Re: PUBLIC-NOTICES: Forum Changes/Fixes. Any Questions?

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change the link on the front page of the Defcon site for Twitter, either. It's currently https://twitter.com/_defcon_ and Twitter is rejecting the connection. You can log into twitter from https, but it really doesn't like links to pages via https. Just saying.

That would be Neil's area. Hey Neil!

defconpics isn't one of your servers. ;-)

pics.defcon.org and forums are fine. It was the link to someone else's server that isn't working with https.

Strange. https should work. Time to debug!

User reported by email that https to defconpics.org doesn't work, but http to defconpics.orgdoes work. Changed https://pics.defcon.org/ banner link to defconpics from https to http. Fixed!

Thanks user!

Post Defcon 17 Wrap-up has not had new activity for 2-3 weeks. It has been closed for new posting.

It will be archived in 1 or 2 weeks to the past defcon content.

I'll turn off the DH requirement and watch logs to see if there are less errors.. if not I'll switch back on SSL 3.

Whew. Works now.

So strange because TLS 1 has been around for almost a decade!

You are funny. Microsoft has been around much longer. Standards? Hah!

Thanks for fixing it, though.

Please. Put it back. Pretty please?

Forum SSL tweaks:

After playing around with Ivan's great SSL Tools site I decided to disable SSL v.3 support, leaving only TLS support, as well as now requiring DH key exchanges and a minimum key length of 168 bits.

If you are reading this it must still be working for you!

Works for FireFox 3.55. Fails on IE 8.

Confirmed, same thing happens for me.

It took me five minutes to find a browser I could use. This might not have been the very best choice you could have made. So far, it's only been IE 7 that was broken, but on three different machines (I don't have 6, and haven't installed 8).

Edit: TLS is enabled, but it appears that IE 8 only supports a key length of 128.
