Nice, tried the link and they couldn't even set up https. Their target base won't even be able to type that link out lol.

One random thing that really annoys me is that the site http://shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

Funniest thing I've ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow... No they don't.

[-] gatelike@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago

server serves a protocol on a port. I would rather it not include logic like that. turn off the http port of you don't want to serve http.

[-] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 months ago

HSTS + HTTPS redirect is the answer. It's industry standard for a reason: it's just as safe as pure HTTPS since you can't get anything other than a redirect over HTTP, and HSTS protects your users from future attempted MITM attacks. The MDN page for HSTS explains it all very clearly.

Any other implementation is an immediate audit fail in my experience.

There's no tangible security benefit to fully disabling port 80, and if anything depending on the service it may just drive users away to shadier alternatives.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

that would mean anyone going to http:// will perceive as the server being down so what you are saying will not work in practice

Apache tomcat had a stupid security issue. I recently did a HackTheBox about it. Here's a write-up of the box https://medium.com/ctf-writeups/hack-the-box-jerry-write-up-6f045601315f

Why does reading Shakespeare need to be over SSL?

[-] Takios@feddit.de 15 points 11 months ago

SSL (or TLS nowadays) not only protects against surveillance but also guarantees the integrity of the data you send and receive. Without it, someone could spoof the response you receive. In practice this means injecting ads or malware or even worse: fake shakespeare!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

According to some, all Shakespeare is fake Shakespeare.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the explanation!

If you are using Firefox, enable https everywhere setting and it fixes stuff like that

It will only give an error if there's no https version that exists

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Firefox has a built in setting that does the same. No need for the extension

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

They said to use the setting, nothing about extensions though.
