-e ***: Dave-V has left RandalSchwartz: updating my server to the final 8.4 release (p31)
rebooting... here's hoping it works well. :) ***: RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: well, that worked reasonably well mike-burns: Hooray! RandalSchwartz: now I just have to wait for poudriere to finish the remaining 27 packages for freebsd 9.3, and I can try to roll over to that
I'm renting a tiny machine at DigitalOcean (for free) as my package builder.
all SSD goodness. :)
wow... just found a problem with one of my conf files... glad I'm going through all of this very carefully
3 packages remaining m0unds: weechat users - have any of you guys ever had an issue where a specific channel buffer won't respond to filter toggle hotkeys?
alt + = works on this one, but not another. it's odd. ***: m0unds has quit IRC (Quit: weechat derp)
m0unds has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: heh... not enough I/O happening on my build machine to generate enough randomness to build the apache22 package. :)
so I downloaded www.google.com about 100 times :) m0unds: haha RandalSchwartz: the new package builds unique primes to prevent logjam m0unds: gotcha
i remember having to resort to weird stuff to build up entropy on netbsd running under xen RandalSchwartz: 2048 and 3072 or someting like that... big'uns m0unds: harvesting from the NIC and stuff like that RandalSchwartz: while true; do curl www.google.com >/dev/null; done m0unds: and having to use haveged on archlinux to get enough to init pacman RandalSchwartz: build is complete! all packages success. m0unds: huzzah RandalSchwartz: now I just have to wait for freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.3-RELEASE to merge my conf files, and I can then snapshot and start turning things off
zfs snapshot -r zroot@before93
so I can roll back from the fixit shell
the whole freebsd-upgrade thing is pretty amazing m0unds: yup, good stuff RandalSchwartz: ahh, I should switch to adium so I can stay here and ask questions if something goes sideways
switching to adium ***: RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Quit: RandalSchwartz)
RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: here I am
still downloading the 9.3 updates
I *am* visible, right? :) brycec: m0unds: Never had that happen, but I also don't toggle filtering that often. Can't imagine a cause, sorry. m0unds: brycec: yeah, it's baffling RandalSchwartz: ahh, there, I see brycec m0unds: won't even let me toggle smart filter on/off, and that's the only one i have set globally
but just for that one channel/buffer RandalSchwartz: man… still downloading
well, I can imagine… 9.3 is not 8.4 :) ***: m0unds has quit IRC (Quit: WeeChat 1.1.1)
m0unds has joined #arpnetworks m0unds: so weird. ***: m0unds has quit IRC (Client Quit)
m0unds has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: managed to download 2G of files so far
I'm peeking into /var/db/freebsd-update :)
ooohhh… patches!
1091 patches
o/~ patches I'm depending on you son… it's ALLL up to you… o/~
fetching 8757 files
fetched! Now for the fun part… the MERGE
almost every system file needs me to merge the VERSION number… gah phlux: I kind of miss the days when stuff on *nix would break frequently
I had fun fixing it m0unds: it's part of why i won't run linux as a primary desktop
too much time spent fixing stuff years ago. prefer stuff working without hassle now.
oh, i can't run x at anything but 640x480. guess i oughta spend hours with modesetting to at least manage 800x600
bleck RandalSchwartz: ok, all prepped… now stopping services m0unds: good luck RandalSchwartz: emergency snapshot made
(thank you, ZFS!)
I'm gonna have to learn how to use beadms some day though mercutio: snapshots are handy
for some reason i thought you did your update yesterday
oh you built packages yesterday... RandalSchwartz: no… I was prepping for it yesterday mercutio: m0unds: svgatextmode was such a bitch for modelines.. m0unds: yep, hated it
so bad phlux: m0unds: things are better now...much better.
things are...TOO easy in fact.. mercutio: sort of -: phlux installs LFS mercutio: i kind of miss svgatextmode :) phlux: brb gotta install netbsd on my ecig m0unds: phlux: doesn't mean stuff doesn't still arbitrarily break and waste my time :) mercutio: it encouraged me to single focus
and my comptuer was too slow for graphics
so i didn't get distracted on the web as much RandalSchwartz: kernel done… here's the first big reboot
new Bios!
SeaBIOS
oooh…the 9.x devil head!
9.x beastie that is
kernel loaded mercutio: new bios? RandalSchwartz: dmesg'ish output looking good
login prompt!
Very Good Sign mercutio: now can you login? :) RandalSchwartz: now installing userland
odd. "WARNING: sysctl kern.ipc.semmap does not exist"
I wonder if that's some override I put in that has now renamed
still installing userland
oops… spoke too soon
there.. now installing ports
all freshly built a few hours ago
poudriere sure makes things much easier
reinstalling perl, python, ruby, php :)
rebooting for 9.3 userland!
beastie face! BryceBot: That's what she said!! RandalSchwartz: heh
9.3-RELEASE-p13
prompt!
postfix started fine
good sign
postgres looks intact
and my website, sadly, is up
I really need to redo my website.
shoemaker's children issue though.
But… hooray. Mission accomplished.
time to go back to my other irc client ***: RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.)
RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: and I'm back
looks like I'm on freenode via ipv6 still. yeay mercutio: :)
so looking like success? RandalSchwartz: yes... I'm moving on to other tasks now
starting now what I hoped I could start at noon. :) mercutio: heh ***: m0unds has quit IRC (Quit: WeeChat 1.1.1)

mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks
m0unds has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: I have a client whose pc has been infected by a Cryptolocker virus. Has anyone been able to brute force the private key to restore files without paying the creeps? m0unds: depends on the version
more recent versions are more "secure", and the typical suggestion is to restore from backups mercutio: assuming windows users store backups
it's nice that windows is making it a little easier to do simple backups now m0unds: plenty do mercutio: i think mnathani_ is thinking home users? mnathani_: I think they have CryptoWall 3 m0unds: i don't know anyone who uses inbuilt backup stuff, but lots of people who use software to handle it mercutio: which is much more uncommon...
probably depends on who :) m0unds: doesn't matter
mnathani_: do they have backups? mnathani_: no backups mercutio: yeah they either have backups or not mnathani_: apart from some dropbox stuff mercutio: sell them a backup solution too then :) mnathani_: most of my clients are the react to stuff after it happens rather than proactively take care of stuff mercutio: yeah ime people who do backups tend to get viruses less. m0unds: i haven't heard of any way to restore encrypted files w/recent versions of cryptolocker and variants
aside from restoring from backups mercutio: unless they've been hit before m0unds: there was a vulnerable version a couple years back, one of the earlier ones, and they stored they key locally
stored the* -: RandalSchwartz is so happy not to be anywhere near windows mnathani_: is it worthwhile to keep a copy of the encrypted files to be able to restore in the future when brute forcing the private key is feasible m0unds: no idea
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/cryptowall-ransomware-information#cryptowall3 fwiw RandalSchwartz: ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoLocker BryceBot: Error in Wikipedia's response: RandalSchwartz: ... During the operation, a security firm involved in the process obtained the database of private keys used by CryptoLocker, which was in turn used to build an online tool for recovering the keys and files without paying the ransom. m0unds: RandalSchwartz: there are incremental updates to cryptolocker RandalSchwartz: ... https://www.decryptcryptolocker.com
Ahh... too bad
still... the real WTF is windows m0unds: yea, that's why most mitigation strategies center on restoring files -: m0unds shrugs m0unds: same reason i don't care that people use stuff i don't mercutio: this is actually really scary m0unds: doesn't impact my life in any way, so i don't care
haha mercutio: i can see a valid case for just paying it for some people m0unds: yea mercutio: which will encourage them to do it more m0unds: yup
it's amusing though that there are so many good, cheap ways to do backups and people just...don't do it mercutio: well most people don't care.
until they have a problem. m0unds: they just assume they won't have to deal with it
or dont' realize that shit happens and they might have to deal with something breaking BryceBot: That's what she said!! mercutio: there are certain expectations around computers m0unds: then they're taken by surprise and ask someone else to fix it mercutio: like they shoudl "just work" m0unds: this is why i don't work w/IT anymore mercutio: and anyone who's been in IT a long time has had data corruption, lost files, etc etc.
i have only got very basic backups for windows myself..
but i don't store anything important on windows.
most people don't haave good backups of their phones too RandalSchwartz: I do a morning clone
because I'm on the road 2-4 weeks at a time
can't afford to be stopped if something breaks
when I go home, I clone the clone to my drobo
so it's now on four spindles mercutio: randal: see, you're the prudent type. you're unlikely to get viruses.
a lot of these viruses seem to come from people going to dodgy sites
and running dodgy programs. m0unds: and not updating anything, ever mercutio: like random "cleanup" programs. m0unds: oh, flash wants an update? meh. oh, java wants an update (even though i never use java for anything, ever) meh mercutio: god i wish windows would be less intrusive about updates.
i'm sure a lot of peoples problem with windows updates is that they always happen at annoying times m0unds: IE and chrome both include flash themselves so they control the updates to it directly mercutio: and you have to wait ages to shut down and to start up m0unds: w/win8 they just happen
and you eventually need to backup
err, reboot
and if you don't, it'll schedule a reboot late at night to finish mercutio: yeh
and it's inconvenient m0unds: but will prompt you to do it mercutio: windows 10 is even worse for randomly rebooting m0unds: not really inconvenient on a machine that's up with no user at it mercutio: it seems to like to schedule things overnight, then you lose everything you had open
well it is if you like to leave programs running
but i mean in this modern age, with all of their money behind them, surely they can do updates without needing to reboot
linux is acquiring kernel patching suport for running kernels..
but a lot of the reboots in windows are for things like .net framework brycec: IE includes flash now? That's news to me. mercutio: i didn't know that ie included flash m0unds: as of IE10 iirc
Internet Explorer 10 includes Adobe Flash as a platform feature and is available out-of-the-box for Windows 8, on both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop. Users can turn this feature on or off using the Manage Add-ons dialog box, while administrators can turn this feature on or off using the Group Policy setting, Turn off Adobe Flash in Internet Explorer and prevent applications from
using Internet Explorer technology to instantiate Flash objects. ***: KILLALLH8MANS01 has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) m0unds: wtf, filtering started working again ***: hazardous has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)

which i think is due to the wnd being high
