Four gunmen outside

There are four gunmen outside of my hotel. They are armed with automatic rifles and pistols. I am scared for my life having sneaked past them inside. Everyone else is acting as if everything is normal. Nobody is scared or running for cover. Nobody called the police. I've asked the reception to talk to the gunmen and ask them to leave. They looked at me as if I am mad. Maybe I am. Is this what shizophrenia feels like?! Can you see them on the picture?! Please help. There are four gunmen outside of my hotel. I am not in central Beirut, I am in central Brussels.

Achieving actually full disk encryption of UEFI ESP at rest with TCG OPAL, FIPS, LUKS

Achieving full disk encryption using FIPS, TCG OPAL and LUKS to encrypt UEFI ESP on bare-metal and in VMs Many security standards such as CIS and STIG require to protect information at rest. For example, NIST SP 800-53r5 SC-28 advocate to use cryptographic protection, offline storage and TPMs to enhance protection of information confidentiality and/or integrity. Traditionally to satisfy such controls on portable devices such as laptops one would utilize software based Full Disk Encryption - Mac OS X FileVault , Windows Bitlocker , Linux cryptsetup LUKS2 . In cases when FIPS cryptography is required, additional burden would be placed onto these systems to operate their kernels in FIPS mode. Trusted Computing Group works on establishing many industry standards and specifications, which are widely adopted to improve safety and security of computing whilst keeping it easy to use. One of their most famous specifications them is TCG TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module). TPMs are now...

How to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on Ubuntu

Example of website that only supports TLS v1.0, which is rejected by the client Overivew TLS v1.3 is the latest standard for secure communication over the internet. It is widely supported by desktops, servers and mobile phones. Recently Ubuntu 18.04 LTS received OpenSSL 1.1.1 update bringing the ability to potentially establish TLS v1.3 connections on the latest Ubuntu LTS release. Qualys SSL Labs Pulse report shows more than 15% adoption of TLS v1.3. It really is time to migrate from TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1. As announced on the 15th of October 2018 Apple , Google , and Microsoft will disable TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 support by default and thus require TLS v1.2 to be supported by all clients and servers. Similarly, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will also require TLS v1.2 as the minimum TLS version as well. To prepare for the move to TLS v1.2, it is a good idea to disable TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 on your local systems and start observing and reporting any websites, systems and applications that...

Ubuntu Livepatch service now supports over 60 different kernels

Linux kernel getting a livepatch whilst running a marathon. Generated with AI. Livepatch service eliminates the need for unplanned maintenance windows for high and critical severity kernel vulnerabilities by patching the Linux kernel while the system runs. Originally the service launched in 2016 with just a single kernel flavour supported. Over the years, additional kernels were added: new LTS releases, ESM kernels, Public Cloud kernels, and most recently HWE kernels too. Recently livepatch support was expanded for FIPS compliant kernels, Public cloud FIPS compliant kernels, and as well IBM Z (mainframe) kernels. Bringing the total of kernel flavours support to over 60 distinct kernel flavours supported in parallel. The table of supported kernels in the documentation lists the supported kernel flavours ABIs, the duration of individual build's support window, supported architectures, and the Ubuntu release. This work was only possible thanks to the collaboration with the Ubuntu C...
