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

FAQ: Should I panic?

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

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)

Is this an advert for Talos Linux? :) https://www.siderolabs.com/blog/how-to-ssh-into-talos-linux

>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.

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

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

I'm angry at myself for believing this for a good minute

Muhammad523 |root |parent |next |previous [-]

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

Sohcahtoa82 |root |parent [-]

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

websiteapi |root |parent [-]

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)

BrandoElFollito |root |parent |next |previous [-]

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.

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

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

WOW!

> 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

This is an obvious joke for attention.

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

ramon156 |root |parent |next [-]

I'm not afraid to admit I got fooled and just believed someone made a poorly executed website for information.

mritzmann |root |parent |next |previous [-]

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

Sohcahtoa82 |root |parent |previous [-]

Obvious joke, sure.

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