MITM from day one breaks key continuity management by tepples · 2014-05-26 16:21 · Score: 2 · on PHK: HTTP 2.0 Should Be Scrapped

However, much of the time your main concern is that the certificate isn't an MiTM, and that you are talking to the same person or entity you were talking to previously.

That's called the "key continuity management" paradigm. But KCM breaks down if the first time you talk to someone happens to be through a man in the middle. If your Internet connection is through a MITM proxy, as seen in bug 460374 and in many corporate networks, then "the same person or entity you were talking to previously" would be the MITM. For this reason, even though SSH is most often used in KCM mode, the "Please answer yes or no" prompt urges the user to confirm the server's key fingerprint out of band.

Why should I have to pay for the damage done by browser plug-ins?

Cars are a requirement to get to work and to get paid for most people. Getting paid is necessary to live. Therefore for all practical purposes car use is required to live, but car pollution is not required. It just costs more to avoid it. By using non polluting cars the total cost to society is reduced by the drop in pollution, while the individual cost is increased. The question is, whether or not people would rather pay with hospital bills and shorter lives or simply pay more for their car. Of course, since it is a form of gambling, most people will gamble it won't affect them or correctly conclude that just one more car won't matter much. Still, the purpose of government is to take a longer term view, hence some focus on electric vehicles makes sense. The argument that internet plugins cause people a reduction in their health may be technically true, but then people can choose to get exercise regardless. They can't practically choose to stop driving. For a similar reason I'm trying to buy a house in a less polluted area that is closer to work...

Summary:

A. ) Hosts do more than AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default) + Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse", or Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,

C. ) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish & trackers), reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).

---

Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ OS, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).

* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers & in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see)

** Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE - bloating memory consumption too + hugely excessive CPU usage (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

SO - Instead, I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts (A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself)

Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ OS, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).

* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers & in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see)

** Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE - bloating memory consumption too + hugely excessive CPU usage (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

SO - Instead, I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts (A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself)

I'm not remotely interested in Chrome, but I want to see what's in store for Firefox about 2 releases from now.

this is clearly a joke....but if you actually want to see whats in store for firefox 'about 2 releases from now' just start using the firefox Nightly branch:

https://nightly.mozilla.org/

they recently implemented a new http cache http://www.janbambas.cz/new-fi...

they moved the preferences into the webpage area instead of in a popup window http://msujaws.wordpress.com/2...

in windows theyve implemented OMTC https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platf...

and they have been continuing work on their one thread/process per tab project.. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Elect...
