>>23062379 (OP)
I farted.

nothing ever happens

>>>/v/717420095
>>>/v/717421327
Embedded CP left up for 1 hour.

>>23062379 (OP)
/fa/ board got totally overrun with troons, alienated & chased everyone away and now it's like two schizos feuding (check the catalog) & it's literally a fucking dead board

>>23062470
>check /fa/ on 4stats
>most active thread is a meta rant about a supposed janitor with dozens of personalities that encourages people to kill themselves
ok

Ready for another amazing thread!

>>23062468
Reported the images to b4k; saw this comment.
>>/v/717422976
Do I even want to know who "Sarah Miller" is?

>>23062723
>forgot 3rd arrow
I need to sleep.

>>23062379 (OP)
why copy the image from the last OP?

>>23062723
Haven't checked your link, but that's the name of the girl from the start of The Last of Us.

>>23062778
because this thread was made by a proxyfag who probably embedded something in the OP

>>23062379 (OP)

rwanda flag
i ain't never seen that, and i've seen guam once

I'm never asking for happenings again after the last happening...

>>23063179
Seems likely, yeah.
Being butthurt seems exhausting when you have to go out of your way this much.

>>23062527

>>23062470
this faggot also still uses /fa/

Happening: you can literally make /pol/ Trump bots self destruct now if you ask them about the Epstein files repeatedly and refuse to let them cope or change the subject

>>23062723
>Do I even want to know who "Sarah Miller" is?
It's a kid from the first The Last of Us that appears for 10 minutes but has a truckload of porn because she was the first non-ugly realistic loli (for comparison, before Sarah became available, most loli and 3DCG porn in general was like seeing Sims 2 characters with uncanny faces and bloated poly counts).

>>23063235
Ydk what ur talking about ur gettin trolled no one believes trump is innocent

>>23063235
no link = not a happening

>>23063235
i think that's just them ignoring you and going to other threads when you focus hard enough on shitting them up

it do be a thing you can do, though
easy to kill threads that way

>>23063373

>>23063379
:O

Y'all remember the Fort Hood shooter? We're getting a rerun, apparently.

>>23063179
This is likely true. Lolipiss JPG embeds leave a stray pixel in the upper right corner.

>>23063179
>>23063992
it's 8 hours old I think they would have fucking deleted it by now if that was true

>>23063999
you overestimate how much they care

>>23063992
>sees the weird-looking blue corner
it's true, I guess.

>>23064080
wtf
it's upper left in OPs image, but yeah

>>23064095
AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE

>>23063896
>This faggot website full of fake nigger shills and bots doesn't even have a thread up. So pathetic what they have let happen to /pol/
That's something I noticed too. There was a mass shooting and there were barely any threads about it on /pol/. Actually insane

so does the embedded malicious shit only activate if you save the image, or what?
does it affect 4chan servers or people like us who save the image?

what do you mean by malicious imbeds
like stegnographed cp?

>>23064158
i guess so
when i said "malicious" i meant malicious code, but these two:

"embed data in the lower bits of image data"

>>23064080
>>23064095
Oops. I messed up. It is the top left.

>>23064125
You're only affected by it if you run their extension or download it and repost it. Luckily, most embedfags always use really low quality images that you wouldn't save anyway.

>>23064158
Yes.

>>23064171
>>23064170
>>23064169
you dont have to worry about embedded cp unless you download it as that makes you liable to having cp on your pc or have an embed viewer.
You can embed viruses onto images though. Though, many people dont know how to do that. Kind of a lost art.

>>23064170
i havent been reading the thread
most of the time i just come in here to hangout

>>23064182
That's not quite right either. What it really does is embed a catbox file name into the image. That's not really dangerous. You're not saving CP but you're saving a partial catbox link to it by downloading it.

>>23062379 (OP)
>>23064132
Compared the two using stegonline and OP's pic has a bunch of barely visible pixels around text and images.

>>23064170
>>23064171
>>23064182
tyvm...
>Though, many people dont know how to do that. Kind of a lost art.
interesting

>>23064189
im thinking in terms of actually saving the embed physically on your pc

By the way, PEE has its own proprietary file format. I find it odd that the catbox admin didn't just instantly IP ban anyone who uploads a .pee file.

>>23064182
>You can embed viruses onto images though. Though, many people dont know how to do that. Kind of a lost art.
did that with a link to a file uploading url some guy posted on /b/ a few years ago that he said was owned by the company he works for, still havent figured out what the files i got from that company actually do

>>23064195
if the embed is only a link to an actual CSAM, it's still not illegal
you'd have to save the CSAM the link leads to for it to be illegal, from what i understand about the world

>>23064206
yes that sounds correct.
if i am correct they'd have to see how many people visited the link and launch an investigation.
It's no easy process. unless they're trying to make an example which they'll just send you to get raped by tyrone in prison

>>23064182
>You can embed viruses onto images though
It only works if your machine is already infected, no?

>>23064226
no, you're thinking if a different type of computer infection

what im talking about.
Clicking the imaged activates the infection

>>23064206
Seems like a gray area at best if you had good enough lawyers and no additional charges. If you had it along with CP/child molestation charges then you'd better believe that they're throwing the book at you.

>>23064240
How? By abusing some kind of obscure exploit?

>>23064250
no, similar technique to stegnography. Embedded code would activate when the image is opened
i remember learning about it a long time ago. Havent seen it since

>>23064256
Because it's been patched on most OSs since the win xp era.

>>23064262
normie?

>>23064250
It's not impossible to have a security flaw in your image viewer that lets malformed images execute arbitrary code. Windows had a pretty infamous one in the mid 2000s.

>>23064256
>>23064262
>>23064265
I wonder if this was possible to do a few years ago when you could embed actual data into images and 4chan couldn't remove it.

>>23064265
Nobody is going to blow a high value image exploit on randos on 4chan anymore. That type of exploit is reserved for specific targets with monetary or political incentives nowadays.
Sure it was common in the past, and on anything that doesn't receive updates anymore, but in modern software they're rare enough now that it usually makes the news any time one is discovered.

>>23064202
>I find it odd that the catbox admin didn't just instantly IP ban anyone who uploads a .pee file.
email him about it lel

>>23064262
oh

>>23064125
>>23064158
There are 3 different embedding scripts working at the moment.
- One that hides catbox links inside files (like OP's image). The links can contain text, images, audio or videos, and are obfuscated so neither mods or users trying to report the links can see them. This is a patched version of the original PEE script, retaining its original functions (like highlighting posts with files hidden using this method).
- One that hides links in filenames, like the posts reported by >>23062468. These long filenames are encoded links that are read by the script and displayed next to the original post. The files usually are clean, although it's possible to combine this method with the other ones to embedd additional files. This method was developed by the proxyfag crowds.
- The most recent method hides files inside PNG files, and works with both PNG and JPG files as the "host". While this method doesn't depend on catbox or any similar service, it's limited by 4chan's file limit, and the combined file must weight less than 4mb in order to work. Converting the files also breaks them. Th8s method was also developed by proxyfags.

>>23064848
This is mostly correct but I'll add that the last method is yet another script they took from someone else. It also has a huge binary blob in the middle so you don't know what it's actually doing :^)

The first two methods also don't work with TOR so yes, its users upload CP to catbox on bare IPs.

Forgot to add, these are the scripts available on leto's site. Supposedly, the barafag has another script that lets users embedd multiple files, but since I'm not desperate enough to show him my dick for access I don't know how it works.

>>23064867
>The first two methods also don't work with TOR so yes, its users upload CP to catbox on bare IPs.
There's an unofficial catbox portal that lets torfags and people with JS disabled upload files to catbox and view them. I don't know if the scripts are compatible with that portal, however.

>>23064885
I thought the original ecker only used it to spam gay porn. There are no embedding tools on the preview site from what I can tell and he seems to ban people who actually do illegal things with it.

There is a catbox portal, but I thought it was only for downloads? The admin went out of his way to block access to exit nodes AND the scripts all use the api at catbox.moe by default.

>>23064848
Can you spot the third method by opening the image as text file? Or is it obfuscated?

>>23064915
I haven't figured it out yet but it's true that it eats the file size up. Basically look for any super low quality PNG. Tends to be off-topic too.

Also, there are leaks from the proxy site and they keep trying to get them deleted. From the looks of it, we have one of their proxy providers. Couldn't staff just reach out to them and tell them to block 4chan?

>>23064930
share those leaks

>>23064930
stay mad, shitskin

>>23064981
You should give up while you're still free, Leto.

>>23064182
It's not like you could tell anyway unless you know what to look for, you could already have images containing cp on your computer and you'd never know on first glance

>>23062646
Fixed it for you.

>>23065053
Except we were just talking about two ways to recognize most of them.

there's nothing embedded doe

>>23065064
well PEE doesn't work anymore and the "secret" method just uploads a text file that it links to, but the steganography method is completely undetectable to the average person who doesn't know what to look for, you could already have cp on your computer and you would never know

>>23065074
It does still work (barely) and anyone who denies it is just trying to cover it up.

When's the last time there was a happening?

>>23065083
testing to see if it still gives an error or not

>>23065094
There are many happenings, there is always a state of happening, just as there is always a fish swimming in the sea; however it is up to you decide whether or not the happening you observe meets your personal criteria; of which, the happening to non happening ratio is solely based in this unknown factor that is subjective purely to you.

>>23065083
>>23065104
guess it does work

>>23065058
Cute!

>>23065094
I feel like there's a happening on the horizon that not a lot of people are going to like

>>23065197
i think that has more to do with being an amerimutt

>>23065307
I like how the USA lives in your head rent free.

>>23064193
Those are probably just JPEG artifacts. That was my screenshot that those nasty fuckers used, and I always take PNG screenshots, which don't have artifacts like that.

When will Roblox mascot horror slop die off from this site?

>>23067507
It's the first wave of Gen A posting. It'll die when Gen A's interest shift to something even more foreign and confusing to Millennials and Zoomers.

happening: /v/ is still garbage because of coomer fags shitting up the 'log

>>23067533
It's all astroturfed. A couple months ago, Twitter immigrants (many of whom were underage or pedophiles) made a Dandy's World "general" on /trash/ that lasted for a few threads before being absorbed into a Discord server. Before that, the game was unanimously ridiculed on /v/.

>>23067561
Would making a red /v/ fix this problem or would it be like /trash/ and only make it worse by giving them a home here?

>>23067630
Definitely the latter. A red /v/ would be pointless.
It would quickly turn into /trash/ 2.0 but slower and it wouldn't stop the spam at all.

>>23067578
they also tried and failed to colonize /vm/

>>23067834
How the fuck do you "colonize" anything on 4chan?

>>23067838
the best example of it is /pol/'s spam

>>23067578
There is no unanimous opinion on 4chan, only loud ones. Whoever hates Roblox indie horror games are currently in the process of being replaced by people that like it.

>>23068157
I also saw this happen live with Fortnite. Every thread was full of people shitting on the game until one day the Chun Li skin released

Is anyone else suddenly getting "corrupted file or unsupported file type" while posting mp4s through 4chan XT?
