#sailfishos-push log for Thursday, 2014-08-07

tbrtoday's fun topic: think up how to proxy things between dbus and the push service08:52
tbrI guess it would make sense to put some sort of restrictions on this, so that it's not possible to wreak uncontrolled havoc on remote devices09:48
kimmoliwhat restrictions? pin? count per time limitation?09:52
tbrmore as in to what you can send messages09:53
kimmoli?09:54
kimmolimean different datatypes09:54
kimmoli?09:54
tbrIf I allow arbitrary DBus messages then you can mess with contacts, put the device online, offline, switch on ap mode, etc09:55
tbreverything that you can do on the dbus user session, suddenly you can do remotely09:56
kimmolithats not good idea..10:00
kimmolidid you intend to frame dbus messages overmqtt ?10:00
tbrI'm currently exploring all directions and at the same time thinking how I would exploit them10:08
tbrfor comparison I'm going to read http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-push-hackers/ubuntu-push/trunk/view/head:/docs/lowlevel.txt10:08
tbrno need to reinvent the wheel10:09
tbrtheir token approach makes sense10:31
tbrnot sure how aplicable the rest is, as they use specific app IDs etc10:37
