Hey #infosec and probably also #malware, why not. Are there any good talks on Unix rootkits? Specifically Unix, not Linux. Talking FreeBSD and all those flavors. Doing research for a character in a book.

While I was working on compiling a PDF proof of some writing drafts this morning, I realized MS had "enhanced" office with AI. Without asking, without consent.

I was able to do the registry edit solution and now the AI.exe task does not appear to be loading when I go in to work on a draft.

I want to again remind people that AI is an equal opportunity robber. Your rough drafts? Private journals? AI don't care and will gobble that up.

This is such a brilliantly simple flaw, I can't believe I didn't think of it.

Maybe because it is brilliant. And simple.

#introduction

(ok so this is my first time writing something about myself so bear with me if it will be bad)

hey there everyone i am newbie to mastodon and a lot of things as well currently figuring out what my thing is

as of the time i am writing this my current interests are #android, #linux, #BSD, #cybersec, #reversing software and #malware analysis

most of the time yet i have spent on doing random things with android, have bricked my current phone three times XD and found a weird bug that is specifically applicable to my device that whenever i switch slot and reboot from fastbootd to fastbootd it's gpt partition table gets nuked lol, right now i am using a custom rom based on lineageOS on moto e7 plus called LMODroid

to linux i am little bit new and started using when i was fed up with windows annoyances(forced updates, search bar being useless, edge constantly bugging you etc.) the distro that i have used most is linux mint even though i have jumped to some distros from time to time namely debian, gentoo, fedora and yes kali XD but i have stopped using linux altogether nowadays and switched to FreeBSD(and i am loving it because of stuff like jails, poudriere and linux binary compatibility etc) due to an gpu driver bug in 5.x and later kernels i assume the issue was PC randomly freezing with weird strips of lines appearing on the screen and nothing except hard reboot worked

in cybersec i didn't did much except bunch of basic nmap stuff and trial of some android CVEs on my device

MA/RE are self explanatory i assume

oh and yeah for some time i was in gamedev as well, made bunch of incomplete projects in unity (and i hate the direction unity is going in nowadays) from a platformer to a FPS but that is an old story and out of my interest now

so yeah i have a lot of things and nothing much interesting about me and trying to figure out what i love the most to do but right now i am a jack of many trades you can say and that's all i have to say about me, hoping it wasn't much unbearable to read my introduction

The teens of america are uniting!

To end war? No

To solve world hunger? Nope

To stop congress from banning TikTok? Yep

After the spyware… (ahem) after the app supplied users with numbers to call, one teen threatened “I promise you do not ban TikTok. If you want a January 6th riot, that's what's going to happen. Don't do it”

…this, after giving their full name and address at the start of the call
(Via Politico)

And the calls keep coming

We’re about to see the wackiest uprising ever 🇺🇸

Beware infected #Github repositories having #malware in them.

https://apiiro.com/blog/malicious-code-campaign-github-repo-confusion-attack

> In order to maximize the chances of infection the malicious actor is flooding GitHub with malicious repos

Like this:

• Clone existing repos (for example: TwitterFollowBot, WhatsappBOT, discord-boost-tool, Twitch-Follow-Bot)

• Infect them with malware loaders

• Upload them back to GitHub with identical names

• Automatically fork each thousands of times

• Covertly promote them across the web

BREAKING: #Pegasus spyware abused in 🇵🇱#Poland under previous government, confirms the new PM Donald Tusk

"Very, very long" victim list.

Vindication.

When we @citizenlab first confirmed the hacking in 2021 both we & victims were targeted w/extensive harassment & disinformation.

REPORT: https://apnews.com/article/poland-government-pegasus-spyware-tusk-duda-78420fc7099401926d28b5be98669192

usk took power in December following an October election which he won as the head of a broad centrist alliance. It marked the end of eight years of rule by Law and Justice, a populist party that the European Union accused of eroding democratic norms. Duda, who holds presidential veto power and served during Law and Justice’s years in power, has at times opposed Tusk’s efforts to implement his agenda. The new parliament has set up a special commission to investigate who used Pegasus and against whom during Law and Justice’s years in government. “The list of victims of these practices is unfortunately very long,” Tusk said. The prime minister said he asked the justice minister and prosecutor general to provide Duda with a set of documents which “confirm 100% the purchase and use of Pegasus in a legal and illegal manner.” Several Polish opponents of the previous government were targeted with Pegasus, a spyware program made by Israel’s NSO Group, according to findings by the University of Toronto’s nonprofit Citizen Lab that were exclusively reported by The Associated Press. Pegasus gives its operators complete access to a mobile device, allowing them to extract passwords, photos, messages, contacts and browsing histories, and to activate the microphone and camera for real-time eavesdropping.
