Sometimes I still think about how zhangsansec hacked our website.

He found the silliest bug.

The bug allowed him to arbitrarily upload, download, edit, and delete files. He couldn't modify any website code, but he had the ability for a brief moment in time to destroy our entire archive.

When he discovered the exploit he notified us via DM. He didn't ask for anything in return. He didn't want a bug bounty. He shared his thoughts on where he believed the bug was on our side.

After he reported the vulnerability and confirmed we fixed it, ... he disappeared.

This guy is a fucking badass. Who the fuck was that absolute chad? Bro hacked our shit for the love of the game and as a meme ... then just left???

Hacking is illegal and for nerds

Hi,

I will begin doing giveaways soon for the holiday season. This will be our third year doing giveaways.

This year I'll be giving away significantly less stuff because I have a baby and he doesn't respect anything except milk, food, pooping, and sleep.

Regardless, I still have lots of cool stuff to giveaway.

I'll be doing giveaways from cyberwarfarelab, CCGCyberWorld, HCAdamSec, ddd1ms, and some stuff from myself personally out-of-pocket. I forgot to harass more people for free stuff. I'm sure someone will come around.

For those new: each holiday season I giveaway a bunch of educational cybersecurity and/or information technology stuff. It's for anyone.

tl;dr cats r cool

If you had to choose between never seeing your family ever again or never being able to get on the internet ever again

Which website would you visit once your family is gone forever

In like, 2020 I read this paper from 2006 about a malware keylogging idea. It was briefly discussed on forums and some cybersecurity conventions.

No one ever produced code for the idea.

Every few months I return back to the idea and poke around for a bit.

I have no idea why I've been obsessed with this idea for FIVE FUCKING YEARS. Regardless, today after poking around some more I think I finally figured it out.

It's not even like, super cool or 1337. It's just something that's been bugging me for years. I was annoyed that no one produced code for it and I didn't get it working. It was like an itch I couldn't get to go away.

I haven't returned to the idea in so long I didn't realize these nerds kind of did it. It's not a full POC, but it's closed to what I've been toying with for awhile

Letting bro hide until the coast is clear. Fuck the police

Some silly stuff happening this Thanksgiving.

Mixpanel, a company that lets your company perform analytics on your ChatGPT slop, has been compromised. However, because Mixpanel requires you having an OpenAI account, and does analysis on your ChatGPT slop, some media outlets are mischaracterizing it as an OpenAI compromise.

Mixpanel has stated several times this is NOT an OpenAI breach presumably because they don't want Sam Altman and his group of bazillbobillionaires to physically beat Mixpanel executives to death with a shovel

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.
