Coverity is a nice tool to -find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code -analysis. It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very -useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of -the source. The company behind it provide -check of free software projects as -a community service, and many hundred free software projects are -already checked. A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at -the Coverity system, and discovered that the -gnash and -ipmitool -projects I am involved with was already registered. But these are -fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to -check, and decided to request -checking of the chrpath project. It was -added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects. Six of -these were real, mostly resource "leak" when the program detected an -error. Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction -of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it -is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in -the future end up in a library. Having fixed all defects and added -a -mailing list for the chrpath developers, I decided it was time to -publish a new release. These are the release notes:

- -

New in 0.16 released 2014-01-14:

- -

Fixed all minor bugs discovered by Coverity.
Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project.
Mention new project mailing list in the documentation.

- -

You can -download the -new version 0.16 from alioth. Please let us know via the Alioth -project if something is wrong with the new release. The test suite -did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also -include a test suite check.

Simpler recipe on how to make a simple $7 IMSI Catcher using Debian

9th August 2017

On friday, I came across an interesting article in the Norwegian +web based ICT news magazine digi.no on +how +to collect the IMSI numbers of nearby cell phones using the cheap +DVB-T software defined radios. The article refered to instructions +and a recipe by +Keld Norman on Youtube on how to make a simple $7 IMSI Catcher, and I decided to test them out.

+ +

The instructions said to use Ubuntu, install pip using apt (to +bypass apt), use pip to install pybombs (to bypass both apt and pip), +and the ask pybombs to fetch and build everything you need from +scratch. I wanted to see if I could do the same on the most recent +Debian packages, but this did not work because pybombs tried to build +stuff that no longer build with the most recent openssl library or +some other version skew problem. While trying to get this recipe +working, I learned that the apt->pip->pybombs route was a long detour, +and the only piece of software dependency missing in Debian was the +gr-gsm package. I also found out that the lead upstream developer of +gr-gsm (the name stand for GNU Radio GSM) project already had a set of +Debian packages provided in an Ubuntu PPA repository. All I needed to +do was to dget the Debian source package and built it.

+ +

The IMSI collector is a python script listening for packages on the +loopback network device and printing to the terminal some specific GSM +packages with IMSI numbers in them. The code is fairly short and easy +to understand. The reason this work is because gr-gsm include a tool +to read GSM data from a software defined radio like a DVB-T USB stick +and other software defined radios, decode them and inject them into a +network device on your Linux machine (using the loopback device by +default). This proved to work just fine, and I've been testing the +collector for a few days now.

+ +

The updated and simpler recipe is thus to

+ +

start with a Debian machine running Stretch or newer,
build and install the gr-gsm package available from +http://ppa.launchpad.net/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gr-gsm/,
clone the git repostory from https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher,
run grgsm_livemon and adjust the frequency until the terminal +where it was started is filled with a stream of text (meaning you +found a GSM station).
go into the IMSI-catcher directory and run 'sudo python simple_IMSI-catcher.py' to extract the IMSI numbers.

+ +

To make it even easier in the future to get this sniffer up and +running, I decided to package +the gr-gsm project +for Debian (WNPP +#871055), and the package was uploaded into the NEW queue today. +Luckily the gnuradio maintainer has promised to help me, as I do not +know much about gnuradio stuff yet.

+ +

I doubt this "IMSI cacher" is anywhere near as powerfull as +commercial tools like +The +Spy Phone Portable IMSI / IMEI Catcher or the +Harris +Stingray, but I hope the existance of cheap alternatives can make +more people realise how their whereabouts when carrying a cell phone +is easily tracked. Seeing the data flow on the screen, realizing that +I live close to a police station and knowing that the police is also +wearing cell phones, I wonder how hard it would be for criminals to +track the position of the police officers to discover when there are +police near by, or for foreign military forces to track the location +of the Norwegian military forces, or for anyone to track the location +of government officials...

+ +

It is worth noting that the data reported by the IMSI-catcher +script mentioned above is only a fraction of the data broadcasted on +the GSM network. It will only collect one frequency at the time, +while a typical phone will be using several frequencies, and not all +phones will be using the frequencies tracked by the grgsm_livemod +program. Also, there is a lot of radio chatter being ignored by the +simple_IMSI-catcher script, which would be collected by extending the +parser code. I wonder if gr-gsm can be set up to listen to more than +one frequency?

Debian Edu interview: Dominik George

25th December 2013

The Debian Edu / Skolelinux -project consist of both newcomers and old timers, and this time I -was able to get an interview with a newcomer in the project who showed -up on the IRC channel a few weeks ago to let us know about his -successful installation of Debian Edu Wheezy in his School. Say hello -to Dominik -George.

- - - -

Who are you, and how do you spend your days?

- -

I am a 23 year-old student from Germany who has spent half of his -life with open source. In "real life", I am, as already mentioned, a -student in the fields of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, -Information Technologies and Anglistics. Due to my (only partially -voluntary) huge engagement in the open source world, these things are -a bit vacant right now however.

- -

I also have been working as a project teacher at a Gymasnium -(public school) for various years now. I took up that work some time -around 2005 when still attending that school myself and have continued -it until today. I also had been running the (kind of very advanced) -network of that school together with a team of very interested and -talented students in the age of 11 to 15 years, who took the chance to -learn a lot about open source and networking before I left the school -to help building another school's informational education concept from -scratch.

- -

That said, one might see me as a kind of "glue" between school kids -and the elderly of teachers as well as between the open source -ecosystem and the (even more complex) educational ecosystem.

- -

When I am not busy with open source or education, I like Geocaching -and cycling.

- -

How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu -project?

- -

I think that happened some time around 2009 when I first attended -FrOSCon and visited the project -booth. I think I wasn't too interested back then because I used to -have an attitude of disliking software that does too much stuff on its -own. Maybe I was too inexperienced to realise the upsides of an -"out-of-the-box" solution ;).

- -

The first time I actively talked to Skolelinux people was at -OpenRheinRuhr 2011 when the -BiscuIT project, a home-grewn software used by my school for various -really cool things from timetables and class contact lists to lunch -ordering, student ID card printing and project elections first got to -a stage where it could have been published. I asked the Skolelinux -guys running the booth if the project were interested in it and gave a -small demonstration, but there wasn't any real feedback and the guys -seemed rather uninterested.

- -

After I left the school where I developed the software, it got -mostly lost, but I am now reimplementing it for my new school. I have -reusability and compatibility in mind, and I hop there will be a new -basis for contributing it to the Skolelinux project ;)!

- -

What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian -Edu?

- -

The most important advantage seems to be that it "just -works". After overcoming some minor (but still very annoying) glitches -in the installer, I got a fully functional, working school network, -without the month-long hassle I experienced when setting all that up -from scratch in earlier years. And above that, it rocked - I didn't -have any real hardware at hand, because the school was just founded -and has no money whatsoever, so I installed a combined server (main -server, terminal services and workstation) in a VM on my personal -notebook, bridging the LTSP network interface to the ethernet port, -and then PXE-booted the Windows notebooks that were lying around from -it. I could use 8 clients without any performance issues, by using a -tiny little VM on a tiny little notebook. I think that's enough to say -that it rocks!

- -

Secondly, there are marketing reasons. Life's bad, and so no -politician will ever permit a setup described as "Debian, an universal -operating system, with some really cool educational tools" while they -will be jsut fine with "Skolelinux, a single-purpose solution for your -school network", even if both turn out to be the very same thing (yes, -this is unfair towards the Skolelinux project, and must not be taken -too seriously - you get the idea, anyway).

- -

What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian -Edu?

- -

I have not been involved with Skolelinux long enough to really -answer this question in a fair way. Thus, please allow me to put it in -other words: "What do you expect from Skolelinux to keep liking it?" I -can list a few points about that:

- -

always strive to get all things integrated into Debian upstream -
be open to discussion about changes and the like, even with newcomers -
be helpful at being helpful ;) - -

- -

I'm really sorry I cannot say much more about that :(!

- -

Which free software do you use daily?

- -

First of all, all software I use is free and open. I have abandoned -all non-free software (except for firmware on my darned phone) this -year.

- -

I run Debian GNU/Linux on all PC systems I use. On that, I mostly -run text tools. I use -mksh as shell, -jupp as very advanced -text editor (I even got the developer to help me write a script/macro -based full-featured student management software with the two), -mcabber for XMPP and -irssi for IRC. For that overly -coloured world called the WWW, I use -Iceweasel -(Firefox). Oh, and mutt for -e-mail.

- -

However, while I am personally aware of the fact that text tools -are more efficient and powerful than anything else, I also use (or at -least operate) some tools that are suitable to bring open source to -kids. One of these things is Jappix, -which I already introduced to some kids even before they got aware of -Facebook, making them see for themselves that they do not need -Facebook now ;).

- -

Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to -get schools to use free software?

- -

Well, that's a two-sided thing. One side is what I believe, and one -side is what I have experienced.

- -

I believe that the right strategy is showing them the benefits. But -that won't work out as long as the acceptance of free alternatives -grows globally. What I mean is that if all the kids are almost forced -to use Windows, Facebook, Skype, you name it at home, they will not -see why they would want to use alternatives at school. I have seen -students take seat in front of a fully-functional, modern Debian -desktop that could do anything their Windows at home could do, and -they jsut refused to use it because "Linux sucks". It is something -that makes the council of our city spend around 600000 â¬ to buy -software - not including hardware, mind you - for operating school -networks, and for installing a system that, as has been proved, does -not work. For those of you readers who are good at maths, have you -already found out how many lives could have been saved with that money -if we had instead used it to bring education to parts of the world -that need it? I have, and found it to be nothing less dramatic than -plain criminal.

- -

That said, the only feasible way appears to be the bottom up -method. We have to bring free software to kids and parents. I have -founded an association named -Teckids here in Germany that does -just that. We organise several events for kids and adolescents in the -area of free and open source software, for example the -FrogLabs, which share staff with -Teckids and are the youth programme of -the Free and Open Source Software -Conference (FrOSCon). We do a lot more than most other conferences -- this year, we first offered the FrogLabs as a holiday camp for kids -aged 10 to 16. It was a huge success, with approx. 30 kids taking part -and learning with and about free software through a whole weekend. All -of us had a lot of fun, and the results were really exciting.

- -

Apart from that, we are preparing a campaign that is supposed to bring -the message of free alternatives to stuff kids use every day to them and -their parents, e.g. the use of Jabber / Jappix instead of Facebook and -Skype. To make that possible, we are planning to get together a team of -clever kids who understand very well what their peers need and can bring -it across to them. So we will have a peer-driven network of adolescents -who teach each other and collect feedback from the community of minors. -We then take that feedback and our own experience to work closely with -open source projects, such as Skolelinux or Jappix, at improving their -software in a way that makes it more and more attractive for the target -group. At least I hope that we will have good cooperation with -Skolelinux in the future ;)!

- -

So in conclusion, what I believe is that, if it weren't for the world -being so bad, it should be very clear to the political decision makers -that the only way to go nowadays is free software for various reasons, -but I have learnt that the only way that seems to work is bottom up.

Â«Rapporten ser ikke pÃ¥ informasjonssikkerhet knyttet til personlig integritetÂ»

27th June 2017

Jeg kom over teksten +Â«Killing +car privacy by federal mandateÂ» av Leonid Reyzin pÃ¥ Freedom to +Tinker i dag, og det gleder meg Ã¥ se en god gjennomgang om hvorfor det +er et urimelig inngrep i privatsfÃ¦ren Ã¥ la alle biler kringkaste sin +posisjon og bevegelse via radio. Det omtalte forslaget basert pÃ¥ +Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) kalles Basic Safety Message +(BSM) i USA og Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) i Europa, og det +norske Vegvesenet er en av de som ser ut til Ã¥ kunne tenke seg Ã¥ +pÃ¥legge alle biler Ã¥ fjerne nok en bit av innbyggernes privatsfÃ¦re. +Anbefaler alle Ã¥ lese det som stÃ¥r der. + +

Mens jeg tittet litt pÃ¥ DSRC pÃ¥ biler i Norge kom jeg over et sitat +jeg synes er illustrativt for hvordan det offentlige Norge hÃ¥ndterer +problemstillinger rundt innbyggernes privatsfÃ¦re i SINTEF-rapporten +Â«Informasjonssikkerhet +i AutoPASS-brikkerÂ» av Trond Foss:

+Â«Rapporten ser ikke pÃ¥ informasjonssikkerhet knyttet til personlig + integritet.Â» +

Det er jo sjelden det fÃ¥r reaksjoner. Historien om +reaksjonene pÃ¥ Helse SÃ¸r-Ãsts tjenesteutsetting er jo sÃ¸rgelig nok et +unntak og toppen av isfjellet, desverre. Tror jeg fortsatt takker nei +til bÃ¥de AutoPASS og holder meg sÃ¥ langt unna det norske helsevesenet +som jeg kan, inntil de har demonstrert og dokumentert at de verdsetter +individets privatsfÃ¦re og personlige integritet hÃ¸yere enn kortsiktig +gevist og samfunnsnytte.

Debian Edu interview: Klaus Knopper

6th December 2013

It has been a while since I managed to publish the last interview, -but the Debian Edu / -Skolelinux community is still going strong, and yesterday we even -had a new school administrator show up on -#debian-edu to share -his success story with installing Debian Edu at their school. This -time I have been able to get some helpful comments from the creator of -Knoppix, Klaus Knopper, who was involved in a Skolelinux project in -Germany a few years ago.

- -

Who are you, and how do you spend your days?

- -

I am Klaus Knopper. I have a master degree in electrical -engineering, and is currently professor in information management at -the university of applied sciences Kaiserslautern / Germany and -freelance Open Source software developer and consultant.

- -

All of this is pretty much of the work I spend my days with. Apart -from teaching, I'm also conducting some more or less experimental -projects like the Knoppix GNU/Linux live -system (Debian-based like Skolelinux), -ADRIANE -(a blind-friendly talking desktop system) and -LINBO -(Linux-based network boot console, a fast remote install and repair -system supporting various operating systems).

- -

How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu -project?

- -

The credit for this have to go to Kurt Gramlich, who is the German -coordinator for Skolelinux. We were looking for an all-in-one open -source community-supported distribution for schools, and Kurt -introduced us to Skolelinux for this purpose.

- -

What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian -Edu?

- -

Quick installation,
works (almost) out of the box,
contains many useful software packages for teaching and learning,
is a purely community-based distro and not controlled by a - single company,
has a large number of supporters and teachers who share their - experience and problem solutions.

- -

What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian -Edu?

- -

Skolelinux is - as we had to learn - not easily upgradable to - the next version. Opposed to its genuine Debian base, upgrading to - a new version means a full new installation from scratch to get it - working again reliably. - -
Skolelinux is based on Debian/stable, and therefore always a - little outdated in terms of program versions compared to Edubuntu or - similar educational Linux distros, which rather use Debian/testing - as their base. - -
Skolelinux has some very self-opinionated and stubborn default - configuration which in my opinion adds unnecessary complexity and is - not always suitable for a schools needs, the preset network - configuration is actually a core definition feature of Skolelinux - and not easy to change, so schools sometimes have to change their - network configuration to make it "Skolelinux-compatible". - -
Some proposed extensions, which were made available as - contribution, like secure examination mode and lecture material - distribution and collection, were not accepted into the mainline - Skolelinux development and are now not easy to maintain in the - future because of Skolelinux somewhat undeterministic update - schemes.
Skolelinux has only a very tiny number of base developers - compared to Debian.

- -

For these reasons and experience from our project, I would now -rather consider using plain Debian for schools next time, until -Skolelinux is more closely integrated into Debian and becomes -upgradeable without reinstallation.

- -

Which free software do you use daily?

- -

GNU/Linux with LXDE desktop, bash for interactive dialog and -programming, texlive for documentation and correspondence, -occasionally LibreOffice for document format conversion. Various -programming languages for teaching.

- -

Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to -get schools to use free software?

- -

Strong arguments are

- -

Knowledge is free, and so should be methods and tools for - teaching and learning.
Students can learn with and use the same software at school, at - home, and at their working place without running into license or - conversion problems.
Closed source or proprietary software hides knowledge rather - than exposing it, and proprietary software vendors try to bind - customers to certain products. But teachers need to teach - science, not products.
If you have everything you for daily work as open source, what - would you need proprietary software for?

Idea for storing trusted timestamps in a Noark 5 archive

7th June 2017

This is a copy of +an +email I posted to the nikita-noark mailing list. Please follow up +there if you would like to discuss this topic. The background is that +we are making a free software archive system based on the Norwegian +Noark +5 standard for government archives.

+ +

I've been wondering a bit lately how trusted timestamps could be +stored in Noark 5. +Trusted +timestamps can be used to verify that some information +(document/file/checksum/metadata) have not been changed since a +specific time in the past. This is useful to verify the integrity of +the documents in the archive.

+ +

Then it occured to me, perhaps the trusted timestamps could be +stored as dokument variants (ie dokumentobjekt referered to from +dokumentbeskrivelse) with the filename set to the hash it is +stamping?

+ +

Given a "dokumentbeskrivelse" with an associated "dokumentobjekt", +a new dokumentobjekt is associated with "dokumentbeskrivelse" with the +same attributes as the stamped dokumentobjekt except these +attributes:

Prosjektledelsen har fortalt at dette skal fungere like godt for -Linux-brukere som for brukere av Microsoft Windows og Apple MacOSX, -men jeg lurer pÃ¥ hva slags erfaringer Linux-brukere i eksisterende -miljÃ¸er som bruker MS Exchange har gjort. Hvis du har slik erfaring -hadet det vÃ¦rt veldig fint om du kan send et leserbrev til -Uniforum og fortelle om hvor -greit det er Ã¥ bruke Exchange i kryss-platform-miljÃ¸er? De jeg har -snakket med sier en greit fÃ¥r lest e-posten sin hvis Exchange har -slÃ¥tt pÃ¥ IMAP-funksjonalitet, men at kalender og mÃ¸tebooking ikke -fungerer godt for Linux-klienter. Jeg har ingen personlig erfaring Ã¥ -komme med, sÃ¥ jeg er nysgjerrig pÃ¥ hva andre kan dele av erfaringer -med universitetet.

Mitt ankerpunkt mot Ã¥ bytte ut fri programvare som fungerer godt -med godseid programvare er at en mister kontroll over egen -infrastruktur, lÃ¥ser seg inn i en lÃ¸sning det vil bli dyrt Ã¥ komme ut -av, uten at en fÃ¥r funksjonalitet en ikke kunne skaffet seg med fri -programvare, eventuelt videreutviklet med de pengene som brukes pÃ¥ -overgangen til MS Exchange. Personlig planlegger jeg Ã¥ fortsette Ã¥ -laste ned all eposten min til lokal maskin for indeksering og lesing -med notmuch, sÃ¥ jeg hÃ¥per jeg -ikke blir veldig skadelidende av overgangen.

This assume a service following +IETF RFC 3161 is +used, which specifiy the given MIME type for replies and the .tsr file +ending for the content of such trusted timestamp. As far as I can +tell from the Noark 5 specifications, it is OK to have several +variants/renderings of a dokument attached to a given +dokumentbeskrivelse objekt. It might be stretching it a bit to make +some of these variants represent crypto-signatures useful for +verifying the document integrity instead of representing the dokument +itself.

+ +

Using the source of the service in formatDetaljer allow several +timestamping services to be used. This is useful to spread the risk +of key compromise over several organisations. It would only be a +problem to trust the timestamps if all of the organisations are +compromised.

+ +

The following oneliner on Linux can be used to generate the tsr +file. $input is the path to the file to checksum, and $sha256 is the +SHA-256 checksum of the file (ie the ".tsr" value mentioned +above).

+ +

+openssl ts -query -data "$inputfile" -cert -sha256 -no_nonce \
+  | curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/timestamp-query" \
+      --data-binary "@-" http://zeitstempel.dfn.de > $sha256.tsr
+

+ +

To verify the timestamp, you first need to download the public key +of the trusted timestamp service, for example using this command:

+ +

+wget -O ca-cert.txt \
+  https://pki.pca.dfn.de/global-services-ca/pub/cacert/chain.txt
+

+ +

Note, the public key should be stored alongside the timestamps in +the archive to make sure it is also available 100 years from now. It +is probably a good idea to standardise how and were to store such +public keys, to make it easier to find for those trying to verify +documents 100 or 1000 years from now. :)

+ +

The verification itself is a simple openssl command:

+ +

+openssl ts -verify -data $inputfile -in $sha256.tsr \
+  -CAfile ca-cert.txt -text
+

+ +

Is there any reason this approach would not work? Is it somehow against +the Noark 5 specification?

New chrpath release 0.15

24th November 2013

After many years break from the package and a vain hope that -development would be continued by someone else, I finally pulled my -acts together this morning and wrapped up a new release of chrpath, -the command line tool to modify the rpath and runpath of already -compiled ELF programs. The update was triggered by the persistence of -Isha Vishnoi at IBM, which needed a new config.guess file to get -support for the ppc64le architecture (powerpc 64-bit Little Endian) he -is working on. I checked the -Debian, -Ubuntu and -Fedora -packages for interesting patches (failed to find the source from -OpenSUSE and Mandriva packages), and found quite a few nice fixes. -These are the release notes:

RSS-kilde for fritekstsÃ¸k i offentlige anbud hos Doffin

22nd November 2013

I fjor sommer lagde jeg en -offentlig -tilgjengelig SQL-database over offentlig anbud basert pÃ¥ skraping -av HTML-data fra Doffin. Den har stÃ¥tt og gÃ¥tt siden da, og har nÃ¥ -ca. 28000 oppfÃ¸ringer. Jeg oppdaget da jeg tittet innom at noen -oppfÃ¸ringer var ikke blitt med, antagelig pÃ¥ grunn av at de fikk -tildelt sekvensnummer i Doffin en godt stund fÃ¸r de ble publisert, -slik at min nettsideskraper som fortsatte skrapingen der den slapp -sist ikke fikk dem med seg. Jeg har fikset litt slik at skraperen nÃ¥ -ser litt tilbake i tid for Ã¥ se om den har gÃ¥tt glipp av noen -oppfÃ¸ringer, og har skrapet pÃ¥ nytt fra midten av september 2013 og -fremover. Det bÃ¸r dermed bli en mer komplett database for kommende -mÃ¥neder. Hvis jeg fÃ¥r tid skal jeg forsÃ¸ke Ã¥ skrape "glemte" data fra -fÃ¸r midten av september 2013, men tÃ¸r ikke garantere at det blir -prioritert med det fÃ¸rste.

- -

Men mÃ¥let med denne bloggposten er Ã¥ vise hvordan denne -Doffin-databasen kan brukes og integreres med en RSS-leser, slik at en -kan la datamaskinen holde et Ã¸ye med Doffin-annonseringer etter -nÃ¸kkelord. En kan lage sitt eget sÃ¸k ved Ã¥ besÃ¸ke -API-et -hos Scraperwiki, velge format rss2 og sÃ¥ legge inn noe ala dette i -"query in SQL":

- -

-select title, scrapedurl as link, abstract as description,
-       publishdate as pubDate from 'swdata'
-   where abstract like '%linux%' or title like '%linux%'
-   order by seq desc limit 20
-

- -

Dette vil sÃ¸ke opp alle anbud med ordet linux i oppsummering eller -tittel. En kan lage mer avanserte sÃ¸k hvis en Ã¸nsker det. URL-en som -dukker opp nederst pÃ¥ siden kan en sÃ¥ gi til sin RSS-leser (jeg bruker -akregator selv), og sÃ¥ automatisk fÃ¥ beskjed hvis det dukker opp anbud -med det aktuelle nÃ¸kkelordet i teksten. Merk at kapasiteten og -ytelsen hos Scraperwiki er begrenset, sÃ¥ ikke be RSS-leseren hente ned -oftere enn en gang hver dag.

- -

Du lurer kanskje pÃ¥ hva slags informasjon en kan fÃ¥ ut fra denne -databasen. Her er to RSS-kilder, med sÃ¸keordet -"linux", -sÃ¸keordet -"fri -programvare" -og sÃ¸keordet -"odf". -Det er bare Ã¥ sÃ¸ke pÃ¥ det en er interessert i. Kopier gjerne -datasettet og sett opp din egen tjeneste hvis du vil gjÃ¸re mer -avanserte sÃ¸k. SQLite-filen med Doffin-oppfÃ¸ringer kan lastes med fra -Scraperwiki for de som vil grave dypere.

Epost inn som arkivformat i Riksarkivarens forskrift?

27th April 2017

I disse dager, med frist 1. mai, har Riksarkivaren ute en hÃ¸ring pÃ¥ +sin forskrift. Som en kan se er det ikke mye tid igjen fÃ¸r fristen +som gÃ¥r ut pÃ¥ sÃ¸ndag. Denne forskriften er det som lister opp hvilke +formater det er greit Ã¥ arkivere i +Noark +5-lÃ¸sninger i Norge.

+ +

Jeg fant hÃ¸ringsdokumentene hos +Norsk +ArkivrÃ¥d etter Ã¥ ha blitt tipset pÃ¥ epostlisten til +fri +programvareprosjektet Nikita Noark5-Core, som lager et Noark 5 +Tjenestegresesnitt. Jeg er involvert i Nikita-prosjektet og takket +vÃ¦re min interesse for tjenestegrensesnittsprosjektet har jeg lest en +god del Noark 5-relaterte dokumenter, og til min overraskelse oppdaget +at standard epost ikke er pÃ¥ listen over godkjente formater som kan +arkiveres. HÃ¸ringen med frist sÃ¸ndag er en glimrende mulighet til Ã¥ +forsÃ¸ke Ã¥ gjÃ¸re noe med det. Jeg holder pÃ¥ med +egen +hÃ¸ringsuttalelse, og lurer pÃ¥ om andre er interessert i Ã¥ stÃ¸tte +forslaget om Ã¥ tillate arkivering av epost som epost i arkivet.

+ +

Er du igang med Ã¥ skrive egen hÃ¸ringsuttalelse allerede? I sÃ¥ fall +kan du jo vurdere Ã¥ ta med en formulering om epost-lagring. Jeg tror +ikke det trengs sÃ¥ mye. Her et kort forslag til tekst:

+ +

+ +
Viser til hÃ¸ring sendt ut 2017-02-17 (Riksarkivarens referanse + 2016/9840 HELHJO), og tillater oss Ã¥ sende inn noen innspill om + revisjon av Forskrift om utfyllende tekniske og arkivfaglige + bestemmelser om behandling av offentlige arkiver (Riksarkivarens + forskrift).
+ +
SvÃ¦rt mye av vÃ¥r kommuikasjon foregÃ¥r i dag pÃ¥ e-post.Â Vi + foreslÃ¥r derfor at Internett-e-post, slik det er beskrevet i IETF + RFC 5322, + https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322. bÃ¸r + inn som godkjent dokumentformat.Â Vi foreslÃ¥r at forskriftens + oversikt over godkjente dokumentformater ved innlevering i Â§ 5-16 + endres til Ã¥ ta med Internett-e-post.
+ +

+ +

Som del av arbeidet med tjenestegrensesnitt har vi testet hvordan +epost kan lagres i en Noark 5-struktur, og holder pÃ¥ Ã¥ skrive et +forslag om hvordan dette kan gjÃ¸res som vil bli sendt over til +arkivverket sÃ¥ snart det er ferdig. De som er interesserte kan +fÃ¸lge +fremdriften pÃ¥ web.

+ +

Oppdatering 2017-04-28: I dag ble hÃ¸ringuttalelsen jeg skrev + sendt + inn av foreningen NUUG.

All drones should be radio marked with what they do and who they belong to

21st November 2013

Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular. The most -know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder -people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair -trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and -forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue. I am sure it -is just a question of time before "bad drones" are in the hands of -private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals -too. The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous. To have -some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his -TED talk -"The kill -decision shouldn't belong to a robot", where he suggested this -little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:

- -

- -
Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed -I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement -through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on -aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to -download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous -vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and -historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones -to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their -own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their -presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic -drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.
- -
But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It -would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles -and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.
- -

- -

The key is that every citizen should be able to read the -radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check -both the government and others use of drones. For such control to be -effective, everyone must be able to do it. What should such beacon -contain? At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS -location. Probably also the origin and target position of the current -flight. And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up -the drone in a central database tracking their movement. Robots -should not have privacy. It is people who need privacy.

Offentlig elektronisk postjournal blokkerer tilgang for utvalgte webklienter

20th April 2017

Jeg oppdaget i dag at nettstedet som +publiserer offentlige postjournaler fra statlige etater, OEP, har +begynt Ã¥ blokkerer enkelte typer webklienter fra Ã¥ fÃ¥ tilgang. Vet +ikke hvor mange det gjelder, men det gjelder i hvert fall libwww-perl +og curl. For Ã¥ teste selv, kjÃ¸r fÃ¸lgende:

+ +

+% curl -v -s https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2>&1 |grep '< HTTP'
+< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
+% curl -v -s --header 'User-Agent:Opera/12.0' https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2>&1 |grep '< HTTP'
+< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+%
+

+ +

Her kan en se at tjenesten gir Â«404 Not FoundÂ» for curl i +standardoppsettet, mens den gir Â«200 OKÂ» hvis curl hevder Ã¥ vÃ¦re Opera +versjon 12.0. Offentlig elektronisk postjournal startet blokkeringen +2017-03-02.

+ +

Blokkeringen vil gjÃ¸re det litt vanskeligere Ã¥ maskinelt hente +informasjon fra oep.no. Kan blokkeringen vÃ¦re gjort for Ã¥ hindre +automatisert innsamling av informasjon fra OEP, slik Pressens +Offentlighetsutvalg gjorde for Ã¥ dokumentere hvordan departementene +hindrer innsyn i +rapporten +Â«Slik hindrer departementer innsynÂ» som ble publiserte i januar +2017. Det virker usannsynlig, da det jo er trivielt Ã¥ bytte +User-Agent til noe nytt.

+ +

Finnes det juridisk grunnlag for det offentlige Ã¥ diskriminere +webklienter slik det gjÃ¸res her? Der tilgang gis eller ikke alt etter +hva klienten sier at den heter? Da OEP eies av DIFI og driftes av +Basefarm, finnes det kanskje noen dokumenter sendt mellom disse to +aktÃ¸rene man kan be om innsyn i for Ã¥ forstÃ¥ hva som har skjedd. Men +postjournalen +til DIFI viser kun to dokumenter det siste Ã¥ret mellom DIFI og +Basefarm. +Mimes brÃ¸nn neste, +tenker jeg.

Free software archive system Nikita now able to store documents

19th March 2017

The Nikita +Noark 5 core project is implementing the Norwegian standard for +keeping an electronic archive of government documents. +The +Noark 5 standard document the requirement for data systems used by +the archives in the Norwegian government, and the Noark 5 web interface +specification document a REST web service for storing, searching and +retrieving documents and metadata in such archive. I've been involved +in the project since a few weeks before Christmas, when the Norwegian +Unix User Group +announced +it supported the project. I believe this is an important project, +and hope it can make it possible for the government archives in the +future to use free software to keep the archives we citizens depend +on. But as I do not hold such archive myself, personally my first use +case is to store and analyse public mail journal metadata published +from the government. I find it useful to have a clear use case in +mind when developing, to make sure the system scratches one of my +itches.

+ +

If you would like to help make sure there is a free software +alternatives for the archives, please join our IRC channel +(#nikita on +irc.freenode.net) and +the +project mailing list.

+ +

When I got involved, the web service could store metadata about +documents. But a few weeks ago, a new milestone was reached when it +became possible to store full text documents too. Yesterday, I +completed an implementation of a command line tool +archive-pdf to upload a PDF file to the archive using this +API. The tool is very simple at the moment, and find existing +fonds, series and +files while asking the user to select which one to use if more than +one exist. Once a file is identified, the PDF is associated with the +file and uploaded, using the title extracted from the PDF itself. The +process is fairly similar to visiting the archive, opening a cabinet, +locating a file and storing a piece of paper in the archive. Here is +a test run directly after populating the database with test data using +our API tester:

+ +

+~/src//noark5-tester$ ./archive-pdf mangelmelding/mangler.pdf
+using arkiv: Title of the test fonds created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+using arkivdel: Title of the test series created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+
+ 0 - Title of the test case file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+ 1 - Title of the test file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+Select which mappe you want (or search term): 0
+Uploading mangelmelding/mangler.pdf
+  PDF title: Mangler i spesifikasjonsdokumentet for NOARK 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt
+  File 2017/1: Title of the test case file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+~/src//noark5-tester$
+

+ +

You can see here how the fonds (arkiv) and serie (arkivdel) only had +one option, while the user need to choose which file (mappe) to use +among the two created by the API tester. The archive-pdf +tool can be found in the git repository for the API tester.

+ +

In the project, I have been mostly working on +the API +tester so far, while getting to know the code base. The API +tester currently use +the HATEOAS links +to traverse the entire exposed service API and verify that the exposed +operations and objects match the specification, as well as trying to +create objects holding metadata and uploading a simple XML file to +store. The tester has proved very useful for finding flaws in our +implementation, as well as flaws in the reference site and the +specification.

+ +

The test document I uploaded is a summary of all the specification +defects we have collected so far while implementing the web service. +There are several unclear and conflicting parts of the specification, +and we have +started +writing down the questions we get from implementing it. We use a +format inspired by how The +Austin Group collect defect reports for the POSIX standard with +their +instructions for the MANTIS defect tracker system, in lack of an official way to structure defect reports for Noark 5 (our first submitted defect report was a request for a procedure for submitting defect reports :). + +

The Nikita project is implemented using Java and Spring, and is +fairly easy to get up and running using Docker containers for those +that want to test the current code base. The API tester is +implemented in Python.
