Cryptographic Best Practices

Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

Fetches the latest Linux Widevine binary so that it can be used by Vivaldi.

With the release of Vivaldi 2.2, this page is now obsolete and unmaintained. Widevine is fetched automatically on post install of our official packages. The information below and the script are left for historical reasons but will not be updated.

If you are using something newer than Vivaldi 2.2, you should not be using this script as there is simply no need. Any need you think you have for it would be a bug IMHO and thus should be logged in a bug report. Before you do so however, you should also checkout the Vivaldi help page on Widevine, on Linux


Summary

A bunch of people asked how they could use this script with pure Chromium on Ubuntu. The following is a quick guide. Though I still suggest you at least try Vivaldi. Who knows, you might like it. Worried about proprietary componants? Remember that libwidevinecdm.so is a b

FFMpeg's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-accelerated acceleration for both NVIDIA NVENC's and Intel's VAAPI-based hardware encoders in both ffmpeg and libav.

FFmpeg and libav's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-based acceleration, NVIDIA's NVENC and Intel's VAAPI-based encoder.

Hello guys,

Continuing from this guide to building ffmpeg and libav with NVENC and VAAPI enabled, this snippet will cover advanced options that you can use with ffmpeg and libav on both NVENC and VAAPI hardware-based encoders.

For ffmpeg:

This gist will show you how to launch multiple ffmpeg instances with xargs, very useful for NVIDIA NVENC based encoding where standard GPUs limit the maximum simultaneous encode sessions to two.

Spawning multiple ffmpeg processes with xargs:

On standard NVIDIA GPUs (Not the Quadros and Tesla lines), NVENC encodes are limited to two simultaneous sessions. The sample below illustrates how to pass a list of AVI files to ffmpeg and encode them to HEVC on two encode sessions:

$ find Videos/ -type f -name \*.avi -print | sed 's/.avi$//' |\
  xargs -n 1 -I@ -P 2 ffmpeg -i "@.avi" -c:a aac -c:v hevc_nvenc "@.mp4"

This will find all files with the ending .avi in the directory Videos/ and transcode them into HEVC/H265+AAC files with the ending .mp4. The noteworthy part here is the -P 2 to xargs, which starts up to two processes in parallel.

Installing a custom SSL cert on a Unifi Controller

##Installing a custom SSL cert on Unifi Controller

  • Certificate key (*.key)
  • Intermediate certificate from CA (*.crt, *.pem)
  • Permissions to restart the unifi service
  • Debian or Ubuntu Unifi Controller installation

WannaCry|WannaDecrypt0r NSA-Cyberweapon-Powered Ransomware Worm

  • Virus Name: WannaCrypt, WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, WCRY
  • Vector: All Windows versions before Windows 10 are vulnerable if not patched for MS-17-010. It uses EternalBlue MS17-010 to propagate.
  • Ransom: between $300 to $600. There is code to 'rm' (delete) files in the virus. Seems to reset if the virus crashes.
  • Backdooring: The worm loops through every RDP session on a system to run the ransomware as that user. It also installs the DOUBLEPULSAR backdoor. It corrupts shadow volumes to make recovery harder. (source: malwarebytes)
  • Kill switch: If the website www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com is up the virus exits instead of infecting the host. (source: malwarebytes). This domain has been sinkholed, stopping the spread of the worm. Will not work if proxied (source).

update: A minor variant of the viru
