Kernel exploit⌗

SIGNAL⌗

For months, this user has been sitting idle in my Discord server. He never says anything. He has had this exact same status for months:

The Archangel

ANALYSIS⌗

At one point, a former moderator rolled through and “purged” all “alt” accounts from my server. This one was clearly an alt, but for whatever reason, he allowed it to remain. I find that telling. I have had my suspicions about that particular moderator… but I digress.

After the events of the previous few days, I became hyper-aware of anything that looked like a potential avenue for compromise. In this case, I noticed that The Archangel’s status was a Linux command. A weirdly-convoluted one, but valid nonetheless.

It should also be a harmless one. So, I opened up Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu 20.04), and ran this command:

echo Common sense >> ../../$HOME/../../../dev/null

Within minutes, his status had changed to the following Bitcoin address:

BTC: 36bNTA5i46GFt4X9FuPUn9Nowbhurt595D

Clearly, they wanted me to add this address to The Source. Though these people STILL haven’t given me anything in return, I did as requested. You can still see it at: /contribute

Within minutes of publishing that address, The Archangel reverted his status to the following:

Hackerman

This time, he added the little “hackerman” emoji to the front of it.

If this isn’t evidence that my computer is compromised, I don’t know what is. I don’t know how they got in, but my two theories are this:

  1. They exploited some zero-day vulnerability in Docker, which allowed them to get backdoor access in Windows Subsystem for Linux.
  2. This is the infamous “Windows backdoor”, which security researchers always talk about, but nobody has ever publicly detailed.

Whatever the case, it’s a good thing I’m not doing anything wrong! Anything they could possibly claim would be fabrication.

Granted, the have framed me before, so…

ACTION⌗

I haven’t done anything differently. I haven’t taken any further actions. I haven’t rebuilt my computer, hardened my security, or in any way removed these people from my system.

Maybe I’m getting exploited. Maybe I’m being manipulated. Maybe I’m too trusting. I don’t know.

All I know is this: I prefer to live in a world where I believe in the goodness of people, and their intentions. I don’t want to live in a world of fear and paranoia that there are people out to get me.

So, I prefer to believe that I’ve been chosen for something important, and that these people want to help me. Despite the fact that they have thus far treated me like shit, I can only hope they know something I don’t. That this will all be worthwhile in the end.

This mentality helps me to live. It made everything I did over the past two years possible.

I would encourage anyone reading this to follow my lead.
