    Thanks. If we need to move to monthly, longer meetings so be it. Its just frustrating to set time aside every week and most of the time we don't have attendance

  462. dwd

    Ooops. I am here, too, just distracted by Something Interesting I FOund On The Internet.

    Fiscal sponsorship update.. CoC..

  468. dwd

    * Financial Host stuff: I think we're waiting on Peter, though Sam has been pushing forward with draft policies etc.

  469. MattJ

    There is a pending PR for review

  470. dwd

    * CoC: I'm just coming to the end of my notice period, which has been pretty disruptive (and the job hunting bit beofrehand), so will get back onto this and the associated Provacy Policy I think we should have.

  471. MattJ

    I'd also like to work out what the next steps are on the CoC stuff

  472. MattJ

    :)

  473. MattJ

    Thanks!

  474. dwd

    On a personal note, I will be changing employer at the end of the month. As part of this change, I'm dropping to 4 days a week, and I'm aiming to generally use that "extra" day for XSF and OSS stuff.

  475. MattJ

    Congratulations :)

  477. Kev has left

  478. arc

    Ok, aob?

  480. dwd

    No, though I do have some thoughts/research on CoC I'd like to discuss.

  481. MattJ

    I think that was everything

  482. ti_gj06 has joined

  483. arc

    Go ahead

  484. dwd

    Primarily, we previously talked about a CoC based aorund positive behaviour we wanted to see. However, the research I've managed to do so far actually recommends against this.

  485. dwd

    This is somewhat to my surprise, to be honest.

  486. Andrzej has left

  487. arc

    Why is that?

  488. dwd

    The argument is that it is easier for a bad actor to claim their behaviour is, for exampe, respectful ("But they're just deliberately taking it badly") than to argue it is not, for example, an ad-hominem attack.

  489. Kev has left

  490. Kev has joined

  491. arc

    I totally get that. But do we really want to be in a position to parent bad actors?

  492. dwd

    No.

  493. pjn has left

  494. dwd

    I'm merely saying that Codes of Conduct seem a lot more complicated than i'd hoped, and opnions seem generally divided on how to write them.

  495. arc

    100%

  496. BASSGOD has left

  497. dwd

    Anyway, it seems that any code of conduct we put in place is very likely to upset a bunch of people, and not only the people whose behaviour would be affected by a CoC.

  498. MattJ

    I've seen advocates of both styles. I can't claim to know the best option - I would personally prefer a positive-leading one, but I understand the concerns with that. My concern with a list of bad behaviours is that there is a potentially infinite list of such behaviours.

  499. dwd

    That's not to say we shouldn't put in place a CoC, but we need to manage the entire process carefully.

    https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ (originally posted by Sam) seemed good to me at a first glance, it struck me as a decent balance of both

  503. dwd

    Yes, but it's been a focus of political ire as well. Broadly adopted as-is by the Linux kernel community, and that met with quite some resistance.

  504. dwd

    There's also the Debian one, which seems to have been mostly controversy-free, but might not have been as effective as people would have liked.

  505. BASSGOD has joined

  506. MattJ

    The Debian one controversy-free? :)

  507. Steve Kille has left

  508. dwd

    Anyway, I'm broadly leaning toward something like the FLOSSUK one - https://www.flossuk.org/about/code-of-conduct/- that seems to state aims in terms of positive behaviours, and then gives a non-exhuatsive list of bad behaviour.

    so I accidentally discovered a DNS-only DOS against ejabberd, but also, my guess is, most other XMPP servers

  593. Yagiza has joined

  594. moparisthebest

    so here's the question, on outgoing S2S, if you don't *receive* anything over the connection, how can you be sure you are connected to what you should be ?

  595. xutaxkamay has left

  596. xutaxkamay has joined

  597. moparisthebest

    do you... try to receive data on the connection and if you receive anything at all, abort it and move onto the next SRV record ? or what ?

  598. moparisthebest

    how do you avoid the case where someone who only controls your DNS, or someone who only controls a route between you and 1 of the SRV records, can entirely block your ability to connect to the remote domain ?

  599. MattJ

    Mmm, that's not really preventable, is it? :)

  600. MattJ

    If they control it they can drop DNS/SYN

  601. moparisthebest

    yea possibly DNS isn't able to be worked around, what about the second case though ?

  602. moparisthebest

    you have 2 SRV targets in different locations, an attacker who controls only the route to the lowest priority one shouldn't be able to prevent you from falling back to the second, right ?

    right now, with ejabberd, and I suspect most other servers, if you redirect the first to an HTTPS server for instance, the second is never attempted

  610. moparisthebest

    (I accidentally broke all incoming federation from ejabberd servers to mine this way :))

    c2s doesn't suffer from this problem because it's bi-directional

  615. govanify has left

  616. govanify has joined

  617. Kev

    But C2S does suffer the same problem.

  618. Kev

    If you can drop someone’s connections, you can drop someone’s connections.

  619. BASSGOD has joined

  620. Kev

    Or I’ve not understood properly.

  621. moparisthebest

    dropping is easy, you can fallback to the next SRV record

  622. Kev

    When, though?

  623. moparisthebest

    and if you've validated the TLS properly, and get valid XMPP, you are connected to a c2s port

  624. Kev

    If you connect and authenticate to the server ok, and then it drops, you shouldn’t drop back to the other SRV should yoU?

  625. moparisthebest

    how do you determine if you've connected to a valid s2s port though

  626. Kev

    It doesn’t matter, does it?

  627. Kev

    If your transit is malicious, it will allow enough through to cause you to authenticate, and then terminate.

  628. Kev

    (Which is much easier with C2S than S2S, because of rountrip counting)

  629. Kev

    And because you had a live connection, you won’t fallback.

  630. Kev

    So even “If I didn’t manage to authenticate, fallback” doesn’t save you there.

  631. moparisthebest

    what's the point of SRV records if having the first one misbehave blocks you from trying the rest ?

  632. Kev

    What does ‘misbehave’ mean though?

  633. govanify has left

  634. govanify has joined

  635. moparisthebest

    so maybe it needs some consideration in c2s too "if the connection is "too flakey" (todo: define "too flakey") fallback"

  636. moparisthebest

    misbehave as in anything someone not in control of the TLS certificate can do

  637. Kev

    Flakiness protection is horrible, but it’s what you’d need here, yes.

  638. Kev

    (And the same for S2S)

  640. arc has joined

  641. govanify has left

  642. govanify has joined

  643. Kev

    We actually do have protection against this sort of thing for our X2X support, but less so for S2S.

  644. Kev

    (Because, as you noted, bidirectional)

  645. moparisthebest

    so what's a start for defense against this in S2S? only what I mentioned? > try to receive data on the connection and if you receive anything at all, abort it and move onto the next SRV record ?

  646. Kev

    afk sorry

  647. moparisthebest

    I guess that brings back my question from the other day, do any XMPP servers in the wild ever send anything over normal (non-bidi) incoming S2S connections ?

    Matt - I saw you removed dwd from Prosody, was that just getting rid of dialback stuff, or you found security issues, or …?

  671. Kev

    (Or did I misread the release notes)

  672. Zash

    Only the part that's mostly equivalent to SASL EXTERNAL

  673. Kev

    Hmm. Is it?

  674. dwd

    I kept calling it LUA.

  675. Zash

    Kev: It had a security issue, but we opted to remove it. We don't have any test coverage and poor confidence in it working correctly.

  676. moparisthebest

    MattJ, I think they only send pre-TLS stuff, after TLS is started it seems even stream errors are sent over the other connection ?

  677. Kev

    Stream errors always have to be sent over the stream they relate to.

  678. Zash

    And by "equivalent to SASL EXTERNAL" I mean that it could optionally check your dialback request against the cert and short-circuit it.

  679. govanify has left

  680. govanify has joined

  681. Zash

    It was disabled by default and I don't think I ever saw it used.

  682. moparisthebest

    I'll have to test again, I swear I saw them being sent over the other one...

  683. Zash

    Not sure if it was even documented.

  684. Kev

    I’m not going to say you didn’t see it - but you shouldn’t have :)

  685. Zash

    moparisthebest, dialback stuff too maybe, in addition to the stuff MattJ listed

  686. moparisthebest

    if there doesn't exist a way to *request* something back on the same connection (that won't terminate it, like a stream error), maybe that's the solution

  687. Kev

    198 can request traffic.

  688. moparisthebest

    a simple ping, but on this s2s connection

  689. MattJ

    moparisthebest: a solution, but I'm not sure I understand the problem

  690. chronosx88 has left

  691. chronosx88 has joined

  692. Kev

    I don’t think it’s a solution to the proposed problem, if we’re still on “transit terminates your connection as a DOS"

  693. moparisthebest

    the problem is, once an S2S connection is established, and TLS verified, how do you detect if you are actually connected to an XMPP server, or something else (like HTTPS)

  694. moparisthebest

    because if you aren't you need to fallback to the next SRV target

  695. Kev

    If you’re not connected to S2S you don’t get stream headers?

  696. Kev

    And if by ‘established’ you mean you’ve already authenticated, doesn’t that mean you already know you’re S2S?

  697. moparisthebest

    the pre-TLS ones ?

  698. Kev

    The post-TLS ones.

  699. mukt2 has joined

  700. Kev

    But the pre-TLS ones if you’re doing starttls mean you’re talking to XMPP too.

  701. BASSGOD has left

  702. APach has joined

  703. moparisthebest

    not necessarily

  704. moparisthebest

    an evil MITM in front of that target could fake XMPP before TLS, then just redirect traffic from an HTTPS server with the proper certificate

  705. Kev

    That would be why you bin everything once you start TLS.

  706. chronosx88 has left

  707. chronosx88 has joined

  708. Kev

    (Well, ‘that’ - that you can’t trust pre-TLS in general)

  709. moparisthebest

    it does protect against accidental misconfiguration, just not active attacks

  710. moparisthebest

    which is why I suspect this bug has lasted so long in SRV implementations, it's just easier to spot with direct TLS

  711. MattJ

    It's not really a bug, it's just the internet

    if your SRV implementation connects, tries to send a stanza, gets an HTTP response and the connection is closed, and it doesn't fallback to the next SRV target, that's a bug
