Erik van Straten<p>🌘DYDX.EXCHANGE DV-CERT MIS-ISSUANCES🌒<br>🧵#2/3</p><p>Below you can find a listing of 34 LE (Let's Encrypt) leaf certs (certificates) that were all issued on 2024-07-23 for [*.]dydx.exchange (i.e. literally dydx.exchange and *.dydx.exchange , where '*' represents exactly one subdomain level).</p><p>Most -if not all- of those certs were mis-issued to cybercriminals who used impersonating websites after modifying DNS records without authorization.

In all other cases "cessationOfOperation" was specified.</p><p>IMO both are wrong and misleading. The reason should have been the one used for mis-issuance:</p><p>&lt;&lt;&lt; privilegeWithdrawn (RFC 5280 CRLReason #9) &gt;&gt;&gt;</p><p>See, for example, <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/#611-end-entity-tls-certificate-crlrevocation-reasons" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mozilla.org/en-US/about/govern</span><span class="invisible">ance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/#611-end-entity-tls-certificate-crlrevocation-reasons</span></a> and <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2022/05/16/revocation-reason-codes-for-tls-server-certificates/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.mozilla.org/security/2022</span><span class="invisible">/05/16/revocation-reason-codes-for-tls-server-certificates/</span></a>.</p><p>⚠️ In addition to the previous point: maybe I overlooked it, but I found no mention of this security incident on <a href="https://letsencrypt.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">letsencrypt.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.

Erik van Straten<p>🌘DV-CERT MIS-ISSUANCES &amp; OCSP ENDING🌒<br>🧵#1/3</p><p>On Jul 23, 2024, Josh Aas of Let's Encrypt wrote, while his nose was growing rapidly:</p><p>&lt;&lt;&lt; Intent to End OCSP Service<br>[...]<br>We plan to end support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet.<br>[...]<br>CRLs do not have this issue. &gt;&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://letsencrypt.org/2024/07/23/replacing-ocsp-with-crls.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">letsencrypt.org/2024/07/23/rep</span><span class="invisible">lacing-ocsp-with-crls.html</span></a></p><p>🚨 On THAT SAME DAY, Jul 23, 2024, LE (Let's Encrypt) issued at least 34 certs (certificates) for [*.]dydx.exchange to cybercriminals, of which LE revoked 27 mis-issued certs approximately 6.5 hours later.</p><p>Note that falsified DNS records may instruct DNS caching servers to retain entries for a long time; therefore speedy revocation helps reducing the number of victims.</p><p>Apart from this mis-issuance *blunder*, CRL's have HUGE issues that Josh does not mention: they are SSSLLLOOOWWW and files are potentially huge - while OCSP is instantaneous and uses little bandwith.</p><p>🌘NO OCSP INCREASES INTERNET RISKS🌒<br>If LE quits OCSP support, the average risk of using the internet will *increase*.</p><p>🌘LIES🌒<br>Furthermore, the privacy argument is mostly moot, as nearly every website makes people's browsers connect to domains owned by Google (and even let's those browsers execute Javascript from third party servers, allowing nearly unlimited espionage). In addition, IP-addresses are sent in the plain anyway (📎).</p><p>(📎 When using a VPN, source and destination IP-addresses *within the tunnel* are not visible for anyone with access to the *outside* of the tunnel - but they are sent in the plain between the end of the tunnel and the actual server.)</p><p>Worse, the remote endpoint of your E2EE https connection increasingly often is *not* the actual server (that website was moved to sombody else's server in the cloud anyway), but a CDN proxy server which has the ability to monitor everything you do (unencrypting your data: three letter agencies love it, FISA section 702 grants them unlimmited access - without anyone informing you).</p><p>🤷 LE may try to blame others for their mis-issuance blunder, but *THEY* chose to use old, notoriously untrustworthy, internet protocols (BGP and DNS, including database records - that DNSSEC will never protect) as the basis for authentication. By making that choice, LE and other DV cert suppliers were simply ASKING for trouble.</p><p>🔓 In fact, the promise that Let's Encrypt would make the internet safer was misleading from the start: domain names are mostly meaningless to users, 100% fault intolerant, unpredictable and easily forgotten. If your browser is communicating with a malicious server, encryption is pointless.</p><p>Josh, stop lying to us; your motives are purely economical.</p><p>🌘CORRUPT: BIG TECH FACILITATES CRIME🌒<br>DV-certs were heavily promoted by Google (not for phun but for profit) after their researchers "proved" that it was possible to show misleasing identification information in the browser's address bar after certificate mis-issuance (the "Stripe, Inc" incident, <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/nope-this-isnt-the-https-validated-stripe-website-you-think-it-is/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/information-te</span><span class="invisible">chnology/2017/12/nope-this-isnt-the-https-validated-stripe-website-you-think-it-is/</span></a>).</p><p>This message was repeated by many specialists (e.g. <a href="https://www.troyhunt.com/paypals-beautiful-demonstration-of-extended-validation-fud/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">troyhunt.com/paypals-beautiful</span><span class="invisible">-demonstration-of-extended-validation-fud/</span></a>) with stupid arguments: certificates do NOT directly warrant reliable websites.</p><p>OV and EV certificates, and QWAC's, more or less reliably, warrant *WHO OWNS* a domain name. That means that users know *who* they're doing business with, can depend on their reputation and can sue them if they violate laws.</p><p>"Of course" Google recently lost trust in Entrust for mis-issuing certificates (<a href="https://security.googleblog.com/2024/06/sustaining-digital-certificate-security.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">security.googleblog.com/2024/0</span><span class="invisible">6/sustaining-digital-certificate-security.html</span></a>).</p><p>Meanwhile the internet has become a corrupt and criminal mess; its users get to see misleading identification info in their browser's address bar WAY MORE OFTEN, e.g. https:⁄⁄us–usps–ny.com (for loads of examples see <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/188.114.96.0/relations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/</span><span class="invisible">188.114.96.0/relations</span></a>; tap ••• a couple of times).</p><p>Supporting DN's like "ing–movil.com" and "m–santander.de" *is* facilitating cybercrime, by repeatedly mis-issuing certs for them (see <a href="https://crt.sh/?q=ing-movil.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">crt.sh/?q=ing-movil.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and <a href="https://crt.sh/?q=m-santander.de" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">crt.sh/?q=m-santander.de</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) and by letting them hide behind a CDN (see <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/ing-movil.com/details" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">virustotal.com/gui/domain/ing-</span><span class="invisible">movil.com/details</span></a> and <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/m-santander.de/details" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">virustotal.com/gui/domain/m-sa</span><span class="invisible">ntander.de/details</span></a>).</p><p>In addition, *thousands* of DV-certs have been mis-issued - without *their* issuers getting distrusted by Google, Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla.</p><p>People have their bank accounts drained and companies get slammed with ransomware because of this.</p><p>But no Big Tech company (including the likes of Cloudflare) takes ANY responsibility; they make Big Money by facilitating cybercrime. Not by issuing "free" DV-certs, but by selling domain names, server space and CDN functionality, and by letting browsers no longer distinguish between useful and useless certs. They've deliberately made the internet insecure *FOR PROFIT*.</p><p>🌘CERT MIS-ISSUANCE ROOT CAUSE🌒<br>The mis-issuance of LE certs was caused by the unauthorized modification of customer DNS records managed by SquareSpace; this incident was further described in <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/defi-exchange-dydx-v3-website-hacked-in-dns-hijack-attack/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu</span><span class="invisible">rity/defi-exchange-dydx-v3-website-hacked-in-dns-hijack-attack/</span></a>.</p><p>Note that a similar attack, also affecting SquareSpace customers, occurred on July 11, 2024 (see <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dns-hijacks-target-crypto-platforms-registered-with-squarespace/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu</span><span class="invisible">rity/dns-hijacks-target-crypto-platforms-registered-with-squarespace/</span></a>). Even if it *looks like* that no certs were mis-issued during the July 11 incident, because (AFAIK) none of them have been revoked, this does not warrant that none of them were mis-issued; such certs can still be abused by attackers, albeit on a smaller scale.</p><p>🌘MORE INFO🌒<br>Please find additional information in two followups of this toot:</p><p>🧵#2/3 Extensive details regarding Mis-issued dydx.exchange certs on 2024-07-23;</p><p>🧵#3/3 Links to descriptions of multiple other DV-cert mis-issuance issues.</p><p>🌘DISCLAIMER🌒<br>I am not (and have never been) associated with any certificate supplier. My goal is to obtain a safer internet, in particular for users who are not forensic experts. It is *way* too hard for ordinary internet users to destinguish between 'fake' and 'authentic' on the internet. Something that, IMO, can an must significantly improve ASAP.</p><p>Edited 08:16 UTC to add people:<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@troyhunt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>troyhunt</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@dangoodin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dangoodin</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@BleepingComputer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BleepingComputer</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@agl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>agl</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DV</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LE</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LetsEncrypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetsEncrypt</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Certificates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Certificates</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Certs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Certs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Misissuance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misissuance</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Mis_issuance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mis_issuance</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Revocation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revocation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Revoked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revoked</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Weaknessess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Weaknessess</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WeakCertificates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeakCertificates</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WeakAuthentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeakAuthentication</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Authentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authentication</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Impersonation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impersonation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Identification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Identification</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNSHijacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNSHijacks</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SquareSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SquareSpace</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Authorization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authorization</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UnauthorizedChanges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnauthorizedChanges</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UnauthorizedModifications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnauthorizedModifications</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DeFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeFi</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dydx_exchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dydx_exchange</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CryptoCoins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CryptoCoins</span></a></p>
Erik van Straten<p>Detailed explanation (last part) of what I wrote in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/112882437562055760" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat</span><span class="invisible">en/112882437562055760</span></a></p><p>————————<br>(8) Impersonation of websites (phishing)<br>————————<br>A rapidly increasing problem on the internet is impersonation of real websites as part of phishing attacks.</p><p>Domain names are just (temporary) aliases to identities - like phone numbers. They may *seem* meaningful, but most often they are not.</p><p>Usually the identity-alias relation makes some sense, but only in one direction. Most people know that google.com belongs to Google. However, having seen aka.ms or goo.gl does make at least some people believe that the .ms TLD belongs to Microsoft and .gl to Google: they do not.</p><p>Typically (again) marketeers fail to understand this in general as well as the hierarchical nature of domain names. This lunacy leads to the fact that people are supposed to remember every domain name *precisely* that an organization may use (domain names have zero fault tolerance).</p><p>For example, we learned that microsoft.com belongs to Microsoft, Inc. from Redmond, USA.</p><p>However, why would (login.) microsoftonline.com also belong to that company? What idiot "invents" such a name? Are their other servers OFFLINE or what? Why didn't they use login.microsoft.com?</p><p>And why does live.com belong to them? And passport.com, outlook.com?</p><p>Okay, if that's the case, then why would microsofsignin.com, microsoft.login.com, lookout.com, microsoft.fail and microsoft.wtf *NOT* belong to Microsoft?</p><p>This makes no sense whatsoever.</p><p>It exactly describes the problem: perhaps with some exceptions (such as .gov domains), in general, domain names do NOT necessarily have anything to do with the person or organization responsible for a website.</p><p>And precisely such information would help internet users determine whether they are visiting the website of the INTENDED ORGANIZATION.</p><p>Like in offline life, knowledge of who owns a shop does not automatically mean that the owner is reliable and trustworthy.</p><p>However, knowing (with a specific reliability) who owns a website, has some important advantages, like the ones that follow:</p><p>• As said, being able to distinguish between fake and real websites in a more reliable way;</p><p>• Based on knowing who the owner is, users can try to find information regarding the *reputation* of the owner;</p><p>• By knowing where the owner lives, they have an indication of the success of suing the owner if he/she deceives them;</p><p>• The fact that persecution of criminal website owners is more likely if they cannot hide their real identity is very likely to deter at least part of the criminals from commiiting such crimes;</p><p>• Individuals who repeatedly commit crimes may be included in block lists.</p><p>There's a lot more to be said about this topic; I may write more about this at later time.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://beta.mstdn.cf/users/billtoulas" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>billtoulas</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@BleepingComputer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BleepingComputer</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Certificates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Certificates</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/https" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>https</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TLS</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Encryption</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Signing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Signing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DV</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DomainValidation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DomainValidation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AitM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AitM</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MitM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MitM</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Identification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Identification</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Authentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authentication</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Impersonation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impersonation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OV</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/QWAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QWAC</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LE</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LetsEncrypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetsEncrypt</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MisIssuance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MisIssuance</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Revocation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revocation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Revoked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revoked</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OCSP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OCSP</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OCSPStapling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OCSPStapling</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CRL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CRL</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CertificateMisIssuance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CertificateMisIssuance</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNSHijack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNSHijack</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BGP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BGP</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BGPHijack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BGPHijack</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trust</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Reliability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reliability</span></a></p>
Erik van Straten<p>Detailed explanation of what I wrote in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/112882437562055760" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat</span><span class="invisible">en/112882437562055760</span></a></p><p>————————<br>(1) Server certs NOT used for encryption<br>————————<br>Server certificates are not used for emcryption when using "forward secrecy" [1] - a common practice for a decade or so.</p><p>TLS sessions are encrypted using a randomly generated symmetric (e.g. AES) encryption key, for example generated by the browser.</p><p>The chicken-and-egg problem then is how to securily transfer that session key to the server over an unencrypted connection.</p><p>Before TLS v1.3, the server would automatically send it's certificate to the browser soon after the (still unencrypted) TCP/IP connection was established.</p><p>Long ago the browser would then generate the symmetric encryption key, and use the public key from the server certificate to encrypt the session key. As only the possessor of the associated private key can decrypt the result, the encrypted symmetric key could be securily transmitted over the (still unencrypted) TCP/IP connection.</p><p>Problem: if attackers or three-letter agencies capture and save encrypted session data (partially encrypted network packets), and later steal or demand a copy of the server's private key, then they can decrypt the (asymmetrically) encrypted session key, and thereafter, decrypt the entire session.</p><p>Solution (simplified), using forward secrecy [1]: for each session, the server and the browser generate an ephemerical (intended for temporary use) asymmetric keypair and exchange their public keys.</p><p>Without going into too many details [2], those ephemerical keys are used to:</p><p>• Mutually agree upon a symmetric session encryption key;</p><p>• Enable AitM detection (see (4));</p><p>• Delay the transmission of the certificate by the server to the browser to *after* the moment that the TLS connection is encrypted - which happens since TLS v1.3.</p><p>Note: the last point even *proves* that the certificate cannot be used for encryption: it is transferred AFTER symmetric endryption starts. See also (4).</p><p>————————<br>(2) People are NEVER E2EE endpoints<br>————————<br>Unfortunately users are incapable of performing the complicated calculation required by encryption. The fact that their browser is one of the endpoints of an E2EE connection, significantly increases user risks (e.g. consider Man-in-the-Browser attacks and techniques like Client-Side Scanning).</p><p>————————<br>(3) Not EVERYTHING is encrypted<br>————————<br>Encryption does not prevent malicious network monitoring. Data such as IP-addresses are sent in the plain, and saving encrypted session data increases the risk that attackers later on manage to break the encryption (for example, if insufficieny secure Diffie-Hellman parameters were used).</p><p>————————<br>(4) https PARTIALLY prevents AitMs/MitMs<br>————————<br>TLS and https (because it's built on TLS) excelently prevent AitM (Attacker-in-the-Middle aka MitM) attacks when *NOT* taking into account the human factor.</p><p>————————<br>(4a) Flawed REAL LIFE AitM detection<br>————————<br>To understand the importance of the ability of TLS to always detect AitM attacks, please consider the following (potentially undetected) AitM attack affecting Nancy and her Mother, who are used to communicate using a chat app (a similar atack may take place using phone calls, but that either requires voice manipulation or some social engineering):</p><p>————<br>Mom (not easily cheated)<br>^<br>| Step 1, AitM to Mom: "Nancy here.<br>| I broke my phone and now I have a<br>| new number. I ran out of money, the<br>| phone was expensive. Can you<br>| please transfer $800 to &lt;bank nr&gt;?"<br>|<br>| Step 2, Mom to 'Nancy': "What is the<br>| password that we agreed upon for<br>| such cases?"<br>|<br>| Step 3, AitM (claiming to be Nancy):<br>| "Ah that's right, I'll have to look<br>| that up, wait a sec."<br>|<br>| The AitM now apps Nancy (see step<br>| 4).<br>v<br>AitM (LOL)<br>^ <br>| Step 4, AitM to Nancy:<br>| "I'm your mom. I broke my phone and<br>| now have a new phone and a new<br>| number. Some time ago we agreed<br>| upon a password to use when the<br>| other one asks for a favor. However,<br>| that password was stored on my<br>| old phone and I don't remember it.<br>| What again was the password that<br>| we agreed upon?<br>| BTW remember: *never* give it<br>| away when an impostor, such as<br>| who supposedly "has a new<br>| phone", asks you to do them a<br>| favor!"<br>|<br>| Step 5, Nancy to 'Mom':<br>| "correct horse battery staple."<br>v<br>Nancy (not easily cheated)<br>————</p><p>I'll leave the next steps to your imagination.</p><p>————————<br>(4b) TLS/https strong AitM detection<br>————————<br>Back to TLS (which https builds upon). A critical detail is that the server uses it's certificate (actually the private key) to digitally sign the public Diffie-Hellman parameters that were exchanged before the session was encrypted. To clarify (in practice the public keys mentioned are huge unpredictable numbers):</p><p>————<br>Server called "example.com"<br>• Certificate: {example.com, pubkey}<br>• privkey (associated with pubkey in cert)<br>----<br>^ <br>| Server side ephemerical pubkey = 3<br>| Encrypted session 1<br>| Client side ephemerical pubkey = 5<br>v<br>AitM<br>^<br>| Server side ephemerical pubkey = 7<br>| Encrypted session 2<br>| Client side ephemerical pubkey = 9<br>v<br>Browser<br>————</p><p>The server signs their "server side ephemerical pubkey" value "3" with its private key associated with the public key in its certificate, and then sends both the certificate and the signed value "3" to the browser.</p><p>The browser compares the signed value "3" with the "server side ephemerical pubkey" value "7" as seen by the browser. Since they differ, the browser knows that an AitM must be present, and shows a certificate error.</p><p>As long as the attacker does not possess a private key + associated certificate *that is trusted by the browser*, TLS-AitM's are impossible in practice (not taking vulnerabilities into account). Another precondition is that the user knows that the domain name shown in the address bar of their browser actually belongs to the organization they think that they're communicating with - which is a HUGE issue - but unrelated to TLS itself.</p><p>Finally, if the user begins by entering https:⁄⁄www.bleepingcomputer.com (I've replaced '//' by '⁄⁄' to prevent Mastodon from hiding them), then there are three possibilities, ordered in decreasing probability:</p><p>a) The browser connects to the *real* bleepingcomputer.com server;</p><p>b) The browser issues a certificate warning or error;</p><p>c) Unlikely: a certificate was mis-issued to impostors, an untrustworthy rootcertificate was added to the certificate store used by the browser, some vulnerability was exploited, bleepingcomputer.com was compromised and redirects the browser to some other site, or the browser was compromised.</p><p>*BONUS POINTS DETAILS*</p><p>————————<br>(5) Identification<br>————————<br>Identification is the proces of determining attributes of an entity (a tangible or untangible "thing"), in order to *recognize* it, based upon having "seen" the entity before, or by relying on attributes described by others. Identification does not always need to be unique (e.g. knowing "it's a banana" usually suffices).</p><p>Identification of a website takes place by looking at the domain name in the browser's addres bar (the domain name is the commonly used identifying attribute of a public web server).</p><p>When using an https connection, additional identifying details of the *owner* of the domain name *may* be present in the server's certificate. However, over the last decade, more often than not, such details are no longer included in server certificates. And even if they are: when using mobile browsers in particular, such additional details can either only be partially visualized (in Chrome, on Android only) or not at all. This significantly limits the ability of internet users to distinguish between real and impersonated websites.</p><p>————————<br>(6) Authentication when using TLS/https<br>————————<br>Authentication is the proces of determining whether identifying information and an entity "match" ("belong together"), e.g. is the person who he/she claims to be. The reliability of authentication may vary *a lot*.</p><p>In contrast to identification, authentication is often used to prove the identity of one specific entity (OTOH, sometimes multiple persons share one user-ID and password to log in to one acount).</p><p>W.r.t. https: the entity is the website, and usually a public domain name is used to identify such an entity.</p><p>Note: a webserver may host multiple websites - distinguished by their domain names (which is why I refer to websites).</p><p>Technical authentication of a website takes place as follows:</p><p>• The server proves possession of a private key uniquely associated with the public key in the server certificate;</p><p>• The browser verifies the validity of the certificate (sent to the browser by the server) and confirms that the certificate is valid for the domain name shown in the browser's address bar. The browser will issue a certificate warning or error if anything fails.</p><p>————————<br>(7) Impersonation of websites (phishing)<br>————————<br>It is an exception, but sometimes attackers manage to obtain certificates for domain names that are not theirs. For example, on July 23 (2024) Let's Encrypt issued 34 certificates to subdomains of dydx.exchange (and that domain name itself). Among the interesting aspects of this certificate mis-issuance incident is the fact that Let's Encrypt revoked only 27 certificates (approx. 6.5 hours after issuing them).</p><p>Note: for more info
