since everyone is talking about log4j/supply chains an experiment years ago i calculated 1-bit offset utf8 strings of the top few hundred npm packages and registered packages under them they received thousands of hits per week from machines trying to download and execute them

developer pro tip: the best way to prevent log4j from executing shell commands or querying LDAP is to not allow any user input of any kind

Maintainable open source is not an easily solved problem. And yet most of our tech stacks would shut down if open source code was all of a sudden unavailable.

As someone who does this quite often, they are not ignoring you. They are overwhelmed. They are forgetful. They are trying to figure out what it means to care for themselves and actually do it. They do not hate you. They, in fact, probably miss you.

The Apache Log4j project is maintained by three people who are volunteering their spare time. Please don't be a jerk to them because multi-billion dollar companies are using their tool without even bothering to throw $1,000 their way.

Post details

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…

It took me about 5 minutes to start locally running an open source Ruby project despite the fact that I never touched Ruby on Rails in the past & project itself didn’t have related docs. Now that’s what I call strong external community resources that are easy to find 👏

This is a “vaccination” for the log4j vulnerability Given a vulnerable piece of software, it exploits the log4j vulnerability, just to install a new piece of code that prevents exploiting it in the future Ethical? github.com/Cybereason/Log…

The market rate of a developer who can maintain a large open source project is at least $300k/yr. (Conservatively, check levels.fyi.) The most I've seen someone rack up on GitHub Sponsors and Patreon is like $1,000/month. You see the problem?

This is the maintainer who fixed the vulnerability that's causing millions(++?) of dollars of damage. "I work on Log4j in my spare time" "always dreamed of working on open source full time" "3 sponsors are funding @rgoers's work: Michael, Glenn, Matt" People, what are we doing.

orgs: hire an oss strategy person to do this for your entire product portfolio. add in “what does the project need” to the “how is this being funded?” question eng: do this for your tech stack

fun exercise for folks with production code in github: go to the Insights tab in your repo and navigate to the Dependencies page. pick a package that looks interesting and find out how it's funded.

This may seem like overkill, but it's really an investment in your company's stability. #OpenSource may reduce many costs of development, but it's not entirely free. Don't find out that the library that's integral to your infrastructure is un(der)-funded when it's too late.

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

"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…
