hello tiny people living inside my computer

X employees shared online they're rewriting the X DM system and naming it 'XChat' — which is strange because I recall using XChat sometime in the late 90's, or early 2000's

For those young ones reading this: XChat is an IRC client

For those young ones reading this: IRC is kind of like Discord, except way slimmed down, way less features but way more flexible and you can host a server yourself

People who are 18 years old, as of 2025, were born the same year as the release of Halo 3 — the same year the original iPhone was released when Steve Jobs was alive.

The people you will be interviewing in the next couple of years do not know a world without smart phones.

Anyway, let that echo in your head tonight when you're trying to sleep. 2007 was 18 years ago.

Hello, how are you?

tl;dr doing stuff

Right now we've got 250GB+ of new malwares we need to push. We're in the process of syncing it, making local backups, etc. We also temporarily stopped migrating virus-dot-exchange, but it's still on the todo list.

As many of you have noticed, updates on things have been volatile and shakey. I greatly miscalculated the difficulty of preparation and deployment of mini-human. I had thought, to some degree, it was an exaggeration that it would require a great deal of effort — it turns out the entire planet (past, and present) was not lying.

Despite the deployment of Smelly Smellington Jr, the general plan will be as follows:

- Continue daily ingests and malware sample distribution from petikvx, JaffaCakes118, and Neiki__. These 3 act as the back bone of our malware ingestion cycle.

- If or when _BradleyVX returns from his family duties: continual archival of The Old New Thing, cat picture collection (semi-joking), and his work on malware collection. Bradley has primarily been responsible for the malware family collection and he will continual doing so.

- Cryakl will continue working on the malware builder collection. Cryakl has done an excellent job ensuring we're up-to-date on malware builders historically and present...ly (?)

- f0wlsec will continue his work on the APT malware samples and papers collection. If you do not see an update in a significant period of time, feel free to poke him with a stick.

My request to anyone who reads this: PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me (or whoever) regarding malware papers (reverse engineering, development, history, whatever). Even if the paper doesn't make it into the collection it is super-duper appreciated when someone notifies us of a potential paper. It makes my life so much easier. If you've written a paper for yourself, or your group, or your company — DON'T hesitate to notify me (or whoever in our group) so it can be archived.

How to send us a paper: literally just send the link on Discord, Twitter, Telegram, e-mail. That's all you have to do. If you send me enough cool stuff maybe you can take my job and be given a pretty staff sticker and I can focus more on other administrative tasks.

Anyway, i'll be AFK. You'll see a spike in silly posts and cat pictures. If this upsets you, I don't know bro, we're busy and this is all for free. You gotta deal with it for awhile.

Love you

Use TorGuard VPN.

I didn't have to append this is this post, but they're our hosting provider and the owner uses his company resources and time to collect cat pictures with us.

Bubble-dot-io employees have responded.

Bubble (or individuals representing the company) assert the code we shared yesterday is not a zero day exploit and we (or the researchers mentioned) failed to take appropriate measures to read the documentation provided by Bubble

In summary, they state each user is responsible for the security of their data and users must follow the appropriate Bubble-dot-io security guidelines. The issues we relayed yesterday do not impact Bubble-dot-io in totality, rather these are customers who failed to follow the guidelines

They also called us an embarrassment and said our post is borderline malicious because it is misleading because (or the researchers, whoever), did not read the security guidelines.

Hello,

We've removed the post on the Bubble zero day. The purpose of the post was to draw attention to the issue — which was indeed addressed.

As a recap, 2 researchers published a paper on Bubble-dot-io and how to exploit it. Bubble ignored them. We were requested to relay the issue loudly so it was addressed. It was addressed. Bubble asserts they do not consider this an exploit because this is the result of users failing to RTM and follow the Bubble security guidelines.

I will personally take the L that it was a stretch to classify this as zero day when this is the result of users not following the Bubble best practices guide. It does not impact Bubble in totality.

tl;dr 2 guys 1 bubble

Removed weird balloon thing from car. Now can safely store beer in car

Please drink and drive responsibly

One of my fondest memories of Lockbit ransomware group was when Lockbit ransomed a small nonprofit healthcare clinic in South America.

They begged him to decrypt the machines so they can provide treatment to people in need. They primarily provided healthcare to people in remote areas who have little to no money, education, or work.

Lockbit said: "If you have money for computers, you have money to pay me"

Wow, truly a heartwarming moment. Very cool.

We've seen a bunch of dorks on Twitter use this meme format to insert mathematics and physics stuff into the Chad thought bubble.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you've ever actually spent your day doing something "intellectual intensive", your brain requires brain rot. You physically cannot brain science non-stop everyday. Do gym bros stay in the gym 24/7? Do athletes train 24/7? No. You need down time. The brain is (in some capacity) a muscle too which requires training.

The only people we've seen brain science hardcore non-stop are one of the following (sometimes multiple):

1. Autistic nerds (not memeing), some autistic people have God levels of focus
2. ADHD nerds, if you get them on that weird hyper-focus stuff they'll lock in for like, 4 days and not bathe or eat
3. Nerds on drugs, more common than you'd think, but the nerds abusing amphetamines (or nootropics in general) lock in pretty hard too, until they crash out and they're worthless slabs of meat for like, a week or more

Anyway, the entire point of this micro-rant is to tell some of you to not be brain washed by pseudo-intellectual grifters on social media. The entire part of braining is to have fun, explore, and learn. It isn't a competition, it isn't a "lOoK hOw SmaRt i Am" competition, it isn't a race to who can do the newest and coolest research.

When you're bored of a video game do you force yourself to like it? Same as brain stuff — you might try to force yourself through the boring parts, but eventually you'll be like, "this shit is lame", and move onto something you like more.

Look at cat pictures, laugh at edgy memes, understand there is time for braining and there is time for brain rot.

Okay, talk to you later, love you, mwah kissies kissies
