Did the Kali repos get pwned? Updated to kernel 5.3.0 and rebooted to this. File is 8 bytes, contains just "fuck you".

Sounds like it

@terraria99 god hope it's not a global PGP cert hole

If that's true, goddamn ironic.

O shit

❤️

@Haxk20 I do sometimes; why not?

@Haxk20 Its literally just Ubuntu with loads of security testing tools built in xD

@Haxk20 Oh I'm not going to change that anytime soon :)

@linuxxx debian*

.

@Haxk20 i actually added the Kali repo to my Debian install as they have further updated shit. The kernel happens to always be newer than Debian's, so...

.

@linuxxx looks like they didn't use all this security tools on their own repo 🤣

Lmao epic rekt

@dontbeevil Elaborate?

@linuxxx it was a joke

@dontbeevil Oh I thought I might have missed some security incident or so

@linuxxx just the rant one, not strictly related, but that's my joke based on 🙂

@dontbeevil Well, then good that most of the software on there is open source. Imagine it being closed source and nobody being able to see if any if the applications might contain backdoors or similar things... then you'd have an even worse problem 😉

Update: did an apt reinstall which fixed it. Looks like package is fixed.

@linuxxx i agree, sometimes take 10/15 years for open source ones, like dirty cow or backspace login, imagine for closed source ;)

@dontbeevil I don't even want to imagine that. Reminds me of that time when a backdoor was found in SSH, I don't even want to know how it would have gone if that wouldn't have been open source 😧

@Parzi I know it is 20d after the incident but did you check the hashes? Are you sure that nobody changed those distros? Also do you know what actualy happened?

@Gregozor2121 Against what, no idea, and no, the Kali team has been ignoring me.

@Parzi They have hashes on their websites but i think they are only for he whole distro

@Gregozor2121 which i'm not using, yes.

Security is an illusion
