Ransomware - Vidya Edition

Here's a friendly reminder that you should update Windows and turn on your firewall unless you want the hottest new ransomware encrypting your vidya collection and forcing you to pay $300 shekels to get it back.
Please considering stickying this shit to help keep anons safe
I even included a comfy vidya-related image if that helps

You have to be pretty stupid to get ransomware on your PC in the first place.

Funny joke.
Mate.

Im upset, theres not enough samusXrock /ss/ on the internet.

Why haven't you written a ransomware and starting raking in the shekels yet Holla Forums?

Make some ransomware demanding more of it.

Well, 99% of computer users happen to be stupid.

Because turning the bitcoins into real money is hard.

But think of all the alpaca socks you could buy.

I misread this as Alpha Cocks

The last time I actually tried to get security updates they wouldn't even download.
Besides: That stuff ain't magical, you likely have to do something stupid to get it

...

...

How about just not running random .exe files downloaded from the internet?

BUT IT SAID INVOICE.PDF.EXE???

Ah yes, remember to always keep your version of Microsoft Windows 10 up to date for all the newest security software. Wouldn't want to get infected by that nasty malware! Trust in Microsoft to keep your computer and personal information safe.

The reason OP even mentions this is because there was a big wave of it earlier today all over the world, apparently. I'd honestly never even heard of this sort of virus until last year, it sounds pretty interesting.

It's not like they'll switch over to Linux anytime soon.

/ss/ is gay though

/ss/ is the straightest fetish there is

Fucking Windowscucks, how many times is it going to take getting pwned for you to realise how terrible your pathetic excuse for an operating system is and install GNU/Linux? Is MUH VIDYA really worth the NSA backdoors that Microshit willingly puts in their OS?

Fuck off, Tux. No one likes you.

...

have an upboat, ledditor

Fuck that.

This is like being a fedora except about OSs instead of religion. You're not wrong but holy shit you are a gigantic faggot that should just kys already.

We got an email circulating on our company today warning everyone that the suspicious mails from senders like [email protected]/* */ are malware.
I guess the broken english, the broken images and html fomartting and the shaddy attachement weren't enough warning for some people, since 4-5 threats poped up on our screens and it took 30 minutes to get a third of our network locked out.

It's pretty funny how Microsoft and Apple keep trying to make computers easier to use so any idiot can "go online". If you ask me, computers should be HARD to use so we don't get idiots like this within 100 miles of a keyboard.

Also
Let me tell you something, shithead.
Any other /baph/ lurkers feel free to correct me.
There's two kinds of virus today. Outdated shit that only poor nigerian "hackers" and 15 year olds use and the "0day" attacks.
The first type is so known and well diagnosed any piece of shit anti-virus will pick it up. Even the fucking windows defender.
The 0day are called that because they're new: noone knows about them because they didn't exist before. They take 3 to 4 months to get analyzed for heuristic paterns, added to a database and then they turn into the first category.

Anti-virus are fucking pointless because they'll only protect you against the first kind. You're better off if you use protection against both. Something called "common sense".
Here, let me show you:
STEP 1
Do you know anything about computers? No? Then step away from the computer.
Jump to step 6.
STEP 2
Does that *.exe come from a truste source?
No? Then don't open it.
STEP 3
Does the address that link points too look suspicious? Does it have weird parameters?
Yes? Then don't click on it.
Step 4
Did the site you opened redirect you somewhere else when it shouldn't?
Yes? Then close your browser. It might already be too late.
Step 5
Did your friend really needed to send you that "funny_cats_compilation.avi.exe"?
No? Then it wasn't really your friend sending you that. Don't open it.
Step 6
You are now immune to virus. Congratulations.

If you're deadset on opening "nake_ladies.exe" because this time it might actually contain a naked ladie in need of help and the mighty serpent needs slaying, then:
DON'T DO THAT SHIT ON A WORK COMPUTER
DON'T DO THAT SHIT ON AN IMPORTANT COMPUTER
DON'T DO THAT SHIT ON A NORMAL COMPUTER
DON'T DO THAT SHIT AT ALL

If you clicked on it anyway, congratulations. You either found some great porn (2.37% chance) or you got a computer-aids (38475638476.34% chance)
If you wanna live with this odds, then learn to remove virus by hands.
NO, THAT DOESN'T MEAN DOWNLOADING A "VIRUS REMOVE TOOL" YOU STUPID FUCK
It means learning how the virus fires, what triggers, what registry keys to edit, what files to delete, what processes to kill.
It means getting aquainted with ProcessExplorer, CCleaner and a bunch of other tools that you might need to diagnose shit.

Alternatively, get a Virtual Machine, boot it with some Windows 7 and make sure it's isolated from the host machine RTFM if you don't know how to ensure this.
Then try your stupid shit in it. Worst that can happen is you lose 5 minutes burning the VM, but hey, that's 70% of the reason people use VM's anyway.

go fuck yourself, CIA nigger

Pwned predates reddit by several years, newfag.


Kill yourself, Microshill, nobody likes your garbage products.


If anyone's the giant faggot deserving of death, it's you.

...

...

Oh and by the way:
The firewall only works if you're not the administrator on your machine. If you can install games on it, you're an administrator.
That means any virus will install itself useing your own credentials, pop up to your firewall and say "excuse me, mister, can I please pass and bring these 30gb of personal information?".
Why would the firewall stop it? It has your fucking credentials, it must be legit.
Yeah, before some /g/entoo man gets pedantic, some malware uses ports that will be blocked even with the right credentials. As far as I've seen, that kind of shit stopped being usual in the last years. Only asian idiots still get trapped by a firewall after stealing the victims credentials.
Plus, there's that SYSTEM user windows has built in, anyone that doesn't have shit for brains figured out that you can bypass a firewall with that shit, and it comes built-in with every windows installation anyway.

Coinbase

So do fedoras and trench coats. That didn't stop them from ruining it, nigger.

This is a pretty clever way to get all the lingering Windows 7/8 users to patch in more annoying updates they disabled when 10 was coming out. I think I'll stick with the age-old cure-all: not being retarded.

Quality post, but this particular ransomware exploits a vulnerability that was patched back in March. Otherwise I'd definitely recommend the whole "install Linux and boot Windows 7 in a VM" routine.

I want to do this but I am lazy as fuck.

Same, why is it that it's popping up now of all times? I would have expected something like it alongside some dumb shit like the celebrity nude photo leaks or whatever from a few years back when retards were all trying to download well known and disreputable files, but it doesn't seem like there's anything like that going around right now.

Looks like i'm dual booting forever.

Let me give you some insights into the wonderfull world of malware and anti-virus:

Some email-lists come pre-marked with "this guy is an idiot" so you can tell easy marks that click shady shit without a second thought from normal people.
From there, two things happen.
The most usual is that the company will notify their anti-virus producer. Usually with a very angry call, threats of revision of their annual 5000$ contract.
The anti-virus company steps on it, visits the affected company, provides tech support like slaves and quarantines the virus.
Since the guy sent it to a lot of targets, pretty much every anti-virus company will get called in for overtime.
In a week or two, the virus is quarantined, categorized into a database, and every major anti-malware producer has coverage against it.
Microsoft might take 5 to 7 months to update their shit though.

You never hear about it on the news, it's only talked in tech circles and noone gives a shit until it happens again 2 months later.

OR
The IT guy is a fucking idiot that got his job because of his Powerpoint skills, simply-reformats the computers over and over again (while another in the same network keeps infecting the "clean" ones) and doesn't call it in.
Then someone takes a pendrive home, spreads it there and his friends receive some strange email from him. One of his friends will click it (because in hundreds of people, there's bound to be a couple idiots) and further spread it.
Then it's massive, worldwide, A HUGE PROBLEM, OH GOD IT'S Y2K ALL OVER AGAIN, SAVE US TECHNO JESUS!
Aka: it's the same shit, just takes longer and affects more people.

Now consider how connected shit is today, how many people use things like googledocs/googledrive and cloud services like Dropbox.
Shit just spreads too fast nowadays, so when scenario 2 happens, it's a nightmare.

I'm fully expecting some damage control from Microsoft and other anti-malware companies in a few days.
Like the last time.
And the time before that.
And the time before that one too.

WELCOME TO THE INTERNET, WHERE RETARDS GET THEIR JUST DESSERT

No, fuck you, I quite like "pwned" and I won't let normalfags and reddit take it away.
The user you're replying it to used it in the correct way.
Reddit and normalfags always misuse it, it's not hard to tell.

Because I don't fucking have contraband on my computer, faggot. Unlike you, they have nothing on me.

also I play video games
also I buy my music and video games

I'm not against taking it back, but as it stands it has been forgotten and picked up by the scum of the earth congregating on leddit and 4/b/ so they can post it on their facebook sites for upboats.
Maybe we can meme it into hate speech like pepe.

Wouldn't be hard, just associate it with rape. I mean it should be associated with rape anyway.

Don't forget that using a noscript extension and others, like the EFF privacy badger extension, can help block a lot of malicious redirects. Not always, but it's useful for that fourth step.

what are you, gay?

Hey, folks memed "gg no re" into a toxic expression that makes millenials shit their keyboards in rage.


It's the same problem the word "epic" suffered. I don't mind hearing that word in the correct context. When something is Epic, it just is.
I don't feel the cring I get when someone says "OMG, this burger is EPIC!".

That's actually how I tell normalfags apart from Holla Forumsirgins and Holla Forumstards.
Posters here usually don't use such words unless it's warranted since communication (especially text-based) is essential to imageboard culture.
normalfags and their facebook sterile memes don't give a damn and spout words they don't fully understand for e-cred.

That's why "meme" around this parts means an idea being spread through repetition and mutation, while on facebook "meme" simply means image macro.

When I hear normalfags say the word "chan" it irks my skin because they don't really get what a chan is. On Holla Forums you get some folks that take ofense to the word and prefer "imageboard" but since it's Holla Forums, I think both words are okay to use here.

You know, I usually ommit that because I figure that the more people suck up the shitty ads that now exist in every website, the cheaper everything is for me.
If you're smart enough to figure out that there must be a way to disable that shit, you're smart enough to figure out that some ads might be malicious and some aren't even ads: they're simply malware.

The stupid should either humble themselves and seek council, or subject themselves to the hardships of life.
Like watching a 15 second ad before every YouTube video.

But yeah, at the very least, noscript. That shit already saved my ass a bunch of times.
I just get a raging hardon when I see those whack-ass scripts blocked. Some even ask the user to disable noscript today.
"Please mister, let me infect you, please!"

Those are always a riot. As are websites that bitch at you for having an adblock. I always remove those elements as well.

Do you even play porn games?

I cannot for the life of me ever not get angry when I hear some 12 year old say shit like lol and omg out loud. It turns my fucking intestines inside out.

I fucking miss epic.

Can someone explain to me the point of this pci passthrough meme?
When I looked it up it was all about dedicating your entire fucking graphics card and a monitor to the virtual machine, never to be used by anything else until you re enable it for one or the other. Like I got to give up half my hardware just to get better windows vidya? I get that my desktop isn't doing anything with it, but there are actually some linux compatible video games and old games run completely fine on wine.

Why the fuck would I do this? Whats the fucking point over just dual booting? What software are is both going to need to be open while playing video games and isn't available to windows?

Reminder that the ransomware those hospitals got were all worms. They spread through the LAN probably because some retard clicked on a bad link or downloaded something stupid. You've nothing to worry about unless you watch 3D porn.

The advantage of a direct passthrough of your card would be that you don't have to work around quirks that wine might has and omit the performance dent you would get if you had an additional layer between da gaym and the hardware doing the work. And you wouldn't need to dualboot.
Since this thread is security oriented I might add that there are legitimate security concerns when doing this since you are really handing over your hardware to the guest system for full usage, that's why Projecst like Qubes urge you to not do it or be really fucking careful.

I'm glad I'm not the only one

Or you're in the same network as the retard.
Ended up wasting 15 minutes installing windows defender on her computer to stop this shit.

I thought the new ransomware exploits a vulnerability in something like Windows SMB or some crap like that which was also a vector of infection.

...

...

...

Now you know what's for dinner tonight.


The "exe" stands for extremely emportant.


I miss people not being complete fuckwits.

Boldfags confirmed gay as fuck.

...

Jokes on you faggot, I use gnu/linux with a win 7 dual boot

Everything in that image is a good thing though.

Only if it's a derivative of Linux. Programs you develop on Linux do not need to be open source.

'Graphics' is a meme

HA HA HA, FOOLISH ANONYMOUS

I always think that chair is her butt.

Didn't this ransomware "attack" mostly affect old Windows 2003 servers and XP workstations with WU turned off, that weren't getting security patches for years?
That's why it mostly affected corporations and hospitals rather than domestic users.


afaik most ransomware infections happen through javascript exploits rather than clicking on trust_me_im_not_a_virus.exe, usually in compromised ad servers. Another reason javascript and Web 2.0 / 3.0 are cancer.

How can js encrypt files on your computer?

This seems like a good thread to ask: is it safe to get security patches again or is Microsoft still doing that forced upgrade bullshit?

wu.krelay.de/en/

So in addition to making every site less annoying, adblock+noscript actually keep viruses away? That's fucking hilarious if true

Should have used noscript, casual

JS can be used to inject / download and run executable code on the machine of the dumbass who's using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome without at least an ad blocker.

Wew. I know js is shit, but I'm surprised it's really allowed to touch the user's files.

That explains it, thanks user

That's pretty obvious.
Best AV protection there is, is browsing with Chromium or Opera + uBlock Origin (w/ Fanboy's Ultimate and Malwaredomains lists) + NoScript.

If you pirate and often download cracks or other .exe files that can be suspicious, just scan it on virustotal or use the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (an offline, manual av that's only active when you run the program).

And of course never forget to disable autorun for all devices, dumbass. Should be one of the first things to be done on a new Windows install (preferably on the Group Policy Editor or the Registry rather than on Control Panel)

u wot

lol

I know, but regarding malware protection, Opera is still the safest browser imo.
As far as tinfoilhattery is concerned, I'd rather let the gooks spy my loli futa hentai searches on Gelbooru rather than the NSA with IE, the kikes with Chrome or the Soros-funded useful idiots with SJWfox.

Mate, if you're paranoid about the browsers phoning home just use a fork, like Chromium or Palemoon.

...

fuck off, retard.

That is not how it works user, first you use Opera and the chinks get your data, then the NSA picks your info at the ISP level and gives it to the Jews, who will sell it to Soros eventually.

All of these have never let me down in over 10 years
Do you have better suggestions, user? I'm willing to hear and try them if they sound interesting.


I'm not just a bit, but I think the user I replied to is


Fuck this shit. Pale Moon used to be good, but dev has gone full retard and since v27.x it's completely fubar.
Dev has gone so retard that now the official site actually complains if you're using an ad blocker.

Is there any web browser that is worth using over it?

Sounds like microsoft is trying to do this to force an upgrade.

eww and maybe w3m

They didn't like the competition from those fake tech centers swindling grandma for 100 bucks.

Some tech fag stopped the spread, still doesn't help those who are already infected archive.is/EWz6L

call me autistic, but I have to see the results myself

Cmon guys stop using common sense 2014 and stop falling for /g/ memes that tell you to completely disregard updates.

Does the newest update for Win10 let me get rid of the All Programs list in the start menu?

I honestly just use the tiles and manually type any program I don't have on my tiled start menu into the search if I need it.

I'm willing to update everything then spend an hour debotnetting it if it means getting rid of the shitlist.

...

Image sauce?

So what's a good way to manually scan individual items? Apparently a bunch of weebs got fucked by some chink's vn "crack."

Never happened to me, I turn off windows update and get the security roll ups patches with wsusoffline on every machine.

There's your problem.


Sorry m8, no idea, I'm not really much of a weeb.

Yes you can,

But at least for me, half the programs in my system won't come up when i search them in the search box, they do appear in the start menu list though

What crack was this?

...

just gonna take a guess a say this was what he was talking about

japanator.com/wait-pirates-that-cross-days-download-is-a-trap--14143.phtml

tl;dr they were retarded enough to give a cracked program their name and address and let it connect to the internet and the devs leaked this along with desktop screenshots to a site and had them pay a ransom to remove it

Nah, it was for some shitty nukige fit shichao. The slightly less shady chinks were a day or two late in cracking it and weebs are impatient.

WTF I HATE PALEMOON NOW!

i'd personally give 2 shits if i ever get exposed like this

It would be cool if people find a way to anonymously upload fake data and some desktops said " i pirated this game because it's shit"

I have Malwarebytes, so I'll be OK.

this

...

...

is that why you constantly use redtext and capslock?

Lots of sites complain about adblockers. Until they start restricting access for people using them I don't give a shit. Are there any real reasons I should stop using PM?

I use'em cause I like'em.
If your eyes hurt, I can lick them.

never heard of this and it looks interesting. is it legit?

Wish I'd saved the screencaps, but there was one piece of Russian malware that would ignore PCs with a Russian keyboard layout, and also, it was nice enough to blacklist certain folder locations from being encrypted, primarily system-critical ones but it even had some common game folders, including LoL. Really sweet of them.

Has there ever been ransomware disdguised as vidya? Like "beat this game to get your OS running"?

I dunno if its true but there's thisd

...

How much do you want to bet that it is (((Microsoft))) that made the ransomware?

...

Even worse than just paying money

Man, if that's real that's pretty cool, but goddamn it I suck at bullet hell games, I don't think I could beat that. I've played a few but I can never get very far.
How do you get good?

just play without giving up on learning the patterns and you'll learn it. It's kinda like learning japanese
Nice dubs btw

Tell me Holla Forums why dint you installed Gentoo?

There's a tool to prevent people from using your local network bandwidth

It doesn't have to even be (You) that gets the ransomware, anyone on your local network (read: your shitty fucking family) can fuck up every connected computer.

So, never turn on my computer?

in my experience the best antivirus is regedit.exe and the task manager

But for ransomware though.

Keep backups of important shit

I hate the hassle of reinstalling the os and important software.

then literally stop being retarded

...

Linux makes backups actually piss easy since all you have to do is copying the /home folder somewhere and when your current /home folder is fugged up you can just delete the /home folder and copy&paste the old /home folder back to its place. I dont know exactly if the procedure is the same for / which probably requires a few more steps since it also contains stuff like the boot loader such as GRUB2. The only downside of that is that any packages installed via apt-get and the like needs to be installed again.

what program is used to make those animations?

...

cool security blankets, do they keep you warm at night?

What is what all the misinformed people?

The wannacry ransomware spreads by mail. It will send itself to your contacts, if you get a suspicious mail dont open it. The particular version that widespread was however stopped before it could go viral in America , you can still caugh the virus but it wont encrypt data.
The exploit was already patched on updates released Thursday night for windows 10 and yesterday updates for 7, 8, and even XP rolled out.

not really. But a cute girl would

You're sounding like a fucking nut. Gentle adblock reminders are honest and don't affect functionality of the site. They're not forcing anything on you and you are free to ignore them.

At least explain how the devs have gone full retard before you get completely written off

You also need to re do any change you had made to the system. Its not so easy as it sounds. Then again you probably use some babys first distro with default settings

The only reason Linuxfags can be smug is because nobody bothers to write malware for your minority OS.

Year of the Linux Desktop would actually be incredibly bad because it'd show how much of a cobbled-together piece of shit the majority of distros are.

...

nice try microshill
go die

...

I think it's LIVE2D, it might be too late to reply now but i am very autistic when it comes to helping people on imageboards

If you don't celebrate a little to yourself every time you ruin some website's attempt to put one over on you with anything you're a fucking idiot that shouldn't be using a computer in the first place ala

Your dad's computer is Mr. Burns.

I very much agree to this, Pride gives at least a hint of meaning to our existence and without it we are left without any trace of ambition and ultimately on the road of becoming full-fledged submissive cucks be it in relationship, morally and lifestyle-wise.

True humility also has the same effect as long as it has an ascetic backing. Social submission is the death of the soul, though.

friendly reminder that you should install gentoo

Its Facerig with the live 2D plugin. Goes on sale for $5 sometimes on Steam.

fuck

It's almost like you don't want to have 5 updates a week that are actually tested.

Immediately seek the good graces of the Gas Chambers if you are not THIS prepared you lower level plebians.

Or, you know, I could just not be a cretin about what I do on the internet.

What a time to be alinuxfag.

Install OpenBSD, you Windows kiddy in denial. Or don't because I don't want fags like you shitting up the community LMAO

Meme OS.

Hysterical

...

Autism is a mental illness.

If you say so, you should know.

Not even an issue of windows or not, it's an issue of being a fucking idiot or not, you don't need anti-virus programs, you just need common sense

Poster confirmed for clueless.

You are most likely refering to the wncry shit which uses an exploit to fuck people over.
However your ISP should drop any packets directed at sensible ports anyways.

Yeah, anyone with a sliver of common sense would keep their windows machine offline at all times. How else would you keep out viruses that connect to Windows' services and perform buffer overflow attacks that then download and automatically run any viruses they want?

Haven't had any issues other than in my younger years where I stupidly downloaded things carlessly off the internet user, so long as you're not an idiot with what you do on the internet, it shouldn't be too much of a problem

Oh god don't give faggot ISPs any ideas. This is shit that a firewall should be doing.

Common sense alone won't keep you safe, stop propagating this myth. It's also down to every single bit of code on your computer not having security holes. Games are not something I'd trust online, they're usually awfully coded at the best of times.

The only "common sense" that actually works is to keep the machine offline all the time.

But common sense does keep you safe. Virus protection and Windows updates are just safety blankets for the tech-retarded.

Yeah in theory. In practice, Windows is a pile of shit so vast that you cannot possibly even grasp how many security holes it has. On my last Windows installation I only used open soruce software and licensed games, and still got an adware virus out of the ass. And the piece of shit also killed my anti-viruses and spoofed my internet connection to prevent me from accessing legit sites, instead redirecting to malicious lookalike sites. Fuck that piece of shit. The 1.5 games I own that only run on Windows absolutely not worth this kind of humiliation from my own god damn OS. Linux does everything I need it to do and all the games I like run on it fine.

Lets see if common sense protects you from virus embedded in pngs , in ads or other stuff, you are just talking out of your ass, or only use the internet to browse the tip of the iceberg, but you are not at all wrong, if all i did was browse reddit, youtube and facebook i probably won't need AV

that's what you get for streaming porn

It's your own fault.

virii hidden in image files need to rely on a vulnerability in the program you use ot open them
who doesn't use adblock/umatrix?

stop fearmongering

I've been to some shady russki sites but I've never seen any of that shit.

Also, here's a crazy idea: How about not storing vital data on a computer connected to the web in the first place?

Oh right I didn't mention, I also didn't go to less than stellar reputation websites on that installation. It also had a bunch of different adblockers.

That's what Wise is for.

Snake oil, yes.

When they're not of the variety forcing Windows 10 and spyware, they're actually useful for fixing remote holes.


Also this, remember that one Arabic string that would cause iPhones to crash? Browsers are also a serious security risk, why do you think most modern console hacks start there?


You're dense.

ITT: Really gullible anons that stream porn or go to other misc questionable sites and don't use proper addons for blocking ads

What the fuck does that have to do with not being an idiot and installing blocking software?

Look i know you are going to do mental gymnastics to deny all possiblities, but internet browsers are such programs, 2 years ago there were exploits used in Webm videos to hack chrome and firefox.

If somebody were to post a malformed PNG on 8ch of course, but nobody would ever do that!

And that's on top of "common sense" being little more than glorified condescension.

My point is that if a PNG can fuck your system, you're doing something wrong.

All checks out.

You're running a web browser, you're already doing it wrong. You also speak poorly of system-level security fixes, the sort of holes that a web browser hack could use to get higher-level privileges, see also 3DS, ARM11 usermode (browserhax) to ARM11 kernel mode (fasthax) to ARM9 (safehax). Windows is not known for its security. Hell, even Linux systems, the NVIDIA driver blob has been used to gain kernel privileges by being a buggy piece of shit.

...

Oh user, why cant everyone be like you? We should all create our own web browsers, and only use our computers innawoods with a modem made solely from tree bark and sap and powered by a hamster on a wheel.

At this point I like to think even a cobbled together piece of shit software with the bare minimum to display web pages is better than the average Chrome or Firefox fork.

...

What are some good add-ons and extensions for pale moon?

Thanks for confirming the whole thing is a kike psyop so they can give us the real spyware, OP.

Opera was ruined long before that, though, when they stopped development on the real Opera browser and turned it into Chrome-Wearing-An-Opera-Costume.

I wish someone would develop a new browser based on classic Opera's model, like Pale Moon did with Firefox.

At least he didn't try to google "facebook big fat tittys".

sums it up man.

Anyone who doesn't know how to use a computer free of the kikes by now has what is coming to them.

Is it time for a Rouge thread?

I want to fuck RBlaze

No it doesn't.

...

It's like they are asking for it

Ok, user, get this.
Is it possible… no bare with me here.
Is it possible to have your main system with windows seven that doesn't connect to the internet ever and is used as a file storage while a virtual windows 10 machine is used as your main work/game/internetbrowsing computer?
Is that possible? Will that make your data immune to virus?

You answered yourself with that picture

Most of that is just installing the programs you want, since config files are stored in the ~/ folder by default anyways.

Debian fag here, bretty comfy.

ipfs/QmRQGtp2L2xxLnfbjWbpcQuABbyUwWHytZCKBVzE6S7ik3/

Answer the questions!

You say that as if it needs any privilege shenanigans to begin with, when wangblows firewall allows all outgoing communication by default anyway, and only blocks incoming non-whitelisted shit.
Funnily enough, putting that shit into whitelisted-only mode will fuck with microsofts own telemetry sending shit.

What a great time to be alive! I pray this scares the normalfags away from the internet and computers.

haha fucking faggots

anyone has experienced the windows support for ext4?

I ve been considering reformatting my storage drives as ext4, but want to set some flags like noatime and data=writeback

I also want these drives to also host my games but it seems the support is driver dependant and i am not willing to put up with reduced speeds.

sorry i wasn't replying to anyone in specific

lol thanks for the credit card info fags

My nigga

hacker here, i'm going to hack your xbox by next week kiddo

…eh…

Is there any distro that is better than the rest for vidya? I've been using Wine in my experiments with void, xubuntu and manjaro but is there a distro that somehow is naturally magically better at it?
>inb4 steamOS

Good job, user.

Sorry I run GNU/Linux, I don't have to deal with Windows Problems(TM) :^)

I'll make this perfectly clear, the only clear cut difference distros have is how they prepare and distrubute packages. If you are unhappy with how your distro did a certian package like wine or doesn't even have it, the answer is get the sources yourself and compile the features you want. Great distros have features that allow you to merge your packages with their manager, allowing for easy installation, unistallation, and version management. Amazing distros permit use of other repositories, so you don't have to do anything.

Then what's the point of having ext4 then? The data to the journal will not be written and will remain dirty until sometime the system finds it nessecary. This data can not be saved by the journal if the system goes down.

In short, there would be no measurable advantage using ext4 over NTFS with "data=writeback".

that image is outdated, user

Not particularly. Although if you didn't know about PlayOnLinux, here you go:

What does this meme mean?

I don't even think I quite get what you mean but A: A local area network file storage has no business being a win7 machine and where is that win10 machine even supposed to run? Not on the win7 machine right? And if you can set up a win10 guest on a lanix machine for internet stuff you might as well go with linux

Maybe I should rephrase.
Can you use a linux machine for file storage and no internet, but with a vm running windows 10 inside it that does connect to the internet and has all your other workstation applications for gamedev and internet use?

All of this autism and you didn't even mention DPC latency. What a waste.

Yes. I'm not sure how good things like GPU passthrough are on Linux though, shit might be slow.

Please also note that putting something in a VM does not make it magically secure because again and again there are exploits that allow a guest OS to escape to the host.

Well the linux machine wouldn't technically be not connected to the internet, much less air-gaped but I will concede that if you have some attacker looking for and breaching out of VMs you know enough to attract that kind of attention anyway.
So yes it probably would work though I don't know how well win10 handles being inside a VM or rather if it restricts itself, because some applications do thatyes you can obfuscate to a guest that it is inside a VM
Depending on how much effort you want to put into this you could run Qubes and put a VPN, TOR or any other service between you and the VM.

FUCKING PLEBIANS

thx brozoufs

The only difference is fedoras are full-retard because they pretend to know something that none of us on the entire planet know, whereas Micro$hit and Jew Gates are objectively and demonstrably cancer.

So what? The ransomeware just goes random users who connect to the internet? Or is it just a reminder to not click on shifty links? The fuck is the context here? I'm not going to update my Windows 7 if I have no clue if it's necessary or not. In any case will noscript be enough or what? Honestly somebody explain.

Hello 2012. Everyone uses mpv now.

The retarded furry dev is switching addon APIs and arbitrarily breaking compatability with most firefox addons because he's too bullheaded to even consider having backwards compatability.
Then there was the outburst he had when Google wouldn't give him ad revenue so he released a patch for PM that outright ripped out Google from the browser and replaced it with DuckDuckGo (lol), to the point of needing to mod the browser to get any google functionality back.

His entire paradigm is "it's not my fault x thing doesn't work with PM, it's x website/addon/etc.'s fault for not catering to my browser!"
Which means he gets to keep his pride but the end-user has to deal with increasingly annoying compatability issues. I dropped that piece of shit and never looked back, and I use Waterfox now.

Context:

As for a real answer, wannacrypt is spread via an email link to massive corporate and hospitals, so Sheiqua and Abdul can click and infect the entire network. Such as as the hospitals in UK.

What the fuck is wrong with her face? She looks uncomfortable as fuck. Is she holding a fart/shit in?

Just download GWX Control Panel. It can be used to delete all secretly installed Windows 10 files from your computer (which there are dozens of thousands of even before you have switched to Win 10), block any further installation of Win10 files from Windows updates, and remove all notifications related to Win 10 from ever showing up.
It completely exterminates that malware known as Windows 10.

It deletes the OS itself? That's some good and thorough work. All that's left is for it installs Win7 and GNU for dual-boot.

I got raped last month by someone who attached it to an image file they posted on Holla Forums, just how the fuck was I supposed to avoid that one? I'd heard of RATs being attached in the past but never ransomware.

?

Sanboxing probably

By not using Windows.

don't trust the donut man

this would be the best advice

passthrough is very good on modern processors.
i suspect windows 10 in fine in kvm with minimal overhead but i haven't actually tried it.

Neither this nor the previous donut man do anything. Are you trying to trick me?

Yeah go off yourself Microshill.


Yeah this is why you educate your family members on that type of shit there user. I mean I literally had to rush to my mom's PC because microshill wanted to be sneaky and install the fucking win10 upgrade on her PC as she was using win7 ultimate atm. I just spoke to her about the shit and the basic common sense of if it's too good to be true then don't click on it.


Seems legit and accurate to the typical Linux/GNU tard.

Debian and Ubuntu are good. Gentoo if you already know what you're doing or like to play "fix Linux"

No, that shouldn't be possible. As far as I know you'd have to download an executable or a js file and run it MANUALLY. The js can be part of the executable or run by the WINDOWS' PARSER.
.js run by browser != run by Windows(like batch files and powershell scripts and visual basic script)

youtube.com/watch?v=O8JUsuQqaY4
You can REALLY have a .js file runnig from win script host by double clicking if I remember correctly.

YOU CAN'T RUN CODE ON SOMEONES MACHINE BY SENDING THEM AN HTML. Otherwise EVERYONE would already be infected. Normally it's part of an executable(exe) which parses the script contained in itself.

Now let's look at IE: Microsoft Browser with so many security holes that it's possible to get full access to someones PC. Would't suggest Edge either.

And Office documents: DON'T RUN ANY GODDAMN SCRIPTS INSIDE THEM THEY RUN LIKE PROGRAMS WITH USER RIGHTS which is more than enough to encrypt all user files but not enough to write to any sytemfolders. UAC does it's job.

Firewall: leave it running. IT WORKS FOR YOU, NOT AGAINST YOU.
Open firewall with extended security to block or redirect incoming or outgoing TCP or UDP connections. It can't even block other protocols but those are the most used ones anyways.

Windows Defender: DISABLE, Microsoft's cheapshit DRM. Treat's Windows activators as viruses. ALSO: ALL ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS ARE SHIT AND HAVE MORE SECURITY HOLES THAN THEY CLAIM TO FIX! And NEW viruses have to go in their database first
in order to be able to detect them.

vid in German: WinRAR imports Internet Explorer security holes. (Not really because self extracting archives are executables and thus capable of doing that anyways. Always open them manually with WinRAR by rightclicking and Open with WinRAR)

One last thing: Browser URL's can contain special characters which means some characters exist double while having a different value. This is PUNYCODE. Latest version of chromium should display those letters with xn–WIREDCODE again.
You can test it here: аррӏе.com/
if it displays as apple.com you can be tricked if it displays as xn--80ak6aa92e.com/ you know it's not apple.com writen in LATIN letters!!!

Use SRWare Iron IN INCOGNITO MODE with uMatrix, HTTPS Everywhere, SRWare WebRTC block(WebRTC can be used to get your IP throgh a fucking anonymous proxy) and Adblock with deselected accaptable ads cuz adblock can remove parts from websites while uMatrix only stops Ads from loading.

Of course some 2hu fag will be the person to make beat a game trojan.

debian with xfce, i'm a casual and it's comfy

try telling that to an office full of tech illiterates with new interns constantly coming in. this is probably to easiest way to get users to download your malware.

SHE HAS A HOLE IN HER MOUTH

Why do you think it's one of the the most common types of viruses?
Yep. German schools teach them how to write fucking JAVA bytecode but not HOW TO USE THE FUCKING EXPLORER OR HOW A FILE SYSTEM WORKS. If everone would be like the people around me, everone would be marxist communist neoliberal scum (it's probably the denazification process that tells everyone in school that they're the evil Germans who murderd the (a few) jews (comparitivly they are way more than we are and multiply while we only get less). Here you basicly get born and told that your country has only done evil things and you have to be ashamed of it which now results in nationalism and national socialism not being destingished by normalfags and neoliberalism, socialism,
marxism(They didn't even learn from the fucking DDR and still think that their COMMUNISM has never been tried before. We did a thought experiment in economy and law where we had to work in groups in order to come up with a state system: nearly everbody came up with communism and when I told them it's communism and that it doesn't work the teacher had to explain it to them) being seen as the good thing which protects them against the evil nazis who are long dead.) who can't use a computer but has a class chat room on fucking whatsapp(owned by facebook). Something needs to change.

Posting my question on Holla Forums to here because thay board is dead:

My Windows 7 installation is complete ass and I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1. I got a really old pre SP1 pirated addition of W7 and its really not working well for me. I have a lot of issues with installing and uninstalling things and issues with ownership over files. How do I upgrade to Windows 8.1 and keep most of my games, photos, documents and such?

Are you completely retarded? If windows 7 isn't playing nice with your PC the unoptimized piece of tablet-shit that is 8.1 sure as hell won't.

What a time.

I've had no problems with 8.1 on any of my computers, theres already to many problems with my Windows instalation in. I just do a full reset if I can figure out how.

Also is there anyway to reset an OS but keep all tbe pictures, documents and games or do I have to back that all up?

backup files and fresh install
how about fresh install windows 10 enterprise ltsb (n). It's on TPB. download from gen2.
last three windows versions all get spyware updates. You can disable telemetrie in group editor.

this tbh

And if I did an os reset would it affect my seperate non os drive with all my games on it?

They are INSTALLED with registery entries. That windows reset shit only keeps the non-program files. If you unplug the drive they'll stay there but I doubt you could still run them afterwards without them crashing because most programs require registery keys. And you won't be able to uninstall them anymore since the registry entries for that are gone.

Everything Vista or later needs about the same hardware to run. Your statement would be true if he tried upgrading from XP to Win 7.

What is SRWare?

German Chromium fork:
srware.net/forum/
Click on your language then select os and don't forget installing the WebRTC Block addon.

its OK if you use a virtual machine you won't get your main computer infected

could cause some issues because im assuming that you had to install them meaning they have entires into the registries. steam will surprisingly work if you plug a harddrive with a bunch of games from you library in, it just makes you wait for a couple minutes while it fixes the registry stuff

Or I could just use Malwarebytes and the plenty of decription programs that come from the community formed around malware.

I might install Windows 10, is this guide good? fdossena.com/?p=w10debotnet/index_1703.frag

My company used to pay for a service that would send fake spam to employees and take note of who clicked on it. The thing is, every one of those fake emails was immaculately formatted and typo-free. Every email we got that was actual malware was clearly written by a borderline illiterate pajeet. Apparently this tripped people up because whenever actual malware showed up half the office would fall for it.

No. That's for Home Edition fags. LTSB comes without apps, cortana and most of the bloatware

Just deselect everything when installing. Open the new settings menu deselect everything in all categorys, open the group policy editor and turn telemety off (look it up), open the task sheduler Microsoft\Windows\UpdtaeOrchestrator\Reboot deactivate (turns off forced restarts), disable Windows Defender and Defender Security Center in Registry (just look it up).

don't use an online account

and reduce indexing to the start menu

Ok i'll try it out in a virtual machine

Yeah and only use Enterprise LTSB. Pro, Home, Enterprise are even crappier.

ETERNALBLUE is only one of several unpatched Shadow Brokers exploits. The real fun starts once DANDERSPIRITZ, ODDJOB, FUZZBUNCH, DARKPULSAR, ETERNALSYNERGY, ETERNALROMANCE, EXPLODINGCAN and EWOKFRENZY start being exploited in the wild.


Pick one.

Just ban him mods, wtf! This is blatant M$hit shilling.

Yes, but that's because win10 isn't "free" anymore. Also Wsusoffline

This shit has no menu of any kind, what fucking garbage.
And it's not playing 5.1 channel audio properly.

If bad English isn't a red alert to someone they're probably illiterate and stupid enough to fall for it. Not someone you really want in a company.


I miss /jp/ ;_;


It does support 5.1 audio but maybe needs to be set up, what platform? Also no it has no UI except for the OSD, keyboard controls the rest.
