Jan 15 08:40:31 <VartiWork> hi, I have now set the channel back to -r (non-registered users can also join), I'll see if there will be any bot attack in the next few hours, if none I'll make this change permanent
Jan 15 08:40:31 <TauPand> Good news about the backdoor on the Cosmo from Planet Computers.
Jan 15 08:40:53 <VartiWork> TauPand: yes, good thing that they're taking care of this
Jan 15 08:41:54 <VartiWork> and, in the meanwhile we might as well rename this channel :)  What do you think of #cosmo-geminipda ?
Jan 15 08:43:04 <calcmandan> back door?
Jan 15 08:43:08 * TauPand is all for it.
Jan 15 08:43:24 <TauPand> calcmandan: http://wuffs.org/blog/digitime-tech-fota-backdoors
Jan 15 08:43:48 <TauPand> calcmandan: also see last campaign update from PC
Jan 15 08:45:40 * greguu votes for no change of channel name
Jan 15 08:46:59 <VartiWork> hi greguu!
Jan 15 08:48:12 <VartiWork> greguu: I guess that name is a bit long
Jan 15 08:50:54 <greguu> maybe but if planet decides to release more device where do we end up with channel names
Jan 15 08:50:58 <greguu> just keep it as it is
Jan 15 08:52:05 <greguu> we are not affiliated with them..
Jan 15 08:53:13 <greguu> anyone can spawn a new channel for the cosmo if really required
Jan 15 08:54:09 <greguu> I guess most here are lurking anyway for the gemini-pda ?
Jan 15 08:56:10 <greguu> what about the backdoor in the cosmo ? is about the MDK key logger thing again ?
Jan 15 09:10:36 <VartiWork> greguu: "is about the MDK key logger thing again ?" yes
Jan 15 09:20:48 <VartiWork> Good point about the name changing everytime issue... I honestly don't know if there are more Gemini or Cosmo users here. Personally, given the low traffic here I don't think there's need for a separate Cosmo channel.
Jan 15 09:20:54 <VartiWork> BTW, I don't know what happens to the livelog/archived logs if we decide to rename the channel, I believe ka6sox would have to manually create a new log folder for this channel. And we'd end up with an "orphaned" log folder (#gemini-pda), unless it can be joined with the new one. Maybe a poll on the forum could be a good idea.
Jan 15 09:44:26 <greguu> the logs will stop if we rename the channel as the log bot from nslu2-log needs to join again.
Jan 15 09:44:49 <greguu> VartiWork: lets keep it simple and as it is
Jan 15 09:55:16 <TauPand> I don't know anything about a key logger.
Jan 15 09:56:29 <greguu> mtklogger, it was reported some time ago
Jan 15 09:57:35 <greguu> maybe harmless, but considered dodgy
Jan 15 10:00:04 <greguu> https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35100
Jan 15 11:19:26 <TauPand> No, it has no relation to that, so that mtklogger might still be present in the next update.
Jan 15 11:20:14 <TauPand> The backdoor is worse, as it allows granting arbitrary permissions to any (even unsigned) apps.
Jan 15 11:26:15 <TauPand> It looks very similar to that old adups backdoor, though. Different company, same technique, same hardware vendor.
