Dev Blog - Symink Attack - Do not trust config files
December 26, 2021
Now that classes are over for the semester, I decided to resume work on a project I’ve been putting off for a while. ProxyAuth is a passwordless authentication module that allows lazy people like me to access their machine without inputting their passwords. It authenticates the user if their hardware authenticator (i.e. a smartphone) is close to the machine via Bluetooth connection. Currently, the implementation is not convenient and there are a lot of areas that need to be worked on such as the security of the product.
