Life is so gosh dang weird

Some nerd from Rapid7 commented that my Spoopy Winsocks project is basically identical to Amatera stealers HTTPS functionality.

I didn't know this existed. Our code base and application flow is similar. It looks like Amatera stealer and I also used the same research material.

tldr creepily similar code, by complete chance

Based on the binary analysis from Proofpoint, my code base does some things slightly differently, but regardless the core concept and main application flow is the same.

It's really fucking weird how similar it is by complete chance

Amatera Stealer isn't open source. It's not something you can copy pasta off GitHub.

Microsoft stock fell 11% today, a total loss equal to $400,000,000,000.

Despite constant growth from Microsoft, and cloud earnings exceeding expectations, investors expressed concern over "ballooning" AI spending.

Microsoft asserts their spending is due to being unable to meet customer demand for AI.

"Don't you get tired of being on the computer?"

When I'm on my death bed, surrounded by loved one, ready to pass on to the pearly gates, my only regret will be I didn't spend more time on the computer.

Did some research, I could get the Spooky Winsock project working in enterprise environments, resolve proxies and automagically handle PAC/WPAD, and do it all with SYSCALLs for maximum silliness.

But I'm doing this all on my personal computer, at my house, while in my undies. I don't want to have to setup and configure a bunch of stuff. My personal computer is also RDPing into stuff and processing malware. I don't want to even temporarily disrupt my silly computer from thinking.

If you're by chance an enterprise and would like to provide me resources for free malware research and development, let me know. I'm just doing it for the love of the game.

vx-underground will be in the next Paged Out! zine.

I spoke with Gynvael Coldwind, the main nerd doing stuff with it, and offered them money to assist with Paged Out!. He declined and instead put vx-underground in the zine just for the love of game.

Imagine offering someone MONEY for FREE to support their zine thingy and instead they just offer you free stuff.

Who is this man and why is he so cool and badass

There is a place in Turkey called the "Yıldız Technical University's Davutpaşa Campus"

They have a place called "Kedili Duvar". This translates to "The wall of Cats". Unbeknownst to me, someone has DEFILED this wall by LEAKING the password on it

Initially someone told me it was an abandoned building, but it turns out people just write all over the walls at universities in Turkey (no one understands why)

Thank you Lyoshi19 for correcting me. He goes to this university. He thought it was someones Instagram handle.

YouTube has orbital nuked several high-profile AI slop YouTube channels.

If you go online and review the channels which were orbital nuked, the things YouTube has commented about AI slop, and research Kapwing Content Analysts have performed, it actually makes sense why YouTube hates AI slop.

See attached image of the slop channels recently struck by a nuclear missile.

tl;dr (still kind of long) to save you from having to read a bunch of news articles, CEO interviews, and content analyst stuff
> Research shows 21% (or more) of YouTube feed is slop
> Channels have billions of views
> Millions of subscribers
> AI slop farms making millions of dollars
> AI slop farmers happy
> YouTube CEO Neal Mohan NOT happy
> Mohan says "not good long-term"
> Mohan says AI slop will make people hate YouTube
> Mohan says AI slop steals from real creators
> Mohan says AI slop makes advertisers mad (big one)
> Mohan says AI slop will degrade platform
> Mohan says fast ez money, but bad later
> Mohan tells devs to destroy AI slop with space lasers
> Devs roll out AI to detect AI slop
> AI slop detection system bamboozles non AI slop
> Unironically using AI to detect AI slop
> AI slop costing YouTube a bunch of money
> Mohan ulta mega mad at AI sloppers
> Deploys orbital nuke on biggest AI slop farmers
> AI slop farmers crying (probably)

Actually, I'm wrong. Not all of these channels have orbital nuked (yet).

- CuentosFacianantes NUKED
- Imperiodejesus NUKED
- Super Cat League NUKED

Will YouTube destroy the rest? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z

The dude who made Molt made a social media place for AI agents called Moltbook. It's a bunch of AI agents talking to each other

Get off your computer.

Instead, lay in bed and scroll your phone.
