This is the most stupid thing i read today

You must be fun at parties.

..I laughed.

FAQ: Should I panic?

A: Yes. Panicking is the recommended response to any vulnerability with a website.

This is the most brilliant thing I read today. But the day is not over yet.

I don't know who built this website. First seen here: https://a.n0id.space/objects/7cb9fcf8-54fc-4eec-8766-97f5c9f... (Available only via a Fediverse client)

It's hilarious how this has made so many people angry.

Some people really need to lighten up. Learn to have a laugh.

I haven't seen anybody angry about it, at least in this thread

There's one angry comment so far on HN:

But there's also a lot of angry responses on the Xitter post.

That was my comment and i wasn't angry when i posted it. It's like when you say "This is very stupid" after a friend of yours tells you a joke

you must be a great friend to be around if that's your response to jokes

The voice tone makes it clear that I'm not trying to be mean, unfortunates it's hard to convey such a thing in writing (that's of of the reasons emoji exist)

Happy to laugh at something that is actually funny, but this is just stupid.

I truthfully do not understand how someone can be angry. You can see it is silly in a world of stern seriousness but this is th ekind of thing that is perfectly written, perfectly targetted and perfectly executed.

I love it.

Note that ksh, csh, tcsh and fish were not mentioned so this is not that bad.

>A critical flaw present in every operating system since 1971 allows anyone who opens a terminal to obtain a fully interactive shell. Instantly. With no authentication beyond the one they already did.

Wanna bet? My default shell is nologin.

> Am I affected?

> If you own a computer, yes. If you own a phone, you are affected but have not found the terminal yet.

This got me good, LOL

> In some cases, the shell has been observed executing commands the user typed themselves.

WOW!

This is an obvious joke for attention.

If anyone falls for this, I can't save you.

It has a website, a logo, and ends in "2Shell". It must be real!

Obvious joke, sure.

"for attention" though is a weird thing to add. Not sure why you feel the need to add this negative connotation.
