Big news for stinky nerds.

I've got a massive fuckin' giveaway. I've got a voucher for either a COMPTIA SEC+ or a ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP).

Both of these are great for your career.

But, I'm not going to give this shit away to some random fucking nerd in a comment section. This is the type of gift that could accelerate someones career and change someones life.

Some giveaways people burn, watch YouTube shorts, and shoot-the-shit with their friends on Discord calls like a bunch of bums. This is going to vetted. When I gift this to someone I expect them to follow through with it.

If you're gifted a career changing gift and you squander it I WILL lose my mind.

More information coming soon.

To the person who keeps sending me e-mails from the alleged compromised Papa Johns email,

I can't tell if you're memeing or not. You keep e-mailing journalists and stuff but the e-mail is flagged as failing domain authentication. I don't know what you're doing.

I was sitting here and I was like, "I wonder if any vendors have released any malware research papers? It's a major holiday in the United States, surely it's slowed down"

I check my MISP thingie and 27 papers released in the past 2 days

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE

GET A LIFE

Big drama on the internet today (a very real and serious place)

On Steam video games that have used AI to aid in the assistance of the game are given a "made with AI" tag.

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, thinks this is a poor decision and says they will not be doing this on their platform

As you could probably imagine, this has made gamers go fuckin spazzo on Epic Games. Gamers have concluded Steam has (once again) won the "battle" by doing nothing.

Mr. Sweeney was ruthlessly flamed on social media for it. Some reposts got as many as 150,000 upvotes.

Will this make Epic Games change their mind? Probably not, no

Is it fun to throw tomatoes at wealthy people, politicians, and large businesses? Yes

Correction: 250,000+ upvotes.

If Xitter was a real place Tim Sweeney would be in serious trouble. After seeing this insane RATIO he probably wiped tears from his eyes with $100 bills while resting in his 5th Lamborghini

Thank you, young art student person place or thing.

It is very nice.

I didn't see the face behind everything originally because I don't have my glasses on (I'm old and stinky).

Dear Telegram nerds,

I've been AFK because it's been the holiday season. I've mostly been memeing to posts on Xitter. I'm not sure if any of you give a fuck, but tomorrow or Monday I'm doing a pseudo random giveaway thingie. I'm giving away $119,000 of cybersecurity courses. I'm gifting 400 people Cyber Warfare Live Infinity lab things.

Tbh bro girls who go into computer stuff are way fuckin braver than me

A long time ago I was considering going into healthcare. I enrolled in this nursing class thingie.

I went into the enrollment place and it was literally all women and 1 super buff Chad looking dude.

I walked into the room. I glanced in. The women turned and looked at me, this weird stinky nerd, and I got so nervous I turned around and left

P much pooped my pants. Idk why I got so scared. But it was scary.

Tbf tho I was like, 16 at the time. I'm in my 30s now. If I had to enroll now id probably just walk in, sit down, poop my pants, and lock in. Idk

Hello,

I'm a little behind schedule, but I've pushed a pretty big update to vx-underground. Please look at it and download the malware (or don't, whatever)

https://vx-underground.org/Updates

Why are you down again, Cloudflare?

The United States government has indicted a state-sponsored Threat Actor named Victoria Eduardovna Dubranova a/k/a Vika a/k/a Sovasonya

tl;dr she is facing 30 years to LIFE IN PRISON.

She is a citizen of Ukraine, however she acted on-behalf of the Russian Federation. Her colleagues were members of the Russian Federations military.

Initially I planned on doing write-up on her indictment, discuss her charges, etc, but the United States Department of Justice has documented her being tied to 99 offensive cybersecurity campaigns.

NINETY-NINE. 99.

It's 38 pages detailing her crimes, and this isn't even the full court documents because some are still sealed. The list of charges goes back to 2022.

She kind of got fucked over though, her criminal complaint is her and a bunch of other people who (in some capacity) were associated with the Russian government. By all accounts, it appears Ms. Dubranova was primarily responsible for video editing, managing money, running social media profiles, and misinformation campaigns.

She's in big trouble though because her associates (who she aided and abetted) in one instance compromised an ICS/SCADA in for a children's water park in the Netherlands, tampered with water temperature, and intentionally modified the chlorination levels.

In another instance, her colleagues compromised an oil and gas company, modified system temperatures, and caused an unknown amount of damage to the company.

In yet another instance, her colleagues compromised (another) oil and gas company, depleted onsite chemical supplies, and increased injection rates into oil wells

In yet another (another) instance, her colleagues compromised a public water system in the United States (Indiana), activated all pumps, and tampered with public water supply.

In yet (yet) another (another) instance, her colleagues compromised (another) public water system in the United States (Texas), shutdown pump set points, which resulted in the loss of 200,000 gallons of water for people in the State of Texas

In yet another (another one), her colleagues compromised an ICS/SCADA system in the United States (Pennsylvania), which resulted in the damage to a water treatment system, tampering with water pumps and levels of parasitic acid contamination

SHE'S TIED TO 99 OF THESE DAWG. SHE'S IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. SHE'S COOKED. IT'S GAME OVER.

I'm actually laughing. One of the compromises is so dumb.

Her and her colleagues were responsible for compromising A CAR WASH in the United States (Florida). They modified car wash systems and system placements

What kind of petty shit is this? This is like a small business owner who charges $6 a car wash. Imagine being the poor bastard who owns the business and being informed by the United States government that your small business was compromised by the Russian Federation because ???

Hello,

I have updated malware city. New malware has arrived. Please greet the malware. They're new in town.

https://vx-underground.org/Updates

I have a website for my malware source code. I have named it "malwaresourcecode", a very unique and inspiring name

malwaresourcecode.com

Hi,

I've made updates to that website where I share my malware proof-of-concept and malware source code snippets. I have no idea what to call it yet other than malwaresourcecode-dot-com.

I've added updated definitions of the Process Environment Block and Thread Environment Block. My previous definitions were extremely outdated. New definitions are the work of m417z
.

I've introduced new string hashing code segments. These are all well-known and famous string hashing algorithms. I've written them to be more Windows-specific. None make usage of the CRT in the event you are writing PIC.

Moving forward, all code will have a basic usage example. Newly updated string hashing methods display show basic usage.

For the curious: are all these string hashing methods necessary? No. Most will use Djb2, Rotr32+13, or LoseLose. However, if you want to write slightly more unique malware code, or you're just curious what they look like, they're there for you to poke with a stick. I had a lot of fun rewriting them and looking at them (math is for nerds)
