According to #french #courts , not telling #law #enforcement your #password is a #criminal #offence https://www.fairtrials.org/articles/news.. Insanity. Whatever happened to #innocent until proven #guilty ? I #suspect this is a #trial to be rolled out elsewhere too.
Looks like you can break #linux 's #sudo by setting a really small #password , causing a #heap -based #overflow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi.. I'm sure there is no concern here... Of course, nobody should really be setting such small #passwords .
Very interesting #pam #authentication #security #modification where there is a fake #password to run an additional command: https://github.com/nuvious/pam-duress People are pointing out that it could be useful for forced search scenarios, especially useful if you can #recover from #backup ! I believe that during these times you must also consider the point that your #drive could be #cloned and the #virtual #drive pulled at the right time to prevent anything being written.
Huh, not even #backblaze has a very good #solution for #erasing an #ssd https://www.backblaze.com/blog/how-to-wi.. They recommend to #encrypt your data, but it's entirely possible your #ssh key or #password is still #unencrypted on a reallocated block. I proposed about 6 years ago to write a wiping tool but nobody took me up on it... You can use #smart data to predict wiping coverage, etc.
