From dan at danlynch.org Wed Jul 4 14:30:33 2012 From: dan at danlynch.org (Dan Lynch) Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:30:33 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Oggcamp 2012 Message-ID: Hi Folks, Just a quick reminder in case I haven't bugged you enough already. We're running OggCamp in Liverpool again this year. The biggest Free Software and Free Culture event in the UK. It's 2 days of talks, workshops, parties, hands on hacking sessions and more. It's all free (as in beer) and you can sign up via Eventbrite. More details at - http://oggcamp.org Mark the date in your diary: *August 18th & 19th 2012* @ *LJMU Art & Design Academy*, Liverpool City Centre. It runs 10am - 5pm each day with social events in the evenings. There's 5 tracks this time. One scheduled speaker track, 3 barcamp tracks and our Open Hardware Jam room where we'll be joined by some of the best hackers and projects around: Raspberry Pi, Fignition, Arduino, ColorHug and RepRap to mention just a few. Pitch a talk or session for the barcamp and share something you think others may find interesting. The schedule is finalised on the weekend by our wonderful Free (as in Freedom, it's GPL) CampFire Manager software. Attendees can vote via the web or text message and we put the most popular talks in the biggest rooms. It's not just about source code and circuit boards, though those are important. We also have art, music, animation, politics, economics, open data and almost anything you could want to know about. The overall rule is that knowledge should be shared, that way everyone can benefit. I think that's enough hard sell. If you have a project you'd like to exhibit, or just just have some pressing questions about the event, please drop me an email. We're kindly supported this time by the wonderful *Open Labs @ LJMU * and *Bytemark Web Hosting *. Hope to see many of you there, if you haven't signed up yet, do it now and please tell friends.

In the spirit of Open Source and borrowing ideas, I wondered if Chester LUG members would be interested in t-shirts for OggCamp or just generally. I have a good source for polo shirts...or any clothing in fact so could get good quality at a decent price. Let me know if you would be interested and if there are enough takers I'll follow it up.

The big difference between this and the common 'password safe' type system is that this tool never saves any passwords, so there's no central location to be attacked or lost. It works by creating repeatable passwords for each set of variables (your common password, pin and the name of the account). Take a look at the website for more information about the app and to download a copy - www.passeto.com. There's a desktop app (Linux version of course!) and an online version for when you're on the move. I'm going to add some more features in the near future and hopefully produce a mobile app. Please take a look and email directly if you have any questions, feedback or feature requests! It's not Open Source (yet) but is free for all.

Personally I use a pass phrase in my head (different ones for each service), combined with a static string that my Yubikey outputs. Two factor authentication with a physical aspect seems to be the best solution in my opinion. - MTC On 17 Jul 2012, at 13:49, Les Pritchard wrote: > Hi all, > > I mentioned at the last LUG meet that I've been working on a small > password manager app, well it's now available and it would be great if > some of you could take a look and try it out.

My problem was creating (or rather remembering) a new unique pass phrase for each site. If you use some form of pattern, once one is found an attacker would have more information to attempt access to others I own. Using a hardware device like the Yubikey is a nice idea and works well. Personally I wanted something that would work on any system without the need for carrying around additional hardware and would work on all smartphones. Obviously it's all about finding a solution that works for you. You seem to have it cracked with a nice solution. This app was something to solve my own need and hopefully it will help some others too. Thanks for looking Les On 18 July 2012 12:30, Michael Crilly wrote: > I'll give it a try at some point, Les.

But I'd be more likely to use it as an extension. The "online" version may be running locally (javascript?) but I think a user would be more confident he wasn't sharing his account password and key if it was an extension. Still the java app would be very worthwhile for sysadmins to share for their daily password needs. Cheers, Dave. On 18/07/12 12:51, Les Pritchard wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Thanks for your thoughts.

I can see your point about people not trusting a website. After some other feedback regarding assuring provenance to users I'm in the process of changing the online version to run under an SSL connection. The Javascript code (yes it is in that) was run through an optimiser / obfuscater just whilst I was playing with it. I'm now thinking about replacing it with the original code and commenting it up so anyone can read it and see that there's no communication of passwords going on. Even if I was evil and attempted to collect the passwords and pins I wouldn't know who they were for or their usernames so I wouldn't get too far making my millions there :-) I had thought about a browser extension a while back, but as I never use any promptly forgot about it! I have very limited knowledge on extensions, but I think I'm right in saying they are Javascript under the hood. So porting the code over should be fairly easy (the code for the webpage is far simpler than the app as it only has to do the basics). I suppose the next decision would be Firefox or Chrome! Chrome is the most popular browser after IE, so I think that would be the best target. Thanks again for the feedback Les On 18 July 2012 18:41, David Holden wrote: > Hi Les gave it a try - very nice.

The reason I created three simplified sizes of passwords (8,16 and 64) was because there are still a load of sites with what seem to be arbitrary password length limits. Now we could argue that if some of these sites are restricting password size to 8 characters they are doing some worrying things! But ignoring that issue, my aim was to offer some options for these bad sites. It's also the reason the passwords generated don't use special characters. In my original version I included them, but hit a few problems using the output with several sites. The other reason I have three simple levels of password length is to avoid people generating a password then forgetting what length they'd made it! By using the guides an average user should end up using the correct length (this was an Apple style "don't give people too much choice for their own good" design decision :-). Of course more tech savy users can use whatever length they want.

Message-ID: Stumbled across this company offering free mobile net access in return for you watching adverts. I don't think it would scale that well if you were a heavy user, but is a nice cheap option for the occasional dongle user. http://www.sambamobile.com/ I've not used them yet, so can't offer any endorsements!

I will be there for about 7.30, so see you later. On the t-shirts front, I've been chatting to the clothing company about the options. Now we could get basic t-shirts made up with prints, but we could also have nicer polo shirts with an embroidered logo. These would last longer and be more suitable for everyday wear, rather than a t-shirt for the event. My idea is to have the Tux logo on the front with "Chester LUG" underneath. If any of you remember seeing my company polo shirts or the Red Hat one, these would be the same make and similar logo size. I was thinking about having "Chester LUG" printed in large letters on the back, but if you want one to wear outside of the event you may not want this! For a polo shirt with embroidered logo on the front and optional text on the back it will be £15. You can choose from a variety of colours. If you are interested please let me know ASAP. I'd like to collect money tonight from anyone interested so we can get them done in time, or if you can't make it you can always Paypal it over. For those of you who are further away, I'm happy to discuss popping them in the post. Thanks Les -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you like, we can sit down and I can go over the basics of Virtualisation with you? ;-) If I go for the smallest 256MB VM, that costs about £8/month including VAT, but excluding traffic (£0.02/GB). So I can get £400 / £8 worth of VMS, give or take a bit for bandwidth.

Dan Lynch² will be talking about Django³: "In this talk I will present the Django Python web framework and introduce it with some practical examples. There are a ton of languages and frameworks out there but this is my favourite for web apps. I'll show you the reasons why. If you're already a Django expert you may know all this, but you can help me spread the word." We will meet at the Liverpool Social Centre⁴ at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. After the talk, we will venture to a local drinking establishment for beverages and further discussion. Liverpool Social Centre is next door to the News from Nowhere bookshop on Bold Street⁵. To access the centre, press the bell for the basement on the left of the door and someone will come up and let you in. Parking is usually available on Bold Street itself but failing that, there is a car park opposite the Zanzibar Club on Seel Street⁶. Dan is a LivLUG regular and volunteers to make meeting announcements, like myself. He has given talks at a number of other free-software related groups but never at LivLUG. Having noted this oversight, I managed to convince Dan to share his expertise with us :-) Should be good. ¹ http://liv.lug.org.uk/ ² http://danlynch.org/ ³ https://www.djangoproject.com/ ⁴ http://www.liverpoolsocialcentre.org/ ⁵ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.402426&lon=-2.976481&zoom=18 ⁶ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.402211&lon=-2.979428&zoom=18 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
