DocScrutinizer05btw: >>VII. FOUNDATION COUNCIL<<      >>There shall be either three of five persons on Council...<< I honestly hope this is clearly a typo and not again a common and usual phrase in modern or 16th century US english that means something completely non-intuitive00:22

*** Gear_ has joined #maemo09:10
Gear_hey09:10
Gear_somehow the IR sensor? burned a hole in the screen09:11
Gear_it melted a sort of little bump, how the hell did this happen? has anyone heard of this before?09:11
Gear_it's not a hole, more like a tiny barely raised blister, but I'm not sure the sensor works anymore and I have NO idea how this happened overnight09:12
freemangordon_Gear_: IR LED is next to camera buttton, I can't see a wa it to "burn" the screen ;)09:12
freemangordon_*way09:12
Gear_the one on the front of the screen09:12
Gear_IR sensor, for the phone to be next to your face, whatever it is09:13
freemangordon_it is either fron camera, ambient light sensor or proximity detector09:13
freemangordon_*front09:13
Gear_yeah one of those things09:13
*** freemangordon_ is now known as freemangordon09:13
Gear_it melted a little blister09:13
Addison_Never mind kerio.  I just decided to start all over again.09:15
*** muelli has quit IRC09:16
Gear_has anyone ever heard of this happening?09:18
Gear_I'm nearly going to retire this n900 and use the new one, but I'd like another 6 months at least before doing that09:19
Gear_I don't know how to test what happened. the ambient light sensor works09:19
freemangordonwhat about proximity?09:20
freemangordonGear_: ooh, there is another LED, the RGB one :)09:20
Gear_no it's right by teh speaker hole09:21
Gear_proximity sensor works09:21
freemangordonproximity sensor is right to the speaker hole09:22
Gear_shit, actually it's that09:23
Gear_how the hell does that burn out.09:23
Gear_now I'll be pushing buttons with my face09:24

Gear_the contacts in my phone are dialling wrong11:15
Gear_the proximity sensor somehow burned a hole in the screen now the contacts are wrong?11:16
Gear_seems like this phone is dead :(11:16
*** ArGGu^^ has quit IRC11:21
rikaneeGear_: burned a /hole/ in the screen?11:21
rikaneeit's adjacent to the screen and relatively low power though11:21
*** ArGGu^^ has joined #maemo11:23
*** mvp has quit IRC11:25
Gear_yes11:27
cehtehshow pic11:28
Gear_it' smore like a blister than a hole11:28
Gear_but it's definitely burnt11:28
Gear_from the inside11:28
cehtehyou are smoker?11:28
Gear_I don' thave any picture hosting crap11:28
Gear_the prox sensor is broken too11:28
cehtehimgur.com11:28
Gear_I'm telling you it's burned from the inside11:28
Gear_the proximity sensor somehow burned a blister into the plastic above it11:28
cehtehwould be odd11:29
Gear_and some of my contacts are dialling the wrong ones11:29
Gear_something is really screwed up11:29
cehtehlooks like that11:29
Gear_it's not like I've dropped this or anything recently11:29
rikaneetime to add this to "N900 Hardware Defects".11:29
rikaneecooking itself is pretty odd, though.11:30
Gear_any scan I should run?11:30
Gear_I wouldn't have thought it was possible for the prox sensor to do that11:30
Gear_but it is a small IR emitter with an ir reciever11:30
rikaneeGear_, back it up, export contacts to VCF, etc, then reflash it11:30
Gear_I mean for the hardware defect report11:31
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo11:31
Gear_is there anything I can scan the hardware with?11:31
rikaneeI don't think it's the IR sensor doing it, it would probably be hot air and a digitizer that had material defects11:31
Gear_no this phone has performed flawlessly for a long time11:31
Gear_since new.11:31
Gear_I've kept it in really good condition11:32
rikaneeGear_: what's the ambient temp in your part of the world?11:32
Gear_about 10 degrees celcius11:32
Gear_probably 6 at night.11:32
Gear_up to 18 in the day at the moment11:33
Gear_its' possible angry birds was on standby for like 10 hours11:33
rikaneeyeah, but the N900 gets warm at the back, not towards the screen11:33
Gear_its' definitely the ir emitter for the proximity sensor that has burned the screen from the inside out11:34
jaskasome sort of short-circuit?11:34
Gear_how11:35
Gear_it hasn't been wet or dropped or anything11:35
Gear_it's a weird short circuit.11:35
Gear_I have a new one on standby11:35
Gear_I'll export this stuff to that one11:35
Gear_but also I only recently changed to CSSU11:35
Gear_is it possible this could be a bug11:35
Gear_because realistically this is the end of the phone11:36
Gear_wouldn't want other poeple to have theirs spontaneously combust or whatever11:36
DocScrutinizer05indeed a funny idea that proxy sensor IR LED gone apeshit and lazored a blister/bubble into digitizer plastic11:36
*** cityLights has quit IRC11:37
Gear_yeah I didn' tknow it could output that much11:37
Gear_but it happened11:37
DocScrutinizer05I dunno if the component *could* (physically) do such thing, at least once11:37
Gear_trust me, it did.11:38
Gear_I know it's that component only from video of the unit11:38
Gear_the tiny flashes it pulsed11:38
DocScrutinizer05particularly, the IR light it emits is supposed to go _thru_ the digitizer plastic, not warm it up11:39
Gear_what if it was upside down11:39
Gear_though I don't think it was11:39
Gear_anyway it happened11:39
DocScrutinizer05if however the component emitted blue magic smoke and became a heating during the process, _that_ could cause such effect11:39
DocScrutinizer05not LED IR but component surface IR radiation, and hot air11:40
DocScrutinizer05in *theory* that could happen11:40
Gear_no PROBABLY not IR so intense that it burns a hole11:40
Gear_but if something malfunctioned, the emitter goes apeshit and burns itself out11:41
Gear_it took the plastic with it11:41
Gear_that's how hot it got11:41
Gear_and this stuff is what11:41
Gear_2mm thick?11:41
ShadowJKIt can't.. also, it goes right through the plastics, because otherwise if the plastic absorbed the IR, the sensor would be useless11:41
ShadowJKso it'd burn hole in your head insgtead11:41
DocScrutinizer05nah11:41
ShadowJKConsidering the crazy stuff you're saying, this holr im head theory sounds more plausible to me :D11:41
DocScrutinizer05not 2mm11:42
Gear_1.5mm11:42
Gear_it's more than 1mm11:42
Gear_anyway, whatever. I don't care about your speculation11:42
Gear_if there is any hardware scan I can run I'll give you the results11:42
DocScrutinizer05and when the component got internal short, it will draw arbitrary power directly from Vcc and component will heat up to several 100°C11:43

DocScrutinizer05Gear_: could you take a mocro snapshot? and publish? I'd be eager to _see_ how it looks11:46
DocScrutinizer05cehteh: LOL11:47
DocScrutinizer05:-P11:47
DocScrutinizer05macro even11:47
Gear_I could11:47

rikaneecehteh: "BUY LUMIAS"11:47
Gear_I'm over this shit, later11:48
dhbikerrage quit ?11:48
DocScrutinizer05Gear_: anyway, testing proximity sensor is easy11:48
Gear_"make a call"11:48
Gear_did that, also installed and ran "healthcheck" but that just said the prox sensor was open11:49
Gear_some kind of short, pullup state, and the component burning out with an unknown amount of current is what happened, I'd like to know why11:50
cehtehbtw you seen the first google-glass impressions: https://twitter.com/jzellis/status/335460563469627392/photo/1/large11:50

DocScrutinizer05I haven't seen such awesome goggles yet, not even as prototype. I probably should file a patent for my design of combined selectively dim'able sunglasses plus full view-angle projector. So you could a) dim selectively the spot in your view that the sun comes in and blinds you, and b) even superimpose a warning "sun here, don't look into that direction!"11:57

LinuxCodebut then again, I have been through the German education system14:16
LinuxCodeI think that is overrated14:16

Gear_the dutch education system is good, but highly class based14:16
Gear_they stream you according to aptitude/intelligence14:17
LinuxCodethey do that in Germany too14:17
Gear_but still, if you end up a bricklayer, you are BRILLIANT at laying bricks14:17

rikaneevi__, I was thinking more along the lines of a polyphonic ringtone /editor/16:46
DocScrutinizer05for all I can tell  “The Other Half” could be a registration to their website as well16:46
DocScrutinizer05and I honestly fail to see how I'm going to dial a number or a contact (even one out of 8 speeddial contacts, as on old simple Nokia featurephones) on that jolla device "without even looking at it"16:49

DocScrutinizer05yep16:51
DocScrutinizer05obviously16:51
DocScrutinizer05but they abandoned buttons prematurely, without any proper alternative in the bottom drawer16:52
vi__Despite the fact tactile controls allow one to use a device without vision.16:52

DocScrutinizer05>>Note that both videos show installation (and features) of CSSU-T - for (on first glance missing) features of CSSU-S see http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#Features<<18:51
divVerentBTW, I noticed that after installing cssu-t...18:51
divVerentcssu's repo is still active18:52
divVerentso apparently, if CSSU upgrades before CSSU-T, it'll pull CSSU's version then at first18:52

DocScrutinizer05divVerent: nonsense, a proper crypo-signed locked bootloader isn't breakable, no matter how much 'energy' you invest in it21:54
divVerentI mean... you even can use a Linux kernel exploit of the stone age kernel these devices tend to get shipped with21:54
divVerentDocScrutinizer05: except that you can start working AFTER the boot loader21:54
divVerentlike the iPhone 4S and higher jailbreaks do21:54
DocScrutinizer05so what?21:54
divVerentthe weakest link is what matters21:54

thedead1440i remember reading on IRC some quotes about how they didn't expect the backlash etc hence they decided to refocus their priorities and goals21:59

thedead1440that is why their SDK was delayed too so that they didn't have as many closed bobs as they initially thought was ok or whatever... can't remember their exact quotes though22:00

DocScrutinizer05this whole aegis shit been the wrong idea (tivoization, just done right), and it seems those Nokians who moved to jolla are still loving the idea22:03

DocScrutinizer05well, maemo even *started* better than that, afaik22:04
thedead1440re aegis; they have expressly answered "No DRM" when asked directly about aegis. I think if they do implement something similar it might be a watered-down version or something new but with the same locked-down issues22:04
*** tanty has joined #maemo22:05

thedead1440i'm not well-versed with reading code from git but a number of people on TMO have said that nemo seems to be getting substantial contributions from Jolla22:07
thedead1440code contributions*22:07
DocScrutinizer05well, in my book nemo == jolla, for any relevant metrics22:08
AoyagiI hear Jolla heavily based on Android...22:09
thedead1440then that code is public; from what i understand the middleware of sailfish is the same as mer/nemo with jolla contributing their changes back. sailfish's ux and the bells+whistles have not yet been contributed back due to their fears22:10
DocScrutinizer05as enthusiastic I've been about the N900 when it got announced, after already being in love with N810, as sceptical I've been for N9 and that never changed, and that jolla stuff doesn't change it either22:10
thedead1440Aoyagi: nope; its linux based with android apps being available too22:10
divVerentone thing I wonder BTW22:11
divVerentif it is so easy to lock down an OS... why has Apple failed every single time?22:11
divVerentI mean, the jailbreakers always have to replace the kernel by a custom one (or add a kernel extension)22:11
DocScrutinizer05Aoyagi: they have a dalvik emulator or sth22:12
divVerentin order to get rid of the signature verification22:12
divVerentso why doesn't Apple "simply" prevent loading of not signed kernels/kernel extensions?22:12
DocScrutinizer05nfc, I never looked into apple22:12
divVerentthere can be two reasons: 1. Apple does, but there's always a buffer overrun somewhere, or 2. Apple for some reason doesn't even try22:13
DocScrutinizer05aiui they just rely on classical unix permissions and missing root account22:13
divVerentI had an iPhone, they do more22:13
divVerentthe kernel verifies executable integrity22:13
divVerentso you can run non-signed scripts but not binaries22:13
divVerentalso, there is a "sandbox" that is SEEMINGLY unrelated and prevents applications from accessing data of other applications, or do "evil" syscalls22:14
divVerenthowever, all the jailbreaks I've seen ALSO turn off the sandbox, making even apps from the Store possibly dangerous22:14
AoyagiOh, I see, thanks.22:14
divVerentconfirmed this by placing a symlink in a FTP server app22:14
divVerentwhich then allowed browsing into other apps ONLY if jailbroken22:14
divVerentnow, how do people actually "apply" jailbreaks? By somehow screwing up the boot process as root22:15
*** xes has joined #maemo22:15
DocScrutinizer05there you are22:15
divVerentbe it via a manipulated backup file22:15
AoyagiAh, I misread that... "Sailfish uses a lightweight flavour of Linux, called the Mer operating system, and has the ability to run Android applications via a compatibility layer. Open-source Mer is based on MeeGo, Nokia's doomed mobile Linux project that Jolla's software engineers used to work on."22:15
divVerentor (older devices) by breaking the boot loader22:15
DocScrutinizer05yep, and meego IS aegis-infested22:16
divVerentbasically, it LOOKS like the hardest part of an Apple jailbreak is replacing the kernel or kernel extensions22:17
divVerentonce you're root AND unsandboxed, nothing prevents replacing the kernel any more22:17
DocScrutinizer05and despite the initial hopes you can't rip out aegis from kernel and hope for a "rooted" meego. You basically had to write everything anew if you'd plan to do that22:17
divVerentbasically, such a thing CAN be done right - e.g. by closely auditing any unsandboxed root processes22:18
GeneralAntillesAssuming Aegis will be in Sailfish is a big damn assumption.22:18
divVerentDocScrutinizer05: why can't you? What would happen if aegis were just ripped out?22:18
divVerentit then won't run any signed binaries/blobs any more?22:18
DocScrutinizer05and loading a patched kernel is possible on meego/harmattan only because Nokia allows it22:18
DocScrutinizer05and they didn't from beginning22:18
DocScrutinizer05they changed the XLoader to allow that, after community bitched about the promissed openmode missing22:19
DocScrutinizer05divVerent: everything using aegisfs on N922:19
divVerentI mean... can't one "just" patch aegis to say yes to all access requests?22:20
DocScrutinizer05to store stuff like SSL certs, mail accounts, whatnot else22:20
divVerentit SOUNDS like standard software cracking22:20
divVerentis also how the iOS jailbreakers break the kernel binary verification22:20
DocScrutinizer05so yes, you can rip out aegis of all the closed blobs of dialer, mailer, callendar, contacts, younameit22:21
DocScrutinizer05but that's worse than writing *everything* anew from scratch22:21
divVerenteven if all you do is patching the kernel side of aegis to still allow "forbidden" requests?22:21
DocScrutinizer05and still stuff like CAL flash area stays locked once CPU mode gone secure->open22:21
divVerentthing is, I do wonder how Nokia can possibly get this working when Apple fails every single time22:22
DocScrutinizer05again, apple took a way simpler approach22:22
divVerentApple's main issue is so many unsandboxed root system services that do read data from flash22:22
DocScrutinizer05no aegisfs on apple22:22
dos1Apple does not care that much about jailbreaking22:23
divVerentdos1: THAT may be it22:23
divVerentbuit why do they "fix" it in every single iOS release then?22:23
dos1because it's easy for them and they just want it to be some kind of PITA22:23

divVerentDocScrutinizer05: assumign you already HAVE a runtime root exploit...22:25
divVerentwhich is also the assumption iOS jailbreaks require22:25
DocScrutinizer05root is irrelevant22:25
divVerentI mean a runtime kernel space exploit22:25
DocScrutinizer05your kernel will not get loaded by xloader22:25
divVerentonce you can run code at kernel level, you can patch the kernel at runtime22:25
DocScrutinizer05period22:25
dos1divVerent: you'd have to find exploit to bootloader22:26
divVerentdos1: why doesn't a kernel exploit suffice?22:26
divVerentan exploit to run user code from kernel space22:26
divVerentLinux sometimes has one of these22:26
divVerentbut not TOO often22:26
divVerentthat SHOULD allow runtime patching the kernel22:26
dos1ouch, runtime patching22:26
divVerentyes, patching a few bytes of aegis to say yes to all access attempts22:27
dos1but what about CAL?22:27
DocScrutinizer05first version of HARM had such exploit, you could load a kernel module (with tricks) and that module gave you full control over what aegis did, without switching device hw into openmode22:27
divVerentDocScrutinizer05: exactly22:27
DocScrutinizer05they fixed that in second release of HARM22:27
divVerentand kernel level user code execution hole allows that22:27
divVerentof course, they are usually fixed easily22:28
divVerentand quickly by Linux kernel devs22:28
divVerentso basically it's counting on Nokia to not release an upgrade fast enough22:28
divVerentvendors tend to be slow at third party software upgrades22:28
divVerentbasically, if device is 2 years old, AND had no kernel update during the time22:29
divVerentI would just ASSUME there is such a hole22:29
DocScrutinizer05but gaining control over execution permissions and file permissions still doesn't mean you can do what you want, since on next boot aegis will checksum all init.d/* files and whatnot else, and if any of those got touched, you get ~malf22:29
divVerentthe hard part is finding it, Linux kernel changelogs tend to not mention these things22:29
divVerentor tend to mention them simply as crash fixes22:29
DocScrutinizer05~malf22:29
infobotwell, malf is http://maemo.cloud-7.de/Aegis-kills-device.jpg22:29
divVerentDocScrutinizer05: yes, this kind of "jailbreak" would need to be re-executed from e.g. SD card after every boot22:29
*** Gear__ has joined #maemo22:30
DocScrutinizer05haha, good luck22:30
divVerentalso common for many Apple exploits22:30
DocScrutinizer05I'm definitely not interested in such crippled devices22:30
divVerentlike, often you only had a "tethered" jailbreak because the jailbreakers had no way yet to store it persistently22:30
divVerent(as doing THAT requires a further exploit)22:30

AoyagiSounds suspiciously like UEFI.22:31
DocScrutinizer05aegis my ass22:31
DocScrutinizer05Aoyagi: it is22:31
Aoyagi:(22:31
divVerentAoyagi: yes, you can build that same thing on top of UEFI Secure Boot22:31
*** Gear_ has quit IRC22:32
*** Gear__ is now known as Gear_22:32
divVerentI just don't believe Nokia, out of all those who tried, got such a thing to work flawlessly22:33
divVerentyet still don't want to buy such a device22:33
AoyagiSo that Aegise'd device, it was bricked?22:33
divVerentthat's what aegis does if it sees a problem... PROABBLY can be reflashed somehow, but that's it22:34
divVerentbut a VM running aegis AND an old linux kernel COULD be interesting for playing around :)22:34
AoyagiHah, would you consider minefield a playground?22:34
AoyagiAt least those are my impressions about the whole thing so far :D22:34
divVerentAoyagi: I talked about a VM :)22:35
divVerentthat can be snapshotted, reverted, etc.22:35
AoyagiYeah, still tho. Oh well, I guess it could be considered a game, heh.22:35
divVerentthe part that makes this hard BTW is that one would need to go right from sandboxed userspace to kernel space... quite MANY barriers to break22:35
divVerentso even if a hole is found, quite likely aegis (or is polciies whereever it gets these from) may be adjustable to fix the hole22:36
divVerente.g. if the exploit involves mmap(), you could just ban mmap()22:36
*** xes has quit IRC22:37
AoyagiIsn't that kind of a duct type solution?22:37
divVerent(Linux actually at some point restricted mmap() for that very reason... the null address is no longer mmap()able so one can't that easily exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences)22:37
divVerentAoyagi: frameworks like Aegis are great for implementing duct tape22:38
divVerenteven the OS X sandbox is22:38
Aoyagihah22:38
divVerent(i.e. the iOS sandbox OS X recently got too)22:38
divVerentlike, the old Linux mmap+NULL pointer dereference exploits would probably be a simple syscall argument match rule for such a framework22:38
divVerentthe easiest way, but also most likely to be impossible, would be a buffer overrun in parsing those manifest files :)22:39
divVerentbut I expect that THIS part is actually coded right22:39
DocScrutinizer05you can't do a proper aegis VM22:39
DocScrutinizer05aegis asks for the certs in a secure region of flash that you can't read out22:39
DocScrutinizer05everything in HARM does that, e.g. for all the aegisfs22:40
divVerentthere is no reason why e.g. VirtualBox or VMWare could not emulate such a region22:40
divVerentit may involve however rekeying22:40
DocScrutinizer05sure, but how would you *copy* it?22:40
DocScrutinizer05;-P22:40
divVerentas you can't read out the actually "correct" vendor keys22:40
divVerentyou can't, you'd have to generate your own keypair22:40
divVerentand only test against applications signed by that22:40
divVerent(or possiby re-sign other apps)22:41
DocScrutinizer05that keypair won't work for OVI, for * and for **22:41
divVerentright22:41
DocScrutinizer05so you reinvented aegis, just without the core functions22:41
*** xes has joined #maemo22:41
divVerentit'd be merely an experiment to find a hole in Aegis + old kernel... which, once it worked, could be tried on an actual device22:41
DocScrutinizer05or rather, you re-invented HARM22:41
divVerentno, I would not even care for any applications22:42
divVerentthe only goal would be to have enough of the sandbox working so one can try breaking out of it22:42
DocScrutinizer05there is no sandbox22:42
*** konelix__ has joined #maemo22:42
DocScrutinizer05the OS is the sandbox22:42
*** konelix_ has quit IRC22:42
divVerentAegis basically is that22:42
divVerentsure22:42
DocScrutinizer05afk o/22:43
divVerentit still is a Linux kernel "with some extra code", and the goal of "breaking out" is, say, /dev/mem access22:43
divVerentbut even succeeding there is far from an actual jailbreak22:43
DocScrutinizer05honestly, discuss it over at #harmattan, with jonni and djszapi22:44
divVerentBTW, do any platforms do per-page executable memory signatures?22:44
DocScrutinizer05and that guy who wrote inception22:44
divVerentso a manipulated code in RAM will no longer be executed?22:44
divVerentbecause, THAT would actually block the common ways to "jailbreak" such a system22:44
DocScrutinizer05afaik ARM security concept already allows that22:45
divVerentoh, OK... THEN it may ACTUALLY be unbreakable22:45
DocScrutinizer05and it's actually used in some phones that share RAM between AP and modem22:45
divVerentbut again, why doesn't Apple then... performance :P22:45
DocScrutinizer05I know Thor modem chips do that, when using ram bridge22:46
divVerentbecause, if the whole kernel lives on such signature-protected memory pages, changing access checks in the kernel at runtime is hopeless22:46
divVerentchanging kernel DATA stays possible, but... hard to achieve a jailbreak solely by that22:46
divVerentespecially if Aegis works like a good sandbox system SHOULD work22:47
divVerent(and e.g. keep the policies on same way protected pages)22:47
DocScrutinizer05again, i'm not interested in jailbreaks. I'm interested on an OPEN platform that *invites* me to mess with it, not tries to block me22:47
*** hurbu__ has quit IRC22:47
*** thopiekar has joined #maemo22:47
divVerentagreed22:47
divVerentI was mainly saying that IF such a thing gets popular, it eventually WILL get broken22:48
divVerentnot that I would automatically want to buy it then22:48
DocScrutinizer05I got better targets for my creativity than jailbreaks and "who's got the longer..." with aegis developers22:48
*** norayr has joined #maemo22:49
*** hurbu__ has joined #maemo22:49
divVerentright22:49
divVerentI find it mainly interesting from the security perspective... as some things such a system does could also help e.g. servers22:49
divVerentyou do not WANT exploit code to be able to run22:49
divVerenta "properly TCPA'd" platform could be nice for a server... IF the keys are in the hands of the admins22:50
DocScrutinizer05when HARM's security team in their eternal wisdom decide that it's "too dangerous" to allow any app developer to make the indicator LED flash, then that's it for you. You're restricted with your new leete app to a customer base that's willing to "jailbreak" their N922:50
DocScrutinizer05and that's *not* a made-up example22:51
DocScrutinizer05that's the hard bitter truth22:51
divVerentsure, same with Apple22:51
divVerentthis is what I hated about iOS most22:51
*** konelix__ has quit IRC22:51
divVerentno app can access data of other apps...22:51
divVerentwhich means you don't just need one MP3 player app and one FTP server app and one file manager app22:51
divVerentbut you need ONE that does all of these22:51
divVerentso that you can FTP MP3s to the iPhone then copy/rename them there22:51
*** konelix__ has joined #maemo22:52
divVerentso the wheel is reinvented by every app22:52
divVerentand no two apps with integrated file manager have this file manager work the same way22:52
ApicWhat. Me worry?22:52
divVerentApic: no, that was only a rant about iOS :)22:52
divVerentMaemo is great because it does NOT have this flaw22:52
DocScrutinizer05and of course there is ZILCH documentation that says "sorry dude, no access to indicator LED". You have to learn about that the hard way, possibly at end of your development when you test the final product on customer devices instead of your developer device22:53
DocScrutinizer05which happened exactly like that to MohammadAG22:53
divVerentouch22:53
divVerentOK, Apple does the "same thing"... use of "undocumented APIs" is forbidden22:54
divVerentguess what happens often to devs who developed for OS X first?22:54
divVerentthey use some API they knew from OS X, and it works on iOS...22:54
divVerentthen their app gets rejected because this particular function is not on the iOS docs22:54
DocScrutinizer05since that day my HARM devices collect dust22:55
divVerentand OF COURSE Apple provides no ways for developers to check their apps for use of "bad" functions22:55
divVerentbefore submitting them to the Store22:55
divVerentso it's basically the same...22:55
DocScrutinizer05yep22:56
DocScrutinizer05unbearable22:56
DocScrutinizer05so, I'm afk22:56
divVerentadd to this that the search on apple.com is abysmal...22:56

DocScrutinizer05((a "properly TCPA'd" platform could be nice for a server... IF the keys are in the hands of the admins)) ... is what I always hear from a lot of aegis defendants. In my book there's no added security in any TCPA compared to what you can achieve with file permissions, user rights, posix permissions and e.g. selinux23:04
DocScrutinizer05au contraire, such a setup is easier to understand, easier to maintain, and thus inherently safer23:05
DocScrutinizer05once you find an exploit in either of both, you're busted anyway23:05
*** NIN102 has quit IRC23:06

DocScrutinizer05bot should _first_ check if "xy ab cd" is a valid internal command, _then_ check if it's a 100% match on any simple factoid, and only _then_ match against cmd factoids, and even there it shoud try best match of number of parameters between defined cmd factoid and input. So that a input of "xy ab cd" matches "cmd: xy $1 $1" before it matches "cmd: xy $1"  or "cmd: xy $1 $2 $3"23:39
