...FreeBSD is it now possible to un-reserve ports? ( I've been waiting for this since forever ... have spent countless days - $$$ - trying to install workarounds, only to junk them later. I've even been paid a consulting gig to develop this, and declined to deploy it on my own servers :-/ ) iang http://askslim.blogspot.com/2006/05/freebsd-61-disabling-reserverd-ports.html Friday, May 26, 2006 FreeBSD 6.1: Disabling Reserverd Ports A common misfeature found on UN*X operating systems is the restriction that only root can bind to ports < 1024. Many a dollar has been wasted on workarou...

Back in 2001 Patrick Godeau posted to this list a link to an awesome track called stonehenge. A bunch of us here downloaded it. Somehow I managed to hose my copy and was wondering if anyone on this list still has it around and could post a link or email it to me? I absolutely love that track and I can't even see where I could purchase it... as far as I know it's a one of a kind gem,

Dear FreeBSD users, Slightly more than three years ago, I released FreeBSD Update, my first major contribution to FreeBSD. Since then, I have become a FreeBSD committer, joined the FreeBSD Security Team, released Portsnap, and become the FreeBSD Security Officer. However, as I have gone from being a graduate student at Oxford University -- busy writing my thesis -- to a researcher at Simon

Hi everyone, Not sure if you've read http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/SoftIntCodeSign/ . should some kind of advisory be sent to advise people not to rely solely on MD5 checksums? Maybe an update to the man page is due ? : " MD5 has not yet (2001-09-03) been broken, but sufficient attacks have been made that its security is in some doubt. The attacks on MD5 are in the

The manual page says, that rcmd() is only to be used by root's processes. On other OSes (Solaris, AIX), trying to call rcmd() without being root simply fails. FreeBSD, however, tries to be helpful and invokes rcmdsh in this case, which is inefficient and leaves the stderr's filedescriptor (fd2p) unfilled. Why? My understanding is, this is to make it harder for would-be attackers to

Hi. I've been playing a bit with "use sound card as an entropy source" idea. This simple program does what I wanted: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/sndrand.tbz The program is very simple, it should be run with two arguments: % sndtest /dev/dspW 1048576 > rand.data This command will generate 1MB of random data. With my sound card: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)>

Hi, I'm looking for some software to allow users to login and manage Asterisk conferences (define conference user lists, call users to join a conference, etc.). I'm aware of astconfman (https://github.com/litnimax/astconfman). Are there any others? Thanks in advance. Regards, IanG

A thought has been bugging me for a month or so, but I don't know where to look for the answer. Would it be possible to port the OpenSSH ssh client to PalmOS and other handheld OS'es like Symbian (EPOC) or PocketPC? Is the processor on PDA's fast enough? Would many libraries have to be ported aswell? I know that PalmOS and EPOC has an IP stack implemented.. Since the development

...f very badly. Tor has many, many problematic behaviors relevant to congestion control in general. Let me paste a bit of private discussion I'd had on it in a second, but a very good paper that touched upon it all was: DefenestraTor: Throwing out Windows in Tor http://www.cypherpunks.ca/~iang/pubs/defenestrator.pdf Honestly tor needs to move to udp, and hide in all the upcoming webrtc traffic.... http://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/10/16/test-the-new-firefox-hello-webrtc-feature-in-firefox-beta/ webrtc needs some sort of non-centralized rendezvous mechanism, but I am REALLY h...

I work for a company that builds an appliance based on FreeBSD (4.X) and we've just had our first question come up about exporting the appliance out of the US (specifically the EU). Since FreeBSD uses OpenSSL/OpenSSH, I'm under the impression that we need to gut out anything higher than 56bit (3DES/etc) crypto out of it. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, This question may be slightly OT for this list, but it does concern securing services on my FreeBSD servers :-) At the moment I have some existing (self-signed) SSL certs for Dovecot, Exim and Apache. It's mostly only me that uses them for now, but I'm planning on expanding that, so want to try and do things "right". My

I have long included tinc in the cerowrt project as a lighter weight, meshy alternative to conventional vpns. I sat down a few days ago to think about how to make vpn connections work better through fq_codel, and decided I should maybe hack on a vpn to do the job. So I picked up tinc's source code for the first time, got it working on IPv6 as a switch in a matter of minutes between two

Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the

I just confirmed the following bug on my firefox. http://secunia.com/advisories/14820/ Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050219 Firefox/1.0 (I think my firefox is a month or two behind, from ports, but the advisary indicates both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 are effected.)
