[Tails-dev] Detecting hidden partitions?
Hi, > > intrigeri: > the message that "plugging one's Tails > device in an untrusted OS is dangerous" > I respect this intention but struggle to see how the trust verification functions when equipped with only a warning; trust is hard to determine, especially up front, even if you "own" the machine. > > good enough > Don't let me bottleneck any development with philos. > > what problem these proposals > are tackling? > The same as this: > > detecting the presence of .DS_Store > files and friends > i.e., trusting the device. A use case could be: I see occupied bits on a USB stick I intend to use as a Tails device; I am concerned. I would like to recover this space but am unsure if reformatting is effective; it turns out extended partitions can go untouched during reformatting. I reformat. I still see the occupied bits; I am further concerned, specifically that my device has been pwnd by a powerful adversary. I wish there was a tool for this. - - - There is but should Tails provide the same service; probably not. However, if there is a potential Tails device integrity check tool, it could provide a complete service and visualize the partition table in some way; text is plenty.

[Tails-dev] Hacking Team looking at Tails
Hi, Austin English: filed https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11137 This is a very challenging problem. There are two cases that come to mind. 1. The device may become compromised before becoming a Tails device. In this case, the files/partitions are either hidden or protected and are not removed during reformatting. This is best addressed during the creation of a new Tails device. 2. The device may become compromised after becoming a Tails device. In this case, the files/partitions, which may be hidden or protected, are not removed after shutdown. This is best addressed during either the startup or shutdown processes of a living Tails device. sajolida: not about detecting malware but about training users .. good practices So, detecting/educating *that* but not *what*. This seems reasonable, as *what* would need blacklists, trust models, and so on. Also, given the actual (intended/expected) function of the hidden attribute files, e.g., preserving user settings, it seems that there are no benefits of having these, or any other, files on a Tails device. Don't plug your Tails in an untrusted OS I do not think this is an achievable model to promote because: - Trust is like STDIN; can be anything to anyone. - There seem to be no machines or systems that can have the guarantee that is referred to when we say 'Trust'. reinstalling is the only solution .. installing from the same untrusted OS really won't be. And educating (: How can Tails: - Inform of this device protection feature and what it does? - Detect the existence of unwanted files. - Disclose what the files are and where they were located in the file system? - Provide a resolution to remove the files and restore the devices integrity. - Guarantee the files removed are now gone and will not come back, or recommend a behavior model that will limit the possibility of files (re)appearing? Austin English: help for the ux portion I would be more than happy to put the files together or think through this some more. Feel free to send anything my way; can be as rough or polished as you got it. if detected, have the greeter pop up some big red warning box. This warning could replace the greeter. This warning might want to be ignored. discussed on tails-ux Copied for migration if needed.

[Tails-dev] Physical Ethernet Adapter
Hi, Spencer: Does Tails natively support external internet adapters? intrigeri: Yes, most of them (USB ones). Is this limited to either ethernet or wifi? Some more questions: How is Tails planning on addressing the lack of built-in ethernet ports, now and in the near future? I ask because I am working on the internet experience, as it relates to the startup flow. Given the ever increasing lack of ethernet ports on devices, and the increasing use of Tails as a security distribution, it seems valuable to investigate support for ethernet adapters and external wireless cards, PCI, USB, Thunderbolt, and so on.

[Tails-dev] OFTC Blocks Tor [was: Tails contributors meeting: Sunday January 03]
Hi, sajolida: irc.oftc.net is blocking Tor lately. For the record: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spencer: ERROR: Anonymous TOR usage is unavailable OFTC: Hello, I have a feeling that this might need to be directed to another IRC network; I think our message reads along the lines of "no more connections are accepted from this IP" or something a lot less useful than that error message. OFTC does occasionally need to turn off new Tor connections due to abuse, we're hoping to have a solution in place eventually that reduces how often we need to disable Tor network-wide. In the meantime, you'll just have to keep retrying periodically to see if new connections are allowed or not. Spencer: See attached. [scrubbed] OFTC: I was wrong about this; this error message does in fact come from OFTC when trying to use our web irc service over Tor; I hadn't realized that it has a different error message from more conventional IRC clients. it seems as if OFTC has attached something ... maybe to a file that isn't replaced during updates We do turn Tor off occasionally when it's under abuse but the specific web irc interface does have that error message. We're currently testing an interface to allow authenticated Tor users to connect even when we disallow new Tor connections in general. Feel free to create channels as you wish, keeping in mind that we're not interested in hosting illegal activities, software-related or not. What is a "new" connection defined as? ] Our Tor blocking is enforced entirely at connect time; existing connections aren't disconnected when we block Tor, though the mechanism to remove abusers sometimes results in disconnecting unrelated Tor users. There must be something I can look for in some captures to help resolve this. Probably the best way forward is to run a local irc client such as weechat, quassel, irssi, etc. I don't know if the web gateway will be open for anonymous Tor users or not. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I never inquired as to what an "authenticated Tor user" is.

Hi, Michael English: Tails should have a page on the website dedicated to recommended computer hardware. intrigeri: I'd be glad to see a team commit to set up _and maintain_ such a page :) USB Sticks would be a reasonable start. Also, major computer manufacturers are known to have BIOS level backdoors which renders Tails security useless. Smaller computer manufacturers on the above list would be less likely to violate users' security and privacy on a hardware level. there are such "backdoors" in Intel ME (present in any recent Intel CPU, cannot be disabled in practice), and most computer manufacturers use firmware (BIOS) provided by very few vendors Maybe a DIY BIOS how-to would be a more reasonable start, though quite out of scope of the documentation, maybe.

Hi, sajolida: If gnome-screensaver remains in Tails Jessie, are we OK with the current UX for people with no password (blanking the screen but not locking it)? intrigeri: I'd rather disable it but I can live with it. See earlier discussion on this topic: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10403#note-3 If this is the screen with the clock that slides away, then it could go since it isn't clear how it functions without a touchscreen :( If this same screen is considered a screensaver and can be customized, then people will not associate it with any level of security, making its somewhat usable functionality okay :) However, having a default passphrase is difficult to guess at, though it seems all are against having that.

[Tails-dev] [Tails - Feature #5991] Include BitTorrent software
Hey, sajolida: Based on my limited understanding of the topic, I think that the way to go would be to document how to do Torrent over I2P. Maybe. IP Configuration and added steps are somewhat of a blocker, or at least reduce the smoothness of the experience. Some people started working on this a while ago task right now: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/9563. Thanks for this link :) Did you check our I2P documentation. I did. The instructions [0] may provide extra benefit if linked to from the 'Design' section of [1] and directly from the BitTorrent section [2] on the FAQ. I'm in favor of documenting how to use Torrent over I2P, either in the I2P page, in a subpage, or in the advanced topics section. Up to you since you know this :) Documentation is super important here given the context. Let me know if you would like me to assist.

[Tails-dev] [Tails - Feature #5991] Include BitTorrent software
Hi, str4d: If I2P is enabled The Design section at https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/I2P/ points out some I2P issues. A new question is, are these concerns relevant to the Tor Network as well? If so, then maybe there can be a "Torrent over I2P :)" consensus based on the Tor Project's preference to not support torrenting. adding the i2p flag to the boot parameters The Tails documentation on this is not clear to me. Also, the links https://tails.boum.org/geti2p.net and http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2psnark do not load :( [native application] only usable with I2P Easy, and I think maybe a good way to go. Something less usefully bloated than Vuze might be more suitable...the I2P documentation has some good alternatives. Perhaps something to this effect could be added to the documentation? sajolida, what do you think? Side note: I2P supports UDP traffic, but only really for apps that are built with I2P support (either native Java, or via the SAM API). Both I2PSnark and Vuze have DHT support, and IIRC there is a proposal for implementing uTP. We do also have a SOCKS tunnel that we haven't finished adding UDP support to, because of a lack of dev time/funds/incentive... I2P torrent clients (and apps in general) use a single Destination, so usually only have two or three tunnels built at any one time. This can be manually increased up to a maximum of 16, although six is usually sufficient to see a decent speed increase. Good to know :) Tails defaults to hidden mode; then again, the number of people using Tails for I2P torrenting would probably be low, compared to the number of Vuze nodes (which currently are estimated to make up about 30-40% of the I2P network). If people see Tails and I2P as a gateway to torrenting their long-lost Where's Wally VHS, that could change.

[Tails-dev] [Tails - Feature #5991] Include BitTorrent software
Hi, Tails should either include BitTorrent software, explain how to safely use user installed BitTorrent software, or document the technical limitations behind not doing so. The purpose of this thread is to discuss and conclude the matter of including/supporting BitTorrent in some way in Tails. This [0] is what we currently say. This [1] is the existing ticket. Research Thus Far (If there is more please include) --- Tor Project Blog Post: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea Feedback from a user: I tried apt-get install ctorrent followed by torify ctorrent torrentfile.torrent while monitoring all communication with Wireshark. While ctorrent always generate new unique peer and key IDs each time the torrent is started, always report the same port, and always report IP=0.0.0.0, do not attempt to discover external ip, and no proxy bypasses happens, I concluded it may be safe to use. Besides that UDP does not work at all over Tor (DHT, uTP, UDP trackers etc...), which of course reduce the usefulness of a BitTorrent client in Tails, there is one real major problem I can see: Each connection to a peer is going through its own Tor circuit. This means Tor ends up building about 100 circuits, using about half of them at any time. It also means it easily reach download speeds of 3 megabyte/second. One basically never get over 150 kilobytes/second through one single circuit (e.g. http downloads), so this DOES put a lot of load on the Tor network. Proposed solution would be to get all connections for the same torrent through the same circuit. What To Do --- - Talk about the protocol (What are the issues with UDP [2], TCP, extensions, and so on?) - Talk about the circuits/load (Can connections be funneled through less circuits and/or be less of a burden?) - Talk about pre/post packaging (Will we include BitTorrent software in Tails?) If this sounds good, let's do it :) Wordlife, Spencer [0]: https://tails.boum.org/support/faq/index.en.html#index29h2 [1]: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5991 [2]: https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot15/workshop-program/presentation/p2p-file-sharing-hell-exploiting-bittorrent ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

[Tails-dev] Releasing automated tests
Hi,
anonym:
Neat! That's is a very useful Git feature. Thanks for letting me know
about it!
Then I think we can combine the "..." operator with another fancy Git
feature I recently found, namely Git pathspec "magic signatures". So we
could do:
BASE_BRANCH_DIFF="$(git diff $base_branch...$commit -- \
'*' \
':!/wiki' \
':!/ikiwiki.setup' \
':!/ikiwiki-cgi.setup')"
if [ -z "${BASE_BRANCH_DIFF}" ]; then
CUCUMBER_ARGS="${CUCUMBER_ARGS} --tag @doc"
fi
where $commit is the commit we test, before merging the base branch
locally. Interesting!
I don't understand this at all!
Don't mind me :)

Direct USB Stick install might differ, but maybe not since I think the startup icons are driven by the firmware on whatever device is in question. Well, now I'm wondering ... No worries. Although Cheetah, Panther, Leopard, and Lion introduce major graphic updates, it seems that there are only two major startup screens Mac users will be presented with today: - One for Yosemite & El Capitan. - One for Lion to Mavericks. The differences here are icons and background colors; minor enough that it isn't confusing (unless they have the bug that shows a ghost volume, but an update would resolve that).

Hi, Lunar: a couple pain points getting connected to the Tor network: * hard to notice to click on icon to select Wi-Fi network. A resolution is needed. * It's the first time I'm coming to this café... * It's the first time I'm coming to this office... User profiles are in active(ish) development, so we can address this there. * no clue to start the Unsafe Browser to get through captive portal. Some instruction is needed. * Tor can take while to notice that captive portal connects. Some feedback is needed. Tor meeting brainstorm summary. probably in the greeter 'Network' would fit nicely with 'Language', 'Storage', and 'Privacy', as it is common to include network configuration in an install/boot/startup flow. However, in our case, it might also be appropriate to have network configuration be some heads-up option in the desktop environment, as many people choose not to use networking, especially at boot, since they might want to ensure firewalls or monitors are properly working. 1. Automatic configuration. (I don't fear to be identified as a Tails user.) 2. Manual configuration. (I don't want to attract any attention and I know how to configure the network and Tor.) 3. Offline only. These are cool and could fit nicely in the Guided Configuration dialogs, should 'Networks' appear in the Greeter. Otherwise, we can figure something out. Attached (are) post-its Yay!

Spencer, interested in helping to make some wireframes? Sure.
