'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. now migrated to irisnet wordpress.
  • 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 wordpress is autmatically updated and backed up on irisnet.
  • 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..blogs do not share db at the exceptions of two.
  • We need to secure contract with irisnet, too. Done. Date of expiration?
