  61. # [03:13] <MikeSmith> Hixie: OK, thanks
  62. # [03:13] <MikeSmith> I did already commit it that way yesterday
  63. # [03:14] <MikeSmith> the main reason I was asking was that the behavior's not totally consistent in that we don't currently do the same for some other cases where the spec provides some additional guidance
  64. # [03:15] <MikeSmith> for example, for Set-Cookie
  65. # [03:16] <MikeSmith> where we could emit "To set cookies, use HTTP headers instead." or whatever
  66. # [03:19] <MikeSmith> but anyway, it's a bigger priority to implement checks for all the actual document-conformance requirements in the spec

  184. # [16:12] <AryehGregor> <Hixie> AryehGregor: are you going to mention the things that were discussed in #whatwg earlier? <-- Which things that we discussed in #whatwg earlier?
  185. # [16:12] <AryehGregor> I plan to come up with as many specific examples of spec or spec organization forks that I can.
  186. # [16:13] <AryehGregor> The two that I know of offhand are the WHATWG splitting from the W3C, and the W3C being created because TBL had too many problems in the IETF, which are both excellent support for forking.
  187. # [16:13] <AryehGregor> Other people have mentioned an IETF fork of some version of HTML, what's the story on that?
  188. # [16:13] <AryehGregor> And does anyone know of other examples?
  189. # [16:13] <Dashiva> <othermaciej> One thing I wonder about is whether the W3C intends to take action against the ISO HTML, XHTML-MP, CHTML, XHTML Basic, XHTML 2, WML, WTVML, XHTML-Print, WHATWG HTML, or HDML forks of HTML
  190. # [16:14] <AryehGregor> Oh, it was ISO that forked it, not the IETF.
  191. # [16:14] <AryehGregor> Right.
  192. # [16:14] <AryehGregor> Surely XHTML 2 doesn't count, since that's a W3C-sponsored fork?
  193. # [16:16] <Dashiva> I guess that depends on what the purpose of the ban on forks is
  194. # [16:16] <MikeSmith> CE-HTML
  195. # [16:17] <MikeSmith> and Open IPTV Forum "Declarative Application Environment V2.0"
  196. # [16:17] <MikeSmith> http://www.openiptvforum.org/specifications.html
  197. # [16:17] <MikeSmith> take a look a that spec some time -

  199. # [16:18] <Dashiva> Heh, it references HTML5
  200. # [16:18] <AryehGregor> Is anyone interested in helping with a wiki page to outline all the arguments for why forking is either harmless or good?
  201. # [16:19] <Dashiva> That sounds like trying to prove a negative...
  202. # [16:19] <AryehGregor> No, you can cite all the existing forks and point out that they were all either harmless or good.
  203. # [16:19] <AryehGregor> That's evidence.
  204. # [16:20] <Dashiva> Anecdotal evidence
  205. # [16:20] <wilhelm_> *-MP was not good. :P
  206. # [16:20] <AryehGregor> As opposed to no evidence, which is what the forking-is-bad crowd has.
  207. # [16:20] <AryehGregor> You can't expect randomized controlled double-blind trials for questions like "Is allowing spec forks a good idea?" You've got to work with what you have.
  208. # [16:21] <AryehGregor> I'll have only limited time to work on a real response to the survey unless Hixie decides it's part of my contract.
  209. # [16:21] <AryehGregor> (Why can't contracts just say stuff like "Do something useful and web standards-related"?)
  210. # [16:21] <Dashiva> It's a mystery

  212. # [16:21] <AryehGregor> That seems to be the job description of some full-time employees.
  213. # [16:22] <Dashiva> But really, several of the ones othermaciej listed are non-harmless in my opinion
  214. # [16:22] <AryehGregor> Interesting. Which ones?
  215. # [16:22] <Dashiva> The ones building on XHTML, because they fragment the ecosystem and lead to a waste of time and effort when they fail
  216. # [16:22] <AryehGregor> They still probably don't strongly support the case of restrictive copyright licensing, given that a) they might not actually infringe copyright, and b) the W3C doesn't appear interested in suing even if they do.
  217. # [16:23] <othermaciej> some I'm not sure totally count as forks
  218. # [16:23] <AryehGregor> So, like, XHTML 2?
  219. # [16:23] <othermaciej> but XHTML-MP is pretty bad, as it sends content purporting to be XHTML but with different processing rules
  220. # [16:23] <othermaciej> (really weird stuff too)
  221. # [16:23] <othermaciej> CHTML is bad for similar reasons
  222. # [16:24] <othermaciej> these are bad not only for browsers that implement them but also, when such content is posted, it creates non-interoperable worlds and makes it hard to successfully display all content
  223. # [16:24] <othermaciej> WML is less bad in that regard since it has a distinct content type but I'm not totally sure if it is fair to call it a fork
  224. # [16:25] <othermaciej> it certainly copies many of the elements in HTML
  225. # [16:25] <AryehGregor> But these are all basically unsuccessful, aren't they?
  226. # [16:25] <AryehGregor> They're only really harmful if they cause real problems, not if they would have caused problems had they been successful.
  227. # [16:25] <othermaciej> there is a huge amount of XHTML-MP, CHTML and WML content out there
  228. # [16:25] <AryehGregor> Interesting.
  229. # [16:25] <othermaciej> in east asia, there is huge market pressure for any mobile browser that gets released to support one or more of them
  230. # [16:25] <AryehGregor> I've never heard of any of them, I don't think.
  231. # [16:25] <AryehGregor> Oh, they're mobile things.
  232. # [16:26] <AryehGregor> Well, I'll briefly look at some of them, I guess.
  233. # [16:26] <othermaciej> yes, mobile web stuff
  234. # [16:26] <wilhelm_> A lot of operators push for *-MP compliance, too.
  235. # [16:26] <wilhelm_> (Which sucks.)
  236. # [16:26] <othermaciej> many of the forks from my list are W3C-sponsored but are nonetheless incompatible fors
  237. # [16:26] <othermaciej> XHTML2 is much less damaging than the things I listed since no one uses it
  238. # [16:26] <AryehGregor> I don't think W3C forks are germane to the licensing question at hand.
  239. # [16:27] <AryehGregor> Since they'd be allowed under any license, presumably.
  240. # [16:27] <othermaciej> none of these are germane to the licensing issue at hand
  241. # [16:27] <AryehGregor> Why not?
  242. # [16:27] <othermaciej> none of them were prevented by the W3C Document License
  243. # [16:27] <othermaciej> which does not allow forking
  244. # [16:27] <AryehGregor> That's evidence that the restrictive license is ineffective, which is germane.
  245. # [16:28] <othermaciej> or to look at it another way, all of them are germane, since they show that anti-forking license provisions are not effective at preventing forking
  246. # [16:28] <AryehGregor> Right, exactly.
  247. # [16:28] * AryehGregor has to go now, more later . . . if he can find the time
  248. # [16:28] <othermaciej> the fact that the W3C itself forks is even more germane, since no license you could imagine could prevent that
  249. # [16:29] <AryehGregor> I'm glad we got those extra two licensing options up. I wonder how the results of the survey will be considered by the people whose business it is to consider them.

  299. # [19:29] <Hixie> abarth: if you are trying to hash passwords in a login db, then presumably you want to use MHAC with some algorithm like SHA-256 or whatever. but what key do you use? can you use the username as a key, or is that a Bad Idea?
  300. # [19:30] <abarth> i bet there's some canonical explanation for how to do this
  301. # [19:30] <abarth> but the general approach is to use a hash, not an HMAC
  302. # [19:31] <abarth> with a public and a private salt
  303. # [19:31] <Hixie> k
  304. # [19:31] <Hixie> so there's no good way to avoid a private salt?
  305. # [19:32] <Hixie> i was hoping to be able to do a "SELECT ... WHERE ... AND password=?" instead of selecting the row then comparing the password
  306. # [19:32] <Hixie> so that if the password is wrong, the code never even gets the userid
  307. # [19:32] <Hixie> it's not a huge deal if it's not possible
  308. # [19:32] <abarth> the private salt is just there to slow down the hash function
  309. # [19:33] <abarth> so you can avoid it if you pick a slow hash function
  310. # [19:33] <abarth> the public salt is technically supposed to be per-password though
  311. # [19:33] <abarth> to prevent the attack from attacking all the passwords at once
  312. # [19:33] <abarth> with a dictionary
  313. # [19:33] <abarth> s/attack/attacker/
  314. # [19:34] <AryehGregor> Hixie, if your DBMS supports the relevant functions, you can do something like "WHERE ... password = SHA256(salt + 'password')", if the user table has a salt column that contains the per-user salt.
  315. # [19:35] <AryehGregor> Of course, that's not indexable, so it won't scale to many users.
  316. # [19:36] <AryehGregor> Why would you want to look up users by their password anyway, though?
  317. # [19:36] <AryehGregor> Other than to detect weak passwords, maybe, in which case it's obviously going to be O(N) and indexing doesn't make much of a difference one way or the other.
  318. # [19:37] <Philip`> (It'd be indexable in Postgres, I think)
  319. # [19:37] <AryehGregor> Philip`, how?
  320. # [19:37] <AryehGregor> Postgres supports indexes on expressions, but what expression could you index here?
  321. # [19:37] <Philip`> (unless I'm missing understanding, which I probably am)
  322. # [19:37] <AryehGregor> In "WHERE ... password = SHA256(salt + 'password')", password and salt are both DB columns.
  323. # [19:38] <AryehGregor> And the string 'password' is provided literally by the application for the specific query.
  324. # [19:39] <Philip`> I think I was reading the literal and column the other way around

  330. # [19:49] <Hixie> AryehGregor: so that it returns nothing when the password is wrong
  331. # [19:49] <AryehGregor> Hixie, oh, I see.
  332. # [19:49] <abarth> that seems fine
  333. # [19:49] <Hixie> AryehGregor: let me see if i can use a SHA256() function
  334. # [19:50] <abarth> but this isn't my area of expertise
  335. # [19:50] <Hixie> abarth: k
  336. # [19:50] <AryehGregor> Ideally your public salt should be long enough that you foil rainbow table attacks.
  337. # [19:50] <AryehGregor> For that purpose, it's probably best to make it a not-too-short randomish string.
  338. # [19:50] <Hixie> looks like sqlite3 doesn't have hash-related functions
  339. # [19:51] <Hixie> wonder if i can add custom functions from perl...
  340. # [19:51] <AryehGregor> Is this a WebSQL use-case?
  341. # [19:51] <Hixie> no it's just a toy i'm playing with at home
  342. # [19:52] <AryehGregor> I don't actually get the use-case at all, though. If the attacker can query the DB, why don't they just do "SELECT * FROM user"? Because they only have the right to execute prepared statements?
  343. # [19:52] <Hixie> ho ho ho, you _can_ add functions in perl
  344. # [19:52] <Hixie> that will make my life easier
  345. # [19:52] <AryehGregor> How does that even make sense with SQLite, though? If you can query an SQLite database, surely you have read access to the database file?
  346. # [19:53] <Hixie> AryehGregor: the concern is highly theoretical and mare an issue of having clear boundaries in code, but to the extent that it is a concern, the theoretical attack is someone who can cause the perl code to leak data from its environment
