Completing the above thought (CLIMweb) : there are two obvious categories of references, those that contain (backup) the reference and those that do not.

I have a question regarding this. Would a device operating at the network boundary, parsing packets and only permitting some signed wad in, only signed wads out be valuable in any way? |
16:21 |
ascii_field |
trinque: i described this device in agonizing detail |
16:21 |
mircea_popescu |
trinque maybe. |

16:21 |

trinque: problem is it can be easily dosed |
16:21 |
trinque |
aha, and I discussed it with you before as well |
16:21 |
ascii_field |
trinque: imho it is the only correct way to make a network at all. |
16:21 |
jurov |
only recourse is for the enemy to not know exact endpoint |
16:22 |
ascii_field |
what we have today is roughly analogous to early spark gap radio |
16:22 |
mircea_popescu |
ascii_field and that's also what the msr license is all about, too. |
16:22 |
mircea_popescu |
jurov recourse is to have many of them. |
16:22 |
ascii_field |
where there was room for exactly one transmitter/receiver per continent |
16:22 |
mircea_popescu |
ddos only works a) briefly and b) on large targets. |
16:22 |
mircea_popescu |
it's a sort of laser. |
16:22 |
ben_vulpes |
mike_c: python -m unittest test_v |
16:22 |
trinque |
seems that if everything coming/going is parsed, verified, it drastically reduces the amount of remote exploitation possible |
16:22 |
trinque |
and that seems a far smaller target to build than a whole new arch |
16:22 |
mike_c |
kthx. maybe test_v.py should have if __init__==main unittest.main()? is that not standard? |
16:23 |
ascii_field |
mike_c: if you like |
16:23 |
mike_c |
i haven't used this module much. not sure what sop is. |
16:23 |
mike_c |
this module = unittest |
16:23 |

mike_c: i'd prefer that someone were to add the desperately needed topological walker, rather than focusing on the little chipped paint bits, but that's just me |
16:23 |
jurov |
mircea_popescu: i don't see any big obstacle against ddosing 1000 targets with slow connections vs. targeting one |
16:23 |
mircea_popescu |
ascii_field dude let people do what they do. |
16:23 |
mike_c |
i'm just trying to run the tests for now :) |
16:23 |

ascii_field lets |
16:23 |
mircea_popescu |
jurov is this an argument to ignorance ? |
16:24 |
jurov |
why ignorance? |
16:24 |
mircea_popescu |
"i don't see" |
16:24 |
ben_vulpes |
mike_c: nominally unittest does test discovery, i focused on making tests though. |
16:24 |
mike_c |
ah |
16:24 |
ben_vulpes |
it should run with python -m unittest from the same directory as v, but... |
16:25 |
jurov |
i'm trying to imagine this thing. if we are going to have 1000 nodes , they will necessarily be on misc home connections |
16:25 |
ben_vulpes |
this is a thing i do once per project and always forget how it's supposed to go. |
16:25 |
ascii_field |
trinque, jurov: if device which silently drops unsigned (or signed by unblessed) packets straight on the floor were mass-produced and inexpensive, ddos as a thing ends. |
16:25 |
mircea_popescu |
jurov it's unsound to proceed from that point by makin assumptions. |
16:25 |
ben_vulpes |
and then on top of that, every project i pick up has some arcane setup for running its tests, because...legacy. |
16:25 |
ascii_field |
or rather, doesn't end, but becomes a voluntary idiocy like running winblowz |
16:25 |
mircea_popescu |
ascii_field and so as alf would point out, "nothing hapepened" |
16:25 |
mike_c |
it's running now, and failing. |
16:26 |
ben_vulpes |
ya, one out of 16? |
16:26 |
ben_vulpes |
"always leave a failing test" |
16:26 |
ascii_field |
mike_c: what is |
16:26 |
trinque |
seems I could have whatever shitty computers I like behind such a device, and could be relatively certain that no command and control messages are making it in |
16:26 |
mike_c |
yeah, 1 |
16:26 |
trinque |
provided the device *works* obviously |
16:26 |
mircea_popescu |
jurov consider the experimentally verified, and publicly at that, fact that ddos couldn't do any appreciabvle harm to qntra, or trilema. |
16:27 |
ben_vulpes |
mike_c: that is the test i left off at. feel free to replace the "gotcha" assertion with an actual test, or just eliminate the assertion completely. |
16:27 |
mircea_popescu |
and this without any sort of imperial investments, either. also quite deliberately, and at least in part for the reason of this discussion. |
16:27 |
jurov |
and they examine each packet signature? |
16:27 |
mike_c |
got it |
16:27 |
* |
jurov is confused |
16:27 |
mircea_popescu |
wait, you wanted cpu-based ddos ? |
16:28 |
mircea_popescu |
because cpus are so much better than pipes these days, a dirty little secret the us telcos have managed to hide from their market like they managed to hide the fact that NOBODY CHARGES FOR INCOMING CALLS!!11, |
16:28 |
mircea_popescu |
most ddos is pipe exhaustion not cpu exhaustion. |
16:28 |
ascii_field |
^ someone did not know this ?! |
16:28 |
mircea_popescu |
everyone all the time. |
16:28 |
* |
jurov is now more confused |
16:29 |
jurov |
the discussion is about per-packet signature verification |
16:29 |
jurov |
which none named does |
16:29 |
jurov |
and thus can shrug any ddos |
16:29 |
jurov |
amiright? |
16:29 |
mircea_popescu |
when you say ddos people are going to assume you mean, you know, as it is. |
16:29 |
ascii_field |
jurov: aha. see the old gossipd thread. |
16:29 |
mike_c |
and if i alter one of the public keys more tests fail, so that's good. |
16:30 |
mircea_popescu |
ie, you put the filter node up, yet it can't be accessed because syn flood. irrespective of its function. |
16:30 |
ascii_field |
jurov: basic principle, at least in my variant of its statement, was that an unknown endpoint is to be listened to STRICTLY for as long as it takes to establish that it can sign with a key that you wot. |
16:30 |
ascii_field |
AND that this can take place at line speed. |
16:31 |
mircea_popescu |
iirc that was left as a maybe. |
16:31 |
mircea_popescu |
(the 2nd clause) |
16:31 |
ascii_field |
mircea_popescu: i can show rigorously that it can be. but requires custom si. |
16:32 |
ascii_field |
also it will of course depend on the line. but you can mux/demux the bits, recall. |
16:32 |
trinque |
what if it didn't verify the sig; it just verified that it looks like a sig, and hands off to something that can |
16:32 |

16:35 |

mike_c: i posted a tarball, as i did some messy surgery and expected brutal diffs. if you can get cleaner diffs, that'd be great. |
16:42 |

trinque expects he has 5 years of semi-stable country at best |

ok. i'm working from your tarball. I'll see what the diffs end up looking like |
16:42 |
ascii_field |
my initial 'v' presses rel1 and the bleeding-edge rel2, yes, but it ought to be regarded as a proof-of-concept |
16:42 |

rather than foundation for eternal thing |
16:42 |
ben_vulpes |
mike_c: asciilifeform objected to the "which method, which args" approach to routing around argparse's braindamage, so if you have good ideas down there throw 'em out |
16:43 |
ascii_field |
ben_vulpes: in principle i object to repetition in a proggy |

16:43 |
ben_vulpes |
because the way that argparse suggests you set up function calls is stupid as hell! |

so make a lisp data structure and then derive your argparsing code from... oh wait |

but all the unix scripting langs are quite alike |
16:46 |

the two places being the argparse and the switch statement at the end? |

mike_c: that's ben_vulpes's version, not mine |

mike_c |

16:47 |

i am also counting the function itself |
16:47 |
ascii_field |
so he has 3 places. |
16:50 |
mike_c |
so many globals :) ok, I'll definitely take a swing at reorganizing a bit |
16:50 |
mike_c |
and it will be very nice to have a test suite while doing so. so thanks ben_vulpes. |
16:51 |
ben_vulpes |
mike_c: and that's after i burned out like 70% of them! |
16:51 |
ascii_field |
imho this is misguided. |
16:52 |
ascii_field |
this is not a proggy to be 'libraryized' and dijkstraized |
16:52 |
mike_c |
so don't do it in your implementation |
16:52 |
ascii_field |
aha, i didn't. specifically in the interest of keeping it short and destroying redundancy |
16:52 |
mike_c |
I love how small it is. |
16:52 |
ben_vulpes |
dijkstraized? |
16:53 |
mike_c |
of course, that is partially because of the hairball that is gnupg.. |
16:54 |
mike_c |
why not make it libraryized? if gpg was libraryized shit like this wouldn't be so hard |
16:55 |
punkman |
ascii_field: mike_c: i'd prefer that someone were to add the desperately needed topological walker, rather than focusing on the little chipped paint bits, but that's just me << what would this walker do? |
16:56 |
mike_c |
toposort a pile of patches with antescedants and descedants |
16:56 |
punkman |
we have that |
16:56 |
ascii_field |
punkman: handle broken and orphaned chains |
16:57 |
ascii_field |
to see what i mean, try adding a patch that depends on a rel1 terminus but is not built on by anything else. |
16:57 |
ascii_field |
it will destroy the entire thing |
16:57 |
ascii_field |
because 'press' assumes that ~all~ patches are part of longest chain somewhere. |
17:00 |
ascii_field |
the other much needed bit, imho, |
17:00 |
ascii_field |
is a graphatron that doesn't suck |

ascii_field |
which is to say, it needs to produce 1) ascii art, wit |

2) clickable boxes |

"Anyone who has arrived early at a general admission event will recognize the feeling. You lay out your blanket, thus marking off a small piece of territory for yourself. The other early arrivals do the same. After a while, you start to feel as though that patch of land is yours by right. |

mircea_popescu |
With time, new arrivals stand around you, generally trying not to step onto your blanket. As the beginning of the event approaches, you find yourself staring into the rather private areas of those who arrived after you, and might even feel a bit of resentment at their impertinence. |

Now I guess one could argue that those sorts of heroes are what MIT is supposed to produce, but as has been mentioned, this course is not just for CS students. So the real question is, can the CS heroes of tomorrow survive an introductory course in Python?

weapon of japanese army ? |

pete_dushenski: Nah, hazard of fighting where the big danger isn't the explicit enemy |
23:05 |
BingoBoingo |
For both sides |
23:06 |
pete_dushenski |
biological landmines essentially |
23:06 |
BingoBoingo |
Only in the sense that the predator in Predator II was a landmine for Danny GLover and the drug gangs |
23:07 |
pete_dushenski |
never seen a predator movie, but can imagine |
23:07 |
BingoBoingo |
Not a weapon, a more capble discounted enemy. |

"The Yamaguchi-gumi still boasts some 23,000 core and associate members, around 44% of all yakuza in Japan, according to police estimates. But membership has been shrinking along with an overall decline in yakuza groups, and Mr. Shinoda’s control has grown shakier. “The prolonged economic stagnation steadily chipped away at the yakuza’s financial clout,” " |

i have nfi what parts on a hummer'd cost |
23:20 |
BingoBoingo |
It's just an extension of the engine's cooling system |
23:21 |
BingoBoingo |
Parts roughly would cost one or two unlicensable or untitleable examples at most |
23:21 |
pete_dushenski |
probably somewhere between monte carlo and maybach, but where, i know not |
23:21 |
pete_dushenski |
BingoBoingo: which could be thousands. |
23:21 |
pete_dushenski |
or double-digit percentage of purchase price |
23:21 |
BingoBoingo |
Well, probably would cost somewhere between a Chevy monte carlo's breakpads and a maybach quarter panel |
23:21 |
pete_dushenski |
lol sure |
23:22 |
pete_dushenski |
$150 - $15k |
