If it's a simulation of the past then that means the real you is already dead, you died WAY before we had computers powerful enough to simulate everything, right? On the flipside, if this is a simulation of the future, then there is no guarantee that you will get born in the first place! -eatscrayon [ So you're saying that this email could have been sent by a computer simulation of you from the past, or from the future?

Just thought I would let you know I noticed a couple of technical errors on your website phrack.org. Being a stickler for content I noticed a couple of web content-related mistakes on your website that I thought I would bring to your attention. It is on one of the inner pages. I have one of the digital marketers preparing a strategic plan report for you. I thought you might find it interesting and probably a core reason why your online visibility is not increasing. Can I send the plan to you or is there someone else I should send it to? Thanks, Asish Sahoo | SEO Expert Building No 430 Bhubaneswar 751006 India [ For a zine as old as Phrack, there are bound to be some technical errors. If you think you can do it better, you should send a paper for the next issue! As for our online visibility, what is wrong with our current strategy? Do we need to start doing TikTok dances? Do we need more videos of someone squishing colorful sand, family guy clips, or subway surfer gameplay footage?

This is your last chance to prevent unpleasant consequences and save your reputation. Your operating systems on every device you use to log into your emails are infected with a Trojan virus. I use a multiplatform virus with a hidden VNC. It works on any operating system: iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows. Thanks to the encryption, no system will detect this virus. Every day its signatures are cleared. I have already copied all your personal data to my own servers. Now I have access to your email, messengers, social networks, contact list. So now we've met and let's get down to business. When I was gathering information about you, I realized that you really like to visit porn sites. You really like to watch adult videos and get orgasms while watching them. I have some curious videos that were recorded from your screen. I have edited a video that clearly shows your face and the way you watch porn and masturbate. Your family and friends will have no problem recognizing you in this video. This video can completely destroy your reputation. Not only can I distribute this video to your contacts and friends, but I can make it public for every user on the web. I have a lot of your personal data. These are your browsing histories, messenger and social media correspondence, phone calls, personal photos and videos. I can share every one of your secrets. All it takes is one click of my mouse to make all the information stored on your device available to the public. You understand the consequences. It will be a real disaster. Your life would be ruined. I bet you want to prevent that, don't you? It's very simple. You need to transfer me 1300 US dollars (in bitcoin equivalent at the rate at the moment of funds transfer). After that, I will delete all information about you from my servers. Trust me, I will not bother you again. My bitcoin wallet for payment: 18rhW8tFJyyszgJr9yUes57nZjVP22BVu Don't know what Bitcoin is and how to use it? Use Google. You have 48 hours to pay. After reading this email, the timer starts automatically. I've already been notified that you opened this email. No need to respond to me on this message, this email was created automatically and is untraceable. There is no need to try to contact anyone for help. Bitcoin wallet is untraceable, so you will just waste your time. The police and other security services won't help you either. In each of these cases, I will post all the videos without delay. All of your data is already copied to a cluster of my servers, so changing your passwords on email or social media won't help. You have 48 hours! I hope you make the right decision. [ Your wallet is empty babe, better luck next time! If you want to send us a paper on your multiplatform virus, we would love to read it, but won't hold our breath. ] |=[ 0x0A ]=--------------------------------------------------------------=| From: Amethyst Basilisk Subject: Fuck Your Graph |=-----------------------------------------------------------------------=| |=------------------------=[ Fuck Your Graph ]=--------------------------=| |=-----------------------------------------------------------------------=| |=--------=[ Amethyst Basilisk ]=----------=| |=-----------------------------------------------------------------------=| While I understand that reverse engineers are enjoying their easy-mode decompilers that have manifested long after the period of Hiew, while we are lavishing in this now ubiquitous backwards-analyzing technology, we are rotting at the terminal while our assembly muscles languish. Anti- reversing in any sense is pretty much an aggressive "fuck you" to anyone attempting to lift the veil. Want to analyze my binary? Fuck you, I'm packed. Want to understand this code? Fuck you, it's obfuscated. Want to understand what I'm importing? Fuck you, functions are hashed. Naturally one of the more common and effective methods of slowing the analyst down is obfuscating your code somehow. We all want to aspire to the heights of VMProtect, sure, but that's an extremely complex machine. A good "fuck you," in this case, is something that's simple to implement and effective at the same time. Saying "fuck you" to the decompiler can be done with a deeper "fuck you": attacking the graph representation that everyone is accustomed to when outside the decompiler view. I won't bog you down with details, but long story short, disassemblers treat the call instruction wrong: they assume the function will return to the next instruction. That is not guaranteed. So we can say "fuck you" to the disassemblers by rewriting all branching instructions into a series of calls. A NASM macro file has been attached to help you, too, say "fuck you" in a simplified way. See a crackme called "goldbox" on crackmes.one to see this tactic in action. begin 644 callfuscation.asm M6]U6EN9U]J M=6UP7W1A6EN9U]J=6UP7W1A&ET"CL[("`@('1E`H[.R`@("!D96,@96%X"CL[("`@(&-F'DZ"B`@ M(&%D9"!R`H@("!M;W8@#$P72P@2`@("`@("`@("`@.R!P M97)F;W)M('1H92!C86QL"B5E;F1M86-R;PH*)6UA8W)O(&-F&ET(&%D9')E"P@ M)3(@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`[('-T;W)E('1H92!T87)G970@861D"P@ M<7=O`H@("!A9&0@#$X("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@(#L@<')E=&5N9"!W92!D;VXG="!C87)E M(&%B;W5T('1H92!D871A"B`@(&-F#$X72`@ M("`@.R!Y96%H(&%C='5A;&QY(&9U8VL@>6]U(&IU;7`@=&\@;W5R('1A
