  If it is a device you use, it is a vulnerability.  If it auto-fills,
it is a vulnerability.  If it is software it is a vulnerability.

  So what do you think...   "good security justification" or "politics"?

You might have seven items in your data, but most people end up with
hundreds after a not so long while.

We also have to allow for changes (additions) to be made on several
devices before they have the opporunity to sync.

I don't know if this has the status of "law" or "regulation", but some
passwords for some government (or even contractors) cannot be stored
anywhere. That includes password managers.

Although I think that a good password manager offers more security than
forbidding them; this kind of regulation makes sense until there is a
procedure for vetting password managers.

So while in this very particular instance, the regulation harms password
security, I don't think it is a bad regulation at this time.

But it does appear that you can use a good password manager for data
covered by HIPAA as far as I understand.

A real disclaimer: I am not a lawyer; we are a Canadian company; and
we do not offer legal advice. It is your responsibility to determine
whether your particular use of our product is legal in your circumstances.
(And that bloody well goes for US export restrictions, which we can't
make sense of and haven't (yet) hired a lawyer to give a definitive
answer.)

  I went to the National Cryptologic Museum Saturday...  It sits on the
same property as the NSA building over in Annapolis Junction, Virginia.

  It was really cool..  There were two Crays there.  An old XM P-24 and
a Y MP C-90.

  There was also a nice "Thinking Machines" brand CM-5 supercomputer
there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Thinking_Machines_Connection_Machine_CM-5_Frostburg_2.jpg


  I also saw a replica of the Rosetta Stone, which a recognized
immediately (from a past life residual memory, of course).

  There was also an ENIGMA machine, and the Navy Bombe.  Pretty wild.

  They also have Geo. Washington's inaugural sword there for some
reason.  Wow.

[Long post about the negative aspects of closed source deleted.]

Jeffrey, the way to address the problems you've listed is simply to
open source your product.

The stuff about trusted tools is, IMO, FUD.  How cloud a customer know
that your tools haven't been compromised?

The odds of Keepass (the manager that I use) being compromised is
vanishingly small because so many eyes have looked at the source.  The
odds of Gnu C being compromised are even less.

So though I'm no crypto expert, I am a competent programmer and my
belief is that a popular open source crypto program that has been
thoroughly examined, compiled by a compiler that has received even
more public scrutiny is far more secure than any closed source product
running on a closed source OS.

In my case, I compiled Keepass from a tarball that passed the MD5
check sum on an air-gapped machine with a virgin Linux booted from CD
that has never been connected to the Internet.

I do the same with the GPG product and the FireFox plugin.  And with
FireFox itself.  Then I personally distribute the binaries to all my
company's employees.

I don't change anything in the code so the binary passes the official
MD5 test.  That precludes the possibility of me being a black hat.

That's about as much as I can think of to make the crypto that we use
secure.

Some features such as merging key databases can't easily  be done in a
crypto-secure method.  We solve that solution by having 2 key
databases on each employee's computer.  One read-only official one
that contains passwords to, for example, customers' sites and a second
one that contains employee-specific passwords.

There is a person (me) charged with adding new passwords to the
official database, something I spend about half a day on once a month.

Do I need all this security?  Who knows?  Our customers, some of whom
disclose the very core of their proprietary technology to us certainly
think so.  And seeing how the government has persecuted people who
appear on their radar, I'm not taking any chances there either.

Anyway, it seems to me that your company could achieve that same level
of trust by simply open sourcing your product.

That's a myth. Look at the recent rush of bugs found in OpenSSL, and that
has been OSS for 15+ years.

Simple.

It's clear that we largely agree on the security advantages of open
source. And I'm not going to criticize anyone who insists that all
their security tools be open source.

And we have to forego some of those security advantages given our
business model. As you've seen, we try to mitigate that by being
open and explicit about our design and supportive of researchers.

> The stuff about trusted tools is, IMO, FUD.  How cloud a customer know
> that your tools haven't been compromised?

You compile your tools on a system that you built using a compiler
that you checked the PGP sig for. That's great that give you a lot
of extra control and ability to manage your security.

But most people are installing binaries for their proprietary
operating systems. Even if what they are installing is open source,
they are still just installing something that has been packaged and
built by others. And without deterministic builds, it is very hard
to know that the binary you are installing really comes from the
source that's been looked at by many eyeballs.

Good. Now I would like to help bring top-notch security design
in a password manager for people who aren't going to build these
things for themselves.

Good. KeePass is probably a good choice for you.

But people who don't compile their own code and don't build their
own Linux boxes deserve good security, too.

Good. I'm glad that you are in a position to take those steps. But

illustrating the point that some of the security benefits of open
source place a burden on the user that lots of people are going
to find unacceptable.

I'm glad that works out well for you. But I'm sure you see that won't work
were multiple people are authorized to make changes (or even one person can
make changes on to their own data, but on multiple systems).

Not my call. You need to be in control of your choices to meet your needs and
your evaluation of the threats.

Like you, we are trying to meet the security needs of our customers. But
the overwhelming majority of our customers aren't going to compile from
source and run open source operating systems.

Well, and then there is the whole business model thing. When I joined
AgileBits, we were fewer than a dozen. Now we are more than 60. About
half are in customer support. If the owners (I'm not one) come to think
that we can continue to provide the same quality of product and support
with an open source approach, then I think they would go that route.

But I am not in a position to speak on behalf of them on business
matters.

But I do hope that you appreciate the fact that we do want to bring
something like the security that you enjoy to a much broader
range of people.

Sorry, you are quite wrong about this.

I strongly recommend that people who wish to speculate on how password
crackers work actually look at password crackers.

Password cracking tools very much make use of the sorts of things
that are discussed in that comic.

Here are some extracts from sample John the Ripper rulesets


#uppercase the first character and then add numbers/special characters 
to the end of the password
Ct$[0-9]
Ct$[0-9]$[0-9]
Ct$[0-9]$[0-9]$[0-9]
Ct$[!@#$%^&*()+=.?]
Ct$[!@#$%^&*()+=.?]$[0-9]   <- Thats the rule that will work for us
Ct$[0-9]$[!@#$%^&*()+=.?]
Ct$[0-9]$[0-9]$[0-9]$[0-9]
Ct

So starting with a dictionary that included "troubadour" this
would produce "Troubador&3" as something to check.

And here are some "leet" transforming rules

/a lsa@
/a lsa4  <- This rule, and
/e lse3
/l lsl1
/o lso0  <- This rule
/s lss$

They would get us from ""Troubador&3" to "Tr0b4dor&3"

So before you presume what password crackers do and don't do
you should actually tak a look at them.

John the Ripper:

  http://www.openwall.com/john/

Hashcat:

  http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/

And if you are a geezer like me, you may have started out with

  https://github.com/cracklib/cracklib

way back in the days before /etc/shadow

BTW, my lame claim to fame is that something I wrote inspired
that comic:

 https://blog.agilebits.com/2011/06/21/toward-better-master-passwords/

Hmmm cool ideas.

This gives me an idea.

Psssst don't tell anybody.

But I have a database of actual logins and passwords of a system ;)

Could be interesting to try different password crackers and see which is 
best.

Or organize a competition for people to write their own password generators.

They would not even need to simply executables.

Just a list of generated passwords would do.

Then I would write some software to see which list(s) contain the most 
guessed passwords from the database.

Could be a lot of fun.

I would have to first check my older computers to see if that database is 
still there ! LOL.

But I would recon there might be somebody in these newsgroups which actually 
already has a database ?!

Perhaps a more recent one... mine is kinda old ?!

Or even better... we could create a website... where people can enter their 
"hard to guess" passwords.

And then see if the password crackers can make short work of that ! =D LOL

That even more funny !

User(s) vs Cracker(s) ! =D

Bye,
  Skybuck =D

  Oh, look.  The idiots are all still cross-posting and you wanted to
blame me.


  Nice to see that you are all letting these guys know the err of their
ways.

  Selective bullshit.

a brute force 'search' is recognoscibile from the receiver
that can block that ip and account afther the 4th not good try in
sequence, for some time... one hour or 2 or one day...
and send email to administrator that one account can be under attack
possibly with ip of who attack

This is why it is important to distinguish between an on-line attack
(as you describe) and an off-line attack.

For an on-line attack, you just need passwords that aren't terrible
or reused. As you correctly point out, these can be easily detected
and throttled.

It is for an off-line attack that all of the other stuff we've been
talking about matters. When an attacker gains a copy of the servers
password database, the passwords are typically stored as cryptographic
hashes. Although hashes can't be reversed, one can test against them.

Depending on how the passwords have been hashed, even a high end
desktop computer can run hundreds of thousands of guesses per second.

Cheers,

I think the problem here with this "out of control" thread as some have 
called it is that "Brute Force" does not exist on a sequential computer.

"Brute Force" can only truely exist on a parallel computer that can try all 
passwords at the same time.

A sequential computer will have to start somewhere.

And whereever somebody or something starts another person could accuse that 
of having "pre-knowledge" or assuming a "direction expectation", a bias.

Start Up, Start Down, Start in the Middle it all has a certain bias when it 
comes to sequential computers ! ;)

That's kind of a funny finding ! ;)

I will leave it at that for now ! ;)

At least when it comes to the start and search direction.

Though brute force could also be defined differently as in terms of 
"passwords tried per second" or ammount of computations needed per password 
etc.

So bottom line brute force as same said is a weakly defined term... to weak 
really ! ;)

So want to call it dumb search, but then others object to it saying their 
brute force is kinda smarter haha ! :)

Perhaps one nice definition of brute force could be to:

"Spent huge ammounts of cpu time and real time on trying to find the 
password, relatively to the password length/number of possibilities"

or

"Eventually trying out all possible passwords where the starting point and 
direction is biased but not necessarily pre-known or whatever" ;)

For the true password-freakers out there a document just arrived by France 
Researchers the title of the document louds (lol):

"
Monte Carlo Strength Evaluation:
Fast and Reliable Password Checking
"

http://www.eurecom.fr/en/publication/4711/download/rs-publi-4711.pdf

According to a newssite this document also claims that adding password rules 
is not sufficient (and weakens passwords it was claimed by news site).

I scanned over this document there is some mention of these rules... and 
that it is indeed weak against modern attacks.

Anyway... not going to spent too much time on it further... but it is a nice 
coincidence ?! ;) :) =D

There ya go.

Bye,
  Skybuck.
