I'm not going to lie, I saw the Mexican people going absolutely schizo when Mexico defeated Ecuador and I thought to myself, "wtf thats badass, i want to be proud of the united states and go crazy af in the streets with random people".

Honestly, if you're wanting to get into malware development and malware reverse engineering (specifically in regards to Windows), I think the most important thing you can learn is the concept of a file.

1. What is a file extension? This is pretty obvious, .exe, .pdf, .mp3, etc.

2. How are file extensions handled? This would introduce the idea of the Windows registry and how extension querying is handled vs. the Windows loader

3. Which file extensions (or file types, rather) are used for payload delivery? e.g. .exe, .dll, .xll, .vbs, .ps1, .py, .lua, .docx, .vcproj, etc. The .exe, .dll, (and other native types, like .sys) will be sort of self-explanatory, but the others would introduce different malware delivery mechanisms (malicious files) and potentially wiggle in the concept of payload smuggling.

4. Each of the previous listed file types are different. How are they different? .exe and .dll (and many others) are native to Windows and handled by the Windows loader. Why are the others still considered executable files? This is when you slowly step into interpretive languages and VM dependency (JVM, PVM, etc).

Somewhere in this you would eventually stumble into the Windows PE format, how the PE format is different for .NET binaries, how Electron .JS executables act differently, weird stuff like .docx file internals, etc.

Basically, I think understanding files and how they're handled is an excellent starting point and sets the stage for what will happen next.

Doctor: Take this medicine at night to help you sleep

Me: Okay

Doctor: Oh, and by the way, if you have a sudden erection which is painful and won't go away, it's from the medicine. Immediately seek medical attention. Go the Emergency Room

Me: Okay

Chat, I don't want to sound like a schizo, but it sure is STRANGE how much data Microsoft collects with it's telemetry functionality. It's very odd Microsoft documents and records all of your web browser activity, and gaming, and can tie it to your social media, so they can improve your "Windows Experience".

You can read about it yourself here on page 12 (or page 8 of affidavit), then page 33 and down (page 29 of affidavit)

The United States is 250 years old.

To celebrate this occasion, we will be giving everyone two hundred and fifty (250) malwares.

God Bless

We're slowly convincing the youth to autismmax via silly pictures of cats.

Chat, today is a good day.

Look at this "Grand Theft Auto 6 BETA for FREE" advertisement that fell onto my lap. It delivers a .rar that has a .exe inside.

I am so happy. I am elated. It is free malware.

Literally shaking, screaming, crying, THROWING UP.

The .exe is bundled with BUN (some Javascript bullshit). I deobfuscated the main goop inside of it, found the C2 configuration (where it downloads cool malware from), and ... it's dead.

Cloudflare KILLED THEIR C2. THE MALWARE IS DEAD. THEY KILLED THE MALWARE CAMPAIGN.

How are we supposed to get malware from fake Grand Theft Auto 6 advertisements if Cloudflare KILLS their infrastructure???

RIP NWHStealer campaign ID 202fdde5193b.
RIP NWHStealer c2 unauth-amper(.)cc

I only have one question though... This malware kills itself if it detects the following strings:
- sandbox
- sand box
- malware
- virus
- maltest
- peter wilson (??????)
- paul jones (??????)

who THE FUCK is peter wilson and paul jones???

I'm on the weird part of the internet reading about Termite microbiomes

Now I'm frustrated scientists haven't conducted more research into biotechnologies that allow humans to extract nutrition from woody stuff like lignin

tldr why science man no let us eat wood wtf

The fact the United States Department of Homeland Security took down an anime streaming website, and arrested the websites administrators, can only mean one thing.

Weebs pose a serious threat to the United States government. They're dangerous. They must be contained.

Last time on Dragon Ball Z: I made a long ass post discussing my Benzodiazepine dependency. Lots of people sent me DMs, or left comments, calling me "brave", or something (is addiction and/or dependency taboo or something?). People also DMd me saying they also have Benzodiazepine dependency but were too scared to try to taper due to how dangerous the drug can be.

Behind the scenes I've basically been a test dummy for some people. Let me share with all of you how cool and badass my taper has been

> everything in my life great
> no reason to be sad
> legs sometimes feel like jello
> anxiety back
> heart race sometimes
> heart sometimes beat really hard
> mostly really sad

The sadness feels like I'm a 14 year old boy in math class whos crush (Susie Bananas, straight A student, champion of the Spelling Bee) recently told you in secret she has a crush on Joseph FastFeet (fastest kid in school), and now you're sad and have to listen to really emo music in your bedroom while your parents make you pancakes for dinner. It's not crippling depression, but you just feel kind of emotional.

The weird heart beat thingie is like, you'll be laying in bed and it's like your heart turned the bass up to fuck off level. I'm in bed and it feels like my heart is punching the mattress through my back. It's interesting.

Overall the taper hasn't been too bad.

Pic related: what my anxiety feels like during taper (just cat crushing the planet).

But for real, I had sooooo many DMs of people telling me about their dependency on anxiety medications. People seemed scared to discuss it? Dawg, EVERYONE knows SOMEONE with dependency and/or addiction problems (alcohol, pain killers, benzos, whatever).

It isn't anything to be ashamed of.

In my experience thus far though, some people are kind of weird like ... "just quit cold turkey bro, just drink this cleansing tonic from my favorite Instagram Influencer for $15.99 per bottle" ... just BAD medical advice and kind of superstitious thinking? I don't know. I think everyone wants to help, or offer support, but sometimes their support or opinion isn't very good... but whatever bro, we ballin', fuck it

WHY CANT I BE COOL. LET ME BE COOL

Good news for people who like malware: I have more malware coming soon

Bad news for people who HATE malware: I have more malware coming soon

What does this mean? It means I'm adding another 75,000 malwares and like, 50 papers on malware reverse engineering tonight.

wtf are meterologists actually degenerate nerds too?

Tiny people living inside my computer,

I have synced the malware to prod. It is roughly 75,000 malware. Please download the malware. If you do not download malware this cat with a loaded revolver will shoot something (or someone).
