@ber@osna.social @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de Vielleicht ist Threema das tollste Silo, vielleicht gibt's aber auch noch tollere, heute oder morgen. Unsere Strategie ist, sich auf das weltbeste zu einigen, die Welt dorthin zu migrieren, und dann kontrolliert dieser Anbieter die Weltkommunikation?

@bjoern@social.sengotta.net @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de Signal mag nochmal stressfreier als Quicksy, Monal oder Conversations sein. Die Frage ist nur, warum man überhaupt wechseln möchte. Wer blöd findet, dass WhatsApp nur Kommunikation mit den eigenen Kunden erlaubt, hat mit Signal halt nichts gewonnen. Für mich vereint es die Nachteile von WhatsApp (geschlossenes Silo) und XMPP (leeres Adressbuch).

@Monal@fosstodon.org Yes.

I think the main scenario that certificate authentication protects against but Dialback does not looks like this:

  • Alice exchanges messages with a remote contact, Bob.
  • Those messages aren't E2E-encrypted/-verified.
  • The attacker cannot MitM Alice's c2s connection.
  • The attacker cannot MitM Bob's c2s connection.
  • The attacker has no access to the remote server's certificate/key.
  • DNSSEC is not deployed for the relevant domain(s).
  • The attacker cannot MitM the (multi-perspective) DNS traffic used for issuing a new certificate.
  • But the attacker can MitM the DNS traffic used for Dialback.

@thomas@metalhead.club ejabberd 25.07 and newer contain that fix, so no, your instance is not affected.

In case you're using the official ejabberd packages on Debian stable: They're affected by a recent CA policy change (e.g., Let's Encrypt), causing ejabberd to reject newly issued certificates and thereby breaking federation with some remote servers. Deploy this update to fix the issue:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1128568#23

You may also want to consider enabling mod_s2s_dialback to deal with remote servers that haven't been updated yet.
