crazy cat guy?

The FBI (and apparently every other government agency on planet) has seized LeakBase, the long standing competitor to Breached, with the difference being LeakBase was more tailored to Eastern Europeans.

Hot take: Operation Leak is an unoriginal and lazy name

Also, I think Kash Patel laid off the FBI Special Graphics Unit, because I think that background is AI generated

chat, thats my next paper

In today's episode of "lol wtf the internet is silly"

- Iran malwares Iraq
- Ukraine malwares Russia
- North Korea attacking cryptocurrency exchanges
- China malwares a bunch of countries
- Chinese nerds infect iOS apps (lol)
- North Korea oopsies, infects PC from GTA V mods

I have a stupid question

If they do age verification on everyone, making it so only adults can only visit some websites, that pushes people under age to certain parts of the internet that don't require age verification.

... doesn't that make it easier for pedophiles ... ?

... like, if the government pushes all the children and teenagers to parts of the internet that don't require age verification ... and all the adults do age verification ... doesn't that just create a massive hangout for children and potential predators ... ? Am I crazy?

For those curious, "Lick" is facing some pretty serious charges. He has successfully racked up the standard cybercrime stuff but with bigger and fancier numbers
- Wire fraud (with a sprinkle of Theft of government property (18 U.S.C. §641)): 30 years in prison
- Money laundering: 20 years in prison
- Conspiracy (aggravated, US contractor, position of power).

Under current sentencing guidelines, if "Lick" pleads guilty and begs for forgiveness, he is facing 15 - 30 years in prison. If he walks into the court telling the Judge to suck his dick and starts urinating on the walls, he will receive 50 years in prison.

I don't know what kind of programming logic allows a full DB dump on an HTTP Get, but it is very sophisticated and my little brain just doesn't understand

Today Donald Trump fired Kristi Noem (lady in charge of DHS) while she was live on television.

I have never seen someone in this prestigious a position fired on live television (or any position, for that matter).

I'm not implying anything with this post.

But, it made me very, very, very, confused. I'm working on this new code thingy, check the internet, and I see this lady fired while she's doing a live press conference, she didn't even know she was fired yet and the banner on the screen says shes fired.

I'm like ???

Some people asked if I'm trolling. No, I am not trolling, he seriously fired this lady on live tv

I have finished my Polymorphic Mutation Engine. It is very silly.

I spent hours, probably 6 hours or more, debugging trying to figure out why it wasn't mutating correctly.

Then it dawned on me Visual Studio was optimizing out segments of my code which made it break.

Big drama on the internet today as someone on Reddit posts a video tutorial on how to perform a self-orchiectomy at home (removal of the testicals).

Please do not perform surgeries on yourself.

Because people asked, "what's a Polymorphic Mutation Engine?", we'll talk about it. Truthfully, the name sounds kind of dangerous, or exotic, but in theory and implementation it's not too bad. The primary issue is it requires some prerequisite knowledge and if you don't have it, it gets funky and goopy really fast.

If you're familiar with high-level programming with class inheritance, this is not the same as object oriented polymorphism.

When coding (in literally any language) there is a concept of a mutation engine. As is tradition, it sounds fancy, but if you break it down it makes sense.

What's an engine? If you think of an automobile engine (beep, beep), it's what propels the vehicle forward using a bunch of really small explosions, or something, whatever the fuck "combustion" is.

Likewise, an "engine" in programming is something that takes something in and it results in ... a result.

An engine in a vehicle takes gasoline (something in) and the engine results in "a result" (propulsion, vehicle being able to move). You have a lot of different engines in programming such as search engines, rendering engines, game engines, etc.

In that particular case, a Polymorphic Mutation Engine receives something (code) and then mutates it (changes it). It is called "Polymorphic" because it means Poly (many) - Morph (changes). It changes many times.

Mutation engines have two different components.
1. The thingy you want to change (code)
2. The thingy that does the changes (the engine).

How you implement both these components is tricky because you have to solve problems such as:
1. Where am I going to store the code that changes?
2. How will the engine make sure each "change" is unique?

Many people have the false belief that a mutation engine means the code changes as it runs, but that isn't necessarily true. While that is technically* possible, it is exceptionally rare and profoundly difficult to implement in any reasonable manner. How self-rewriting code is implemented is outside the scope of this, but it is only achievable with assembly (to the best of my knowledge, I haven't seen it in any other language).

Mutations usually occurs during "mutation events", basically a time when a program can safely change itself without everything imploding. These are usually:
1. Compilation time
2. Infection time
3. ???

Primitive mutation engines change when the binary is compiled. There are many examples of this online. The code is the same, but when you click "build" the result is different each time (the .exe looks different). This is achieved (usually) with a bunch of fancy macros.

More sophisticated mutation engines change code when it infects another program. How this is achieved is also kind of outside the scope of this because it requires a pretty heavy prerequisite knowledge on Microsoft PE files (.exe or .dlls).

??? because this is basically any other time your code can change without is imploding into itself. In my case, with my Polymorphic Mutation Engine, my program changes itself each time it terminates. In other words, when it finishes running and Windows says "ok mr. program go back to the harddrive", this is when my code takes the opportunity to mutate.
