  • I don’t really have a YouTube video or blog post on hand to explain it, but I do have a degree in cybersecurity. Putting a malicious executable in a video is not a simple task. The most likely way for this to occur would require a vulnerability in the video player you are using that allows for code execution. If your system is up to date, it’s unlikely the video player you’re using is going to have a known vulnerability that allows this. If someone does have knowledge of a vulnerability like this that is not publicly known, it’s very unlikely random 1337x users will be their target.

    Something I will recommend is if you are using Windows, make sure you do not have file extensions hidden in File Explorer, because then someone could trick you by simply naming an executable with .exe at the end. These types of tricks are more important for the average user to be cautious about than attacks utilizing steganography.












  • Things on the Linux GUI land are so messed up that we even got this.

    I don’t understand what you mean by this. This project is using a library provided by a major DE, if anything this shows the opposite of your point.

    There aren’t distribution “sponsored” IDEs (like Visual Studio or Xcode)

    Both GNOME and KDE have a text editor that supports LSP’s and plugins, similar to VS Code. I also don’t know anybody who still uses Visual Studio or Xcode, outside a specific situations where they’re needed, which isn’t a positive in my book.

    userland API documentation

    Linux has XDG Desktop Portals, protocols that all DEs and compositors can implement and can be used by any app.
