Oh, I'm also really, really, really, sorry to DrWhax. This is his photo he took from LinkedIn and he was the first to note it. I got lost in the sauce and forgot to tag him and give him credit.

I'm sorry, DrWhax. That is 100% my bad. When I saw your post I lost my mind.

Dawg, these computer forensic nerds do NOT fuck around. They're decoding decades old documents from fucked up e-mail scans so accurately they're getting the original metadata

I've been witnessing a trend whereas non-nerds, or schizo nerds, seem to be under the impression virtually everything is AI generated.

My comment section has been littered with non-core audience people asserting:
- News articles are AI generated (fake in totality, never happened)
- My profile is AI generated (???)
- Images shared are AI generated (memes, video edits, etc). They're edits, but not AI

AI has destroyed the normal person's mind and they appear incapable of differentiating AI from reality.

It is absolutely fascinating. It's like we're watching a science experiment in real time.

Oh, and since the Epstein files apparently EVERYTHING is a government psyop. Literally fucking everything. It's like someone dropped a schizo bomb on the internet and now everyone has lost their mind

It's cool and badass

i really like malware

Xitter removed the light blue color scheme. The only options are 'dark' theme and 'light' theme.

Both look like shit.

This entire site is going to hell in a hand basket. This has ruined my day, possibly my entire life, I don't know yet.

Someone get that fucking Nickle guy on the horn, whatever the fuck his name is, and tell him to revert these changes.

Oh, you can change the fucking themes but you can't stop the Chinese state-sponsored propaganda or the 200 OnlyFan's spam messages I get a day?

Mildly interesting

In NTDLL there is RtlCheckSandboxedToken.

RtlCheckSandboxedToken is a wrapper for NtQueryInformationToken with the TokenIsAppContainer flag from the TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS enum.

returning non-zero means the application is sandboxed, in an app container, or running as a protected process.

dawg, if youre going to be an internationally wanted cybercrime organization involved in extortion, money laundering, aggravated identify theft, CFAA violations, etc AT LEAST extort the right people

how you gonna extort someone you have no data for???

Sinobi ransomware group: GIVE US $10,000,000 OR WE'RE GOING TO LEAK ALL OF YOUR FUCKING DATA

(Halcyon AI is trying to politely inform them they're extorting the wrong company)

I planned on making educational YouTube videos, but with full time employment, a 10 month old baby (about to be 11 months in a few days!), the rest of my family, a vx-underground, work developing malware and poking malware with a stick, I can't summon the energy to make dumb videos on malware.

I'm soft blooded.

When I'm not working, my brain is so deep fried and exhausted I unironically watch Elder Scrolls lore videos and dumb videos on internet drama.

I don't have any friends in real life, they're all far away or married with children too. My entire existence is working or caring for a baby.

It's not bad, I love it. I'm very happy.

But... God damn am I tired. I'm so tired and I don't even really remember the last time I was able to relax. It's unironically been years since I wasn't working in some capacity. At this point, I don't even know if I know how to relax. When I'm not doing malware stuff, I feel compelled to do malware stuff.

It's all ogre.

I don't expect any of you to give a shit. But I wanted to scream into the void of internet.

Thanks.

Yeah, so pretty much that whole Windows 11 Notepad RCE thing was ridiculously stupid. Like, it was so dumb it kind of hurts.

Windows 11 Notepad, with the fancy Copilot AI slop, now possesses the ability to handle mark up, or markdown, ... It's mark something, the stuff used in ReadMes. Whatever.

Anyway, a security researcher realized that if you used markup in Notepad and instead of a hyperlink to a website with https:// you put file:// (the protocol on Windows for files, like in file explorer), it will arbitrarily execute it. It won't prompt you.

Furthermore, he realized you could specify a remote host to execute it from using a different Microsoft specific protocol used for app installation. In other words, if you user clicked the hyperlink in Notepad it would download and run a program from any website ... without alerting the user.

Normally, any sort of hyperlink that leads to a different domain, or tries to execute a file, is supposed to prompt you with an alert message, ... or something. However, Microsoft software engineers seemingly forgot to implement this notification Window.

With this attack vector which has been present for AT LEAST 9 months, a malicious actor could send a .txt file and if the user clicked the link inside the .txt file it would automatically execute and run anything specified in the hyperlink.

Even more silly, forensically under the hood, the logs on Windows, or to an anti malware service, it would look like Notepad was downloading something and then running a program. This is a very unique scenario which (to the best of my knowledge) no security product has encountered before. This could hypothetically result in files being downloaded and executed and being completely ignored by anti malware services because Notepad is a known and trusted program. Why would an anti malware service question Notepad?

Basically, the point I'm trying to get to here is that I don't understand why Microsoft has introduced so many new features into Notepad. With new features means a new attack landscape (more stuff to abuse).

Whatever man

It's 2026 and now defenders need to unironically worry about malicious text files.

Nothing is sacred.
