Again a very likpatous story
Went grocery shopping this morning and got extremely mad at Glenn Beck because he made it a little more personal than usual by lying like hell about Virginia. Started off by saying that teachers unions were colluding with state governments across the country to keep schools closed, then said that Dems in Virginia were trying to "rewrite history" by saying they were in favor of schools opening when actually they were trying to keep them closed. Beck said that the Dems saying they wanted schools to "open safely" was actually proof that they wanted the schools to remain closed.

Then a little bit later he said he was getting revelations from God telling him to tell his audience to keep copies of the founding documents because a time is coming where you "won't be able to find them," and to memorize the Bible because a time is coming where you "won't be able to access scripture." And that was pretty funny.

Watching radicalization in general is weird. One of my oldest friends had always been pretty unpolitical up until covid. Don't think we talked about politics once in 30 years, and then early in the pandemic I see his wife talking heavily about how the quarantine is bad etc. Okay he owns a small business that was struggling before the lock down, she's probably just mad about that, and HE'S not saying any weirdo right-wing stuff so it's probably fine.

Fast-forward to a few weeks ago when he texted me a huge rant about how unvaccinated people are being treated as second-class citizens and the vax mandate is discrimination and etc etc. It's really wild how the last few years have broken so many brains.

Someone needs to do a poorly drawn parody cartoon that labels everything in the drawing. Since that's the mark of good illustrator.

"hoax", "the vaccination", "bleach", "horse pills", "denial", "ventilator"..."hospital FULL"...stick a mask and a U.S. flag in there somewhere. Maybe combine them. Throw in a bald eagle and a gun somewhere. Maybe a bible. Bunch of founding fathers praying around the bed.

Parler itself has been openly hacked practically from the get-go. I doubt you're going to catch Matt Gaetz's openly 1488 alt account or anything. More likely you're going to see the continuing exposure of white supremacist EMTs, police, military and the like exposed individually and facing career consequences from it.

For the less tech savvy, what they got wasn't some files or the contents of a database off of Epik. What they got was a bootable image. This means if you were so inclined you could download the hacked data, run a few other programs, and then start up a perfect duplicate of Epik's entire system on your own hardware and just do absolutely anything you want to it at will. That is so, so much worse than just getting the files. You don't have the keys to the kingdom because they're worthless at that point. You have the entire kingdom itself.

The data with all the personal info, credit cards, etc. is already damaging enough. Not to trigger a computer toucher derail, but with respect to the full disk images it really depends on what was hosted on the server itself, and that really depends on how they distributed the data around their infrastructure. If they have a single primary server running every application cloned around to multiple servers then the image has a copy of the exact infrastructure Epik runs for every website they host. On the other hand, if Epik runs different applications on different servers then they would only have a piece of the overall puzzle. Even if it's an exact copy, each copy of the server will have different access patterns because in order to run a website at scale you need to have more than one of them because people expect browsing in their web browser or on their phone to be a low latency experience. This often entails running web servers in different geographical locations and load balancing them such that traffic will take the shortest path and the user will see a fast response when they click on a link.

Keep in mind I'm really speculating since I don't have a copy of the image to look at but this

https://www.dailydot.com/debug/anonymous-new-epik-leak/ posted:

In this case, we are talking about the entire server image, with all the programs and files required to host the application it is serving.
Could mean "we have a full disk image of a caching server that was publicly exposed to the internet", which means it would just be storing copies of data (i.e. stupid memes of Trump, lovely posts from thedonald.win) that were already publicly visible, which wouldn't be as valuable as another target.

If they're using industry standard tools like Apache, MySQL, PHP or any other cookie cutter applications like WordPress then there could be very interesting tidbits in there like configuration files, any secrets they didn't already get in their initial hack, and logs of exactly whom was using the infrastructure. Information like this would let hackers much more precisely target vulnerabilities within Epik's infrastructure, since they would now have information like versions of software that their sysadmins haven't patched enabling more precise attacks, know if the hosts are running a firewall and what exact ports are exposed, as well as an idea of where they should look once they've gained access to the system. With respect to the information in the logs there also could be a wealth of information in there, but it depends on how often the logs get rotated and what exactly they log. There are regulations around what you need to log (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley) but these fucks are Libertarians :lol:

The last thing off the top of my head, and the most unlikely imho because it would just be too funny, is if Epik has any custom source code and this server has a copy of it on disk. Bonus points if they have any secrets related to source control on disk, since hackers could potentially hack in to a system and commit malicious data to their source control repository which could potentially then be distributed to their entire infrastructure. What's source control you ask? Organizations of an appreciable scale these days use source control to store their exact infrastructure configuration, or it could be the source of truth for home-grown applications written in languages like Python, Java, C++ or any number of other programming languages at there.

If it's infrastructure as code, hackers now have the blueprint of how Epik's entire infrastructure is laid out.

If it's custom applications, and this could also be the exact source code that runs Parler or Gab, hackers could analyze the source code and find more vulnerabilities in it that they could use to further gain access to the system, DDoS the service, or any number of other fun things. This however is highly dependent on what language an application is written in and how defensive the software engineer(s) was when they wrote the application. It is incredibly hard to design and implement software with security in mind, and if Epik was scraping the bottom of the barrel they could be truly hosed if their critical infrastructure relied on something janky that a bunch of security researchers now have full access to see.

Really though just strap in and enjoy the show, there's a ton of data floating around out there and it takes time to sift through all of it. IT at Epik is likely going to be putting out fires for some time yet :cheers:

She’s got a scandal right now because her daughter was refused a realtor license so she called the official and her supervisor to the capitol and had a closed door meeting at which said daughter was present. Suddenly the daughter has a realtors license.

Corey on the other hand is accused of sexually assaulting someone last weekend.

Oh no, it is. But like the Open Biden approach is murderously terrible too.
It's just the question of uncontrolled spread vs active death cult. Biden is worthless and doing nothing to stop the uncontrolled spread, while the Republicans are actively on team COVID and helping it spread.

Finally some good news:

https://twitter.com/SebastianMurdoc/status/1443698848698970113?s=20

A default judgement is what is given when you don't show up to defend yourself in a case and it makes appealing the decision almost impossible since you can't point to any mistakes that happened in the first trial. In Jones's case, it sounds like the judge is so unbelievably sick of his bullshit that she took the nuclear option that most lawyers have never even seen in the wild.


quote:

"In considering whether lesser remedies would be effective, this Court has also considered Defendants’ general bad faith approach to litigation, Mr. Jones’ public threats, and Mr. Jones’ professed belief that these proceedings are ‘show trials’,” the court rulings read.

Lawyer Bill Ogden with Farrar & Ball told HuffPost that Gamble’s default judgment ruling is “a bit of a myth” in the legal world. 

“We learn about death penalty sanctions in law school as more of a theory, and it’s almost unheard of to have them handed down in a case like this,” Ogden said in an emailed statement. “However, the Sandy Hook cases are unique. It is extremely rare that a party (Alex Jones and Infowars) is ordered by the Court to comply with discovery, is sanctioned for failing to obey with the Court’s multiple Order(s), and then continues to blatantly disregard the Court’s authority by continuously refusing to comply.” 

Edited to add: unfortunately "death penalty sanctions" are just what they call these default judgements after showing up and wasting the court's time and not anything more severe
