Security memo

'Insecure' protocols

• FTP, when possible use sftp (available in gftp, fugu and filezilla)
• SMTP and webmails without https
• in general, open wifi connections

We have to start using gpg keys. How about a key-signing party? How to secure wifi?

Spam

• constant's news is regularily spammed.
• subscription forms for the mailing list.
• map of stitch-and-split
• wiki, see recent changes. Wiki is now only open for writing to people that have a user registered by the admin.

'Insecure' software

• wiki needs upgrade.
• wordpress needs upgrade.
• regular updates on server + router.

User management in irisnet

• at the moment, the weblogs share the same database. It means if one is cracked all the oters will fall. the same for the wiki. We need to create user accounts for irisnet, it will involve changes in urls, etc. We need to secure contract with irisnet, too.
