Also I thought this part was interesting:
From the river to the C:/
It turns out the malware doesn't work because it runs
subprocess.run(["rm", "-rf", "/*"])That will never delete anything, since there is no shell to expand the glob in
/*here, sormgets a literal/*as the path to delete 😭This is why you test your code, people
Which leads to the interesting question: How do the authors of infectious, destructive viruses test their code?
I'd set up an air-gapped test network. Could possibly set up some virtual hosts to emulate part of it, but I'd keep the whole setup isolated as a failsafe.
Whew, thankfully it didn’t work on my machine!
That's prettyfuvking based
That's kind of awesome
I think I'm on team malware now
Maybe now they'll figure out that they need to vote Netanyahu out of office for being a genocidal piece of shit
tbf the vast majority of that country support him and everything he stands for, so getting rid of one fascist won't change much
Right they need a properly omnicidal megalomanic no mere genocide
Unless the option
--no-preserve-rootis given, it should not execute.Fun fact:
rm -rf /requires—no-preserve-rootto work whereasrm -rf /*doesn’t.That’s because the
/*gets expanded by the shell before the command runs and it only sees the request to delete/var,/dev,/home,/usr,… recursively but not/specifically.On another note: This line in the code doesn’t run through a shell and thus this won’t work and it just tries to delete the literal path of
/*recursively - and thus fails to do any damage…That’s not malware.
That’s amazing.
It also trys to steal passwords/keys/etc, the Russian roulette part is just extra for people in Israel.
Is this considered Chaotic Good or Lawful Evil?
Definitely not evil
Eh the password stealing shit definitely is but the special conditions for "israel" are hilarious (even if their code is borked and doesn't actually work)
That’s fair. I hope Israel gets what’s coming to them.
