the dirty secret is that sound works just fine on linux. it's a just a lie told by the linux-using devs to get out of conference zooms with windows-using management.

No one is paying the log4j2 maintainers!? There is a whole page on the responsibilities of a @TheASF "Project Management Committee"... AND NO ONE IS PAYING THEM? apache.org/dev/pmc.html Open Source needs to grow the hell up. Yesterday.

Log4j maintainers have been working sleeplessly on mitigation measures; fixes, docs, CVE, replies to inquiries, etc. Yet nothing is stopping people to bash us, for work we aren't paid for, for a feature we all dislike yet needed to keep due to backward compatibility concerns. twitter.com/shipilev/statu…

Sending hugs to Log4J people. This must be an extraordinarily shitty Friday for them.

If you're running a server with #Log4J, please add the following JVM argument to your command line immediately to protect against a 0-day exploit. -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true lnkd.in/gHmEFJ9w #Java #Security #Infosec

At coffee shop this morning: Girl behind counter: (not joking) “has anyone told you that you look like Tony Hawk?” Me: yes, so much that I sometimes write about it. Her: haha, here’s your coffee Other girl by exit: (leans toward me as I walk out): “you really do look like him”

someone once broke up with me because they “had a big crush on this random person at a party” and it made them realize they weren’t that attracted to me. I moved on and got married and years later found out that I married THE RANDOM PERSON AT THE PARTY!!!!! Lol suck it

This log4j exploit = remote code execution in basically everything Arbitrary code execution in iCloud, Twitter, Steam, CloudFlare, Amazon, Tesla, Baidu, Tencent This may well be devastating 0day RCE exploit that has ever been dropped in all of history. github.com/YfryTchsGD/Log…

"Best practices" are only the "best" because nobody's found anything better yet. (Also, they can be subjective, so calling them "best" can sometimes be a misnomer).

This is an amazing work by @volker_simonis to patch the critical #log4j bug for running JVM instances. If you have services that use Log4J and you can not update them today you should execute this program / agent to patch your running #Java JVM instances on the fly 👍👍👍

Post details

I've written a simple (i.e. standalone, no dependencies) Java program which patches JndiLookup.lookup() to return a fixed string and not parse its arguments. This should fix CVE-2021-44228 (i.e. RCE in Log4j) without restarting your JVM process. #Log4J github.com/simonis/Log4jP…

Howto detect if affected: Start netcat parallel to your app: "nc -lp 1234", then type the following into app where it gets logged (e.g. the query string of your search): "${jndi:ldap://127.0.0.1:1234/abc}" If you then see garbage/emojis in the netcat console your're vulnerable!

I once went on a first date with this guy who, at the end of the date, turned to me and said, “This was fun! I’ll reach out regarding next steps,” immediately apologized for using work language, and ran away embarrassed. I wonder what happened to him, OH RIGHT WE LIVE TOGETHER.

The annoying thing about working on private codebases is often I write code I'm really pleased with and I'd absolutely love to share it! But there's so much business logic baked in that either doesn't make sense or I can't show without upsetting customers 😢

I just knocked up a quick JavaAgent that works around the log4j zero day: github.com/stuartwdouglas…. It basically just nulls out the JndiLookup class in log4j.

If you can get a certificate in it, it’s not Agile. You can’t certify "do what works & if it doesn’t work, fix it." You can’t certify "talk to each other." You can’t certify "build small." You can’t certify "treat people with respect." You can’t certify "pay attention & learn."

I see folks making fun of the CVE issued for the default password on Raspberry Pi I personally want to see CVEs for EVERY _static_ default credential. I want it to show up in searches for the vendor name or product, CVE counts for a vendor, and in risk ratings for the product.

I deleted an incorrect tweet about mitigations. Here's the correction: PoC is here: github.com/tangxiaofeng7/… (and it's legit, I've seen verification). Mitigation: update to log4j 2.10 and set the env var LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS=true; OR upgrade to 2.15rc1 or above.
