#Discord told me on #HackerOne that this isn't a security #vulnerability, so cool, I'll talk about it publicly.
You can disable 2FA¹ on another person's account if you get access to their phone momentarily.
All you have to do is create a new account and put their phone number in as the login; if you verify the code, it strips it from the other account with no warning, and they can't take it back.
So have fun I guess?
¹ SMS is not #2FA

Yes and it happens often.

any idea how difficult it is, and if it's reversable, to switch to glitch-soc?

2024-09-19 02:00:05

Do you still have the official AIM client installed?

Are you able to link here, at https://ꩰ.com ?

That may be my custom patch though? I think it only affects stuff I link.

There are lots of ஃ.tld domains available too.

2024-09-10 17:21:07

So anyways, I clearly don't like ⁂ as the #Fediverse #Logo

I also just realized that I can't even tag that user.

Maybe I should open up registrations on one of them.

@⁂.ꩰ.com There, I did it. If you click (or hover) the following link, you can see how broken this is in the address bar (or hover).

Edit: Even linking this properly requires a custom patch in Mastodon.

I'm going to give away my secret, publicly, for the first time.
If you want a symbol that can (possibly) be used in a domain name, this is a good starting point. Many of these will still not render in address bars however, especially those that are Latin look-alikes, so a lot of trial and error is required.

I should spin up a ⁂.ꩰ.com instance, just so I can show how broken it would be.

no it's okay, 2001 was only 13 years ago

2024-09-06 00:21:41

⁂ is a terrible symbol to use for the #Fediverse because it can't be used as a subdomain. You should be able to make ⁂.foo.social, just as you can mastodon.foo.social and pleroma.foo.social. People will definitely try it and it won't work out for them; they'll end up just seeing xn--kwg.foo.social, which is stupid.
(I think I'm safe to consider myself the authority on Unicode domain names.)

That actually makes sense!

Why not just `start_date = end_date = -1` then?

2024-08-31 04:58:09

I came across some intern code yesterday and I can't wrap my mind around it (neither the intent nor the expected result). C#
start_date = end_date = "" + -1

I doubt it's that he can't pronounce it. It seems very intentional.

2024-08-15 13:45:05

I start my first job in #cybersecurity in about a week and a half. What are some tips you wish people would have told you?

2024-08-05 11:33:28

I have trouble waking up some mornings, so I have alarm clock that makes me do math questions. I often regret that.

Reported to #CISA for help reporting and coordinating with GA Secretary of State. This is really, really bad.

I just discovered that I can bypass the SSN / DL requirement on Georgia's #voter deregistration (wtf?) page at https://cancelmyregistration.sos.ga.gov/s/
All an attacker needs is name, county of residence, and birthdate.

DMA pointers pointing to nowhere seems like something that could be exploitable, no?

2024-05-07 13:07:59

I'm looking to borrow (it's $200 and I'm not buying it) a copy of an extremely niche book from a law school library for a week or so. It's called "Cybersecurity and the Courthouse: Safeguarding the Judicial Process".
It should be very useful for all of my recent #cybersecurity work in that area (see https://github.com/qwell/disclosures/).
If you, dear reader, have access to such things, I'd like to have a chat to see what we can figure out.
Boosts highly appreciated.

This tab is up all day every day, front and center. I may be a little ashamed to admit that. I read everything that hits the Home timeline, and on my other account, as much of the #fedifirehose as I can. It's a problem.

Do other people not do that due diligence before boosting?

2024-04-30 12:31:14

Boosts are endorsements. Why the hell else would I boost something?

If I were to create a #webfinger #fediverse alias system with my funky domains, would there be any interest? The usernames would be like:
@alice @ۦ.ws
@bob @ۦ.ws

stux.net would make for a great instance domain. I wonder if the owner would sell it for a reasonable price.
