awilkinsNHS Hack Day!06:59
Azelphuro.O?07:01
awilkinsNot cracking, hacking07:09
Azelphurstill wat07:10
awilkinsTrain arrives, must gather self07:10
DJonesi was just about to tell my wife not to switch her laptop on so she didn't get hacked07:11
DJones:)07:11
DJonesanyway who's idea is 18C at 8am on a weekend, too warm to sleep, too sleepy too get up07:13
DJones This is the life, lying in bed, updating a server using a tablet07:38
Mez_So, I receive an email from paypal08:01
Mez_from a known phishing address08:01
Mez_(server)08:02
Mez_but it's DKIM signed08:02
Mez_and domainkey signed08:02
Mez_correctly as paypal.08:02
Azelphuro.O08:02
Mez_I've tried sending it to spoof@ who say it's a legit email08:02
Mez_But I don't believe them08:03
AzelphurI'm curious, you can forward it to me if you want xD08:03
Mez_(Email telling me that my account was in arrears... but it wasnt..08:03
Mez_!paste08:06
lubotu3Pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)08:06
czajkowskimorning08:06
Mez_hmm08:06
Mez_thats what I thought08:06
Mez_but its not working08:06
Mez_http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007759/08:07
christeli didnt think your PP account could go in arrears08:07
Mez_I think it can if someone charges back and you've spent the money08:07
Mez_or if you lose a dispute or something?08:08
Mez_but I'm rather concerned by that email08:08
Mez_even if it doesnt go to a fishing site... it's not legit08:08
MartijnVdSwon't they try to get it back to 0 by charging your cc?08:09
Mez_looks to be a test08:09
Mez_but concerned that domainkey and DKIM is there08:09
Mez_and correct, AFAICS08:09
AzelphurMez_: yea, it's definitely a phish xD08:09
MartijnVdSMez_: don't log in through the mail08:09
MartijnVdSMez_: type "paypal.com" into your browser and check it like that08:09
Mez_MartijnVdS, I wouldnt XD08:09
christelMartijnVdS: yeah thats what i would have assumed, that they just used the "funding sources" on file to balance the account08:10
Mez_Azelphur, the link actually goes through to PP08:10
MartijnVdSit looks legit08:10
Mez_MartijnVdS, even though the links dont go to paypal and it wasnt sent by paypals servers?08:10
AzelphurMez_: that pastebin you gave is epicly corrupted fyi08:11
Mez_Azelphur, how so ?08:11
MartijnVdSAzelphur: it's not, it's quoted-printable08:11
Azelphur"2.=09Click =E2=80=98Add Funds=E2=80=99 near the top of the page." :P08:11
Mez_what MartijnVdS said08:11
Azelphur*shrug*08:11
MartijnVdSMez_: the "List-Unsubscribe" is fishy08:11
MartijnVdSMez_: and the reply-to08:12
Mez_and the servers it was sent through08:12
MartijnVdSno wait.. that's the From: as well.. and it's @paypal.com08:12
christelyet it is addressed to you by name so doesnt seem super generic08:12
MartijnVdSMez_: report suspecting phish on paypal.com, and check balance there :)08:12
Mez_MartijnVdS, I reported it - i just get an automated email back even though I've asked for an explanation08:12
Mez_saying it's legit08:13
Mez_which I don't believe08:13
Mez_espescially as the servers it's sent through have been reported for a paypal phish attempt before on a major scale08:14
Azelphurindeed08:14
Azelphurand that mkt2944 site is known for phishing08:14
MartijnVdSisn't it just a big mailserver service provider?08:14
Mez_yeah - as far as i can see08:15
Mez_It's like a "mailshot" kinda email08:15
MartijnVdSmakes sense to use the same service provider as the one you're trying to spoof ;)08:15
Mez_MartijnVdS, do you think the email is legit, or not?08:16
MartijnVdSMez_: do you have the GMail "show authenticated mails" lab hing on?08:16
MartijnVdSthing*08:17
MartijnVdSif so, does it show a yellow key next to the mail?08:17
Mez_yes it does08:17
MartijnVdSthen gmail thinks it's legit08:17
Mez_as I said - the DKIM/Domainkey is legit.08:17
Mez_Which is why I think it's a massive security concern08:17
Mez_as the email is saying  I've got a negative balance, which I dont08:18
Mez_it wasnt sent through paypals servers08:18
Mez_and is from a known phishing mail host08:18
Mez_therefore - I'm concerned that DKIM/Domainkey has been compromised here08:18
MartijnVdSMez_: if spoof@paypal doesn't think it's a spoof, it's their problem08:18
MartijnVdSMez_: how would they know your full name though08:19
Mez_MartijnVdS, because they can quite happily get that through G+ these days ?  Because I've got my name all over the web ?08:19
MartijnVdSgood pointw08:19
* Mez_ is rather concerned/disturbed by this08:20
shaunothat's a really odd one.  nothing looks actually wrong, just a lot of red flags08:34
shaunomkt2944 doesn't look particularly scammy.  they're using markmonitor as their registrar.  and they're freaking expensive.  $40k for a one off, but you can beat them down to $10k in bulk08:38
brobostigongood morning everyone.08:38
AlanBellMez_: presumably your account is non-negative?08:40
Mez_AlanBell, yes. it's something like £6 positive?08:40
shaunoThe more I look, the more it looks legit to me08:57
czajkowskiAlanBell: mail sent08:57
* MartijnVdS upgrades to Q09:31
kvarleyHow can I find out what resolution a pdf file is?09:42
MartijnVdSPDFs don't have resolution. The images in them can09:42
MartijnVdSkvarley: what are you trying to do?09:43
kvarleyTrying to dump a pdf page to a jpeg without any change in size09:43
kvarleyIt's an open source diagram but the author used a microsoft visio format so I don't think I can edit that09:43
kvarleyMy bad09:44
kvarleyLibreOffice opened it perfectly =D09:44
kvarleySorry about that xD09:44

StevenR_Awesome. I walked two miles in wonderful leafy sunshine. I bought a printer. I walked two miles home, carrying the printer. I plugged the printer in, connected it to my precise laptop, and clicked next a few times, and now I have a lovely printer test page.13:42
StevenR_from my previous dealings with printers (on any and all OSes), I expected this process to suck more.13:43
popeyPrinters are devices for causing pain.13:46
popeyThey also sometimes print stuff.13:46
ali1234printers lol13:47
Seeker`people still print things?13:48
Seeker`other than circuit boards13:48
StevenR_popey: yes. The good part of being a network specialist, is that if I can ping the printer, my work is done.13:48

SuperEngineer..count your MB in GB17:27
penguin42SuperEngineer: Oh I'm ok with it, it's just unusual17:27
SuperEngineerpenguin42: for what it's worth - I updated 4 Ubuntu systems this week in less time than one windoze sys17:28
penguin42oh I've never had Windows systems at home, and haven't used any at work for a few years17:29
dogmatic69Vista service pack 1 back in the day was 1.something gigs17:33

popeymy team have taken over releases of unity, bamf, dee, libunity etc17:48
popeynice to get the gimp fix out17:49
penguin42what was up with that?17:49
popeyof course we're just packaging the fixes everyone else does, and don't do the actual fixes ourselves17:49
popeybamf isn't perfect17:49
popeyespecially with multi-window apps like gimp17:49
popeyglad to see upstream have fixed that by making single window gimp ;)17:49
penguin42yeh, pity that missed PP - I must give it a go17:50
popeyyeah, guess we can get it in a backport17:50
popeyonce it hits quantal17:50
Davieypopey: is your team the new Didler?17:50
* popey hugs Laney 17:50
popeyyes17:50
Davieysuper17:51
ali1234single window gimp is not as good as it sounds17:52
ali1234you might have expected MDI, but no17:52
ali1234it uses tabs so you can't look at two images side by side17:52
penguin42your gimp doesn't like being trapped in a single window?17:52
popeyerk17:52
ali1234it's probably the weirdest thing i've ever seen17:52
popeyyou cant open in a new window?17:52
penguin42ali1234: Doesn't let you tear a tab off?17:52
ali1234no and no17:52
popeywow17:53
popeythats demented17:53
popeyalmost worse17:53
ali1234it's like they implemented single window in the worst possible way just so they could later drop it because "nobody uses it"17:53
DavieyI *really* wish they'd review the name of it.17:54
popeyfork it :D17:55
Davieygo fork yourself. :)17:55
penguin42Daviey: Yeh, it's really difficult to google for instructions on using the mask feature17:55

Davieypopey: hah17:55
Daviey"gimp mask feature" .. first 3 hits for me are accurate :)17:56
ali1234gimp masks lol17:59
ali1234gimp doesn't support using a path as a mask18:00
ali1234that really sucks18:00
ali1234also it doesn't support adjustment layers18:00
ali1234nor smart objects for that matter... they're not as useful though18:01
ali1234the thing about the name is... if it had a better name, people would expect it to be actually good18:02

MarquessDeBonBonSuperEngineer: apart from Americans.19:39
MarquessDeBonBonEnglish is spoken in the US as if it's their fifth language which they only use when talking to their elderly grandma at weddings and Christmas.19:39
MartijnVdSMarquessDeBonBon: Americans speak a horrible version of English :)19:40
