I mean, if we want to get pedantic, nothing it's stopping a virus from bringing it's own drivers or a whole ass windows vm to pass the usb over ( i rememver the was something of the sort for windows using a windows xp machine for a botnet) It's as always just a matter of how willing are you.

One liner for fixing driver issue, sounds great

Still faster than snaps /s

[-] [email protected] 55 points 3 weeks ago

I had a problem and then I tried to solve it by installing a snap package. Now I have two problems.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

I was doing a group project in college where we had a Linux server running some of our custom software. I asked a group mate who worked in IT to self-sign some certs so we could get https up and running for our next sprint demo.

He installed a fucking snap package to do it via certbot. On fucking RHEL. And that server was not hosting an internet-accessible service. And he didn’t know why I lost my mind.

Basically a "lemme get the flame thrower real quick so i can hammer that nail in for ya"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Not sure why you were enabling HTTPS for a project that was not hosting an internet-accessible service, really. By which I assume you mean the service doesn't have a publicly accessible web based UI or API component. What were you trying to access and how? The only scenario I could think of for this would be that your custom software relies on HTTPS for secure communication within its own internal network (such as on a VPN) to send sensitive data back and forth between services. In which case that feels like overkill for a college course, since you shouldn't have any genuinely sensitive data that you need to secure if it's just for testing and demonstration.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It was a project requirement, PHI was processed by it, so yes, it needed a secure connection. I now realize I should have used mutual auth, but hey, I only learned about that after that project

We never sent actual data to it (the actually sensitive data used for training never left a secure VM), but the point of the course was to act like we were. Plus, setting up an nginx reverse proxy is simple, setting it up and getting certs from some ssl commands is a 10 minute task that appeases the project manager/professor with minimal effort.

If any of you pure Linux guys ever get a virus that installs windows, that's going to be the funniest shit ever.

That sort of reminds me of the FBI patching compromised systems after they take over a botnet.

My infosec skills are far too sophisticated for infiltration (small piece of black tape)

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

Work laptop, it stays closed, and I use my two screens connected to it. After Covid, everyone wanted video calls. Nope, I'm not getting the laptop out from the back of the desk for you.

Anyone hacking the webcam can get a view of the base of the laptop.

[-] Lucidlethargy 7 points 3 weeks ago

You can get a whole sheet of tiny circle stickers for like, a dollar. I've used them for a decade or more now!

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but the tape also covers the shitty microphone next to the camera.

Beat that, circlecuck!!

2K webcam resolutions

we only do 360p here, sir!

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

I don't even have a webcam on my desktop. My Thinkpad has a sliding cover on its webcam that stays closed when I'm not using it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

The internal microphone is on the same board as the webcam in laptops.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

Get a laptip with a real hardware switch for the cam and the mic. Best peace of mind knowing that they're really off. Neither tape, nor the non-electrical built-in plastic sliders do that.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

You still have to trust the manufacturer that it really turns the webcam off, not just the webcam light.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It probably can be inspected

My WebCam has such low resolution I could argue that that’s anybody in the picture. Go ahead.

I would also have accepted close encounters or there are four lights.

I would say "enjoy flashing everyone"... but that could be awkward, so make sure to flash responsibly:-D

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I simply don't own a webcam. Last time I actually had a use for one was sometime around 2003. That said, I'm still fucked because I made the mistake of buying a phone that uses the camera as the light sensor.

What about Intel ME, Microsoft Pluton, the one for AMD. The secret chips that have direct access to your hardware. Basically a blackbox. Same with cellphones. SoC.

I used to have to use a USB adapter on my laptop because the built in one was turned off by default and had a Windows only software switch to enable it.

wait are there still webcams that don't work? I've never used them apart from whatever was recommended for 3d printer monitoring and they worked fine.
