So i might lose this account. It was accidently deleted. But i can still access it through my phone. Is there a way to undelete it

22jam22 ago

Pretty cool I can't figure out my password and a very valid email address I use for everything. voat thinks is not valid.. So I can't get an email allowing me to change my password.. Love it. Does voat make you use caps and a number and a symbol when making a password? That info can help me figure mine out.

You seem respectable.

Is Voat a place I can make friends?

Go to askvoat, basically your relatives over there.

If you like liars and people who will mock you in grouo chat and ridicule your every word, then yes.

Womb_Raider ago

Typical SBBH tactic. Accuse a dissenter of being undesirable X, Y, or Z.

Womb_Raider ago

Sounds like a "yes" to me.

Womb_Raider ago

So then you're making baseless claims on a subject you're thoroughly uneducated on, yes?

duchessofdarkness ago

I guess I'll just make my username with one less s on it like it used to be anyway.

My thought as well, hadn't seen him in a while.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

i'm censored 99% of voat.

just 10 comments a day; have to allow google tracking to post or start a PM.

can't chat at all.

if i made a new account, they'd just downvote brigade it to produce the same effect.

voat is 100% controlled by militant criminal SJWs including @puttitout and @fuzzywords

adhdferret is a degenerate SJW, fyi.

This guy is right. Also there's a good xkcd comic on this.

I don't care. I use the same password for everything: Voat, my luggage. the planetary air shield. 12345. Easiest password to remember.

Liar. You explicitly said he had access to IP logs and would dox users. You are scum.

libby ago

So cool that I split a sub!

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

You're on voat. You're on hundreds of government lists. And depending on how you classify lists, the private lists you're on probably number more than the grains of sand on [random beach name].

malloryquinn ago

I for one am dying to see the cost difference between azure.net +mssql vs Linux/postgres

Womb_Raider ago

I don't ping him because he brags about downvoating me on sight. He also tells me not to ping him.

Anyway,

there was a security issue with your discord channel

Please. Prove to me that our discord server is in any way a greater security risk than any other discord server. I will wait.

Womb_Raider ago

I'm waiting, @13osiris13. I see you're making new comments.

squataclops ago

Actually just remembered it!

Womb_Raider ago

I could point to several things. Discord is one example, are you aware of the stink kevdude made about discord? @mightyyetgentle1488 started the server (during a time that other SBBH folks were destroying voat chat!) so that people like myself, who used voat chat almost daily, could still chat with voaters.

Well for some reason, kevdude really didn't like that. He started a campaign with ExpertShitposter and a few other SBBH people in ProtectVoat, Whatever, and other subs claiming that Mighty was one of the OWNERS of discord. As in owned the entire company, or has some extreme access to IP logs and underlying network information.

Not only did he make this claim, he claimed that mighty would use this discord server as a weapon to unmask and destroy the reputations of voat users.

Which is fucking hilarious, because he himself (kevdude) has joined the discord server to talk shit.

That's just one example, but it's one I remember best. He lied to so many voaters and he fucking knew he was lying to them. He knew why discord got made, he knew it was because @SaneGoatsiSwear basically rendered regular voat chat unusable. And yet he goes on that astroturfing campaign, and he goes so far that Putt notices, and even Putt was fooled by kev and blocked the discord domain.

Check for yourself, even to this day, discord is a blocked domain on Voat because of his empty claims.

Womb_Raider ago

I think some of the names above deserve to be there more so than others.

I assume you meant "shouldn't"... but where is the line drawn between shitposting and generally trying to mislead people?

Failure ago

we need full-unicode passwords, where we need a character from each block, then hashed over md5, sha1, bcrypt, sha512, md5 again, then through rot13

Dont forget that Fuzzy and I are Jewish slavemasters that have Putt chained in out basement

ExpertShitposter ago

well yeah, but my personalities try to pretend to be different people

ExpertShitposter ago

A trick you learened from sanegoat alts such as myg amalek ec, pretending to be different people agreaing with each other.

Womb_Raider ago

I mean, you're one of them, so why talk about them in the third person?

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

You know, I noticed that Tsilent_Tsunami is on the list too. Guy said in his post he wanted to contribute. Go figure.

Arotaes_Forgehammer ago

NotHereForPizza ago

The retards need to learn to remember their passwords, Putt. Besides, anyone with a big boy job should know they have to memorize passwords. Most IT departments will set up password resets at least monthly.

Womb_Raider ago

SBBH has changed, some people moved on, nothing to hide really.

We'll see if this remains true

I don't hold you responsible for their interactions, and I hope that goes both ways.

I don't hold you responsible for anything you don't do personally. I give kevdude a hard time because he attempts to hide his association with them. I think he is exceedingly dishonest on an individual basis, and I think he lacks ethics.

Again, it's a smear.

Maybe so. It was hearsay, to be fair. I recall someone accusing one of you of using CP as a weapon at one point... but alas, I can't recall. It's been some time now. For all I know, it may have been hecho they were accusing.

knightwarrior41 ago

i have my password saved on my browser.so when the changes takes effect will i be ok?

Mick ago

Yep, you'll be fine.

knightwarrior41 ago

okie dokie thanks for replying :)

Womb_Raider ago

I don't know anything about your interactions with them and I hope you'll not hold me responsible for their interactions with you.

I personally don't know you well at all. I'm more familiar with other SBBH kiddos. I'm aware 'net allegations are difficult to refute, beatle and others use that to their advantage with frequence...

It was a temporary home for SBBH

Like I said, it was a relocation. And kevdude is making it obvious to me he's trying to distance himself from SBBH, as if he weren't one of them in the past. It's laughable to me, and I don't see how you can't call that dishonesty.

Other people have speculated that hecho was among you guys long before he was modded to SBBH btw...

Browngaijin ago

I'm all good. Thanks for the heads up. See you on the other side.

squataclops ago

Well it was fun while it lasted ;)

Mick ago

Holy shit, you made 408 submissions to SBBH. That's outstanding!

Womb seems a bit jelly the last couple of days.

Womb_Raider ago

The difference between discord and SBBH/RotR/CoS is that we don't try to be an authority here. We don't try to tell others how to behave, like kevdude and gabara do.

We don't run a sub called "Protect voat" that attempts to tell voaters what is and isn't trustworthy, or what to think or believe.

Why should I believe you, Triggly? You guys have a long history of being dishonest and pretending it's "shitposting", you use that as a guise for all manner of unsavory activity and then play dumb.

heygeorge ago

The difference between discord and SBBH/RotR/CoS is that we don't try to be an authority here. We don't try to tell others how to behave, like kevdude and gabara do.

I just popped in, so maybe you've addressed this, but: The behavior you're describing sounds a lot like myg. And you're lumping all the users of multiple subs into a single category, conflating it with PV, and then contending that you shouldn't be judged by the company you keep.

Womb_Raider ago

Kevdude judges me by the company I keep all the time, are you not following along? Most of the time, he claims that I literally AM myg, sane, grifter, sar, saverem, you fuckin' name it. He's called me all sorts of people.

And you're upset when I judge him for the way he behaves on an individual basis? Lord have mercy. I'm dissatisfied with a lot of personalities that belonged to SBBH, but I'm particularly dissatisfied by him.

MYG does not run a subverse on voat telling voaters what to think or do. You're off your rocker if you're going to make such a comparison.

heygeorge ago

I'm not upset about what you think of kevdude. What bothers me is the bullshit: You don't like him & PV, yet you continually drag SBBH into it like it's some conspiracy theory. And then you say the personalities "belong" to SBBH, like its some centrally controlled thing. Lol

myg may not run a sub, but he certainly makes posts full of lies to sew a sense of distrust among Voaters.

Womb_Raider ago

Wrong. I don't like PV because kevdude runs it, while also maintaining what often feels like an army. You guys coordinate fucking downvoats, you coordinate smear campaigns on individual users. You lump dissenters into "one" person and continually accuse them all of being this one person, to make their argument weak. It's pathetic to me, it really is.

Myg can be an asshole. He really can. The difference is we don't all gang up and help him do whatever the fuck he feels like doing, unlike SBBH people. SBBH folks seem to really group up and bully other people. If you don't see that, you're not looking whatsoever.

heygeorge ago

I don't coordinate shit. Here's what happens: You make baseless attacks, and then are baselessly attacked back. Again here you are, calling me "you guys" as we are talking one on one, and meanwhile complaining that you're being lumped together with myg. Are you gaslighting or just blind to this?

Womb_Raider ago

When I say 'you guys' I'm referring to the most caustic people in SBBH, not you, george. I'm referring to beatle, expert, gabara. The bad seeds.

Kevdude, mick, and yourself keep your noses clean for the most part. I seem to be one of the few users that can trigger kevdude into dragging himself through the mud to attack someone.

I'm not gaslighting. I'm pointing out that you guys operate in a significantly different manner than anyone in discord does, and if you deny that, then you're the blind one here.

heygeorge ago

Once again, in the same comment: "you guys" and "I'm not referring to you." Lol. This is why I suggested gaslighting.

Womb_Raider ago

You're being ridiculous. You know very well what I mean.

heygeorge ago

Maybe I do, but that is only speculation based on our mutual experience.

I am referring to what you say, not your inferred meaning.

Womb_Raider ago

Play coy if you will, george. I don't have patience for your games.

So my question is how does one get voat to send a link to your email to change your email. I've been trying for days...

Mick ago

@FuzzyWords do you know the answer to the above?

Do you just enter a new mail address in your profile settings and hit submit? No sending of links occurs is that right?

Womb_Raider ago

Voat sees through you, mate.

Edit: I guess he didn't like that comment.

You've been banned from v/ridersofthereich :(

@kevdude has banned you from v/RidersoftheReich for the following reason: jew

Umrtvovacz ago

WTF. What kind of rabbit hole I went down? And why is this box so small?

Womb_Raider ago

You're looking at the underbelly of voat... shitposters. (not me, them)

Umrtvovacz ago

Yeah haha, you are so innocent. Just incessantly arguing about what? What subs who partakes in? Who are you to think that's your business?

But that was not the point of this screen, the point is the infinite borders and tiny text window.

Womb_Raider ago

If I'm not innocent, of what am I guilty?

The second part of your comment makes no sense. I assume you're asking about the way voat threads look when they get really long?

Umrtvovacz ago

Yep. I don't really care for your drama one way or another. But the tiny box and endless borders just look hilarious.

Womb_Raider ago

I don't really care for your opining.

Womb_Raider ago

So you concede defeat. Cheers!

Womb_Raider ago

I quite honestly think you do, kev. I really do.

internet_ronin ago

be me just rejoined sees this post well shit

Womb_Raider ago

Yes, I did. But I did so privately. You accuse me of being them, knowing very well that I am not. You don't do it to bother me. You do it to try to convince other voaters I'm not who I say I am.

Again, poor form.

Womb_Raider ago

Ah, but you're not saying I hang out with them, you're saying I am them. Why do you so often change your accusation?

Why is using Discord inherently malevolent in your eyes? We literally let anyone in voat join it. You, however, ban people from your subs regularly and prevent them from defending themselves from your attacks on their character. Poor form.

Womb_Raider ago

The point remains the same.

It's obvious to me that you try to actively deceive voaters, and it pisses me off. Why shouldn't I be bothered by that?

Why should my standard of integrity have anything to do with those fools? It shouldn't.

Womb_Raider ago

He offered me one, I declined the offer.

Kind of you though, @heygeorge. Thanks anyway.

Mick ago

You should be an O, bud.

Womb_Raider ago

No incentive

heygeorge ago

I don't remember offering you a "membership". :D I simply gave you the opportunity to address your desire to learn about what goes on "behind the scenes". And it's ok for you to remain willfully ignorant if that's your desire.

Womb_Raider ago

SBBH isn't the SBBH it once was. The [most] caustic users have left it and gone elsewhere, or chosen other names. Gabara and Shroomcloud are about to make fresh alts, you guys started several other shitpost subs (/v/councilofshitposters, /v/ridersofthereich, some others)

heygeorge ago

Not that it particularly matters, but when I invited you, they were both active.

Womb_Raider ago

kevdude had left. I see him as the biggest threat, because he establishes himself as an authority on /v/protectvoat, yet he doesn't mind downvoating users on site and I've caught him lying more than once.

I'm more worried about him than any of the rest of you, honestly.

Womb_Raider ago

Doesn't matter who made it. SBBH people made it, SBBH people moved there, SBBH people left SBBH to pretend they're not in it anymore.

It's not slick.

Womb_Raider ago

If you say so. You made /v/RidersoftheReich, which has all the same fucking members. It's SBBH 2.0.

Long-time members of SBBH (some recently left, but they're SBBH people regardless) that are in RotR:

Womb_Raider ago

I concede I made a mistake, but you tried to imply you were not among their group. Plain and simple. You've done this many times before.

"with them"

implies you are not them. Period.

Best way to remember your password is to use only one and somthing simple, like 12345 or qwerty and use it everywhere you need to login.

10621539? ago

Okay, that's what I thought. I guess my assumption was that most people logged in without knowing their password just used their browser's "remember password feature", though that is not necessarily the case. But adding a recovery email is the option if no remember password" feature was used.

10621470? ago

Can you confirm for me whether or not the "current password" field is automatically filled in at the bottom of the account manage page? I've mentioned to people the email recovery option, but primarily I've been suggesting just changing the password if the "current password" field is already filled in. Not sure if for some it is not, but it is for me.

How people get by without remembering their passwords or using a password manager is beyond me. Listen up goats, set up Keepass and then generate secure passwords for everything. You then just need to remember your keepass password.

As a working class sysadmin, I approve this message. No, I can't see what your password is/was. Yes I can change it, but I'm busy putting out larger fires with the (pick anything in the datacenter) at the moment. /u/PuttItOut has given you plenty of early warning and good advice, today being Tuesday. If you're logged in already, just go change your password to something you can remember, like 1488l33t or 420yolo!. If you never log out of stuff, you should know that we talk about people like you over beers.

And hey, thanks Putt. This place is all I have left to believe in.

ZX4jBXu ago

Hey everyone, may I suggest all you bastards start using a password manager? They're awesome. But don't use some online only service like a retard would. Use KeePassXC or something similar. It encrypts all your passwords for safe keeping, all you need to do is memorize ONE password which opens your "container" of passwords. You can make very long complex passwords for all your shit and never have to memorize any of them so you can finally move away from using the same damn password for everything you use online like a retard does and you retards know who you are.... (just remember the one that opens your encrypted container)

Apathy ago

You can still change your password if you're logged in. Just go to settings, type in your old password, and then type in the new one and press submit.

That's dumb. There should be a definite cut off time or some people are gonna get caught with their pants down. There's no reason to do that.

That's Putts call.

I would say that 'this weekend' means people need to get their shit sorted by Friday evening.

It IS superior. Sorry you're so butt-hurt about it. It's mobile, take it wherever you go, it's secure, it stores passwords OFFLINE, instead of online where a simple keylogger can compromise your entirety of existence...

Also, you don't need to include a picture of yourself when posting on the internet.

Ah, yes, tell me that I'm butt-hurt so that any answer I give can be dismissed as emotion rather than an argument.

It looks clunky and inconvenient as hell. YOU might think it's superior, but, well, if your judgement is anything like your skill at persuasion...

kitnaht ago

That's because your response was pretty pathetically, obviously, based on emotion rather than actual argument. 3 tenets of security. Something you know, something you have, and something you are. The tool I presented covers 2 of those things and does a better job of it than the software that you need to install on each and every machine you go to. You are not using logic here, you're just angry that someone presented a more secure alternative. My JOB was to break into systems for at least 8-10 years, and SSO apps like KeePass are like leaving everything on the kitchen table and your front door unlocked. Your social security card, drivers license, all laying in a single spot.

https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/22/15023062/lastpass-security-flaw-passwords -- That's just in March of this year. There have been many more.

Can't fucking hack shit that isn't online. Airgaps are one of the most secure methods of storage. You don't store your bitcoin in fucking Google Drive, you print that shit and store it in a safe...unless you WANT it compromised.

Yes, it's "clunky"...so are TOTP tokens. But they exist for good reason. The mention of that tool was merely presenting other people with alternatives - if they want to be less secure, they can use KeePassX (still more secure than writing your passwords down), and if they want to be a little more secure, they can use my proposed tool. Just presenting people with options, calm down...yeesh.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

your response was pretty pathetically, obviously, based on emotion

You are not using logic here, you're just angry that someone presented a more secure alternative.

Gotta say, you may need a filter adjustment. These claims you're making don't match that guys comments...

Your social security card, drivers license, all laying in a single spot.

Yes... but I'm not seeing the connection with the internet here. How is someone going to hack my left drawer through my computer? SS card is actually in the bedroom. So I'm curious to know how a hacker could come through my computer to get to my SS card in the bedroom, and the dl in the kitchen drawer.

And yes, any qualified person can buy the full set of all my info, but you specifically claimed they could come through my computer to find and copy my physical cards. Seems 'unlikely', but maybe I'm just clueless. Fill me in.

kitnaht ago

You're taking a metaphor as literal interpretation.

You use one master password with KeePassX in order to fill in all your other passwords. Typing that password on a computer keyboard can be easily sniffed by the simplest of keyloggers. That single password, gives attackers ALL OF YOUR OTHER passwords.

Having an offline device, means that master password is never typed into a keyboard that is attached to an OS which might be compromised. It's this separation of input which grants you greater security.

Unfortunately /u/deejf thinks he knows his shit (he even has cryptocurrency listed in his voat sig), but he's showing he obviously knows nothing about computer security.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Okay, I'm thinking they could get my amazon account, but they'd need to supply their own gift card to make a purchase. There's obviously no bank information on my computer, and my Paypal account balance typically stays under $10. I view any information on an electronic device as potentially compromised. More so when it's connected to the internet.

They could take over my banned reddit account. lol Would have to make a new voat account, and maybe a couple others. I do have some steam games, and that might be a pain in the ass, but over all, no huge loss.

Just looked through my saved password list. Steam, Mojang, and google are the only accounts that would be problematic, afaik. There's no cash value in the others, although I suppose they could try to obtain credit with some of them?

Dunno how much this helps with hacking attempts, but on most sites I visit, I only enable the minimum number of scripts and such to get what I want.

kitnaht ago

Yes, but that's you. The suggestion was being made to a wide audience of people. Others may use this for banking, etc.

deejf ago

Excuse me, are you calling me a liar, or just being an asshole?

kitnaht ago

I'm saying that KeePassX is platform agnostic as far as having windows, linux, or osx. And Mooltipass is platform agnostic as far as ANYTHING that implements USB. ANYTHING that can accept a USB-HID device. This means single-board computers, this means weird GNU operating systems, this means consoles, xbox, ps4...there's no KeePassX for PS4...is there...

So I'm being an asshole.

MadWorld ago

It's also compatible with KeePass and both are open source under GPL2 license. You can use it on linux, mac, windows, android, and other iCrap devices as well!

deejf ago

Kind of what I meant by open source and platform agnostic, but I guess I wasn't clear enough. :)

MadWorld ago

I wish most people would use the password manager with very strong master passwords. We are not mentally equipped to remember a set of random passwords that are 32 to 128 chars long.

It does work, yes.

M3ta ago

Yeah, doesn't Voat automatically make passwords asterisks if you type them?

Mine is ****************************.

bloodguard ago

Get a password manager you filthy animals.

Then all you have to do is remember one password (and keep track of your two factor device). Then all your passwords look like: #x$esYdM8OsI!@$vuEjrnh0X.

I recommend Keeper Security.

SirDigbyChikenCaesar ago

Just click on the gear icon up top to go to your settings, scroll down to Change Password, your old password will already be entered, type in a new password where it says new password.

You were on the brink, @PuttItOut, you were worn out, crispy around the edges, your golf swing sucked and you were ready to say, "Fuck it all!" but, in your darkest hours you put out the call (put.. it.. out?) and we slobs all rallied behind you to help make our little world a better place. I'm so proud!

PuttItOut ago

Hurts to read that, brings up some hard times.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Do you have someone (you know, one of your many spare employees...) making a list of wealthy potential donors and contacting them with a compelling offer to let them support voat? There are a number of billionaires, and even more millionaires who are on the right. Show them why it's in their interest, and some will say yes. Can it become a tax write-off? Are there other ways it could be positioned to be more attractive to them?

On the positive side: "I’ve given up golf"

Whatever it takes, man. Dunno if you're over the addiction yet, but you're going to be a better man for it. :^)

wuzizname ago

We got you. Never underestimate our commitment to you.

redpilldessert ago

Instead of $6,600 per month as before, how much is Voat eating up now thanks to the new system, or don't you know yet?

kitnaht ago

This should give us some options to shop around.

Chiefpacman ago

That doesn't make like the remnants any more though.

Phuks > sbbh. Libtards/Europeans yes, but they can generally hold a conversation better. They post more worthwhile shit.

Dont care otherwise. But I appreciate you guys confirming that none of you can have an argument by yourself.

You have to drag 10 guys into it, then make an inflammatory post or two pinging me. Fun times.

totes_magotes ago

So you'll be able to help us recover our passwords, right?

Owlchemy ago

Hey, maybe she'll see it and update it - LOL.

TheDude2 ago

We can't change our passwords now, and then they get migrated? What kind of fuckery is this?

10620128? ago

If you're logged in now I think you should be able to change your password. Putt saying "Voat will not assist in password recovery" just means Putt won't be able to respond to thousands of emails requesting access to accounts whose passwords were forgotten.

Try changing your password to something you know, now.

Le_Squish ago

It's going to be a goat Holocaust. I expect much hilarity to ensue.

Oh shit i don't think i remember my password so i guess it's time for a new user name . Any good suggestions Voat here's what i got so far >EscapefromJewyork , Hitler_is_a_Regestred_Democrat , MohammedLovesFaggots

heygeorge ago

You can get a throwaway email account, add it to your Voat account, and do a password recovery if you need.

10620306? ago

@100011 I'm pretty sure that if you're logged in right now you can also just change your password; your current password should be automatically filled in. At least this is the case on some browsers.

MadWorld ago

Everyone can easily get a free temporary protonmail.

Goathole ago

and the book said, "Imma tell all you lil' bitches right now, Voat will not assist in a password recovery." and it was so.

Word came down from the mountain boys, take heed.

That's a good habit to keep your accounts and data safe.

NiklausTheNaked ago

That's not strictly true. It may protect you from people using your machine to access your accounts, but potentially makes you more vulnerable to external exploitation.

When you authenticate to a website, you are usually going to do one of three things:

  1. send your password (normal login)
  2. send a hash of your password (normal login from the user's perspective, but more secure)
  3. send an authentication token that proves you have previously logged in (happens if you don't log out of the site)

In all three cases, this is secured by HTTPS (unless the website owners are retarded, but we won't get into that). So, what happens in each of these cases if the encryption is broken?

  1. the password is revealed in plaintext (attacker can log in, and also use your password on other websites)
  2. the hash is revealed (attacker can log in, but doesn't know what the original password was)
  3. the token is revealed (attacker can log in until the token expires)

Case 3 is certainly the safest, if you had to pick one. This simple explanation glosses over some of the finer details (ex: how is the encryption broken? is all HTTPS broken, or just a certain set of ciphers? how much of your traffic was recorded? etc.)

MadWorld ago

Of course the website itself is a huge element in safeguarding your passwords and data.

1) If it was on http without encryption and the password was in plaintext(who the fuck would do such thing X-D), you can have 256 chars of randomly generated password and it would still mean nothing to the malicious nodes that are sniffing on the wire.

2) If it was hashed, then, like you said, the original password remains safe. Usually the website will require the user to enter original unhashed password in order to change password, or optionally use the recovery email/phone. To this we could still argue that if the traffic wasn't encrypted, the password or the recovery link can still be sniffed to steal the account credential.

3) If it was a token, we could also argue the security of the token, such as how the token was generated. If the token was generated through some bogus procedure, then it may as well be easily stolen or forged.

4) If the website itself wasn't secure enough, we probably have to worry more about their website been hacked or their databases been stolen.

And with the options given, the strength of the ssl cipher is also very important. That's our baseline of defense. :-) Luckily Voat uses the tokens. I remember there were multiple Antiforgery tokens, database tokens, and authentication cookie.

Edit: you seem to know a lot about security, it would be an honor to have you around! We could learn different subjects from you!

NiklausTheNaked ago

  1. Absolutely. If the traffic was over HTTP, none of this would matter because everything would be compromised.

  2. Yep. And just to be clear, I'm not talking about just using an insecure connection like HTTP. I'm talking about an entity (like the government) recording encrypted internet traffic, and decrypting it at a later date (if a flaw in the encryption is found, or processing power increases enough to brute force it).

  3. any sane token scheme is going to be backed by a database that verifies the creation of the token. However, it is certainly possible for someone to create a token scheme that encodes the expiration time inside the token itself, which would be incredibly exploitable.

  4. Agreed. It's much easier to hit a specific target (like a website), since you will have many different attack surfaces to exploit.

Edit: you seem to know a lot about security, it would be an honor to have you around! We could learn different subjects from you!

I've been around for a couple of years, but I don't post that often. I'll try to join in more!

Is it possible to recover the password if the email is registered on voat?

Yes, that is correct.

Password Recovery Will Work

MadWorld ago

X-D I use a password manager, it can automatically log me in.

10618879? ago

That's easy for me. I use the same password for Voat, my e-mail, my Steam, my Amazon, my Ebay, all other online shops, my PayPal, my Butcoin wallet and everything else, and as it is "password" it is is easy to remember.

You don't need your password to link an e-mail while you are logged in. Just link a temporary trash mail account, request password recovery by mail and use that one while discarding the trash mail account.

Avoids someone doxing you from divulging too much info. Once your account gets too big, it becomes easier to piece together info. Not saying its a voat problem, more of a information stream issue

brandon816 ago

Open the accounts listed above. Notice how many of them have at least one of the port tester awards.

Chiefpacman ago

I think the list is for people who helped with coding or testing the server builds and submitting bug reports. I doubt the value of anyone's posts outside of that context was considered.

You're out of your element Donnie. No one is saying they didn't help, we find it interesting that so many willing to help are banhammer faggots.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

submitting bug reports

^

Not sure if I was recruited. There was a post calling for bug reports. Is that recruitment?

Chiefpacman ago

Not sure who you're quoting or what your point is but I wasnt talking about you.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

You obviously were and did, but maybe you have no idea what you say.

brandon816 ago

Okay then, I'll put it bluntly. The opportunity was open to anyone, and announced to the public several times. If others weren't a part of that group, then clearly others didn't give a fuck about Voat's future migration. That's it. Telling about the other groups, but not so much about SBBH.

And who the fuck is Donnie? Clearly I'm missing a reference.

Chiefpacman ago

You know nothing of the Dude?

Yeah I'm aware that a public service call went out. Just because a snake does something nice, doesn't make him less of a snake.

Its worth being pointed out. Not sure why you're taking offense to this, other than being confused on our understanding of how they were recruited by putt.

Well fucking said.

I guess I just find it of particular intrigue that they're worthy of thanks, considering some of these names I've seen blatantly lying to voaters, and knowingly so...

Chiefpacman ago

Funny how so many missed the point there.

No one was questioning the recruitment process, just commenting on how so many 'helpers' belong to a particularly toxic community here on voat.

The responses are mostly irrelevant/ misdirecting the convo

Womb_Raider ago

Yeah, what are you going to do? My favorite was kevdude saying he "has interacted with them" as if he weren't a part of (or perhaps leader of) their crew...

I think they just do whatever they can to win approval from Putt, so that they can terrorize voaters without his interference.

10618984? ago

Everyone on that list are those who received badges for successfully reporting actual bugs on the preview environments. Their posts are public and you can see them in /v/voatdev.

Chiefpacman ago

Yeah I generally distrust them. They rely on eachother for some kind of relevance here, its off putting.

It doesn't help that they're constantly trying to recruit more faggots by blocking/unblocking people to get attention.

Plus I know in the beginning everyone hated them because they were apparently a bunch of reddit power users trying to set up a base here.

Can't trust em.

Sounds like military level security. You change it every 30 days and you don't write it down anywhere. Even civilians have to follow the protocol when on DoD systems. Hillary would have never survived as a normal citizen soldier, she would have ended up doing push ups until she puked to use secure systems properly. That or sent off to federal prison. Following the rules is just not her style, she's a thug after all.

AnechoicMedia ago

You change it every 30 days and you don't write it down anywhere.

Thankfully, NIST no longer recommends mandatory password changes as best practice, because time isn't the enemy of passwords and people fall back to using crap stub passwords that they iterate on.

variable ago

There were some depositions of IT from her tenure as secretary of state that described how they tried to get her a computer in her office, but they couldn't make it meet her needs because she couldn't remember passwords or use her email through the secure system. They ended up giving her an entire area on the floor so that she could use her coveted blackberries to access her emails in the non-secure area. Just completely bananas.

AssaultMonkey ago

However, to reset your password for a US military system (at least in my day) all you needed was your birthdate, maybe your SSN, and your name. I never bothered to remember any passwords because resetting them was just as easy.

This is a complete and utter bollocks security policy. What's more secure, a series of Password1!, Password2! derivatives or a tough fucker like Chek2frecAl+ that you choose ONCE? At least NIST agrees with me now

BTW, the password above was generated by apg on Linux, probably there are Windows apps for pronouncable-password generation too. Can't be arsed to look for them at the moment though.

"For quick background, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce."

I think I will change it once a month with apg and then put it in a text file encrypted with GPG, thank you. ;-)

This is a complete and utter bollocks security policy

Not only that, but one system I had to use, remembered the last five passwords and wouldn't let you reuse one. The password also had to be a min of 16 chars with at least 2 lowercase, 2 uppercase, 2 special chars, and 2 numbers. But it wasn't a 30 day change, I think it was 60 or 90 days. I used keyboard patterns, and then reversed them, then started using my name with extra padding, then reversed that.

The embassy that I used to work at has this same policy but you don't get to choose your password though. When it comes time to change it you get a choice of 9 unpronounceable passwords to choose from.

Until the plain text DB gets compromised. But that's more a reason to not reuse passwords.

ThatsThat ago

That's why it is best practice to not store the passwords, but salted hashes of them.

L_Etranger ago

No shit. The salt is good to protect you from rainbow tables. But you don't control other sites' security practices and many don't do it well.

MadWorld ago

I don't know my passwords either!!

speaking from the technology side you are completing misinterpreting this event, nigger.

Awesome job everyone, and a special thank you to @PuttItOut, our benevolent overlord!

And ToFat2Fish couldn't have done it without that guy.

How long do people go without clearing their cookies? God damn.

sbt2160p ago

Why would I clear my cookies? That sounds very inconvenient. What benefits would I realise by doing this?

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Not being tracked across the internet by anyone interested? *not a technical description

I'm a filthy phone poster, so never.

DalaiFarmer ago

Every time I close a Tab, self destruct cookies.

Edit: also my history is cleared after every session... no pun intended.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Man, my sessions tend to last for several months until my 30-40 tabs crash my system. Installed session buddy after the last time, so we'll see how this goes.

Me too, theres about four dozen or more about:config changes I've done to Pale Moon that harden the fuck outta the browser, a bunch of privacy/security extensions too, which are the only ones I use like self destructing cookes, disabled java, https everywhere, no referer, agent spoofer, disabled requests, uBlock Origin, VPN, disable LSO cookies etc etc. Combine that good stuff with a security focused change in ones browsing habits like randomized user names and changing user accounts on sites like voat every few months and it all adds up to I can't be tracked outside of some targeted attack by three letter agency.

Anther ago

I used to run my browser like that too. But in the end it drove me crazy. Now I’m slightly less extreme, but still VPN when it matters.

ZX4jBXu ago

Once you get used to "roughin' it" online it's not that bad but you're right, it's certainly not for everybody.

More importantly, why don't the SID cookies for Voat expire within a reasonable timeframe? In my browser it looks like it's valid for a month.
