | gnarface | really might be the ip range thing... |

13:41.31 | frabbit | anyone about the gpg vulnerability? |
13:42.02 | frabbit | i dont understand how these things handeled. does the version not matter? |
13:42.22 | enyc | frabbit: normally debian patch packages rather than changing whole verison , in most cases, but exceptions exist |
13:42.32 | enyc | frabbit: normally devian passes most debian packages stragiht through to devuan users |
13:43.46 | frabbit | and how can i see if that security patch is in a specific version of a programm? |
13:45.33 | frabbit | i know that normally the third number of a version number is the patch number |
13:46.04 | frabbit | so here at my devuan ascii gpg 2.1.18 means there was 18 patches since version 2.1 |
13:46.41 | frabbit | but gpg project says that they fixed that SigSpoof issue in version 2.2.8 |
13:46.45 | frabbit | so... |
13:46.51 | frabbit | its totally confusing |
13:47.34 | frabbit | is some of the 18 patches in devuans 2.1 gpg identically with the patch 8 in gpg 2.2? |
13:47.43 | frabbit | how to identify that? |
13:48.14 | frabbit | when theres a changelog for gpg it will say the patch came with 2.2.8 |
13:52.14 | frabbit | https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-12020 |
13:55.11 | frabbit | so.. is this the fixed gpg version in debian: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/DSA-4224-1 |
13:55.22 | frabbit | 1.4.18-7+deb8u5 |
13:58.45 | frabbit | its not really evident to me... and even for no one who is not a dev or geek or whatever.. its confusing |
13:59.38 | frabbit | i mean if theres a news that says we fixed xy in distro xy thats easy to understand. |
13:59.54 | fsmithred | does gpg still work? |
14:00.08 | frabbit | fsmithred: huh? o_0 |
14:00.15 | fsmithred | Here, it seems to be broken more often than not. |
14:00.35 | frabbit | for me its working |
14:00.50 | fsmithred | do you know a keyserver that really exists and works? |
14:01.10 | frabbit | oh that doesnt work for me too |
14:01.21 | frabbit | i always download keys manually |
14:01.27 | frabbit | from websites |
14:01.39 | fsmithred | I used to use pgp.mit.edu but it doesn't seem to work any more. |
14:02.43 | frabbit | fsmithred: do u know where in that debian versin number i can see the patch 8 from ggp 2.2? |
14:04.57 | fsmithred | not sure what you're asking. You linked a page that shows a fix applied to an older version of gnupg. |
14:05.38 | frabbit | i mean stable debian was jessie when that fix came and it had a different version number, because programs in stable are always older then the newest release of that program. |
14:06.25 | frabbit | but shouldnt there a unified indicator for such fixes that is evidend for all kind of versions of a program no matter what distro? |
14:06.54 | frabbit | fsmithred: there was this SigSpoof vulnerability in gpg 2018 |
14:07.06 | frabbit | gpg team fixed that with 2.2.8 |
14:08.10 | frabbit | the version number of the version gpg was in debian stable at that time seems to be 1.4.18 |
14:08.23 | fsmithred | look at the page for the CVE |
14:08.37 | frabbit | fsmithred: yeah ive done this and its confusing |
14:08.58 | fsmithred | what cve is it? I see two for 2018 |

14:10.51 | fsmithred | appears to be fixed in jessie |

14:11.08 | frabbit | ive posted that link already |
14:11.21 | frabbit | thats not the point |
14:12.33 | frabbit | i mean there should be an indicator in the versionnumber itself that shows if all available security fixes are in that specific version or not |
14:12.40 | frabbit | for example |
14:13.05 | fsmithred | how the hell would they know that? |
14:13.19 | frabbit | gpg 2.2.8 was the the gpg version that came with that fix for the SigSpoof issue |
14:13.41 | *** join/#devuan bsd4me (~me@98-106-74-65.gci.net) |
14:13.45 | fsmithred | read the changelog for the package to see when specific bugs are closed |
14:13.48 | frabbit | at this tim the gpg version in debian stabel was 1.4 |
14:14.41 | frabbit | at that day debian bring that fix to their old version of gpg it was marked as the patch 18 of their gpg version 1.4 correct? |
14:15.30 | frabbit | but there should be a suffix that indicate this fix |
14:15.35 | fsmithred | I don't know about patch numbers, but I can see that they did patch the 1.4 version |
14:15.51 | fsmithred | the suffix indicates the iteration of the update |
14:16.03 | frabbit | for example -s8 for the patch in gpg 2.2 |
14:16.22 | frabbit | so the debian version should named 1.4-s8 |
14:16.28 | fsmithred | you asking to change the package naming conventions |
14:16.44 | frabbit | yes |
14:16.54 | fsmithred | deb8u5 means jessie, fifth update of this package |
14:16.57 | frabbit | or im asking why they are so confusing |
14:17.11 | frabbit | yeah thats what i know |
14:17.19 | fsmithred | because it's the debian way? |
14:17.28 | onefang | Some package updates include a LOT of security bug fixes. That wouldn't work to include that info in the version number. |
14:17.39 | onefang | Read the release notes. |
14:17.49 | frabbit | onefang: why? |
14:17.59 | onefang | There's even an apt add on that makes that very easy. |
14:18.15 | onefang | So you can find the information you want to somehov encode in the version numbers. |
14:18.15 | frabbit | every new fix could just add the number the devs of the programm used as their patch number |
14:18.36 | onefang | And if there's a dozen patches? |
14:18.48 | frabbit | -s6472829 |
14:19.04 | frabbit | is there a lack of space in a line= |
14:19.05 | frabbit | ? |
14:19.23 | frabbit | -s6472829 would be 6 million patches... |
14:19.49 | frabbit | its still short, 7 letters |
14:20.13 | frabbit | deb8u5 is six letters |
14:20.15 | onefang | Why would that be less confusing that reading actual descriptions in release notes? |
14:20.28 | frabbit | onefang: because every distro has its own |
14:21.03 | frabbit | so for a specific distro i need to check their specific release page on foobar.somewhere.org |
14:21.18 | frabbit | instead of just running the version option with that program |
14:21.25 | frabbit | gpg --version |
14:21.30 | onefang | Nope. |
14:21.45 | frabbit | onefang: what nope? |
14:23.02 | onefang | Install apt-listchanges, and it will show you the release notes when you update a package. This will include CVE numbers and actual descriptive text. With an option to email it to you once installed. |
14:23.08 | fsmithred | the version number will have the cve numbre of every patched vulnerability? |
14:23.40 | frabbit | if gpg releases a security fix and use the naming convention -s123 every distro could just add that suffix to its package version number as it adds that patch |
14:24.19 | frabbit | debian: gpg --version 1.4-s123 -- arch: gpg --version 1.9-s123 and so on... |
14:24.55 | frabbit | onefang: ok interessting didnt know that |
14:25.06 | frabbit | onefang: but not every distro have apt |
14:25.08 | onefang | So you get MyGreatPackage-1.4-s123-s456-s789-s485-s23763-s13487697654-s12354854 |
14:25.18 | frabbit | onefang: no |
14:25.45 | onefang | Yes, coz not all packages get these patches applied all at once, some distros pick and choose. |
14:26.00 | frabbit | gpg 2.2-s123 means the 123 security patch for that program, no matter what version (2.2 here) it has |
14:26.19 | onefang | And CVE numbers are the industry standard for numbering these things. They are longer than s123. |
14:26.44 | frabbit | the hundred and twenty-three patch for that program since the first version of that program was released |
14:26.53 | frabbit | *security-patch |
14:27.09 | onefang | Things don't work like that. This is what we are trying to tell you. |
14:27.19 | onefang | Ther are multipel patches, NOT |
14:27.22 | frabbit | onefang: no u dont understand me |
14:27.28 | frabbit | 16:23 < onefang> So you get MyGreatPackage-1.4-s123-s456-s789-s485-s23763-s13487697654-s12354854 |
14:27.34 | frabbit | that indictaes that... |
14:27.44 | onefang | There are multiple patches, NOT just a single patch that includes everything. |
14:27.51 | frabbit | *facepalm* |
14:27.55 | frabbit | i didnt said that |
14:28.25 | frabbit | if theres a security issues it will be patched correct? |
14:28.41 | frabbit | *issue |
14:28.51 | onefang | There will be one or more patches for EACH security issue. |
14:28.57 | frabbit | yeah |
14:29.14 | frabbit | so for example theres security issue foobar |
14:29.33 | frabbit | and the actual version of the affected version ist 1.2 |
14:29.49 | frabbit | the fix needs 3 patches |
14:30.07 | frabbit | then the version would called 1.2-s3 after the patches |
14:30.27 | onefang | And the other six security issues? |
14:30.47 | frabbit | -sSUMMARY-OF-SECURITY-PATCHES-HERE-THE-PROGRAM-GOT-SINCE-ITS-FIRST-RELEASE |
14:31.13 | frabbit | onefang: after 1.2-s3 there come 6 new patches u mena? |
14:31.17 | frabbit | *mean |
14:31.36 | onefang | MyGreatPackage-1.4-s123-s456-s789-s485-s23763-s13487697654-s12354854 It gets unwieldy very quickly. |
14:31.38 | frabbit | 1.2-s9 would be the most up to date version then |
14:31.45 | frabbit | dude... |
14:31.53 | frabbit | read me posts! |
14:32.00 | onefang | Read mine. ;-P |
14:32.01 | frabbit | *my |
14:32.15 | frabbit | i do so i can tell that u do not undertstand! |
14:32.21 | onefang | You are assuming that all distros apply all patches in the exact same order. |
14:32.44 | onefang | It doesn't work like that. |
14:33.06 | *** join/#devuan tomtastic (~tomtastic@90.207.139.39) |
14:33.22 | frabbit | if theres a security issue the distro will include the fix from the devs of a program |
14:33.32 | fsmithred | not always |
14:33.37 | frabbit | fsmithred: yes |
14:33.43 | frabbit | and thats the point |
14:33.49 | fsmithred | some vulnerabilities are left unpatched |
14:34.18 | frabbit | with a unified suffix for the security fixes in the version number u could easily see that |
14:35.23 | frabbit | "look distro xy still has -s123 but newest is -s124" |
14:35.27 | fsmithred | I'm not getting how that would be easy |
14:35.33 | fsmithred | what's 124 mean? |
14:35.38 | fsmithred | what's 3? |
14:35.48 | fsmithred | that's on another chart somewhere |
14:35.49 | frabbit | the 124 security patch of that program |
14:36.16 | fsmithred | I need a table to convert CVE to single digit patch |
14:36.16 | onefang | And how does this 3 relate to the CVE you just read about in an article? |
14:36.29 | frabbit | cve doesnt matter |
14:36.35 | fsmithred | ??? |
14:36.55 | onefang | CVEs matter to the rest of the world. That IS the unified numbering system you want us to reinvent. |
14:36.59 | frabbit | gpg devs see "oh theres a security problem" they make a fix |
14:37.17 | frabbit | it doesnt matter to the version number |
14:37.32 | onefang | Exactly our point. |
14:37.39 | frabbit | fine |
14:37.44 | fsmithred | the CVE number is how you find the description of the vulnerability |
14:37.46 | onefang | That's why they mention CVEs in release notes. B-) |
14:37.49 | frabbit | i didnt offered that |
14:37.58 | fsmithred | or any other discussions about how to fix it |
14:38.07 | frabbit | fsmithred: i know |
14:38.15 | frabbit | onefang: i know too |

14:39.17 | onefang | No, you offered a long string of random random digits in version numbers that are as meaningless as what you are trying to replace. It's no less confusing, which was your initial issue. |
14:39.37 | frabbit | my point is to see with just a --version option if a program is up to date with the available security fixes for that program (not up to date with the newest features of that program) |
14:39.55 | frabbit | onefang: no tahts what u still think |
14:40.15 | frabbit | how many security patches has gpg got since its first release? |
14:41.04 | frabbit | i need a number |
14:41.41 | onefang | And how many of those may or may not have been applied to the three year old version in ASCII, with some being skipped for good reasons? Which would completely invalidate simply reporting a count. |
14:42.05 | frabbit | onefang: "skipped for good reasons" ? |
14:42.21 | frabbit | skip a security fix for good reasons? o_0 |
14:42.54 | onefang | Didn't apply security issue 123, coz that only applies to a bug introduced in a later version, but we included 124, coz that applies. |
14:43.21 | frabbit | hmm... |
14:43.31 | frabbit | thats a point then finally |
14:43.44 | onefang | smiles and heads to bed. |
14:44.06 | frabbit | but then still one could use the -s suffix |
14:44.43 | frabbit | its then for all distros with that specific release version of that program |
14:45.06 | onefang | It'll be up to you to convince ALL the developers to include that in their --version output. Good luck. |
14:45.51 | frabbit | so programm-1.4-s3 in debian would be the same as programm-1.4-s3 in arch, but different from programm-1.5-s3 in gentoo or something... |
14:46.23 | fsmithred | and you realize that it's useless to talk to us about it, because we have no power to change it. |
14:46.43 | frabbit | onefang: i wont. but it would be easier to see if a program has newest security fixes, without visting a website first.... |
14:47.11 | frabbit | fsmithred: i didnt want "you" to change it =D |
14:47.52 | frabbit | all taht talk started because of my confusion about that fix for the SigSpoof issue |
14:47.55 | frabbit | in gpg |
14:48.40 | frabbit | its a bit meta about that topic anyway.... |

15:05.48 | spuria | IDK what you'r doing, but SOME programs saves log, usually demons like nginx, openssh, or others. in normal conditions I can't recall a single program that could store a password in a log. the output of cli programs it's NOT usually stored (some terminal emulators do saves encrypted tmp outuput files that are deleted at some point, but they tells you that and I don't think you'r using one of those) |

22:17.32 | gnarface | they're ANSI color codes. emacs and bash support them. (off by default in emacs) ... not sure what else. i know lynx won't. web browsers won't. |
22:18.13 | gnarface | vim might, but i'd assume if so it's off by default there too |
22:19.35 | gnarface | i've only used them in emacs in the built-in shell, but this looks like info for enabling it everywhere: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23378271/how-do-i-display-ansi-color-codes-in-emacs-for-any-mode |

22:20.24 | frabbit | zeah in vim neither sorry forgot to mention |
22:20.31 | frabbit | *yeah |
22:21.02 | frabbit | oh i have no emacs |
22:21.25 | frabbit | i think i use screen then again |
22:21.26 | gnarface | there's a link on there for how to enable it in shell-mode, which is much easier |
22:21.36 | gnarface | oh, screen might hose emacs |
22:21.41 | frabbit | shell-mode? |
22:22.01 | gnarface | yes, there's a built-in terminal emulator in emacs |
22:22.10 | gnarface | M-x shell |
22:22.56 | frabbit | oh i see |
22:23.08 | frabbit | ive heard emacs is an os? =D |
22:23.26 | gnarface | there have been simpler ones |
22:23.41 | frabbit | ok =) |
22:24.16 | gnarface | you might want to also make some edits to your ~/.bashrc if you want to make use of those fancy ANSI colors in the emacs shell |
22:25.06 | gnarface | mine is from a pretty old copy, but you can probably still figure out what section i changed to this, it's not a big file: http://paste.debian.net/1149650/ |
22:25.11 | frabbit | gnarface: but i dont want emacs xD |
22:25.43 | frabbit | i just found that colors in lynis audit usefull to quick check important notes |
22:25.44 | gnarface | oh, well this ~/.bashrc edit will let you see them in your regular shell too when you use ls |
22:26.04 | frabbit | yeah i know |
22:26.20 | frabbit | but i wnated to see the colors in a file <( |
22:26.26 | frabbit | *;) |
22:27.02 | gnarface | yea, but here's a thing about me. the argument "waaa, nothing but emacs will do this so i'm just going to pout" isn't going to gain any traction with me |
22:27.13 | frabbit | never mind i will read it like before, on the tty with screen and 1 billion lines to scroll back to xD |
22:28.54 | gnarface | i have to assume there's certainly a simpler solution i just don't know what it is. emacs was one of the first linux programs i was exposed to and i shamelessly use it for all kinds of things nothing else can do |
22:29.06 | frabbit | gnarface: what? xD i cant translate that |
22:29.21 | frabbit | ok |
22:30.55 | gnarface | if you're ever in a situation where you've got to open a text file that's too big, and every text editor chokes on it.... try emacs :) |
22:31.25 | frabbit | hm.. wipe syncs after it finishes, but that stocks because dd is working on that hdd... |
22:31.39 | frabbit | ctrl+c doesnt help... |
22:31.55 | frabbit | gnarface: ok =D |
22:31.57 | gnarface | sometimes you have to also add patience |
22:32.09 | gnarface | you can jam your I/O up good |
22:32.17 | frabbit | gnarface: zeah.. but io wait for ten minutes now... =( |

22:33.18 | gnarface | i know what you're talking about, i've done it here accidentally too once or twice. it can take like 20 minutes to unfreeze i think. depending on how you called it you might just have to wait for it to finish |
22:33.24 | frabbit | i had that problem once and i killed the wipe proces but then the tty was dead and i got stock there when i changed to that tty... |
22:33.43 | gnarface | yea, i don't know a way out of that one. don't do that |
22:33.45 | frabbit | ok |
22:34.01 | frabbit | it must have been finished already |
22:34.12 | frabbit | was just a text file with 200 lines |

23:08.07 | gnarface | frabbit: you can just stop sshd, though if you have 2 ports open then you have more than just ssh running; ssh only uses one port |
23:08.28 | gnarface | frabbit: (no, that won't break anything) |
23:08.37 | frabbit | oh! |
23:08.56 | frabbit | so what does that mean that i have two ports open here? =( |
23:09.18 | gnarface | it means you need to stop TWO things, not just one |
23:09.41 | gnarface | i can only guess what the other thing is. mabye it's portmap? |
23:09.53 | gnarface | maybe it's your mail server |
23:10.10 | frabbit | xD yeah but u said ssh only uses one port so were did that other ssh port came from? |
23:10.18 | frabbit | i didnt opened them... |
23:10.26 | frabbit | wait |
23:11.18 | frabbit | 1. tcp protocol and program name is sshd 2. is tcp6 protocol and program name is sshd |
23:11.29 | frabbit | both are LISTEN |
23:11.36 | gnarface | oh |
23:11.44 | frabbit | is that bad? |
23:12.05 | gnarface | no it's just sshd listening on ipv6 and ipv4 both. i'm always disabling ipv6 here still so i forgot it would do that. |
23:12.14 | frabbit | phew... |
23:12.27 | frabbit | resists a heart attack... |
23:13.14 | frabbit | gnarface: how did u disable ipv6? |
23:14.19 | frabbit | i have only wrote ipv4 addresses in interfaces... |
23:14.30 | frabbit | or is that in the router? |
23:14.52 | gnarface | well, it's both really |
23:14.58 | frabbit | looks at his stupid isp roter that has its own will... |
23:15.15 | frabbit | gnarface: ok so router ionly here... =( |
23:15.19 | frabbit | *only |
23:16.30 | gnarface | well, the trick is if your virtual servers don't support ipv6 then nothing inside them will either |
23:17.18 | gnarface | but most services should be able to be set to listen onlyl on a specific ip |
23:17.23 | gnarface | only* |
23:17.42 | gnarface | the sshd_config defaults to listening on all, but it's simple to change |
23:18.15 | frabbit | hmm.. in the router is no ipv6 address... |
23:18.25 | frabbit | it sazs i have only i ipv4 one |
23:18.29 | frabbit | *says |
23:18.34 | gnarface | if your router and your ISP won't pass ipv6 traffic then it's only relevant on your LAN anyway |

23:31.33 | frabbit | oh these typos makes me crazy.... |
23:32.10 | gnarface | you can override daemon startups by manipulating the symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d/ directories |
23:32.26 | gnarface | there's a utility to change them in groups called update-rc.d (check the man page) |

23:37.49 | gnarface | uh, i think so, or something similar anyway |
23:38.05 | frabbit | but i cant break anything with that? |
23:38.29 | gnarface | you can but in this case you probably won't because you shouldn't have anything else on the system named ssh |

23:39.15 | frabbit | =) |
23:39.42 | gnarface | well i know there's only one debian package that provides /etc/init.d/ssh so if you have another one then your problem is self-inflicted |
