That is a bit short-sighted, though. People can end up labled criminal without doing much of anything - plenty bad stories about that. Then there are folks with psychological issues - you can't blame somebody with a psychosis for what

Indeed. If homelessness would be caused by lazyness, encouraged by free money, nobody in europe would work anymore... yet things are not remotely like that. If you get in trouble, you are cought and helped back on your feet (a favor usually

That was an awesome read. Thanks...

Yes, that is an issue. John Oliver addressed it recently: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rnq1NpHdmw

It's probably even more complicated than that as they separated parts more per core during the evolution of dozer, like the decoder which was one unified one at first and became two separate ones later. Yeah, an oddly thought out desig

Ach, look at it this way. If it was in a proprietary product, you could sleep safely because nobody would ever tell you that your data was insecure. ;-) We pay researchers and others to check ownCloud for security issues (the writer of this

I wonder how successful such automated scanning attacks are against a simple login screen though. Does that really have much chance with a reasonably secure project? That then says "don't use self hosting, EVER, for ANYTHING. Get

I also wonder how successful such automated scanning attacks are against a simple login screen. Esp compared with the fact that on the big services people routinely call the helpdesk and manage to get passwords reset and all that so they ge

by jospoortvliet 11y ago
BTW if your ownCloud just presents a login screen to others, I mean, how often can somebody break in through that with automated means? Not 'never' I suppose but it should be rare...

backup is mentioned for a reason ;-) We sure are looking for people to help us ensure thing are safe.

Seriously, that's fud. Ok, you're running a NAS so I bet you have hopelessly outdated software on there and it's a miracle anything runs on it, including ownCloud. We probably shouldn't go through so much trouble making

Well, I don't know what your upload speed was - a normal ownCloud setup can saturate the link speed with large files, a bit less with small ones though the latest versions get very close. Of course, if the link is slow, 180GB is going

by jospoortvliet 11y ago
Self hosting does have this issue in general, yes. It is a bit harder to get at security vulnerabilities in ownCloud as was initially portrayed in the thread you mention (we publish CVE's 2 weeks after updates have hit the net, and the

by jospoortvliet 11y ago
That is why we publish updates with fixes 2 weeks before we publish CVE's. If a would-be-hacker follows CVE's, all users who updated in the last 2 weeks are safe. On top of that, while we prepare updates mostly in public in github

Especially considering, unlike those proprietary products, our open source product and the engineers we pay to work on it are under constant and public scrutiny thanks to availability of the source. Honestly, I think you should not even con

But why would it be shoddy? We put a lot of effort in security and have a lot of people working on our code, with good automated testing and clear processes. See https://owncloud.org/security/ and https://do

Still an interesting point. Note that the software for this device will be fully developed in the open on Github and IF WD builds in a backdoor between us shipping the final image to them and them putting it on the devices before they go ou

by jospoortvliet 11y ago
yeah, but WD is in the business of selling hard drives and they look everywhere for ways of doing that. In this case, connected to a Raspberry Pi and such boards... We're happy to benefit by getting a cool, ownCloud branded device for

At the very least, yes, it makes it a lot harder. But, for many users, security is complicated and us making it easy to run ownCloud includes that. You won't find many competitors with such extensive documentation, nor automatic securi

We're an open source project, remember. 'product development' happens in the open. ownCloud, Inc. is not involved other than allowing some of their employees (me incluis) to spend some time on this, even though it isn't

Just like with texts - how can we be even remotely sure they haven't changed? Seems terribly unlikely to me.
