We discuss a compelling case against Object-Oriented programming, is it truly all bad? Plus the cold chills the new Rails Doctrine gives us, the worrying long-term ramifications of progress over stability & convention vs configuration strategy.

Plus a chat about the market position of Jetbrains’ AppCode, blaming Java & unplanning your work and travels.

Linux Deepin – Features

Deepin Software Center, aka DSC, is one of the most talked about applications of Linux Deepin. Installing new applications is just a one-click operation. DSC supports parallel downloading, resuming downloads, update notification and cache cleaning. DSC also comes with colorful skins that can be swapped as your mood changes.

Deepin Desktop Environment

Similar to other projects Deepin went ahead and developed their own Shell which was simply called Deepin Desktop Environment. DDE is based on HTML5 and WebKit and uses a mix of QML and Go Language for different components. Core components of DDE include the desktop itself, the brand new launcher, bottom Dock, and the control center.

Release Cycle

Deepin – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The release cycle of deepin new versions has been changed from twice a year (in June and in December) to four times a year, including two new versions and two amended versions, for example, Deepin 2014.1 is the amended version of Deepin 2014.

Moving the Steam folder on Linux is causing users’ entire file systems to be deleted

Users of Steam on GNU/Linux are reporting that attempting to move the Steam folder – something that the GNU/Linux Steam installer doesn’t allow you to set at the time of installation – is leading to everything able to be deleted being deleted recursively from root. First entered as a bug report by the Github user keyvin, he explained how he tried to move the directory somewhere else and symlink it to the original location. In almost every use case under the Sun, this usually works without too many problems. Unfortunately for keyvin, however, a bug in Steam proceeded to delete everything it was able to on his computer – even the content on his 3TB external storage.

‘Goodbye Photoshop’ and ‘Hello Krita’ at University Paris 8

The ATI (Art and Technology of Image) department at University Paris 8 is switching to Krita this year. This department has the double aim to train students both to use graphic software (2D,3D,VFX and Compositing) and to code their own (Python, C#, C++). Until recently the classes used only Adobe Photoshop, but because of inadequate support from the company the department decided to
replace that.

CRUX REVIEW

About: Crux

CRUX is a lightweight Linux distribution for the x86-64 architecture targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is keep it simple, which is reflected in a straightforward tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. CRUX also has a ports system which makes it easy to install and upgrade applications.

When Linux Was Perfect Enough « FOSS Force

Today’s computer user just wants the computer to work, without problems, out of the box. They don’t want to have to figure out why Hulu or Netflix doesn’t work or why their fonts display properly in some applications and not in others.

Attacker claims to have broken in to Sony PSN again, Sony denies claim

Attackers have pasted 3000 password hashes and email addresses from an alleged list of 10 million
The official Playstation twitter account has denied the claim
Most of the password hashes appear to be the phpBB modified version of the openwall phpass hashing system, although some appear to be raw SHA1 hashes
This specific hashing algorithm suggests that the passwords are not from PSN, but from a forum database
However, since the Sony network might use a single-signon system, it may be possible that these passwords are the same as ones on the PSN network
Others have suggested it is just data from the previous attack last year

Blizzard admits Battlenet was compromised

This week the security team at Blizzard discovered unauthorized access to their internal servers
Information that is known to have been accessed includes:
- Email Address
- Answer to security question
- Cryptographic verifiers for account passwords
- Information relating to Mobile and Dial-In Authenticators
Blizzard does not believe at this time that any payment information (credit card numbers, billing addresses, real names) were taken
Battlenet uses the Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP), which is designed to allow remote users to authenticate in such a way that an network eavesdropper would not be able to retrieve the user’s password, or perform an offline dictionary attack against it
The need for such a protocol has long been obviated by SSL/TLS, which provider stronger protection against eavesdroppers, and also prevents attacks that involve altering the messages or spoofing the identity of the endpoint
This might have made sense when battlenet was originally introduced, SSL was too costly in terms of performance
Using a standard password cryptographic hashing algorithm, even just md5crypt would likely have been more secure (obviously bcrypt would have been better) as far as a compromised database. Maybe they will transition to something better now
One blogger who took the time to read the official SRP whitepaper written by the protocol author has gone so far as to request a retraction or clarification from Blizzard President Mike Morhaime.

“Blizzard is incorrect in claiming that SRP ‘is designed to make it extremely difficult to extract the actual password’ after the verifier database is stolen,”
Jeremy Spilman, the founder of a company called TapLink, wrote in a blog post titled “SRP Won’t Protect Blizzard’s Stolen Passwords,”
However: a Battle.net 2.0 emulator suggests that at least some of the hashed Blizzard’s passwords were generated with an SRP implementation that uses a 1024-bit modulus, rather than the 256-bit modulus described in the whitepaper. The tweak makes password cracking take about 64 times longer than it would using the lower-bit setting.
Why hacked Blizzard passwords aren’t as hard to crack as company says

Feedback:

Raymii created a Security Question Answers Generator Page!
- Violates rule #3 of a security question, the answers are not ‘memorable’
- Randomly generated answers are technically not stable or definitive either
- Relies on you remembering or storing the answer, in case you fail to remember or store your password… (the secret answers should not be stored, or stored as security as the original password itself, since they can be used in place of, or to reset the password)
- Cool site, decent random password generator ala XKCD
White Spiral from the chatroom wrote in with a number of suggestions for security questions
- Your questions are not very applicable to average users (none of my ex-girlfriends had bad breath)
- Questions related to sex pose numerous problems, including offending customers, or causing an unpleasant work environment for support employees who must ask these questions over the phone
- User generated questions require more database resources, but likely solve the problems of applicability
- Most users are likely worse at coming up with their own questions than the site will be
Jim emails in and suggests: why not use pictures of people you know! The first question might be their name and the second question may be the location.
- You can’t use this type of security question over the phone
- There may be privacy issues with storing pictures of 3rd parties on behalf of the customer (what if the database gets hacked, and now pictures of me uploaded by someone else are leaked)
- I may not be able to remember the location the picture was taken in a few years
Peter suggests committing a lot of crimes , and confessing one to each company that requires a security answer
Q: I did bad-do I have to give up my internet license?
Q: Configuration management automation?
- BSDMagazine’s January issue has a how-to for deploying Puppet on FreeBSD, the steps would be very similar on any linux distro

Question for a future episode:

Sr. SysAdmins and Techs, what would you like your Jr. co-workers to know or learning more about before joining the work force?
