  120. jonas’

    anyone have a good suggestion how to validate that a listing of a service in disco#items is actually intended by the listed service? I’m asking in the context of muclumbus/search: it is easy for an adversary to list a service in their disco#items which is accessible via s2s, but which doesn’t want to be listed. For example, if someone wanted to host a "hidden" IRC gateway and someone else noted that, someone else could add it to their disco#items and thus un-hide it.

    jonas’, you could possibly filter out items with an xmpp address not being a "child" address of the requested entity

  157. intosi has left

  158. intosi has joined

  159. jonas’

    flow, how would one determine that?

  160. jonas’

    DNS-based? :/

  161. flow

    xmpp address based?

  162. flow

    and this means domainpart based

  163. flow

    but maybe I misunderstand the question

  164. flow

    and, yes, this becomes likely infeasiable if the domainpart is an IP address

  165. flow

    but if you example.org announce muc.foo.org, then I'd filter it

  166. jonas’

    right, so DNS based

  167. jonas’

    it should be zone based though, and that’s tricky to do

  168. jonas’

    and many not even be generally correct.

  169. jonas’

    *sigh*

  170. Kev has left

    zone based?

  173. intosi has joined

  174. intosi has joined

  175. jonas’

    you need to take into account authority breaks in DNS, i.e. delegations

  176. flow

    jonas’, I'm curious, has this turned out to be a practical problem? Did someone complain?

  177. jonas’

    co.uk. should not be allowed to advertise stuff for fnord.co.uk ;-)

  178. jonas’

    no, nobody complained yet, but I’d like to play it safe with resources like IRC gateways

  179. jonas’

    which are easy to abuse

  180. jonas’

    or may be easy to abuse

  181. jonas’

    or something

  182. jonas’

    pep. pre-emptively complained when I threw the idea of listing IRC gateways around in some MUC

  183. flow

    jonas’, I'm not sure about this, isn't the parent domain is always able to redirect your users?

  184. winfried has joined

  185. jonas’

    flow, with an attack on DNS, yes.

  186. jonas’

    with an attack on DNS, you can do a lot of things

  187. flow

    jonas’, no

  188. flow

    just because it's your parent domain

  189. flow

    you have to trust it anyways

  190. jonas’

    I’d count "replace NS records with something I don’t intend them to be" as an attack :)

  191. jonas’

    even if they have the power to do so by design

  192. flow

    so you trust them to not do that, but you don't trust them to announce your services?

  193. flow

    bbl, SIGFOOD

  194. jonas’

    I think my preferred way would be to require the child-components disco#items to also include the parent-service, but that’s probably infeasible.

  214. Steve Kille has joined

  215. pep.

    flow, I want _some_ s2s users to be able to use it, so mod_firewall, plus additional tricks for disco#items maybe

  216. flow

    pep., allright, so whiteliste the entities that are allowed to use it. Doesn't that solve the problem?

  217. pep.

    probably, I just need to do it. I didn't need to until now

  218. flow

    (And I know that whitelisting can be tricky, depending on the used software. But hiding isn't a solution either)

  219. flow

    pep., I'd argue that you needed to do it before too

  220. Valerian has left

  221. Valerian has joined

  222. pep.

    Well I've been somewhat monitoring access to that and it's not being abused

  223. pep.

    But yeah I agree

  224. flow

    pep., that could change now, especially since you mentioned publicly that you run an open gateway :-P

  225. flow

    I think it is askin to running an open mail relay

  226. Valerian has left

  227. pep.

    I know

  228. flow

    *akin

  229. pep.

    I don't especially agree with the open mail relay thing

  230. pep.

    It's not like I was running an open j2j gateway

  231. pep.

    You could want to run an open IRC gateway, and some services do already

  232. pep.

    (And eventually I may open that gateway as well)

    ... maybe I did that myself tho, not sure

    Zash: I've had a look into how poezio processes such a response. I vaguely kept my sanity.

    Zash: I can't imagine. Should they?

  562. Zash

    Why not?

    Ge0rG, a contact for an admin when you’re facing an attack in one of your room seems useful

  564. Maranda

    They could..

  565. Maranda

    I honestly never put contact info on components

  566. Ge0rG

    jonas’: on the MUC domain? Sure, would be good

  567. Maranda

    (as long as you dont service the muc alone)

    (i suppose ppl will look at the upper level domain info)

  570. jonas’

    that’s not a good thing to do automatedly though

  571. pep.

    I have that server_contact loaded on every single vhost/component fwiw

    I have it integrated in mod_disco but not every component will use it so (also external components wont at all) it can be tricky for those anyways
