mats: at the suggestion of an acquaintance, am re-reading 'A Fire Upon the Deep'
ascii_field liked it
mats: acquaintance noted that vinge had an idea that predates 'the cult of langsec'
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
mats: that is: translation to an intermediate language with low expressive power, then back to whatever's parsed by original recipient,as a means of avoiding pwnage by a powerful adversary
ascii_field: the funny part is that this is actually how you ~guarantee~ ease of pwnage
mats: you think so?
ascii_field: the yarn had some imaginative and perhaps even good ideas, this was not one of these
mats: well, as you like to remind so often, x86 ain't everything there is.
ascii_field: no but the basic idea of turning a high-level message into incomprehensible ground beef
ascii_field: (the actual result of translating from more-expressive language to a less-)
ascii_field: invariably subtracts from fits-in-head.
mats: anyway, the langsec idea goes, input validation has a striking similarity to program verification, precluding inputs from driving unexpected state and computation
ascii_field: program verification is 1) provably unsolvable in the general case 2) to the extent it adds complexity and overall logical mass and subtracts from fit-in-head-ability, it is ~an evil~
mats: yes, and if you reject a inputs outside of a defined set of formal-izable grammars, the more constrained the model and subsequently greater approachability towards program verification
ascii_field: it is certainly both possible and useful in narrow cases. see the ada threads
ascii_field: but as an overall panacea, it is a usgism.
mats: how conspiratorial.

ascii_field: it is not an uninteresting subject. just as, say, historical climate patterns are not uninteresting. but both would become considerably more intellectually respectable if all of the current academic practitioners of each were to be shot.
mats: now we're getting somewhere. which 'langsec' authors have a funny smell?
mats: what papers smell funny?
punkman: "LANGSEC posits that the only path to trustworthy software that takes untrusted inputs is treating all valid or expected inputs as a formal language, and the respective input-handling routines as a recognizer for that language."
punkman: so what is the formal language when I grab random bytes off someone's HTTP?
ascii_field: this is fundamentally an example of what i was talking about.
ascii_field: deceive people into failing to so much suspect that the root of their probems can be dealt with, without telling any lies in the usual sense of the word.
ascii_field: this is not 'ordered from above' in the naive way imagined by hecklers of 'conspiratorial' matters
ascii_field: instead, it is baked into the 'firmware' of academia as a thing.
ascii_field: no one who actually ~solves~ problems at the eliminate-a-whole-field level is remotely welcome.
ascii_field: this is elementary.
mats: well, just a thought here, functional programming looks like a better path forward than ada, if only because its easier to automate
ascii_field: automate ?
mats: automating formal analyses
pete_dushenski: bwahahha
ascii_field: mats: i ~like~ functional programming, understand.
ascii_field: purely aesthetically.
ascii_field: but there is no such thing, in our universe, as a 'functional' cpu.
ascii_field: and the data structures popular among 'functionality' aficionados are not physically possible, but instead are clunkily emulated ('immutability') with actual ones
ascii_field: mats: for instance, i like 'ml' (language.) but i will not close my eyes to the fact that garbage collector is a cross-process info leaker.
ascii_field: not to mention a source of nondeterminism
ascii_field: my other problem is that i have not yet found an implementation of ml language that fits-in-head.
ascii_field: this is not negotiable.

mircea_popescu: good morning cultists!
mats: i'm on my third attempt at this and i still haven't quite wrapped my head around rfc4880 as well as the behavior of various gpg versions
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: oh mats, you're in for such a treat!
ascii_field: wait till you do rsa padding !
mats: and i'm not so sure i'm the person for the job
ascii_field: (e.g., rfc 2437)
ascii_field: btw i'm half-convinced that the existing 'padding' (what a terrible misnomer!) schemes are voodoo.
mircea_popescu: mats well the exercise is useful anyway.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field makes two of us.
mircea_popescu: the only correct way would be to PROVE the padding works for the coding scheme. this afaik was never EVEN DISCUSSED let alone attempted, and forget succeeded.
mircea_popescu: so consequently... they must be.
ascii_field: it was discussed. half-heartedly.
ascii_field: but never seriously contemplated by 'standards body' (no prized for saying why)
ascii_field: *prizes
ascii_field: iirc bleichenbacher's attack works with all currently standardized padding (wtf plz can has another word for this !!!) schemes
punkman: mats, are you using that Hammer library linked from langsec www?
mircea_popescu: shitting.
ascii_field: the basic idea of 'padding' is that before you can really use rsa, you have to proclaim 'i will NEVER EVEN consider a blob that doesn't decrypt to this-standard-boilerplate-and-the-payload' - or, in the case of signatures, 'it is ~not~ a signature unless the signed payload is such-and-such-boilerplate-and-THEN-the-actual-payload'
ascii_field: the reason for this is that (as anyone who stayed awake in kindergarten ??) knows, rsa operation is malleable
mircea_popescu: you know it occurs to me, this is not necessarily the correct approach to the malleability problem.
mircea_popescu: specifically : it is not useful to have fixed "boilerplate".
ascii_field: no shit
mircea_popescu: it is true that if you try to "unfixed" it by using key info you necessarily leak key bits
mircea_popescu: however, rng is no good because now you leak rng bits, which ARE key bits.
ascii_field: if your rng key bits 'are key bits' you're sunk
ascii_field: *rng bits are
mircea_popescu: rng bits are always key bits.
ascii_field: only when you stuff'em in a key
ascii_field: otherwise they're just bits.
mircea_popescu: basic systems security is "attacker should not be able to read the machien rng".
ascii_field: if your rng is worth half a pence
mircea_popescu: that's what it is .
mircea_popescu: i propose to you that this view of boxen security is inconsiderate.
ascii_field: obviously if you use the ~same~ rng bits to generate key as you also made available to someone else, then you're dead
mircea_popescu: they're not "just bits".
mircea_popescu: no, matter of principle.
mircea_popescu: the internals of the box must noit be exposed TO THIS STANDARD.
mircea_popescu: am i making any sense or sohuld i restate ?
mats: punkman: no, although i read some of it several months ago. interesting, right?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: restate
mircea_popescu: the notion of "box was owned" is never really defined, and intuitively is equated with "have a root prompt". this is uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: the interesting notion is, "box was not owned". and the standard for this is, "there is no way for attacker to read /urand"
ascii_field: it is more productive to separate 'owned' into two basic categories, read- and write- if you will. sorta like the two basic ways to cheat at cards
ascii_field: (peeking vs deck-stacking)
mircea_popescu: any program which allows for the attacker to read in any sense the rng is not necessarily owning the box, but necessarily not part of the not-owning-the-box set either
ascii_field: what i was trying to say is that if your rng bits are not independent of one another, you don't have an rng.
mircea_popescu: but you never will have a rng in that sense.
ascii_field: and if they ~are~ independent, you can give 1MB to me and another 1MB to hitler, and so long as they are not overlapping, hitler does not win
mircea_popescu: it is a fucking numeric machine ffs.
mircea_popescu: so. they will be, at best, "relatively independent" as in "sufficient for the task at hand". this is great. so long as the above standard of security is observed.
mircea_popescu: (and in most practical circumstances, a good chunk of the benefit of airgapping is that it ipso facto satisfies the above security standard)
ascii_field: no shit
ascii_field: presently it is the only means of properly losing the bits used to generate a key.
mircea_popescu: so "rng boilerplate" MAY be a usable solution, but MUST NOT be dependend on going forward.
ascii_field: (and those produced in intermediate calculations involving it)

mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with formalism is that it doesn't practically yield anything past bad "art".
asciilifeform: let's have the earlier bit though - what is a mansion really ?
asciilifeform: i say, a rich fella's house, built to european standards
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude. it does not seem to me possible to even have a mansion in the land of "we rent - unfurnished!" and "building code" etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure it is. it is called 'grandfathered in'
mircea_popescu: if it were possible to have one i'd consider getting one.
asciilifeform: i.e. exempt from all reg
asciilifeform: -- never for rent, to anyone, and never subject to inspections, etc
mircea_popescu: this thing only works in the mind of soon-to-be-smoke jews.
mircea_popescu: whereby you can somehow magically be a thing of the past only.
asciilifeform: what's a jew but solid smoke

asciilifeform: some 'past only' l0l.
mircea_popescu: i meant more like "this no longer happens but it continues to happen for me only". it's nonsense.
trinque: BingoBoingo: I was going to say, one measure might be whether the cops are going to need something more than a boot to enter
mircea_popescu: seems the basic definition of mansion includes "off limits to police"
asciilifeform: if this, then they certainly qualify in practice !
mircea_popescu: anmd you knoiw this how ?
trinque: also, "can house all the help" which of course implies on-site help
mircea_popescu: also gps ?
asciilifeform never lived in a mansion, but has lived in streets where the police show up every day, and ones where didn't see a single one in a decade of staring out window
asciilifeform: this, i suppose, counts for nothing, because 'view from gps'.
asciilifeform: whatever.
mircea_popescu: so you lived in teh mansion ?
asciilifeform: whereas to me, 'corzine is not getting anally dilated in prison' =~= 'there are mansions, and they are off limits to police'
mircea_popescu: nobody's getting "anally dilated" in prison dude. wake up and smell the coffee, erections are rare.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck do you think actually wants to fuck you.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i lived in suburbia. which is pointedly not the same thing, the mechanism whereby the police are kept distant is entirely different (obedience)
mircea_popescu: so then if you yourself don't accept the thing you propose as proof, as proof, what do you want from me!
asciilifeform: sorta more like the warm zone at auschwitz
mircea_popescu: what whatever ? no whatever, tu quoque.
asciilifeform: nah, the ~real~ mansions are where corzines, SES plum book, etc. live.
mircea_popescu: or so you posit. because "x gotta exist, and y is the more likely to succeed".
asciilifeform: the $maxint folks who never see the inside of a courtroom except as plaintiffs
mircea_popescu: the breaking news being that no, x doesn't exist. all soviets live like animals.
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking point of soviet life.
asciilifeform: i saw 'guccifer''s photos of aria rockefeller's house.
asciilifeform: what was soviet about it?
mircea_popescu: and this is what i meant earlier re "revolutionary term of art". there's this notion that members of the proletariat fight each other over imaginary class distinctions instead of uniting.
asciilifeform: and bush's, too
mircea_popescu: same idea here. you think X has it ? no usian has it.
mircea_popescu: obama's life is shit, in kenyan terms.
mircea_popescu: fucking us president, still lives worse than his grandfather,
asciilifeform: for my education, demonstrate how bush doesn't 'have it'
asciilifeform: and what 'it' is
mircea_popescu: you get to say what "it" is.
mircea_popescu: and you keep not wanting to.
asciilifeform: but my 'it' doesn't work. because it is the answer of the shipwrecked sailor re: what is best in life - 'food! water!'
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: pig: 'as much slop as will ever fit in me!'
asciilifeform: see the old mircea_popescu article re: teenagers and sex
asciilifeform: the only solid hypothesis i can make re: bush et al is that they know what 'it' is, having scratched all other conceivable itches.
mircea_popescu: let's start with a simple thing. if x owns a mansion, and x owns a wife, and x beats the shit out of his wife and throws her into the street naked to henceforth fend for herself,
trinque: asciilifeform: I think Bushes and everyone like them are entirely trapped
mircea_popescu: there is at no point any fucking question of a) being required to take her back in or b) being required to give up the mansion.
mircea_popescu: this, imo, is sufficient definition.
trinque: how many decisions do they make on their own per day? what's the ratio?
mircea_popescu: and also ends the question of "mansion in the us".
asciilifeform finally grasps what mircea_popescu was getting at.
mircea_popescu: yes, they can have hovels of all sizes.
asciilifeform: this is true, no one in usa is ghaddafi.
asciilifeform: it doesn't work.
asciilifeform: any more than on the moon.
mircea_popescu: that a 1789 nigger may be allowed to build himself a log cabin the size of the washington momunent
mircea_popescu: doth not make the exceptionally large log cabin a "town house".
mircea_popescu: first off, because there's no town.
mircea_popescu: even if the house itself may be the size of a contemporary town.
asciilifeform: aaand because it isn't a house if there is shitting on the floor happening.
mircea_popescu: so there you go.
mircea_popescu: but this is me, and i don't live there.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, tons of mansions throughout the world. from romania to sudan and from albania to pakistan.
mircea_popescu: many of them smaller than whatever you currently occupy.
mircea_popescu: and noisier. and whatever-er.
asciilifeform: this is really more a mansion in one's mind.
asciilifeform: bush would not gain it by moving to pakistan.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the jews resisting the flames through culture all went to the castle in the mind.
mircea_popescu: good for 'em.
mircea_popescu: and of fucking course bush would not gain it, whatever the fuck he does.
mircea_popescu: part of parcel of why actual people do not wish to live in the land of the dumb.
trinque: I met people in TX that were a meatwot node away from the Bush family. They're *not* free people.
asciilifeform: trinque: in what sense not ?
mircea_popescu: trinque the day the retired head of the spyhouse is excruciated in public over ANY THING you know the place's dead.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck did they not do that to hoover, if they were that brave ?
asciilifeform: why did beria's bullet have to wait for a dead stalin ?
mircea_popescu is kinda curious to see how that'd have went. three different presidents wanted to sack the schmuck but gave up because "political cost too great". ie, mansion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because soviets lived like animals.
mircea_popescu: no mansions.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now this, yes
mircea_popescu: same thing, just, too close to notice.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter notice that stalin also didn't move against beria
mircea_popescu: not that he didn't want to. but, old men are cowardly, regardless of what they were in their youth.
trinque: asciilifeform: in the sense that they live lives of the strictest obedience both to some unspoken social idea of being politically "presentable" and literally to everyone involved in elevating them to what they are
asciilifeform: incidentally, usg imploded libya by vaguely promising 'mansions' - 'your crown-owned official mercedes will become yours! as will your crown-issued chicks!' etc
mircea_popescu: which is why old men make good senators and horrible dictators.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it worked, too. the us managed to get yet another ally for isis, at the cost of destructuring its mideastern holds.
mircea_popescu: they lost the saudis the day gadaffi fell.
asciilifeform: trinque: it melts my brain that someone with actual hold of, say, $100M u.s., wouldn't just pack off to timisoara or buenos aires
trinque: asciilifeform: that just isn't done
mircea_popescu: now the russians have the pincer on and there's exactly nothing the us can do to rebalance.
asciilifeform: fuck 'presentable'.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is their ideas of self worth are not accepted either place.
mircea_popescu: they have exactly your problem, "do not wish to compete with younger men"
asciilifeform: who needs 'idea of self worth' when you have $maxint.
mircea_popescu: all their meatwot is not there.
