<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> lol holy shit that’s *very* malware-esque</p><p>gonna try de-obfuscate &amp; process it to see what’s in there?</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAFUCK</p>

<p>i deobfuscated the JavaScript and it&#39;s ... literally just MooTools, an ancient JavaScript framework. think jQuery or something.</p><p>so yes, literally this: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@easrng@pleroma.envs.net/114334884311562415" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@easrng@plerom</span><span class="invisible">a.envs.net/114334884311562415</span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@brouhaha" class="u-url mention">@<span>brouhaha</span></a></span> they have kernel drivers too</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> <br />Ah. Couldn&#39;t be bothered to create an actual kernel driver, I suppose. Bloody typical.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> oh I know this one! for some reason a lot of modern IP cameras still come with an ActiveX OCX plugin for live viewing. not even just no-brand ones, either. major global retail ones. in 2025. it&#39;s extremely bonkers.</p>

<p>i don&#39;t believe it&#39;s _related_, but shortly after opening that page it hung Chrome and then when i ran `sudo dmesg` my laptop hard-rebooted for seemingly no reason</p><p>i have the kernel save oops logs to pstore but it didn&#39;t do so, so it wasn&#39;t a kernel panic at least (or if it was, it panicked too hard to be able to use EFI runtime services...)</p>
