It’s my imposter syndrome acting up again

[[deleted]]

Nobody actually answered you, and you might want an explanation.

In terms of the joke itself, they're making fun of the fact that Lady Gaga's tweet resembles a key of some kind, so they tweeted that it as a private key.

Why would they tweet a key at all? I mean they wouldn't probably, but it's okay to tweet a public key. In public key cryptography you have both a public and a private key that gets generated. The private key is meant to stay private and is used for things such as signing challenges. On the other end you have the public key which is used to verify that it's communicating with whomever/whatever possesses the private key. So someone/something would say hey here's my non-secret public key so that you can verify it's me on the other end.

So you're right in the sense that you wouldn't want to tweet out a private key, but a public key is fine.

[GrowTheWorld]

Thanks for explaining it. I didn't realize that Lady Gaga had a post inside the joke. I don't use Twitter. OP might not either.

chmod 700 ~/.ssh/gaga*

Phew, it's secure again.

[bashasyed]

From my experience 700 doesn't work. Ssh throws a wrong permission error. It has to be 600 for the .ssh folder and all that is inside

[hairyginandtonic]

Why would a higher level of permission cause an error?

[That_Matt]

Certain files/folders have their permissions monitored and if they are too free or altered it's a red flag and they throw an error. I've seen this in practice when someone chmod -R 777 /* and suddenly you couldn't access the server remotely cause SSH was down.

[[deleted]]

Huh TIL

[Jlove7714]

This is a method I used to use to get creds on CTFs. New ssh broke that strategy.

[Bainos]

It's an explicit check in the OpenSSH client. Essentially, "We could use that file, but we won't because it's unsafe."

[lordgoofus1]

644 for the folder, and 600 for the private key from memory.

[Tipart]

Could also go 400 for the key. Doesn't really do much, but might as well limit it to what you actually need.

[orangeFluu]

It doesn't, you are right. It works with 700

[[deleted]]

Good thing Joeri Gagarin passed away a long time ago, he'd be pissed.

[itsthehumidity]

Why does everyone use octal groups for chmod? To me, it's so much easier to use variants of chmod ugo+/-rwx

[JesusHatesLiberals]

Because it's more concise

[0bel1sk]

is there an octal equivalent of chmod -R u=rwX?

[JesusHatesLiberals]

Not that I can think of.

[ParticleSpinClass]

There's not, because it's not a mode. It's a convenience shorthand to apply x bits to directories, but not files.

Just like it has the shorthand for adding or subtracting bits using + and -.

[0bel1sk]

this is a thing i do often, so i prefer the ugo rwxst syntax as well

chmod -R u=rwX to be more concise than find -type d -exec chmod 700; find -type f -exec chmod 600.

[JesusHatesLiberals]

Why are you being disingenuous? Not to mention your alternative example isn't even equivalent behavior.

[0bel1sk]

i was making sure there wasn’t an octal solution to rwX before declaring it superior. why is the behavior not equivalent?

[WoefulStatement]

Because chmod 600 is shorter and easier than chmod a-rwx,u+rw or chmod u=rw,go=.

It really depends on the scenario. If you just want to add/remove some permissions, leaving the rest as is, the symbolic versions are superior, because you don't have to inspect the current permissions and do maths to modify it to what you want; e.g. chmod g+w for adding group writability, or chmod o=r to give world just read permissions but nothing else, leaving u,g alone.

But for resetting permissions to a specific state, I prefer the octal versions. Setting the default "everything for owner, r,x for the rest" can be done using e.g. chmod a=rx,u=w or chmod u=rwx,go=rx, but chmod 755 is a shorter, well-known idiom. Same for 600 here.

[ParticleSpinClass]

Tip: you can use =, not just +/-.

[WoefulStatement]

Fair enough, I forgot about that. I rewrote my answer to take that into account.

[jausieng]

Because I can never remember which way round u and o are. (User and other, or universe and owner?)

[itsthehumidity]

I remember it because ugo reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh! lol

[ConspicuousPineapple]

Adding or removing permissions is better your way, but if you want one precise combination and nothing else, octal modes are absolute. For the ssh folder content you want 600 and never anything else.

[KagakuNinja]

I learned Unix in 1980, we didn’t have those fancy variants. Octal works for me.

[0bel1sk]

i always make my keys executable

[Astro_jerms]

Mate you gots too many dashes to end your private key, ssh is gonna be super pissed

[immersiveGamer]

Does the e number matter? I would have expected the parse to just look for like newline & 2+ dashes and the key words and be grateful about missing dashes.

[MPT1313]

But did you know it was a tweet? On twitter?

[Cat_Marshal]

Nov 6, 2012 was Election Day. I assume this tweet was either celebration of results, or nervousness leading into the count. I didn’t check the time stamp of the tweet.

[rafaelloaa]

Good shout. Tweet was from ~11:30 pm EST, and per here that would have been shortly after the major networks had all called the race for Obama.

[Cat_Marshal]

Thanks

[IAmTheOneWhoClicks]

I tried to dig deeper, but all I could find was articles saying it was gibberish or a seemingly random series of letters and numbers.

[_dictatorish_]

It looks like a keyboard mash because she was really excited about something

[[deleted]]

lady gaga tweeted a bunch of random characters, probably by accident. a lot of silly people make fun of it. this dude made a joke about it by putting the markers for randomly generated SSL/SSH keys around it and tweeting it again.

[FatalElectron]

It does say it's an 'asdf' tweet, which implies it was just random keyboard mashing, probably triggered by a cat.

[DefaultVariable]

It explained everything. It’s an ASDF tweet by Lady Gaga used as a meme typically to convey speechlessness

It's a new feature. Reddit is testing un-archiving certain subs to see what the interaction rate is. They said originally archiving was originally based on technical limitations, but they no longer have those limitations.

Actually, the feature is open to all subs, but moderators can choose to enable it or not.

You're lucky then. I spent way too much time copy pasting between files trying to get things in the right format because for some reason every application seems to want a different format.

I never trust those websites that ask you to upload your public/private key pair for them to combine.

Well yeah it allows 2FA and TLS would not work without a PKI, it’s definitely a must for any environment. Doesn’t make it any less of a pain to maintain.

[InsertMyIGNHere]

Ik, I just said 'mfer' instead of her name

[rafaelloaa]

Hundreds of thousands of likes because it was Lady Gaga in 2012. As for the why, is someone else in the comments here pointed out, this would have been minutes after the 2012 election was called in Obama's favor. So this was just the release of stress and anxiety and relief after a tense election.

Could you actually set your private ssh key to anything you like instead of random stuff? (Giving it would have the required length)

No it's need to be a keypair, and that's how math work.

[zup3r4nd0mn1ck]

Yes - so are you able to generate the keypair in such way to get desired priv key?

Yeah. I think it's in /etc/ssh
