I reported an insecure DKIM key to Deutsche Telekom / T-Systems.

[buherator@infosec.place]

@badkeys My educated guess is they couldn't fit larger keys into their DNS records...

[wall_e@ioc.exchange]

@badkeys bruh

@buherator @badkeys

I installed a MariaDB cluster backed set of PowerDNS servers for that exact reason! There were a couple of other reasons but that was what finally made me roll up my sleeves.

[millie@infosec.exchange]

@dragonfrog @badkeys Most people might not be fluent in base64-encoded ASN.1, but a trained eye can see that it's the same key.

Hint: A sufficiently strong RSA key cannot possibly be that short, and you know it's a DER-encoded pubkey because it starts with "ME" and ends with "AQAB" (0x10001, common RSA public exponent)

[mcr314@todon.nl]

@buherator @badkeys No, they thought they were generating an ECDSA key, for which a 256 or 384 bit would be strong. But, they didn't provide the right arguments, and wound up with RSA. I think the OP posted the private key that they were able to crack trivially.

[dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org]

@millie @badkeys
Oh gosh, so they've removed the private key, but it's still the public key that goes with a private key that they already published.

A sound as if a thousand faces rested in a thousand palms, and a thousand IT people sighed heavily...

[millie@infosec.exchange]

@dragonfrog @badkeys No, the private key was never published by t-systems, but it's so weak that it's very easy to crack. OP cracked and published the private key.

[buherator@infosec.place]

@mcr314 @badkeys Source? I doubt someone who makes a mistake like this knows what ECDSA is.

[dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org]

@millie @badkeys thank you, I get it now. Iguess I'm having a slow day!

send an email coming from them.

@kkarhan @momo @badkeys @BNetzA @EUCommission Had the same issue just recently. I wonder how this can even be legal.

I wanted to ask a lawyer about this, but never came around doing so.

[q@glauca.space]

@16af93 @badkeys for once, its not the Germans

[yacc143@mastodon.social]

@badkeys
That was crackable with private entity resources decades ago.

That's not even funny.

[sys64738@www.librepunk.club]

@q @16af93 @badkeys iirc 256-bit rsa is satcomms 'standards'

[keksdosenmann@mastodon.social]

@badkeys Telekom. Die machen das.

[yacc143@mastodon.social]

@Bebef
It's probably not, some countries have really tough laws that they apply to email delivery and privacy that makes even spam filtering a legally dicey proposition

But let me put it like this, who wants to sue a company that has a legal budget bigger than the whole government budget of some of the poorer EU MS?

And in the end as long as the users won't start moving their fat posteriors away from the big tech monopolies, ...

The really odd thing is it's not the oldies that nowadays are a problem, it's the youngsters, we literally had a complaint today about the PIM/office suite we use, our CEO nicely played that one. He's open to all proposals for alternatives from a company headquartered in the EEA for legal reasons.

Interestingly the C level has no problem IMAP, and accessing the calendar over CalDAV. But the youngsters have never heard of these @kkarhan @momo @badkeys @BNetzA @EUCommission

[yacc143@mastodon.social]

things. And are shocked that email can be provided by something else then Google, outlook or Apple. On which of these is our email hosted I was asked. I had to explain very slowly that we are on the small option "other".
