NTsecAPI - Work in progress (fwd)
by Jim Choate 04 Sep '01

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 03:02:04 +0200 From: Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl(a)samba-tng.org> To: tng-technical(a)samba-tng.org, samba-technical(a)samba.org, ntsecapi-dev(a)lists.dcerpc.net Cc: samba-ntdom(a)samba.org, coderpunks(a)toad.com, cifs(a)discuss.microsoft.com Subject: NTsecAPI - Work in progress i'm starting an nt security api. it will basically be a generic wrapper around and merge of: cli_pipe_ntlmssp.c, srv_pipe_ntlmssp.c, cli_pipe_netsec.c, srv_pipe_netsec.c, and supporting code. [see http://www.samba-tng.org, cvs instructions, the above files are in source/rpc_client and source/rpc_server.] the idea is, however, to provide a client/server framework for general user authentication, signing and sealing. once this framework is written, it will be a heck of a lot simpler to add new user auth / dce/rpc crypto methods: i will investigate, for example, porting the kerberos5 auth used in dce 1.22 to the api, which will allow freedce to do kerberos5 authentication (something it can't do at the moment because noone's added it) the api is to be written as a stand-alone library into which it will need to even be passed memory allocation and debug handling functions: it will therefore have practical applications *outside* of samba, dce/rpc etc. etc., be threadsafe etc. etc. i'm currently munging the ntlmssp code as the first working example. if anyone is interested in helping, please subscribe to ntsecapi-dev on http://lists.dcerpc.net and we'll continue the discussions there. luke

Palmsource 2001: At door: $1395, early bird $995 (add $745 for tutorials). Comdex fall 2001: As high as $2895. if you get a 'flex pass'. Most attendees will probably be paying from $0 (exhibits only, online reg) to $1895 (2 conferences). RSA 2002: At-door full-conference registration is $1795, not including $495 for the tutorials. (that's the worst case - it's half that before Dec 4, and there are a number of lower-cost options). Peter

Nice thought, but I'll bet it wouldn't happen in a million years. And speaking generally on the subject of various people "concealing actions", could I just say that I think any company working in this sector would be well-advised to take good, hard second look at their internal security practices. "Insider threat mitigation" should be every bit as much of a concern to you as it is to the DoD. Maybe more so. Their unholy quartet of "maliciousness, disdain for security procedures, carelessness, and ignorance" applies to your insiders too. It wouldn't hurt anything to run a tighter ship, either: what are you doing to get to know who you're really working with? What are you doing to ensure you aren't trusting your trade secrets to shitheels who'll sell out crucial elements of your design to the first person who waves a few dollar bills under their nose? Not making any claims about who's doing the selling, who's doing the buying or why. But something seriously reeks in Denmark and as a community you really need to think about it a little harder. ~Faustine.

Remailers are trickier than other P2P applications because of the problem of sending the mail out. If one of the P2P users gets "volunteered" to be the outgoing portal for some harrasing mail, he won't be running the client for long. However if the recipients are restricted to users of the P2P network then this is not a problem. An anonymous email application just for P2P users would be interesting. It could be part of a continuum of applications like anonymous chat with varying degrees of real-time delivery. KNet, knet.sourceforge.net, is a new project on P2P anonymous chat. If that works, then email could be done by adding some kind of queueing feature which would hold messages for delivery until the recipient connects to the P2P network. There wouldn't be many problems with complaints about abuse because everyone would be volunteering to receive anonymous mail/chat by virtue of using the network. Probably the biggest complaint people would have is untraceable spam. It's already a nuisance with other chat systems. If the anonymous comm system has per-user traffic limits or some other way of handling spam then it could be a good basis for no holds barred discussions and data exchange.

Please would every 100th person forward this to the Whitehouse address: president(a)whitehouse.gov <mailto:president@whitehouse.gov PETITION: Zimbabwe, "another jewel of Africa" is dying.

Actual cases in which the bare-assed anti-paramilitary training laws are applied are in short supply. Generally they are associated with other infractions.
