trashserver.net XMPP Status @trashserver@social.tchncs.de

Nice user / server ratio!

#xmpp

Seems that webchat.trashserver.net is broken. I'm working on it!

Tor connectivity restored!

Unfortunately there are plenty of XMPP clients, which connect via trashserver.net A/AAAA IP address and not via the SRV record. Using Tor can be one cause, since Tor DNS does not support SRV records.

Therefore a redirection for these clients has been created.

Welcome back, Tor users! :-)

Dear trashserver.net users, currently there are connectivity problems for TOR users who do not rely on the hidden service.

TOR cannot resolve SRV records and therefore connects to the wrong server at this time.

A fix is in works.

There will be another short service outage due to database maintenance in the next couple of minutes.

I'm sorry for yesterdays service outage from 2018-10-02 8:55 pm [GMT+2] until 2018-10-03 9:34 am [GMT+2].

The server's RAM resources were fully utilized and most processes could not allocate any more memory. This lead to a crash of several services, including XMPP.

Unfortunately I could not handle the situation during night.

Service has been restored this morning.

My tool for TLS connection analysis with pcap captures is now available! 🎉

https://github.com/ThomasLeister/tlsstats

It helps e.g. XMPP server admins to find out which TLS versions / ciphers can be dropped.

#xmpp #tls #infosec

trashserver.net dropped TLSv1.1 support. Please report any issues.

Today I did some analysis of secured connections to trashserver.net.

Here are the results: https://transfer.sh/butgm/tlsresults.txt

The numbers on the right side show the count of connections using a certain TLS version / Cipher.

As you can see, clients announce quite a lot of ciphers/versions, but negotiation makes server and client choose strong encryption mechanisms. :-) (server choosen cipher is, what counts!)

The tool for creating these stats will be published, soon!

#xmpp #trasherver #infosec #tls

This is the information I just extracted from all the XMPP client connections to trashserver.net:

https://haste.tchncs.de/yovegifina.md

Is the analysis was valid, I can be proud of my users! No TLS < 1.2 used and also almost every client is using a DH (forward secrecy) enabled connection! 🎉

(although this analysis is not really representative because IPv6 connected clients were not considered).

#xmpp #security #trashserver

Are there any trashserver.net users using Android <= 4.3?

I'm thinking about dropping TLS 1.1 support.
