Big if true. Time to stalk some folks.

I wan to get this shit working

https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues ooh cool, a forum on internet censorship

there are some people posting analyses on how it works

AUR has been infected with malware.

lol!

Arch was actually the first distro I installed too. Haven't used it in ages.

Russian govt services site (gosuslugi) now has links that redirect to some betting site.

Reminds me how I was "locked out" of the account for 72 hours for recovering my password.

But then I easily circumvented that by inspect element.

Can you imagine? I wonder how much money goes into developing that site.

Here when there is some state project of making a website for some random stuff (like Orbán had his own website about himself, on in Hungarian and one in English) then the passed the task to some web developing enterprise run by someone's nephew who "built" a Wordpress site for hundreds of thousand of € (I recall that one for Orbán was about €200K).

Uh yeah I think it's similar settis here (we call it "tenders")

But I hope they didn't just hire some random guys for this...

Well there are tenders, but all officials in the govt has some kind of pocket money budget they can spend to whatever.

 

Fun hobby idea #103: get used drives and do digital forensics on them

this one in the video for example was clearly a kohlposter's drive

 

Edit: Some more forensic techniques.

Remember: the only way to redact information is with a solid colored bar over it.

Edit 2: Law enforcement, the military and enterprise agencies often use Cellebrite for their forensics. I think their devices are mostly about extracting data from mobiles. That's a rabbithole to look into if you're ever bored.

 

Edit 3: Some blogs I found while reading some forums on the subject.

https://wise-forensics.com/2024/11/06/trailbytes/ Some interesting stuff on this site, including LSB steganography (not sure if anyone uses this unironically btw), RegEasy, Artifact Viewer, etc.

Someone told me about cold boot attack so I'll journal it here too. It's forensics related. To summarize, it is about saving the PC's RAM until it gets erased.

 

What's interesting is the lower the temperature, the longer the period of time the information is available for.

I found these 2 russian articles interesting. I'd summarize, but I feel it's a bit too much effort now.

https://xakep.ru/2023/01/17/cold-boot-attack/ - this is a recent one that actually explains how to do it with a flash drive. But you need a subscription to access the full article. Maybe I will get it one day.

 

Also there's an announced game on steam by the same name idk.

Interesting /osint/ challenge site. I found out about from this video: YouTube: SSLyQZ1TPSI

 

https://gralhix.com/

 

The ones in the video look more like geoguessr challenges THOUGH. Which I suppose is a subset of OSINT. Personally, I love structured challenges, so I think this is a good find.
