Open Source Security

Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works. There"s a lot of good work happening that doesn"t get attention because there"s no marketing department behind it, they don"t have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Let"s focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to

Episode 429 - The autonomy of open source developers

Open Source Security ·

2024/05/20

Josh and Kurt talk about open source and autonomy. This is even related to some recent return to office news. The conversation weaves between a few threads, but fundamentally there's some questions about why do people do what they do, especially in the world of open source. This also is a problem we see in security, security people love to tell developers what to do. Developers don't like being told what to do.

2024/05/13

Josh and Kurt talk about a new to sign artifacts on GitHub. It's in beta, it's not going to be easy to use, it will have bugs. But that's all OK. This is how we start. We need infrastructure like this to enable easier to use features in the future. Someday, everything will be signed by default. Show Notes GitHub artifact attestation

Episode 427 - Will run0 replace sudo?

Open Source Security ·

2024/05/06

Josh and Kurt talk about a sudo replacement going into systemd called run0. It sounds like it'll get a lot right, but systemd is a pretty big attack surface and not everyone is a fan. We shall have to see if this ends up replacing sudo. Show Notes Conan O'Brien on Hot Ones Lennart's Mastodon thread xkcd automation

Episode 426 - Automatically exploiting CVEs with AI

Open Source Security ·

2024/04/29

Josh and Kurt talk about a paper describing using a LLM to automatically create exploits for CVEs. The idea is probably already happening in many spaces such as pen testing and intelligence services. We can't keep up with the number of vulnerabilities we have, there's no way we can possibly keep up with a glut of LLM generated vulnerabilities. We really need to rethink how we handle vulnerabilities. Show Notes OpenAI's GPT-4 can exploit real vulnerabilities by reading security advisories paper: LLM

Episode 425 - Video game cheaters, also pretendo

Open Source Security ·

2024/04/22

Josh and Kurt talk about a database of game cheaters. Cheating in games has many similarities to security problems. Anti cheat rootkits are also terrible. The clever thing however is using statistics to identify cheaters. Statistics don't lie. Also, we discuss the Pretendo project sitting on a vulnerability for a year, is this ethical?

Episode 424 - The Notepad++ Parasite Website

Open Source Security ·

2024/04/15

Josh and Kurt talk about a Notepad++ fake website. It's possibly not illegal, but it's certainly ethically wrong. We also end up discussing why it seems like all these weird and wild things keep happening. It's probably due to the massive size of open source (and everything) now. Things have gotten gigantic and we didn't really notice. Show Notes Help us to take down the parasite website Open Source is bigger than you can imagine Toronto Pearson International Airport heist

Open Source Security ·

2024/04/08

Josh and Kurt talk about a new FCC program to provide a cybersecurity certification mark. Similar to other consumer safety marks such as UL or CE. We also tie this conversation into GrapheneOS, and what trying to claim a consumer device is secure really means. Some of our compute devices have an infinite number of possible states. It's a really weird and hard problem. Show Notes GrapheneOS FCC approves cybersecurity label for consumer devices Cyber Trust Mark Logo

XZ Bonus Spectacular Episode

Open Source Security ·

2024/04/01

Josh and Kurt talk about the recent events around XZ. It's only been a few days, and it's amazing what we already know. We explain a lot of the basics we currently know with the attitude much of these details will change quickly over the coming week. We can't fix this problem as it stands, we don't know where to start yet. But that's not a reason to lose hope. We can fix this if we want to, but it won't be flashy, it'll be hard work.

Episode 422 - Do you have a security.txt file?

Open Source Security ·

2024/04/01

Josh and Kurt talk about the security.txt file. It's not new, but it's not something we've discussed before. It's a great idea, an easy format, and well defined. It's not high on many of our todo lists, but it's something worth doing. Show Notes RFC 9116

Episode 421 - CISA's new SSDF attestation form

Open Source Security ·

2024/03/25

Josh and Kurt talk about the new SSDF attestation form from CISA. The current form isn't very complicated, and the SSDF has a lot of room for interpretation. But this is the start of something big. It's going to take a long time to see big changes in supply chain security, but we're confident they will come.

Open Source Security ·

2024/03/18

Josh and Kurt talk about what's going on at the National Vulnerability Database. NVD suddenly stopped enriching vulnerabilities, and it's sent shock-waves through the vulnerability management space. While there are many unknowns right now, the one thing we can count on is things won't go back to the way they were.

2024/03/11

Josh and Kurt talk about an attack against GitHub where attackers are creating malicious repositories then artificially inflating the number of stars and forks. This is really a discussion about how can we try to find signal in all the noise of a massive ecosystem like GitHub.

Josh and Kurt talk about recent stories about data breaches, flipper zero banning, and realistic security. We have a lot of weird challenges in the world of security, but hard problems aren't impossible problems. Sometimes we forget that. Show Notes Mon Dieu!
