it seems someone decided to prove you really can just publish any nonsense protocol draft with the IETF https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@nila @0xabad1dea as long as crawlers correctly interpret the draft as a draft and journos / wiki editors etc do their due diligence (which, i am told, they always do), there is no attack vector

[nila@infosec.exchange]

@ratsnakegames @0xabad1dea Do you think an agent swarm led by an APT could social engineer its way into "the IETF"? Setting up web pages, blogs, arXiv submissions etc. for a network of sock puppets definitely seems within reach of such actors.

(And, come to think of it, any other standards body...)

Reminds me of Doug Zongker's publication:

Cat5e or Cat6 cable isn't good enough.
You need Cat9 cable,

@0xabad1dea @slothrop no worries next time I won’t reply unless to say something deep and serious which is probably once a year for me on Mastodon. You can ignore me.
Have a good day

@0xabad1dea When I read the beginning of IPv8 I thought it was an April 1st one.

@0xabad1dea I think the somebody in question is @mat ?

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@Orb2069 @mat thank you, I didn't realize there was an official announcement post on mastodon for it

[eblu@wetdry.world]

@0xabad1dea throwing in an obligatory shoutout to @mat for being the ietf kitty. cats deserve credit

[shadowdancer@mstdn.social]

@0xabad1dea
Okay, this is cool, my #cat would likely benefit from this. Does anyone know if there's someone already implementing this?

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea what has @catsalad been up to?

[jennyfluff@chitter.xyz]

@0xabad1dea that makes more sense than the IPv8 one

[fedihacker@masto.es]

@0xabad1dea Meooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

@0xabad1dea reminds me of Doug Zonker's foundational academic paper "Chicken Chicken Chicken: Chicken Chicken". https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf
