Promoting Linux In India
by Parimal B. Shah 17 Apr '02

17 Apr '02

I don't seem to fathom the fixation of comparing Desktops? To put it very simply Desktops are for personal users! In govt / educations / business uses the stress should be on purpose built applications. There is no need for fancy desktops! MS is a PERSONAL COMPUTER user (CONSUMER) oriented product. I have seen friends and colleagues buying upgrading their pcs just so that they can talk about it with your friends / colleagues who have just got it. Its like your wife demanding a fully loaded BMW to drop the child to the school just because your neighbour does it in her fully loaded MERC!! It the MO thing, MO GRAPHICS, MO MULTIMEDIA, MO MONEY ....... I bet 90% of the users don't use 90% of its features. Specially in case of India S/w for govt / education / etc it should be no - nonsense, no frills attached, lean and trim and think Linux fits the bill. Parimal Shah

Promoting Linux
by Darshan.Wakchaure＠lntinfotech.com 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hi, A little more from my side too. Linux is/should be treated just like anyother Desktop OS. Like Unix and Windows , Linux can be made as a server with much more flexible environment . At the same time this OS has more more power as a Desktop OS as compared to any other operating system in the market. The strength lies in understanding and working with the utilities provided by the open source community. These are simple marvellous. Also the graphics resolution on the desktop of this os is far better than Windows. Linux gives the feel of Unix and the easy of Windows- a perfect os. Cheers, Darshan The trouble with life is, you're half way through it before you realize it's a "do it yourself" thing. =========================== _\ /_ mail-me-at : darshanw(a)blackcodemail.com / \ ===========================

Hi It is really good to know that out government is willing to promote linux , it will be really good idea to push this at extreme level so no doubt can cause this idea a premature death. Here I have some points to raise my voice for, and they are as we should not make any point which make this operating system is nice for email,firewall and proxy...etc. specific as I have seen lots of people use linux for this purpose so my request to all of you is dont try to prove that by doing this we can save lots of money because we know that this true but on other side you are doing injustice to all open source developers who have put their efforts for porting other application and this full scal os limits to one corner. So moral of story please come out of this mind frame that this is all linux can do. There are lot many things that can be done. So keep vary general attitude and try to justify it commercially as well as technical aspect of the operating system, I mean limitation of other operating system, commercial and technical comparison chart and availability. I will defiantly like to write some article on this issue but that will take some time so till then you people can contribute lots . Happy usage of linux. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Hey Keyur - This is my 2pence - (subject to critical review of the grp :)) Im sorry for the late reply, though, man - Under the heading Demand profile segments - Education - Competent training in the academia demands the availability of wide range of resources. These resources need to be in the form of example source code, Workable Systems, whose internals can be studied. As an example, Many US universities, have switched from Unix based classes in Operating Systems to Linux and GNU - Based OS, because of the free availability of source code and the opportunity for students to experiment with a reconfigurable system. Students in many Indian universities and colleges too are demanding the prescence of such reconfigurable labs in their premises. If there is official coursework that enables them to use such resources, it would be a great help. Linux and GNU - Software provides to the academia an excellent platform to test their skills, learn and apply them to real-time situations. The usage of GNU - based software in scientific fields like Supercomputing, Image Processing, AI, and other related fileds is already very widespread - it only to be identified. Most of the toolboxes developed by US university labs (and other universities too) includes OSC s/w. Support for OSC is not just in the form of company-based support as in proprietory s/w like windows. Due to the OSC nature of the s/w resources, A large number of user and help groups are available online. This takes education out of the classroom - Making knowledge widely available and affordable. Usage of Linux in the academia is not something that needs numbers to prove itself. It is pure common sense - The academia needs the most information and knowledge it can get - and OSC provides at every student the support, help and encouragement of thousands of OSC programmers all over the world. Need we say more? Hey yes - forgot to add - Lets see a non-OSC s/w do its' thing like OSC s/w does on a REALLY old machine - OSC software exists that can run on very basic systems - Very cheap systems could be of great use to educational organizations. This will enable even wider reach of resources at a lower cost. Action Plan - Introduce Linux and OSC based s/w as a defacto standard in Indian educational institutes. Developing coursework that encourages students to use such systems, and more importantly, learn how such systems are different from non-OSC systems. Encourage the use and development of re-distributable toolboxes among research organizations. Enjoy!!!!

Yes IPs are static but NOT valid. I think you mean valid and not static. Btw I dont think different subnet is required as far as I can route IP packets to VPN interface. The problem is I dont have control over gateways(who masquerade my packets) so I cannot setup simple forwarding to VPN. Amish.

Hmm.. if they're using libcrypto then I suppose it should be possible to trace it and break the protocol... basically catch the stuff before it gets hashed! Could you send me details of your analysis? Since Yahoo's been deliberately trying to kill clones, I'd assumed they'd used some kinda statically linked crypto functions... something fairly trivial to do.

Getting the yahoo protocol - updates and request for help
by Philip S Tellis 13 Apr '02

13 Apr '02

Ok, for those who've been following the thread, here's an update from my side. NOTE: Throughout this explanation, ctx, ctx1, ctx2, ctx3 ... are md5 contexts, final and final2 are md5 data arrays (unsigned char[16]) the same variable name refers to the same variable always ie, scope of variables is this mail. 1. Yahoo uses the exact same algorithm as pam does to generate MD5 passwords. You can get the source for this from the pam package. Look in modules/pam_unix/md5_crypt.c:MD5Name(crypt_md5)() There is only one minor change that does not affect the outcome of the code, and that is the calls to MD5_Update with ctx1 happen before the calls to MD5_Update with ctx (if you see the code, it'll make more sense, or I can explain then). 2. There are four more calls to the MD5 library. The first does this: MD5_Init(&ctx2); MD5_Update(&ctx2, passwd, strlen(passwd)); MD5_Final(final2, &ctx2); MD5_Init(&ctx3); MD5_Update(&ctx3, str, strlen(str)); MD5_Final(final2, &ctx3); str is obtained by appending/prepending something to the username. That something is 49 bytes in length. The last two calls are: MD5_Init(&ctx4); MD5_Update(&ctx4, str2, strlen(str2)); MD5_Final(final2, &ctx4); MD5_Init(&ctx5); MD5_Update(&ctx5, str3, strlen(str3)); MD5_Final(final2, &ctx5); str3 is also derived from the username, again with a 49 byte string appended/prepended to it. str2 seems to be 34 characters in length always. This data was obtained through statistical analysis of function calls. We still haven't determined what the actual contents of str, str2, str3 or the salt are. Once we have this, I believe we will have cracked it completely. If anyone wants to figure it out, you have to somehow get the data that's being passed to MD5_Update. The first call is the password, the second call is with str. You need to figure out how str is derived. The next three calls are password, magic ($1$ I think), salt (8 chars). The next three are password, salt, password. Try and figure out how salt is derived, and if magic is different from $1$, what is it? Is it constant across calls? Then, look at the last two calls to MD5_Update - calls number 3536 and 3537. No 3536 seems to be constant, but someone will have to confirm this. No 3537 is derived from the username. Figure out how.

Hi, > What do you think we're trying to do? The official yahoo client uses an > MD5 Challenge/Response pair that is near impossible to crack. I don't know anything about the Yahoo protocol etc. But speaking from a purely cryptographic stand point, this protocol necessarily has to be crackable. In the absence of an external key (i.e. one entered by the user) there is no way to prevent one program from imitating another. However, it can be immune to a passive attack, i.e. simply listening to communications go back and forth. To break it one would need to reverse-engineer the Yahoo program. > If you can, please help.

-----Forwarded Message----- From: Dr Deepak B Phatak <dbp(a)it.iitb.ac.in> To: all(a)it.iitb.ac.in, faculty(a)cse.iitb.ac.in Subject: GNU/Linux Indianization Date: 06 Apr 2002 02:08:36 +0530 Dear ALL With regard to this important topic, an event is being organized in KReSIT on 9th April. I have given the details in the enclosed write up. Those of you interested in this work are most welcome. Equally important is to ensure that enthusiastic students interested in this area should also participate. But I have no direct way to reach them in this short time. Could I therefore request you to forward this mail to students of your department. Also, I would like to request LUG member(s) from KReSIT to advertise this event amongst the GNU/Linux community. Thanks - dbp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Currently, there is a lack of a good software system which can handle Indian languages. There are a few Multi-lingual office productivity tools. But this is far from the full range of tools that make a computer useful. Till now, work in this field has involved disparate groups, working in isolation, developing closed products. These products have not gained popularity, and lack inter-operability. Since most of the products developed today are closed source, we cannot modify them to support all the functionality required by computers to work comfortably in and with Indian Languages. We believe that the solution lies in Free Software, like GNU/Linux, which can be customized to support Indian languages. Free Software has the advantage of outliving any one team of developers, and of collaborative development, where people build on each other's strengths to arrive at a superior product. This effort will gift us with our own operating system, capable of dealing with Indian languages, and guarantee our freedom of use. >From various discussions with Dr Mudur, I have come to realize that Indian languages are immensely difficult to represent on computers, since they are phonetic, and not linear (like English). Yet, it is widely believed that the problem is not of a technical nature but a project management failure. There is enough talent in India to give us an Indian Language UNIX, one which can finally take computing to the masses. To initiate some concerted action in this direction, the School of IT proposes to organize a short talk (as per schedule below) followed by a discussion. The talk will cover the basic issues in localization, and what is the current status of Indianization in GNU/Linux. We also plan to collect details and status of as many efforts as can be culled out from the audience. This, of course, would be an on going process. Venue: 3rd floor classroom, KReSIT, IIT Bombay. Day and Date: Tuesday, 9th April Time: 16:00 Hrs. ALL INTERESTED, irrespective of department and Institutional affiliations are most welcome to participate. To permit effective handling of logistics concerning tea and snacks, I request to send an email with subject "will attend on 9th" (message text may be just blank) to any one of the following: sameerds(a)it.iitb.ac.in vikram(a)mayin.org dbp(a)it.iitb.ac.in Thanks - Deepak ---------------------------------------------- Dr. Deepak B Phatak Subrao Nilekani Chair & Head Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Mumbai 400 076, India Phone: (Off) +91 22 5767900/01/02 (Res) +91 22 5768747, 5724611 Fax: +91 22 5720022, 5723480 email: dbp(a)it.iitb.ac.in ---------------------------------------------- -- MTech Student, Reconfigurable Computing Lab, Hostel 2, Room 76 KReSIT, IIT-Bombay.
