In this case maybe all VOAT users would get same PDF payload tainted response due to URL adornment attribute sneakily placed on the example URL in this posting. Of maybe all users everywhere get the same payload, no matter what, but the ones from voat have their IPs logged for "high interest" by the infiltration team at fbi

Hello FBI shill. Malware distribution and also TARGETED malware distribution, and also FROM FBI targeted malware distribution, is a bad thing.

MY POST IS NOT ABOUT PDFs, it is about FBI targeted malware distribution to voat readers, via PDFs

I'd use a OSS PDF reader on Linux & symlink it with something like "firejail $appname"

Linux latest version from adobe has exploits, but it is also from 2013 (v 9.5.5). Most people oin linux use other , sometimes vulnerable (rarely) PDF viewers.

Completing the action is a HTTP 'get', with essentially back and forth traffic on the way to the web linked pdf file. After your machine is compromised with backdoor, traffic can be bidirectional, or delayed, or trigger activated.

ARE YOU INSANE?!

Attack the messenger (me)? Why not address the MESSAGE? Criticize the content of my warnings on the FBI malware being sent to voat readers? I may know the answer fed shill. Did you even read and understand my post? It was sourced appropriately.

Oh good, I'm not the only one that noticed.

Yea. Sounds like a lot of technical outrage from people with very little technical understanding.

I’m not surprised at all that it leads back to the one GA sub that existed long before the other two. Maybe it’s just the conspiracy nut in me, but it seems like someone is trying to overthrow that sub. It didn’t work the first time when TA migrated, but they sure are persistent.

It could or should just put a WARNING next to it, like "WARNING : PDF !"

Science papers are all published in PDF and we need to offer links to those, even if many are full of malware.

Its how you draw them to your screen that is the problem. Many PDFs are contaminated to get in your computer and if NOT FBI, steal "steam account" passwords, bank passwords, credit card info, BITCOIN WALLET passphrases, EA Origin login account info, and far far more. Some install generic backdoors into your operating system for later use, or modify your BIOS, or your EFI boot partition code.

Everyone reads and uses PDFs, its just that you need to use the safest way to open them, or convert them and open the converted ones.

Well I figure before the civil war they'll try to disappear us all.

Yea, there's no reason to open anything other than script blocked browser links.

Officially , none in CVE except ability to read old global unix environment flags (a non-issue) :

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/10916/Apple-Mac-Os-X-Preview.app.html?vendor_id=49

so 1000 CVE exploits for Adobe's PDF viewer, 10 for Foxit, and 0 for Apple's semi-OK free PDF viewer.

Crensch also defends a child porn solicitor that's into blood rituals.

interesting link.

I never knew about that thread where GA mod Crensch showed such disrespect for a dead voater (died from a "siezure"):

great question! great solution

A Classic PDF can be printed in a public domain "GhostScript" Postscript renderer, enhanced for page break control. This stream meant to be sent to a PostScript capable printer can be considered EXTREMELY SAFE.

Think of it as PRINTING A PDF to a new SAVED PDF.

The problem? Weird obfuscation for line speed in Apple's operating system to use a large token database lookup table sent with the document to APPLE postscript devices.

Another problem... wierd DRM control that does no actual DRM other than DRM authentication itself, forcing some documents to be very nonstandard PDF. Ghostscript DOES support PDF passwords (used on self published ebooks).

How to Use Ghostscript

Using Ghostscript with PDF files :

https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/current/Use.htm#PDF

Ghostscript has been around since 1986 as far as I recall. Now it is used by the security paranoid to "scrub" pdfs for use on their other devices.

You can even use it to actually render into PNG images, but that crap cannot be text searched.

Gab.ai = gabbai = "an Aramaic word that means tax collector, but today a gabbai is someone who assists with the reading of the Torah."

Always in plain sight. They're incorporated in a popular Jew place. "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves." ― Lenin

Gab is controlled by Israeli Mossad . This isn't much of a surprise.

You can't really even trust links. From a security perspective, I'm telling you it's really hard to hide. The only real defence is there's too many of us. They joined up to do good but find themselves increasingly suppressing reactionaries, those reacting as a result to government policy. Each round of elections is a new opportunity to see how much they can get away with, the slow creep, but it's not the only slow creep. It starts off with the mad people, the fringes of society who are easily condemned but as the powers that be grow much and more demanding they find that the proportion of the population that are canaries grows each time, like a rising tide they pat their own backs each time a wave recedes but the next wave comes in ever stronger, relentless, growing, pulsating. Each time the canaries are more in number and increasingly closer to salient, increasingly less paranoid and increasingly aware of real threats. Increasingly the scale tips such that more of the mad are more pathologically threat blind than threat adverse. You go from the mad being people seeing threats that aren't there to people being mad who don't see threats that are there. The pendulum swings, the wheel turns, the scales tip.

not me. But I am easy to out, if you try, I only change my name now and then over many many years here to avoid over doxxing.

I never even really heard of that alt, nor that subverse, but now i will subscribe to https://voat.co/v/webofslime , as upon first glance, it piques my interest.

I tend to follow only the main subverses.

Adding any tag after a ? at the end of a web address is read by the receiving website. The retrieving website can use that info to identify the source of the traffic or the specific link that directed the websurfer to the site. This is basic php programming..

Any amazon affliate tag is after the ? For example.

Nothing fake about it. If you think off links are fine and auto downloading links of any kind are ok you are literally a fucking tard. Or a jew.

Its logged by the FBI so that they know WHICH machines infested are voat users.
