johnhaitascyberanger: ping00:40
johnhaitaswrst: you here?00:43
wrstwell barely johnhaitas thunderstorm and server issues :)00:44
johnhaitaswrst: you know of a reasonably priced CA? or how to self-sign ssl certs in a legit way?00:47
johnhaitaswrst: stay safe ;)00:48
Unit193We had a storm, but not big00:49
johnhaitaswe have rain00:52
johnhaitasi think i was programming during the storm00:53
johnhaitasi went outside and it was cold and wet00:53
johnhaitasit was warm and dry when i started00:53
Unit193curl or wget00:56
johnhaitascurl01:01
johnhaitasdepends01:01
johnhaitasbut generally curl01:01
Unit193Both work for this, just didn't want to decide :P01:03
Unit193Not I have expand \o/01:04
cyberangerjohnhaitas: pong01:13
cyberangerthat storm seems to have made it here, just thunder & lightning, no rain yet01:14
cyberangerso I'm seeing 30-60 miles out maybe01:14
* Unit193 wonders why he's still in Freenode01:15
johnhaitascyberanger: you know the best way to produce/get a legit ssl cert?01:18
cyberangerjohnhaitas: define legit01:20
johnhaitaswill not be flagged by software as untrusted01:20
johnhaitaslike web browsers01:20
johnhaitasor jabber01:20
cyberangerah, so not legit, in a crypto sense, but a dumb software sense (self-signed is legit from a crypto perspective, but nothing to authenticate it's genuine except for the fingerprint)01:21
johnhaitasright01:22
johnhaitasor rather ... how does one become a CA? ;)01:22
cyberangergonna cost time, money or both, it's gotta go through a Certificate Authoritiy01:22
cyberangerjohnhaitas: there's already so many, and it's gotta be trusted in each machine, now if this were a company, one could make an internal, corprate CA, but really sounds like you need to look at verisign, godaddy, startssl01:23
cyberangerthe very companies I never recommend (partially due to the flawed CA design)01:24
cyberangerstartssl has some sort of a free tier, they do aim to be good at what they do01:26
Unit193cacert01:26
cyberangerUnit193: not an option, due to johnhaitas' requirement it be recognizied in jabber clients & web browsers (they're better than most CA's though, they really aim to follow the proper model)01:27
Unit193cyberanger: Some have it, but yeah, not all01:27
cyberangerjohnhaitas: http://www.startssl.com/01:28
cyberangerUnit193: too few for the requirements01:28
Unit193Aye01:28
cyberangerit's disabled in ubuntu even01:28
Unit193Annoyingly, yes01:29
binarymutantdon't you have to pay for ssl certs?01:29
cyberangermozilla ignores it, apple too, can't see the status of microsoft, but come on, it's microsuck01:30
binarymutanthttp://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28401:30
cyberangerbinarymutant: eh, few exceptions for that rule, but yeah01:30
cyberangerbinarymutant: and self signed fails to meet johnhaitas' requirement of passing a CA check01:31
binarymutantah bc clients have to accept it?01:31
binarymutantcomplicated process :/01:31
cyberangerbinarymutant: well, pretty much, not just accept it, but accept it without user intervention01:32
binarymutantya that's what I meant. Actually click a button or two01:32
cyberangerI could see doing that process though binarymutant if it were a company and IT were capabile enough to deploy & secure crypto (only seen fortune 500 companies & the DoD do that, or the little guy with an obsession for crypto)01:33
binarymutantdebian does it01:33
binarymutantit is annoying though to accept them :D01:34
cyberangerI've done it with the DoD's Common Access Card01:43
binarymutant^^ too scary for me01:43
cyberangeraccept three CA's, then thousands of sites are verified against the Dod's certs01:43
binarymutantwith debian all the different internal machine have to be accepted individually, quite annoying01:44
cyberangerthe dod is a two-factor mutual system though, and they verify the CA's by the fingerprints01:44
binarymutantfingerprints??01:45
binarymutantwowza01:45
cyberangerbinarymutant: like one should do with ssh, DoD tries to keep good crypto protocalls01:45
cyberangerverisign, comodo, idk what they do, I don't trust them for it (little choice though, widely used)01:46
binarymutanteveryone uses verisign01:46
binarymutantit's like ~50$ though01:47
cyberangeryep, despite the fact there is little public scrutiny to how they operate01:48
binarymutantwell like all security, they've been broken before01:48
binarymutant<-- isn't down with the security loop though01:48
cyberangerbinarymutant: thing is, people have blind faith now, when the model is broken now01:48
cyberangerssl & tls are fine, but the CA model is shot to .... yeah01:49
binarymutantall ssl has been broken too, security is loop. Break&fix&repeat01:50
binarymutantmd5 collision or something idk01:50
cyberangerwell, enough effort & time, resources, you can brute force anything01:57
cyberangerbut that's beyond the NSA on a wide scale even01:58
cyberangernot aware of any attacks that work in a reasonable timeframe when everything is done correctly01:58
binarymutantidk I stray from sec.02:01
cyberangerI run headfirst into it with a tinfoil hat & a midevil javlin shouting charge02:10
* cyberanger has the bruises to prove it02:10

chris4585I really wish my laptop wasn't a laptop03:55

binarymutantDeep Space Window Manager = sweet name for a wm23:14
Unit193I would guess it's not as awesome as it's name though, am I right?23:16
binarymutantit might be, I don't like {{{lisp}}}{{{{though}}}}{and it's based}{{on stumpwm}}23:19
binarymutantso I haven't tried it23:21
binarymutantoh it's (((((lisp)))) not {{lisp}} oops :D23:24
chris4585nvidia 7025 or radeon 2100, which is better or are they equal crapola?23:30
binarymutantwhat's their speeds?23:31
chris4585thats the problem I can't really find specs lol23:31
chris4585one guy suggested the radeon23:31
binarymutanthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units23:32
binarymutantradeon one came out later...23:34
binarymutanthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units and the radeon is faster23:35
binarymutantby 75mhz23:36
chris4585ah thanks binarymutant23:45
chris4585well I'm glad I got that one then23:45
