The internet blackout in #Iran is now in its 63rd day after 1488 hours.

The extended censorship measure presents a barrier for friends and families abroad checking in on loved ones' safety and wellbeing.

🛰️ #Iran's internet blackout is now in its tenth week, entering day 64 of near-total isolation from international networks.

The shutdown is accompanied by a regime crackdown on VPNs and satellite terminals, with alarming reports of a Starlink user killed during inspection raids.

"It is utterly confusing how the divinity is being taught nowadays; let us therefore take the doctrine into our own hands, examine it more closely and see whether or not we can obtain clearer truth about the divinity."

Have you read God's Word and scrutinized it for yourself? Or have you only let others tell you what God says?

It looks like your website was turned over to Cloudflare. They benefit financially from customers getting hit with denial of service attacks, when those attacks motivate customers to pay them for service.... like protection money paid to the mafia.

I pray the Lord guides you safely in your online work.

There is an old Live CD here in my collection. I have not use TAILS in years, but I thought it was an interesting concept.

#Linux #LiveCD #Tails

So this tiny piece of Python code is responsible for Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431)? I am considering testing this on one of my own machines to see if the exploit actually works. If it does, I will post a follow-up to warn others.

#Linux #CopyFail

Wow. I just learned that my Linux computer has been logging my shell commands, going back for months. You may want to see what your history shows.

cat ~/.bash_history

This could be helpful if I need to remember some command I entered, such as the exact syntax that worked, even days ago.

#Linux #LinuxMint #privacy #security

@OfShad0ws

That's a useful command also. Thanks for sharing it.

On my machine (running Linux Mint) your command gave half the results as the original command (1,000 lines vs. 2,000 lines).

@steven_watt
Works well! Now if I can only remember these commands, I would make use of them.

For testing the Linux vulnerability (recently disclosed as "Copy Fail CVE-2026-31431"), I booted my notebook computer up with a live DVD, so the exploit I am testing should not get saved to the machine.

Will Linux Mint 21.2 succumb to the exploit?

My reply shows the result....

#Linux #LinuxMint #CopyFail #malware

Linux Mint 21.2 is vulnerable to this exploit.

A small piece of python code, executed from shell commands could give anyone, with local access to the machine, root privileges. If this code is installed on the local machine, it could open the door to other compromises, introduced by an unwelcome super user.

This is a serious problem that could affect millions, or over a billion machines.... and cause problems for the people who use them.

Time to update your kernel?

@vfrmedia
The exploit worked when I tested it on Linux Mint 21.2.

@rysiek

Linux computers, even fully patched, are vulnerable to the "Copy Fail CVE-2026-31431" exploit.

A temporary fix is shown on askubuntu.com.

@matthegap
It would be interesting to uncover who actually introduced the bug that caused this sensational exploit. It may have been years ago. But was it truly an accident or was the weakness purposefully placed in the kernel?

@Jakob_Lorber
I did not realize #Cloudflare offered anything without charge.... and I am glad you pay them nothing. Their service has frustrated me numerous times, because they blocked content they were supposed to protect.

If you are curious, I documented it:

@nazokiyoubinbou
Yes, yesterday when I updated the kernel it was at version ".110". After I installed that, the next day the kernel is at ".111" which I am downloading now.

#LinuxMint

@vfrmedia @rysiek

@matthegap
I found a confirmation for your claim.

The #CopyFail exploit has been narrowed down to a specific commit, with a name and email address provided (in the link you shared) for the man that appears responsible for adding this vulnerability to possibly millions of Linux machines. That could be a horrible burden on his shoulders, assuming it really was his doing.

I wonder if he has commented about this exploit and what he thinks about it.

#Linux

@matthegap

I think he deserves an interview.

#Linux #CopyFail

@matthew
I tried the command you shared.

modinfo algif_aead 2>/dev/null

It revealed a name, saved in my computer.

Could you imagine being the man named in millions of machines worldwide, associated with this root vulnerability?

#CopyFail #Linux

@maat
What OS did you test? I personally tested the exploit on Linux Mint 21, and it got rooted without a password.

@wdormann
It would be useful if we could easily root our own Android phones. I tried it and even installed Termux, but was not successful getting root with this Copy-Fail vulnerability, confirming your point.
