john37386··on Integrated by Design
I started to read the blog post and got lost trying to shoot down all these aliens falling down from space. It's really a nice game integrated in the webpage. I was able to double my canon and even get a bigger blue laser. I wonder how much more weapon upgrades there is. Awesome game inside this blog.
john37386··on Issues with upstream DNS provider
no SEP matching is a dnssec error. The DS key in the .com. zone file are there but no longer available in herokudns.com.

Hopefully someone has a backup of those keys. If not, I think they have to contact .com. to replace the keys. It can take several hours to come back.

john37386··on Log4Shell Log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) – cheat-sheet reference guide
You read it right. Just a simple curl can infect your system. Your api can be behind multiple layer of security and still it will reach log4j and infect your system.
john37386··on Log4Shell Log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) – cheat-sheet reference guide
It seems to have worm like capabilities. Right now it seems to spread. Who knows what will happen after? It's a bit of race against the clock. I found this library to be used somehow. https://github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh

They seem to exfiltrate data. If you see these files hosted in your projects, then you are probably part of it now.

john37386··on Javapocalypse – The Java Dooms Day
After reading all these news about this new vulnerability in java library log4j, I thought this old video was more relevant than ever. It's a very funny video about how the world collapse because of the dependance on java.
john37386··on Log4j: Between a rock and a hard place
The log4j patch to fix this vuln is available since March 2021. 9 months later... time to panic.
john37386··on Widespread exploitation of critical remote code execution in Apache Log4j
Was the vuln known since March 2021?
john37386··on Pixel prevented me from calling 911
This is a classic in America when calling Europe or International.

The dial out in corporate, usually you used 9. Then you google how to dial in Europe because the numbers are not natural. Google mentions dial 11 + country code + phone number.

So people hit 9 to dial out, then 11 to dial in Europe. Instantly you hear: Emergency 911, is this an emergency?

The dialer is like: no I'm trying to call Europe.

1. That fine mention in this article 2. The outage that happened in AWS US-East-1 region earlier this week

john37386··on Italy fines Amazon record $1.3B for abuse of market dominance
Amazon is not profitable. AWS is.
john37386··on Ubisoft is bringing NFT gear to Ghost Recon
How will it work? Is it a kind of special trophy that will gain value over time as people win that NFT trophies over and over again? Who won it, when and how will be track in that blockchain? I'm curious and wondering if some people could explain to me like I'm 5 years old

john37386··on Issues with Cloudflare Images
Lucky for you that you don't check your bills on a quarter basis (3 months). It could have been another story to be reimbursed and the bills might have more than triple.
john37386··on AWS us-east-1 outage
It seems a bit long to fix!

They probably paint themselves in a corner just like facebook few weeks ago.

This make me think;

Could it be that one day the internet will have a total global outage and it will take few days to recover?

john37386··on AWS us-east-1 outage
It starts to show issues now. I agree that it was a bit long before we can get real visibility on the incident.
john37386··on Class-action suit filed against Meta for facilitating Rohingya Genocide [pdf]
Makes more sense. $150B is another magnitude vs $650M. I mean wow, you want to make sure that you can trust this.
john37386··on Class-action suit filed against Meta for facilitating Rohingya Genocide [pdf]
Wow! $650B privacy law suit. Impressive! Are you sure about that number? It seems a bit high?

Can we trust this news? Who is edelson?
john37386··on Is Web3 Bullshit?
Maybe web3 is not only about crypto bs. It's probably more about accountability and repudiation. To remove the control to central corporations like the FANG. To stop spreading hate speech and encourage to destroy the planet.

I really hate the web 2.0 personally and I stay far away from it. I'm not trying to convince anyone to follow my path, but I'm hoping that the true meaning of Internet will shine soon. Maybe the 3.0 is the way to go and in my opinion it cannot be worst than 2.0.

john37386··on Bitcoin Price Tumbles After Wall Street Selloff
well the blockchain won't agree with this. All transactions can be verified. Maybe I missed something.
john37386··on Bitcoin Price Tumbles After Wall Street Selloff
Where did all this money go? It can't disappear just like that, can it?

I can't withdraw more than a few K per week with crypto exchanges. How can $300B evaporate just like that?

john37386··on U.S. satellites are being attacked every day according to Space Force general
Used to work for internet video game companies at the infrastructure level. We were constantly under attack. I mean, out of 40 Gbps of bandwidth on internet spread over multiple data centers, a good percentage was just pure hacks and attacks.

I can't imagine to drop our firewalls, ips and all of the security gears we had for few seconds. The knowledge built to reach this level of maturity in internet security was several years of man power.

I'm not sure how bad are the attacks against the space force, but I suspect it's slightly higher than any other normal high profile entities on internet.

They probably deserve a good shake. Let's give them a good shake, shall we?
