simple CLI MUA for GPG
by Russell Coker 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

I'm after a simple CLI MUA for sending GPG signed and/or encrypted messages. I use kmail for almost all my email as everyone who reads mail headers knows. ;) Kmail is generally quite good in everything that isn't broken. Some time ago I started a discussion about a replacement for Kmail due to some problems, the most serious of which is that versions newer than Wheezy don't work reliably for me. As I haven't found anything which is suitable for my needs (thanks for the advice, it was good but just didn't suit me) I'm still using Kmail. Kmail's GPG support seems flakey to me to the stage where I've given up trying. So my plan now is to use something simple for sending GPG encrypted mail (which is a small portion of my email) and use Kmail for the majority of mail for which it works quite well. What do you recommend? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

greylisting
by Russell Coker 20 Apr '16

https://rimuhosting.com/knowledgebase/linux/mail/greylisting%20with%20postg… I have followed the instructions at the above URL to configure greylisting for non-list mail to the LUV server (that is for the direct address of the president etc). That should cut down on spam without inconvenience. I might implement it for the committee list too as that is AFAIK the only list that accepts posts from non-members. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

I am As Mark has decided to go public I'm writing a summary of some of the suggestions I made in private mail. I've redirected it to luv-main because securing Linux devices is a suitable topic for that list. It's certain that your password, system, or both are compromised, but given that you are using Debian it's most likely that just the password is compromised. The first thing to do is to change your Gmail password while using a device that you believe to be secure (IE something other than your current PC). Then enable 2 factor authentication and print out the QR code for the 2 factor authentication so you don't lose it. Make sure that you are using the latest version of your web browser. If you use Chromium be aware that you have to use Jessie or Testing/Unstable to have a fully supported version. Once you have 2 factor enabled you aren't at much risk of losing your account entirely. Then you can setup device specific passwords for phones etc. You want to do this as a priority as currently it might be possible for hostile parties to wipe any Android devices you may own and do other unpleasant things to you. I don't know if there is a 2factor app for Desktop Linux that does the same thing as the Android app. There probably is as the source has been released under a free license (it's in the f-droid repository). Also I recommended printing the QR code for the 2factor app to use, if you don't have an Android device this won't be useful. But I think you can get a number from the Google web site to use instead of the QR code (the code is just a way of reliably sending a big number). -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Impending Crypto Monoculture
by Chris Samuel 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hi folks, Given the ongoing crypto discussion I thought this post on LWN "The prospect of a crypto monoculture" from a few weeks back (publicly available now) might be of interest: https://lwn.net/Articles/681615/ It's a discussion of Peter Gutmann's post to comp.encryption.general entitled "On the Impending Crypto Monoculture" about how we are heading towards a situation where the only strong encryption that seems well designed is both designed and implemented by a single group, led by Dan Bernstein. There is an interesting rebuttal of the fanboyism remark in the LWN article in one of the comments here: Peter's post is archived here: https://lwn.net/Articles/681616/ Peter has been doing crypto for a long time and wrote the excellently titled "Everything you Never Wanted to Know about PKI but were Forced to Find Out": https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/pkitutorial.pdf It's an interesting situation, though I think I'd trust Dan a bit more than I trust the USG now. :-) All the best, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC

Default routing changing automatically
by Dan062 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hi Luvers I have a pc with 3 nics eth0, eth1 and wlan0 running Debian 8. eth0 is on board nic eth1 is a usb ethernet adapter wlan0 is a wifi usb dongle wlan0 is the connection to the external world. (192.168.1.17) eth0 and eth1 only connects to local devices (192.168.0.11 and .12 respectively) The system is configured to be accessed over ssh via wlan0, which works fine for a while. However after a while (usually 24+ hrs), a default route via eth0 will appear in the routing table with a lower metric value than wlan0, and it cannot be accessed via wlan0 anymore. If I delete it, everythig will be ok, but it will appear again later. How do I stop this from happening? (and why is this happening in the first place)? Thanks in advance.

This looks like a very big OUCH for latest generation of Intel based laptops! -- desktops might be okay though. http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/41713.html Kind Regards AndrewM
