The link to login should probably be https.<br /> @attritionorg: Did you notice http://postmodern.github.com/ isn't HTTPS? Maybe complain to them first...<br /> @postmodern_mod3: You never submit credentials to postmodern.github.com. Also, why are you replying? @osvdb made their point, issue closed.<br /> @attritionorg: saying OSVDB should be 100% HTTPS and running a site that isn't is #hypocrisy<br /> @attritionorg: because OSVDB uses HTTPS for creds, no reason to use it for the rest of the site. You wasted 15 mins of their lives.<br /> @postmodern_mod3: To clarify, I said 100% https would be "ideal". http is fine for a static site.<br /> @postmodern_mod3: I guess your right. Someone on the internet was wrong.<br /> @jcran: am i wrong in thinking i could grab a cookie over http & use that to change pass?<br /> @attritionorg: possibly. then what? you make changes to a database that require moderation to go live? annoyance at best it seems?<br /> @jcran: but yeah, annoyance at best, it seems #wikipediastillfuctions<br /> @jcran: yeah, i'm behind ssl only where it makes sense, but unless @osvdb reqs old pass to change pass, accounts can be comp'd<br /> @attritionorg: doesn't require an old pass to change, will open a ticket on that. overall, the mods consider HTTP for that site acceptable risk<br /> @jcran: thanks!<br /> @attritionorg: no thank you, hadn't noticed that or I would have ticketed it long ago (begin the mocking)<br /> @jcran: no worries, anyone effing w/ it gets the wrath of a thousand rabid squirrels anyway. #notadvisable<br /> @postmodern_mod3: sorry if I'm wasting more of your time, but could you allow https URLs for /show/osvdb/:id ? It redirects me back to http.<br /> @OSVDB: Can you provide a good reason for this? Again, that is part of the public database, nothing sensitive.<br /> @postmodern_mod3: Also, web.nvd.nist.gov seems to support https requests. So I would think OSVDB should too.<br /> @attritionorg: NVD has a lot of bad habits too, doesn't mean @OSVDB should follow them...<br /> @jkouns: maybe best to just use NVD then if it meets your needs =)http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6976053151http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6976053151Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400chatosvdbhttp://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6975842569http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6975842569Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400unsolicited updatestweet<a href="http://attrition.org/security/rebuttal/rebuttal-ponemon_and_the_obvious.html">Security Rebuttal: Ponemon on Network Breaches [Richmond/Ponemon]</a>: <p>This is a rebuttal piece to “Security Professionals Say Network Breaches Are Rampant” (2011-06-22) by Riva Richmond (@rivarichmond) of the New York Times.</p>http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6975762695http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6975762695Fri, 24 Jun 2011 22:00:00 -0400rebuttal<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2JDHC23">DEF CON Security Charlatan of the Year Nominations</a>: <p>So many choices!</p>http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6869221562http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6869221562Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:46:12 -0400linkConferencecharlatan<a href="http://attrition.org/security/rebuttal/rebuttal-northrop_grumman_0day.html">Security Rebuttal: Northrop Grumman, Cyber-gangs, APT and 0-day </a>: <p>security curmudgeon:</p> <blockquote> <p>This is a rebuttal piece to “Northrop Grumman constantly under attack by cyber-gangs” (June 21, 2011) by Ellen Messmer (@EllenMessmer), Senior Editor at Network World.</p> <p>Warning: Due to Northrop Grumman, Timothy McKnight and Ellen Messmer’s use of inflammatory words like “Advanced Persistent Threat” and the mis-use of “zero day”, the witnesses will be treated as hostile.</p> </blockquote>http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6868589971http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6868589971Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:00:00 -0400rebuttal“A shout-out to all the real journalists on the Internet; writing to give people the real facts, not writing to meet the evening deadline.”<br/><br/> - <em>@<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/LulzSec">LulzSec</a></em>http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867532004http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867532004Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400quote[cupcake]: i have standards you know <br /> [jericho]: obviously you don't, given your association with attrition.orghttp://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867492310http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867492310Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400chatstaffhttp://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867423172http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867423172Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400Conference[cupcake]: directory permission denied <br /> [jericho]: don't stop in asshatshttp://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867508230http://tumblr.attrition.org/post/6867508230Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400chatstaffasshats
