I'm always a bit wary of such shortcuts, because in my experience this
often leads to forget about benevolence, and thus forget about what your
actual (technological) needs were.

As explained in my previous email, there are solutions for exchanging
data between two devices (and more).

Any such exchange might compromise your disk, potentially, as Tails
cannot protect you from compromised hardware.

And again, I think it's up to Android (app) developers to provide a
means to decrypt LUKS partitions on Android, not up to devices using
LUKS, such as Tails' encrypted persistent partition, to provide any kind
of technical means to do so. It's thus out of scope of Tails development.

What are you trying to achieve exactly? Accessing data to share it using
apps on the Android device for example? Why do you think this is useful?

For the record, I think this is something you can try to solve with
Android (opening a LUKS partition), but to me it looks like this is not
something that Tails can solve.

I would share files between the two devices like that:

- Use Tails and then use an unencrypted USB stick to transfer
  data to an Android device for example.

- Plug the Android device while using Tails and mount the device disk in
  Tails to transfer data between the two.

Thanks for this link! I don't use Hugo myself, and (I personally would

Thanks for the suggestion. We do not want to bloat Tails too much for

[Tails-dev] Call for testing: USB image second boot failure

2019-05-16 Thread u
Hi!

some time ago, we started distributing USB images alongside our ISO
images, so that the installation process would get easier (especially
for Windows and macOS users) and faster (by getting rid of the need to
install an intermediary Tails device).

Using the USB image, on first boot the system partition is resized
automatically. This seems to fail on some computers, but we have very
little data about the usefulness of a proposed fix.

You can help


This is why we ask you today to help us test a fix, even and
_especially_ if you did _not_ encounter this bug of a Tails device not
booting a second time. The idea is that we want to see if our fix
results in regressions for users for whom it initially worked. [1]

Interested?
===

- Please download the .img file from
https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_bugfix-16389-recompute-chs/builds/lastSuccessfulBuild/archive/build-artifacts/

- Install the image to a USB key, following the procedure indicated
  here:

  - from Windows https://tails.boum.org/install/win/usb/
  - from macOS https://tails.boum.org/install/mac/usb/
  - from Linux https://tails.boum.org/install/linux/usb/

- Boot your computer with this Tails device once. Shut down.
- Boot your computer with this Tails devide again.

- Please report back in reply to this email (public mailing list):

  - Brand and model of the USB stick and the computer used for testing
  - Did the device boot a second time?
  - If not: did you see an error message on boot? What did it say?

Thank you for your help!

I've noted some of your remarks (cross-origin policy + file caching)
this on the ticket description of
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16128

However, currently we do this version check to check if the extension
verification is up to date on user's browsers. When implementing the
code on the website instead, the worst that will happen is that some
users live with 24 hours of cached JS code - that we can actually force
to be reloaded with methods described in the ticket I linked previously,
hence I believe the concern is even less concerning than in the current
setup (that requires intervention from users to update their extension).

Noted. I think that we would need to and we'll be able to tighten the

I don't think this increases this need: it's still the same as it is
now, as the Installation Assistant already uses Javascript files hosted
on the server.

…unless the logic of the verification extension changes substantially:

it could alert the user differently than by using postMessage and
display failure messages in the browser using some sort of ugly browser
popup  instead of displaying the information on our website. Then the
website can not interfere. I did not check if this is possible technically.

Ideally we'd only maintain one of those, but I think your idea is good:
if we could increase verification by having an internal mechanism, this
would be an improvement. However, the question remains: what happens if
an attacker controls the website?

I'm not quite sure what you mean but we regularly and automatically
check that all the mirrors serve correct images ({IMG, ISO} + SIG are
checked), independently of the individual verification that users should
do when downloading an image. But there might be a delay with us
reacting to this if a mirror is compromised.

[Tails-dev] Security implications: moving code from Verification Extension to our website

2019-03-20 Thread u
Hi security people,

after working on the Verification Extension for the USB image project, I
proposed to get rid of it and integrate the Javascript code that
performs the verification directly into our website [1].

Today I'm writing to you because we need your valuable input on the
security implications that such a move might have. We lack these skills
in our team and would appreciate your help. Below, I'll describe the
current state of things, the possible benefits of this move and then
I'll try to outline the security question we have.

Current state of things
---

Users download Tails images via mirrors operated by volunteers. When
installing Tails, we advise users to verify the files downloaded using
the Verification Extension, that currently works in Firefox and Chrome.
The extension only downloads a JSON file located at tails.boum.org over
HTTPS, and checks that the hashsum we provide matches that of the user
downloaded Tails image.

We know from Javascript statistics of our download page that roughly
~20% of the downloads of Tails images are verified by users using the
verification extension. The optional OpenPGP verification accounts for
9% of downloads (computed using the number of downloads of the OpenPGP
signature). This means that >70% of Tails downloads might currently not
be verified at all.

Benefits of moving this code directly into our website
--

- More users could more easily verify the images they download.
  (Note that we don't have metrics for the percentage of users affected,
  because we lack a detailed analysis of why so few users verify their
  download.)

- It will increase usability for users, as they won't have to install an
  extension anymore.

- Downloads could possibly be verified using other browsers, like Safari
  and recent versions of IE. (Note however that these browsers currently
  represent only 1% of visitors to the download pages.)

- There'll be a bit less maintenance work for us, but not much: as we
  would still have to test the code regularly.

General security implications
-

The question we are asking ourselves is: are there any predictable
downsides to move the verification code from an extension to the website?

If needed, details about the security threats and measures of the
extension can be found in our design documentation [2].

Cost


Replacing the extension is going to cost money:

A rough estimate is that it'll require ~100 hours of work from
developers, UX designers, technical writers, managers, and accountant to
make this happen, in two iterations (see [1] for a detailed
implementation plan).

Glad to read your thoughts!

Thank you for your input,

As far as Debian is concerned, there is an RC bug that has been opened
for this issue on Feb 7th, without reply from the maintainer:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921688

I sent him an email yesterday, but I think at this point we can probably
assume that he's not going to handle this issue fast.

I have looked into the packaging [1] a bit, it seems doable to prepare a
new upstream version for 3.14.

[Tails-dev] Less ticket triaging → better self-organized views

2019-03-07 Thread u
Hi!

as we are in the progress of refining the ticket gardening role, to make
it use less valuable time and energy, we created two views to help
everyone prioritize their work better. I'm sending you the links to
these views so you can have a look. You can also find both views in
Redmine's "Custom queries" bar for future reference.


1. *Stalled: unblock other people's work*
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=317

This provides you with a view of tickets assigned to you where QA Check
is "Ready for QA" or "Info Needed", i.e. someone else is waiting for
your input and you can help unblock their work.


2. *Stalled: work marked in progress without updates for a while*
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=316

This view shows you tickets assigned to you that have already seen
progress but then have not been updated for a long time.

When looking at tickets in this view, please ask yourself if you can
realistically come back to them and finish the work in the next 6
months. If yes: please add a suitable target version and when relevant,
add a "blocks" relationship to the "Core work: $team in $quarter"
ticket. If no: deassign yourself, then: if relevant for a core team [1],
bring it to their attention; or else, forget it, make some tea and relax :)

You don't have to do that now, in the future we plan to send automated
reminders regularly to everyone concerned.

Don't hesitate to ask me on the list or in private if you're not sure
what to do.

Cheers!

[Tails-dev] Ticket triaging session: you can help

2019-02-07 Thread u
Hi!

starting on March 4th, I'll be triaging tickets on Redmine for a week.
If you can, please go through your tickets before this date and try to

- add all relevant metadata (are you working on it: mark in progress,
  are you blocked: write a comment with details, are you waiting for
  review: mark ready for QA etc.)

- unassign yourself from those that you don't want to work on anymore

- close tickets that are done

Don't hesitate to ask here or in private for clarification if you don't
know what to do with a ticket, or just leave them as they are → I'll go
through all of them one by one in March anyway.

I often see in nerd communities a strong capacity for problem solving,
but often people find solutions before actually having a problem
defintion. In order to understand how useful such a solution might be,

[Tails-dev] Deadline 2018-06-29 Please test pre-commit hook for po files

2018-06-19 Thread u
Fellow translators and developers,

three weeks ago I've asked on your lists to test a Git hook we've
implemented. We've improved this hook and created a script to make your
po files comply with this hook. Before we merge this and enable it by
default please test this. Deadline Friday 23:59 Berlin time, June 29th 2018.

Git hook for PO files
=

(Assuming tails.git is called `tails` as a remote.)
In order to enable the git hook (& assuming you have none enabled yet):

git checkout -t tails/translation_platform_hooks
git submodule update --init
cd .git/hooks
ln -s ../../bin/pre-commit-translation pre-commit

The hook will only run when you try to commit a PO file, not when
working on other files.

Expected format
===

Now, running it as it, will likely result in errors, because the hook
assumes a certain format of PO files and its headers:

- PO files are supposed to be wrapped at 79 chars per line, this is
  POedit's default.
- empty Project-Id-Version
- Last-Translator: Tails translators 
- Language-Team: Tails translators 

This is because we want to avoid merge conflicts when automatically
merging files on and from the translation platform.

Your name is still in the Git commit, so there is no need to worry about
attribution.

Make your files comply: unify PO headers


In order to make all files in your language comply you can run our
script in the same branch, where $LANG is your language code, for
example portuguese:

LANG=pt
git checkout -t origin/translation_platform_hooks
./wiki/src/contribute/l10n_tricks/unify_po-headers.sh $LANG

Now, look at the `git diff`.
Commit all modified files locally.

Then try to edit a PO file like you usually do and see if you can
commit. If you can't:
- try to understand the error message,
- fix it or report back here if it's impossible or you do not understand
  the error.

I've also asked for a merge into tails/master of PO files in all
languages cleaned with this unification script but this did not yet
happen. When it will, I'll let you know.

In the future, you could decide to run the unify_po-headers script every
time you want to commit PO files and it'll take care of reformatting
your files.

Cheers!

Hmmm, my proposal was not only about searching documents, but about a
list of software useful for journalists.

I will thus rename this blueprint to

Next time I'll try to be more reactive upfront.

Hi!

I've prepared a branch that unifies all the PO headers of our PO files
and makes them follow our new rules.

I'd like to see this  branch merged in to master after review:

It will likely create conflicts on Weblate, but I can help with this if

Actually, the cool thing is that we have a script for it :) See

  ./wiki/src/contribute/l10n_tricks/unify_po-headers.sh de

Where "de" is the language code of the files you want to fix.

I've prepared a branch with clean files nevertheless:

This will happen.

I think it'd be useful to identify some of these tools, and propose them
when people launch the Additional Software Feature GUI for the first
time. Also see https://tails.boum.org/news/test_asp-beta/index.en.html

I don't think we should maintain a deb repo for this. Instead, let's
identify some useful candidates we could propose to install in our
documentation on top of what I said above.

It has never been requested by many people to include this tool.

We currently work on a GUI for the additional software feature in Tails.
This feature allows to better choose which package to install to a Tails
device on top of the default software. We're currently in the Beta stage
and we wondered if it was useful to propose to users to install certain
packages, when they run this GUI for the first time. Maybe catfish would
be a good candidate. I did not check on it's dependencies though not
verify how the search suggestions provided by zeitgeist would work in
the context of Tails.

If you want to try this feature and install catfish for example please
read https://tails.boum.org/news/test_asp-beta/ and report back :)

Correct, it's not in Debian.

Absolutely, as said in my email, we did not do that yet and we'll do it
once people have tested it and we are ready to merge. At least that was
the initial plan.

So, would you suggest we do that on master right now? Or should we
instead wait for more comments before making such a modification?

ikiwiki on the production server is currently not impacted by this hook

later stage.

check_po.sh lives in a submodule and we have updated this script in a
branch of the same name. So people need to update - at least in case
they've never checked out the repository. I'm not 100% sure it's needed
in the case you have checked out the submodules, but I've put it in the
instructions to be sure.

Agreed. I think Tails uses the package from Debian Stretch (0.2.1) and
it should use the one from Debian unstable or stretch-backports
(currently in NEW queue).

Sorry about not sending this to all lists. I've sent it to our internal
list where active contributors hang out and to the public -project list
and thought that this would be enough, because it is here that I assumed
reaching the people who generally participate in these meetings.

I think I've just received an email by intrigeri on -project stating
that this proposal has indeed passed. However, it is an exception for
this month only

So, the contributor meeting *will* indeed happen at 16:00 CEST today.

Creating a derivative does not only involve creating the derivative, but
maintaining it. As you might know, we release Tails every 6 weeks, based
on the TorBrowser & FF ESR schedule.

I believe that this is not necessarily the way to go. Instead, it would
be useful to know what SecureDrop is missing in Tails that it finds in
Qubes, and how this might be addressed. So instead of creating a
derivative, it seems more interesting to me at first sight to try to
contribute improvements to Tails.

I'm totally fine with your summary and I will report these bugs/feature

website (non function on FF, blocked as XSS by Chromium) which made me

I only did basic verifications of escaping inserted code and regexps as
well as what I've sent on the list - and what Uzair has now fixed, i.e.
replacing * by our URL. I ran the code through JSLint as well and
reported my findings in the public email "Review of verification extension".

And as said in private, I'd be glad if intrigeri could take a look from
more of a security pov.

[Tails-dev] Review of verification-extension

2017-11-13 Thread u
Dear Uzair,

so here is a more complete review of the extension.

As said, I think there are two urgent matters:

- manifest.json:
  -  "permissions": [
 "http://*/*;,
 -> please deactivate HTTP. We only want to download over HTTPS.

- contentscript/verify.js:
  - fetchConf(): please wrap regexps.

And here are some other points I realized. If you think that any of
these points are not applicable, please don't hesitate to comment. I'm
not an expert in webextensions.

- contentscript/conf.js:
  - change the descriptor file to
https://tails.boum.org/install/v1/Tails/amd64/stable/latest.yml (I think
sajolida created a ticket on our bugtracker already. It's not urgent,
because the other files currently contains the same contents.)

- contentscript/verify.js:
  - are we sure that no other URL could be injected here: ajaxData.url=
this.conf.descriptor; ?
- if not let's try to at least verify that the URL starts with
  https:// and comes from tails.boum.org
  - What kind of comments does this remove:
44 data = data.replace(/^[^'"]*#.*/gm, ''); // remove most comments
I don't see any in
https://tails.boum.org/install/v1/Tails/amd64/stable/latest.yml

  - setVerifyListener(){
let self = this;
this.$(this.document).on("change", this.conf.verifySelector, (e) => {
self.calculateHash(e.target);
});
}
-> So here we assume that the person clicks nicely on our button to
verify and that nobody will interfere.
   - Can we not verify automatically once the download is finished?
   - Also, can we have a listener for the hash in the URL?
 For example, if I closed the window but now I want to come back
and just do the verification without downloading again?

- manifest.json:
  - "description": "Verify downloaded file", -> please make it clear
that this verifies a Tails ISO image using a SHA256 checksum. (I think
sajolida will handle this.)

- origin of files:
  vendor/forge.js: please add a URL of origin for this script as well as
a version number so that we can update it in the future.

- JSLint http://www.jslint.com/ - this is a tool to write JS code which
is not error prone and I think it would be nice to follow the
requirements of JSLint.
  - Please use double quotes instead of single quotes.
  - convert tabs to spaces
  - fart operator =>
-  example: this.fetchConf().done()=>{
   JSLint requires the parens around the parameters, and forbids a {
left brace after the => fart to avoid syntactic ambiguity. See:
http://www.jslint.com/help.html#function
 - replace for loops with foreach (low prio)

- Consider using strict-mode:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode
  We want this code to be forwards compatible as much as possible as
well as as secure as possible.

- Integrated jquery library. Can we get rid of it and use only vanillaJS?

- Whishlist: please document how to test the extension locally in a
README file.
  - Exclude this README file from the resulting XPI.
  - See as example the HACKING file in tails
ta...@git.tails.boum.org:download-and-verify-extension

I.. just did it in 01bb8cf57aa594e776b1e7b466cadcb53d6cbf5d.

Please revert if you think I should have waited or done it differently.

What my problems with ikiwiki were while working on the donation campaign:

- make it easy to add parameters to URLs when building links, i.e.
  [[linktext|path/to/link]] should be able to also build links that
resemble [[linktext|path/to/link?param=something]] and let's go crazy:
[[linktext|path/to/link?param=something]]

- the template language can only check for boolean variables while it
should be possible to check for a value, i.e. @if var == (string)
value@. Currently ikiwiki can only either print variables or check if
they are set or not. This is the part I found extremely limiting.

- I want to be able to include template parts, or to be more precise,
.mdwn files, within page.tmpl based on some if statement. These template
parts should be translateable.

I can create bug reports out of these three things I guess.

It has been like this forever. When I asked about it last time, I was

I think it's nice BUT there needs to be more space on top and bottom.
Stuff needs to breathe.. So please don't add a padding or anything,
because this will break other stuff I did in the donation banner branch,
but instead make the image slightly smaller.

Now it's 100px in height and the the whole banner is 114px high. I think
we need at least 10-15px on top and below, so the logo should not be
higher than 90px.

Also, what I find weird is that the USB stick is not horizontally
aligned with the text. You see, the stick is higher than the T and lower
too. I can live with this.

But I can't live with the missing breathing space.

I cannot confirm that I see this. And I think you did not push your
modification.

Please note that in the donation banner branch I did some other
modifications, like giving a unit to the line-height on body. Which was
actually never taken into account... because of the missing unit :) ANd
I think this fixes quite a lot of stuff.

Please let me know if you need anything else from me before merging this
branch.

Cheers

I find it quite problematic to have this discussion now :( I really
don't want this to stop us from launching our donation campaign. So
let's please not do that. It's been way too complicated already to make
some tiny CSS fixes. Not only is my build wiki setup problematic, but
every time we start moving something somewhere, new issues come up, and
ground discussions are ignited which makes it very very hard for me to
keep my motivation when waiting and working for over three weeks to get
some lines of CSS merged.

For LTR languages, this is expected to overlay the breadcrumbs. The

Uh, "it *seems* to add a black border-bottom" or it does add a border?

I don't see that border and git show
d2d5d8d76449eab066bb1e992724d13b0b24496f shows indeed that I removed a
border, but there is no border which this div inherits, and thus, this
line is not necessary.

Ok, that's done, rather poorly though, it mixes part of CSS commit with

Soonish was supposed to mean that I'd like to merge this into my

So the earlier the better, without stress though.

I think option B being less work in general, for all of us, so IMO we
should go this way instead. I can absolutely take the time to prepare
communication next week so that sajolida would have enough time to
review it.

Ethereum seems to be the second most trending Cryptocurrency after
Bitcoin. We have decided some time ago that while many new
cryptocurrencies keep popping up we shall wait and see how this
landscape evolves.

In any case, in order to get such a client included in Tails, it should
first be available as official Debian package, not simply in a PPA.
Please read more about this here:
https://tails.boum.org/support/faq/#new_software

A request for package has already been issued it seems:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860434

We do not have the manpower to work on this ourselves, as it is outside
of Tails mission to get this software packaged.

Cheers!

[Tails-dev] May 2017 Contributors meeting notes

2017-05-03 Thread u
Hi,

I've pushed the meeting notes from todays short meeting to
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/meetings/201705 and updated the
tickets that we've discussed accordingly.

Four people attended the meeting.

We've deleted some tickets from the agenda:

[[!tails_ticket 11882 desc="disable recent usage and history in privacy
settings by default"]] This tickets seems to have been discussed
previously so it's unclear what's left to do here.

[[!tails_ticket 12214 desc="Consider documenting a way to manually
backup persistent data"]] This ticket is not marked "Discuss" and does
not ask for a specific question to discuss.

[[!tails_ticket 12442 desc="Define a process how to become a
sponsor/partner"]] I added this myself and then deleted it because I've
already received valuable feedback which I will work on and share with
everybody once I'm ready.

[[!tails_ticket 12402 desc="Include Yubico Authenticator in Tails"]]
We skipped this ticket because it was late and we started the meeting late.

Cheers!

Yes, I was aware that this is an old problem, but I did not know exactly

How do you do that "fix some minor issue on one of the inlined pages" ?
Or should I just look at that myself in Git? :) So I can do it myself
next time..

I will handle the rc one (fontconfig in reproducible ISO), and the 3.0
one is about the sponsor page. It's doable too.

Does that mean that there is a package already somewhere? And thus, that
the code used to generate that package is available? That might be
helpful for Alexandre I guess.

Thank you. I did not review this, I just wanted to answer your question:

I think the preferred way is to create a Git branch and publish it
somewhere and then issue a merge request on this list like you just did
with the patches.

From a web accessibility point of view, it's good to either have
alt="Something descriptive" or an empty alt="" - as said by xin.

See
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Img#Attributes.
Quoting from there:

"Setting this attribute to an empty string (alt="") indicates that this
image is not a key part of the content, and that non-visual browsers may
omit it from rendering."

I did not look at the branch but it should not completely remove the
alt, just its contents when necessary.

Cheers!

Re: [Tails-dev] Our Torbirdy patches needs refreshing

Question 1: how urgent is this?
Question 2: Against which version of Torbirdy do you try to apply those
patches?

I've not worked on theses patches myself, but after a very quick glance
I can see that they seem to apply to an older version of Torbirdy.

I've created https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11619 and will look
into it more in detail or ask anonym to do this.
