  • YubiKey-Guide

    Guide to using YubiKey for GPG and SSH

    Project mention: Ask HN: Why does YubiCo need my private key? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-29

    I'd recommend using the Yubikey as a GPG smartcard[1]. The private key stays on the Yubikey. I also use it for ssh. But make sure you have a backup key or two, just in case the primary Yubikey gives out. FIDO2 and all other regular Yubikey functionality still works with it.

  • oss-fuzz

    OSS-Fuzz - continuous fuzzing for open source software.

    Project mention: Fuzz Testing Is the Best Thing to Happen to Our Application Tests | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-17

    I love fuzzing as a technique and use it quite regularly, but running AFL++ on even a single program occupies all threads of a high end AMD server for weeks. I'm running it locally so only paying for the electricity. If it was a cloud instance it would cost a small fortune. I think this is a reason it is not used more widely.

    I will note that Google have a programme for doing fuzz testing on open source projects using computer from their cloud: https://google.github.io/oss-fuzz/

  • my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools

    List of open source tools for AWS security: defensive, offensive, auditing, DFIR, etc.

    Project mention: Open source alternative cloud security tool that works like Wiz/Lacework/Aqua | /r/cybersecurity | 2023-03-06

    I'm a biased vendor, but for OSS I prefer Prowler... (has a commercial tier we technically compete with but the OSS is strong and I really like the people there). Tony, who runs Prowler, also maintains an amazing list of OSS tools in multiple categories. https://github.com/toniblyx/my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools It's hard to keep up to date but I don't know of any other list that comes close.

    Project mention: Security Onion on Proxmox with Linux Bridges and LACP Bond | /r/homelab | 2023-06-11

    I'm trying to get Security Onion running in my lab on my Proxmox server. I'm having trouble getting my WAN traffic to my SO VM. My WAN comes in on VLAN 100 to my switch and goes to my router (Virtual VyOS on the same physical host). I have a ton of VMs and really don't want to move to OVS if I don't absolutely have to. I found this discussion which included some commands for getting SO working on a Linux bridge, but this didn't work for me. Probably because my environment is different. Does anybody have SO setup this way? If so, how did you do it?

  • hblock

    Improve your security and privacy by blocking ads, tracking and malware domains.

    Project mention: This is a new kind of scammer | /r/india | 2023-06-03

    I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.

    Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts

    Project mention: Dogbolt Decompiler Explorer | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-04

    Short answer: not where it counts.

    My work focuses on recognizing known functions in obfuscated binaries, but there are some papers you might want to check out related to deobfuscation, if not necessarily using ML for deobfuscation or decompilation.

    My take is that ML can soundly defeat the "easy" and more static obfuscation types (encodings, control flow flattening, splitting functions). It's low hanging fruit, and it's what I worked on most, but adoption is slow. On the other hand, "hard" obfuscations like virtualized functions or programs which embed JIT compilers to obfuscate at runtime... as far as I know, those are still unsolved problems.

    This is a good overview of the subject, but pretty old and doesn't cover "hard" obfuscations: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=1566145.

    https://www.jinyier.me/papers/DATE19_Obf.pdf uses deobfuscation for RTL logic (FGPA/ASIC domain) with SAT solvers. Might be useful for a point of view from a fairly different domain.

    https://advising.cs.arizona.edu/~debray/Publications/generic... uses "semantics-preserving transformations" to shed obfuscation. I think this approach is the way to go, especially when combined with dynamic/symbolic analysis to mitigate virt/jit types of transformations.

    I'll mention this one as a cautionary tale: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/2886012 has some good general info but glosses over the machine learning approach. It considers Hex-rays' FLIRT to be "machine learning", but FLIRT just hashes signatures, can be spoofed (i.e. https://siliconpr0n.org/uv/issues_with_flirt_aware_malware.p...), and is useless against obfuscation.

    Eventually I think SBOM tools like Black Duck[1] and SLSA[2] will incorporate ML to improve the accuracy of even figuring out what dependencies a piece of software actually has.
