kenniskrag··on Untrusted Device Encryption
Generally it depends on the threat vector.

* Do you trust the hardware

* Do you trust the OS

* Do you trust the user

* Do you trust the software

On a rootkit you don't trust the OS anymore. So a safe location inside the OS space isn't an option anymore. But often you are not a root user (e.g. android, windows in a corporate environment)

If you have OS backups there is a risk it is readable by others (e.g. cloud, different IT department). There is also a risk a user uploads the config somewhere.

If you want to rotate keys you would have to search all keys compared to a centralized location.

kenniskrag··on Untrusted Device Encryption
yes because more than one process can access the file.

A "password manager" provides a defined api and schields the password away from everything. It can also ask the user if process x can access the key y.

kenniskrag··on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
TL;DR: Windows Defender had a bug that made certain system calls expensive on CPU cycles when Defender's Real-time Protection feature is enabled. After discovery, Mozilla reported this issue to Microsoft. Microsoft is releasing a patch that should result in lower CPU usage when using Firefox on sites like YouTube (a ~75% CPU usage reduction was noted when browsing YouTube in Firefox with the fixed version of Defender).

kenniskrag··on Brute.Fail: Watch brute force attacks fail in real time
Nice idea. From the docs:

Endlessh is an SSH tarpit that very slowly sends an endless, random SSH banner. It keeps SSH clients locked up for hours or even days at a time. The purpose is to put your real SSH server on another port and then let the script kiddies get stuck in this tarpit instead of bothering a real server.

Since the tarpit is in the banner before any cryptographic exchange occurs, this program doesn't depend on any cryptographic libraries. It's a simple, single-threaded, standalone C program. It uses poll() to trap multiple clients at a time.

kenniskrag··on Brute.Fail: Watch brute force attacks fail in real time
