kandi X-RAY | picoca Summary

picoca is a Python library typically used in Security, TLS applications. picoca has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Weak Copyleft License and it has low support. You can install using 'pip install picoca' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

PicoCA is a simple CA intended for use in situations where the CA operator also operates each host where a certificate will be used. It automatically generates both a key and a certificate when asked to produce a certificate. It does not offer OCSP or CRL services. PicoCA is appropriate, for instance, for generating certificates for RPC systems or microservices. On first run, PicoCA will generate a keypair and a root certificate in the certificates subdirectory, and will reuse that same keypair and root certificate unless they are deleted. On each further run, PicoCA will generate a keypair and sign an end-entity (leaf) certificate for that keypair. The certificate will contain a list of DNS names and/or IP addresses from the command line flags. The key and certificate are placed in the same directory as the root key and certificate, with a file name chosen based upon the first domain name or IP address specified on the command line. It will overwrite existing keys and certificates, e.g. for renewals. The certificate will have a validity of 366 days, although this can be changed by using the --lifespan flag. You can also change the directory where the root and end-entity certificates are stored by using the --cert-path flag. The code is designed to be simple and easy-to-read, for educational purposes. If you stumble across a decision that doesn't make sense, please open an issue so that it may be addressed. PicoCA should work with Python 2.7, despite the incredible soul-rendering pain this has caused me.

TLS v1.2 Cipher Suites in .NET 6 / GET Request Timeout

Asked 2022-Mar-30 at 12:52

I am currently trying to connect to an AWS REST API which requires at least TLS v1.2. The documentation stats that clients must also support cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE).

When sending a GET request using the HttpClient, the connection simply times out. I have set the TLS version explicitely to TLSv1.2 like this:

We finally found the reason for this. Windows did not have the required cypher suites enabled. We have used IISCrypto to enable the corresponding cypher suites and all is ok now.

It looks like it's possible to force .NET to TLS 1.2, even though it was not enabled on the server itself.

QUESTION

Azure Pipelines local agent failing to connect with SSL error

Asked 2022-Mar-29 at 19:29

We have an on premise server (Windows Server 2012 R2) with an Azure Pipelines agent running on it. Today (31st Jan 2022) this agent could not longer connect to our Azure DevOps organisation.

Judging by the log files, I assume this is because it is trying to connect with an older TLS version, which as of today is no longer available - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/azure-devops-services-to-require-tls-1-2/

So I followed the instructions on how to make sure TLS 1.2 was enabled, and confirmed my settings in the registry editor and by running the PowerShell script suggested here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security/engineering/solving-tls1-problem#update-windows-powershell-scripts-or-related-registry-settings

All seems ok, yet it still fails to connect with the same issue. The machine has been restarted as well. If I try the URL it is requesting in the in built Internet Explorer browser, it fails, but with Chrome it succeeds, so it must still be trying to connect with TLS 1.2, but I don't know why. I've tried reinstalling the agent (with the latest build) as well but it fails on the same error. Any suggestions?

Fixing git HTTPS Error: "bad key length" on macOS 12

Asked 2022-Mar-29 at 17:34

I am using a company-hosted (Bitbucket) git repository that is accessible via HTTPS. Accessing it (e.g. git fetch) worked using macOS 11 (Big Sur), but broke after an update to macOS 12 Monterey. *

After the update of macOS to 12 Monterey my previous git setup broke. Now I am getting the following error message:

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Nov-02 at 07:12

Unfortunately I can't provide you with a fix, but I've found a workaround for that exact same problem (company-hosted bitbucket resulting in exact same error). I also don't know exactly why the problem occurs, but my best guess would be that the libressl library shipped with Monterey has some sort of problem with specific (?TLSv1.3) certs. This guess is because the brew-installed openssl v1.1 and v3 don't throw that error when executed with /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/bin/openssl s_client -connect ...:443

To get around that error, I've built git from source built against different openssl and curl implementations:

install autoconf, openssl and curl with brew (I think you can select the openssl lib you like, i.e. v1.1 or v3, I chose v3)
clone git version you like, i.e. git clone --branch v2.33.1 https://github.com/git/git.git
cd git
make configure (that is why autoconf is needed)
execute LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib -L/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include -I/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/include" ./configure --prefix=$HOME/git (here LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS include the libs git will be built against, the right flags are emitted by brew on install success of curl and openssl; --prefix is the install directory of git, defaults to /usr/local but can be changed)
make install
ensure to add the install directory's subfolder /bin to the front of your $PATH to "override" the default git shipped by Monterey
restart terminal
check that git version shows the new version

This should help for now, but as I already said, this is only a workaround, hopefully Apple fixes their libressl fork ASAP.

Unable to log egress traffic HTTP requests with the istio-proxy

Asked 2022-Feb-11 at 10:45

I am following this guide.

Ingress requests are getting logged. Egress traffic control is working as expected, except I am unable to log egress HTTP requests. What is missing?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Feb-07 at 17:14

AFAIK istio collects only ingress HTTP logs by default.

In the istio documentation there is an old article (from 2018) describing how to enable egress traffic HTTP logs.

Please keep in mind that some of the information may be outdated, however I believe this is the part that you are missing.

How to force TLS 1.2 usage for PhpMailer 5.2

Asked 2022-Feb-04 at 09:50

Recently the 3rd party email service provider I was using made a change. They disabled support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1.

I provide support for an ancient system that still uses php 5.3 and phpmailer 5.2.

My tests indicates that TLS 1.2 is enabled.

But, the PHPMailer code cannot connect to the email server after the disabling of TLS 1.0 and 1.1

Also, note that I am not a full time php expert.

Is there a way to make PHPMailer 5.2 use tls 1.2?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Nov-07 at 14:47

It's not up to PHPMailer, its up to the version of PHP that you're using to run it, so the solution is to update your PHP version. The major changes relating to TLS were largely in PHP 5.6, so upgrading to that would be a good intermediate point if you're really stuck with this legacy version.

I'm unable to reproduce your problem in my local environment, so I think it is a problem probably related to some other package in your project.

As suggested on this issue, you should try deleting your package-lock.json and generating it again with npm.

The JAR you're using there has "no module descriptor" (see first line of output) and thus can't tell you what modules it depends on, so you have to find out yourself. The canonical tool for that is jdeps but it may not be enough.

vvv.test not loading (nor any of my sites) when running vagrant up

Asked 2022-Jan-07 at 21:03

Ever since I've upgraded my Mac to Monteray, I've been having issues with Vagrant.

Initially, I use to see a vBoxManage error on terminal when running vagrant up. I posted a question on this on SO previously, see here for details.

Today, I uninstalled VirtualBox again (removed VirtualBox VMs folder and moved application to trash) and reinstalled VirtualBox 6.1.3 for OS X hosts` (link here).

I then ran vagrant up on terminal and it successfully compiled:

After seeing the famous green teddy, I tried going to vvv.test but, the page doesn't load. I've tried accessing URLs of sites that have been provisioned before, but they too do not load.

I've also ran vagrant up --debug, and nothing concerning was seen.

My Vagrant version is 2.2.19

Unsure what steps to take next?

Edit:

Steps taken:

Have ran vagrant up --provision to provision sites in config.yml file (config.yml file can be seen below)
Have tried to access website-dev.test, page doesn't load
Have tried to access vvv.test, page doesn't load
Have ran vagrant reload --provision and repeated steps 2 and 3, but same results
Have ran vagrant halt and vagrant up and repeated steps 2 and 3, but same results

I don't believe there's an issue in my config.yml file, as before Monteray update, everything was working fine (and I've made no changes to my yml file since). But, to cover all scenario's, here is my config.yml file:

Thanks to guidance from @Tinxuanna, I've managed to solve the issue (finally!).

For anyone else having similar issues, here's what I did:

Access the /etc/hosts folder
Find file called hosts and open it in a text editor.
Remove the IP addresses related to vagrant (I kept a backup of the original file just in case)
After saving hosts file the IP addresses removed, I ran vagrant up --provision
I then ran vagrant up
Then accessed vvv.test
You're done!
