Linux's userspace networking stack is scary as hell. Memory unsafe language. No privsep. Lots of scary logic. https://twitter.com/lcamtuf/status/672087648253546496 …

At least we can swap out components with more secure alternatives. If networkd ever becomes tightly integrated with systemd, we're doomed.

@__agwa My attempt to package ADHCP (http://www.codelabs.ch/adhcp/ ) was met with quite some resistance at the time, see https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/06/msg00421.html … -
@Kensan42 Ugh, that thread is discouraging. -
@Kensan42 That said, those people don't get to decide what can be packaged. If you got a sponsor for adhcp, it would probably be accepted. -
@Kensan42 Btw, thanks for the pointer to adhcp. I'll be checking it out. -
@__agwa Sure thing. By the way, we recently added DHCPv6 support which may be of interest. -
@Kensan42 Nice! Do you support prefix delegation? -
@__agwa Currently no. We only implemented the DHCPv6 parts we strictly needed for now.

@__agwa wpa_supplicant supports privilege separation but no one seems to use it (so it may not be well tested) and it's still a bunch of C. -
@CopperheadSec Sadly, it's disabled at compile time on Debian. But I'm happy that the wpa_supplicant devs have thought of this.
