FreeBSD maximum password length

2013-06-17 Thread takCoder
Hi Everyone,

As i googled it,  there is no maximum limitations for users' password
length by default.. But we may use *pam_passwdqc* module with *max* option
to check it when required.

And i've heard that no-maximum-limits for passwords length is only possible
when we keep them in encrypted form not as plain text, which i think is
matched with FreeBSD behavior.

Am i right? Is that all about maximum password length in FreeBSD? Did i
miss something??

Thank you for all your helps and ideas :)

Best Regards,
takCoder

You can also use this trick to work on youtube directly:

This video use flash player:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M84Y6VXAIaU

This will give you player directly and can skip flash:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/M84Y6VXAIaU

This will download the video:
http://www.youtube.com/v/M84Y6VXAIaU

Not sure how to change format of a video that will be downloaded. You
can also use http://www.offliberty.com to download audio and video
tracks of web clips in mp3/mp4 format :-)

There isn't a max password length as far as I'm aware, but there is a max  
username length that drive me insane sometimes. I should really file a PR

Thank you, Mark, for your helpful answer :)

yes, i am aware of the max username length of 16characters.. I just wanted
to become sure about password max length, cause i need to moderate it in my
self-built user interface..

Thank you again :)

installing a kernel under a custom location, not /boot/kernel?

I think there is an option for this.
But I cannot find it under

I need to keep several kernels installed, not

_PASSWORD_LEN is the defined limit. It's 128 characters by default but
could be changed at compile time. There may be other limits, such as in
various versions of NIS.

I'm not sure I understand what you're doing, so I don't have any real

with.

 I meant i think FreeBSD does not use plain-text passwords, so we won't
have a limitation for that reason.. excuse me for my poor english.

I need to moderate the input password in my system's user interface. And I
believe i have tested longer passwords than that, about 1000 characters
long, and there was no limitations, via using this command in a /bin/sh
test shell script : echo PASSWORD | pw user mod USER -h 0.

at least there was no errors reported by *pw*. i did not test the user
myself.. and it somehow seems correct, as the encrypted output string may
be not a function of the input string, based on the method used.

Depends on the hashing algo.

Old crypt(3) stored passwords with a 12-bit (2x Base64 characters; 
[0-9a-zA-Z./]) followed by the hashed cleartext.

This [ancient] format limited password input to 8 characters. With this 
algorithm, input beyond 8 characters was ignored, so the behavior you describe 
is accurate -- with the old DES based one-way hash algorithm (which hasn't been 
default for a vey long time).

The default in FreeBSD is MD5, but you can go to AES256 (Rijndael) if you like, 
or Blowfish, or whatever you like. Each of these has different limitations, but 
will not exhibit the behavior you describe above.

There is no limit to these algorithms, only in the implementations -- that is 
to say that if you implement a read-buffer of 128k, that's the practical limit 
of your applications input (read: these algorithms have no limitations on 
input, however that being stated… no CRC algorithm has a limitation on input).

But be aware…

What makes these algorithms more secure is their larger salts *and* their 
stated rate of collisions.

MD5 is no longer considered secure. It's secure *enough* for most people, but 
if you run a tight ship, any one with a few multiplexed GPUs running a CUDA 
thread against your hash can break it in a matter of a week if not days. The 
benchmark (in my mind) for any cryptographically strong algo is that with 
almost dream-like hardware, it would still be impossible to reverse the one-way 
trapdoor hash in one's-own lifetime.

Of course, achieving that as a human can be hard considering that we rarely (if 
ever) produce strong inputs to the strong algorithms. However, if you want to 
be pedantic about choosing a strong password… you should actually take respite 
in the fact that these algorithms is still like their CRC brethren in that:

Inputs greater than the hash length are cryptographically more secure than 
inputs shorter than the hash length.

I digress…

Huzzah!

9.1-RELEASE and higher indeed use sha512 as the new default.

8.4 still using md5 though (and expected to stay that way).

Question…

Is sha512 the highest it goes in our system?

Here is a patch to apply to your code that gets the program a little
further: http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/diffs/prog.bas.diff

There were some O characters that should have been 0 instead and
at least a couple of Unicode characters that I removed.

It prints out some results up to the moon illuminance, and then
bwBasic core dumps, but maybe you'll be able to debug from there.

Good luck,

 There were some O characters that should have been 0 instead and
 at least a couple of Unicode characters that I removed.

 It prints out some results up to the moon illuminance, and then
 bwBasic core dumps, but maybe you'll be able to debug from there.

 Good luck,

Hi Chris,

I prepared a new patch that incorporates my fixes, yours and
Michael's.  I found the coredump - multiple missing right parens on
line 1170.  Then I ran into another problem on line 430 and made an
educated guess with the fix.

The new patch is here, and you'll need to apply it to the original
version of the program:

Hope that works,
Greg

Not sure what the limitations are. I know OpenBSD uses blowfish and I have

OpenBSD uses a high number of rounds on their blowfish to make brute

the lines that deal with the Sun's Az/El.  I have the original code that

As you need max syntax checking from OCR, throw it at as many
different basic interpreters/ compilers as you can,  inspect where
each bleats, some error messages may be more  less usefull for
different errors.

This parameter can be used to the make installkernel command,

Plus the corresponding settings in /boot/loader.conf:

kernel=testkernel

See /boot/defaults/loader.conf for details.

For booting test kernels, you might also find the nextboot command
very helpful; read man nextboot for more inspiration.

 9.1-RELEASE and higher indeed use sha512 as the new default.
 
 8.4 still using md5 though (and expected to stay that way).
 
 Question…
 
 Is sha512 the highest it goes in our system?

The precise cipher/hash is almost irrelevant. What's important is the
amount of work needed to evaluate a password in a bruteforce dictionary
attack. MD5 is still OK for password hashing, the problem is an
inadequate number of iterations in our particular implementation. A
similar problem exists with blowfish and arguably all of the rest.

Another problem is that all current schemes are inadvertently optimised
for GPU attack since they run in very little memory.

The bottom line is: don't let anyone steal your password file.

I'd say that bruteforce != dictionary. It's bruteforce _or_
dictionary attack instead.

A dictionary attack is more sophisticated because it uses words
from a dictionary, whereas a _real_ bruteforce will stupidly run
through _all_ combinations of the given charsets and length ranges.
It will _eventually_ be successful, even if our planet doesn't
exist anymore at that time. Finite time, far far away. :-)

Avoid sharing interrupts in FreeBSD under ESXi

2013-06-17 Thread C. L. Martinez
HI all,

 I have installed a FreeBSD 8.4 vm under an ESXi 5.1 U1 server. All
works ok, except for interrupt usage between mpt and nic interfaces:

root@fbsdtst:~ # vmstat -i
interrupt  total   rate
irq1: atkbd0   6  0
irq6: fdc0 9  0
irq16: em2 mpt2   945924  1
irq17: em3 em6   2124484  4
irq18: em0 em4 em7+  5950584 11
irq19: em1 em5 em8+   2317830055   4499
cpu0: timer206119496400
Total 2532970558   4916

 I have enabled the following options in loader.conf:

hw.pci.enable_msi=0
hw.pci.enable_msix=0

 without a result. Is it possible to avoid to share interrupts in
FreeBSD when it is running as a vm? Exists some kernel option to
resolve this (via sysctl or compiling a new kernel)?

Thanks.
