4chan now has a bitcoin miner built insite People is struggling to fight it, I already tried some fixes and I'm not sure if they work plus I also have to get rid of the ones that are on my machine but I don't have malwarebytes and don't know what else to do This is a very dark hour

can you prove this? unsubstantiated claims bring me much anguish.

>>6581 https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/63905210 This is the only active thread i can find Other threads about the matter i was watching were delated Its getting scary

>>6581 >>6583 https://boards.4chan.org/trash/thread/13081901 This thread is working too

>>6578 >>6583 >>6586 I don't know if it has been removed or if my setup just blocks it from executing (there are also some in the threads that say there never was a bitcoin miner, just an anti adblocker) but I actually wouldn't mind mining for websites. Just remove all ads and mine in a way that doesn't eat CPU/battery and we're good.

>>6578 I remember visiting 4cucck like 3 years ago It was little sane back then but after election it went full madman

It's not a miner. I don't care enough to change my IP to evade whatever reason this one is derezzed on 4chan so I'll reply here. I stepped as far through it as I could this afternoon when someone noticed AdBlockers were breaking the 4chan CSS. I really doubt it was a security breach, so I guess g00km00t fulfilled his prophecy. Some of it seemed to be implemented poorly or incomplete. I don't feel like going through all of it again so I'll just dump some things from my clipboard of interest. There were no successful (coin)miners or ransomware implementations. Those are trolls. However, it seems g00km00t is datamining some things to be indexed for an advanced ad-distribution service (adglare,etc.) as well as likely selling data to this highest bidders at admixer. And a soykafty anti-adblock. Not going to include the stuff about argon.js as I didn't actually see anything about it when letting this ad stuff execute. It is very suspicious that it is reported from the same domain as one of the ones on 4chan, and "Argon" is referenced in the obfuscated js. But, yeah, there's old reports about it from previous things here: https://www.reverse.it/sample/b9a80ddbaf41d303b0ed9abb0f6aabf5f851dd39909aaead3cb3257474fd7dc4?environmentId=100 interesting bits from de-obfuscated js still in my clipboard: ch(c("url", "http://inv-nets.admixer.net/adxcm.aspx?ssp=2FC0EFF4-EF6E-47E2-B9F8-55E920E33B29&id=" + f, "ret_cookie", true, "callback", d)) function r() { bf("ARGON: Adblock Detect"); h["session"]["ab_detect"] = true; cw["push"](cx["TYPE_ADBLOCK_DETECT"]); if (h["session"]["arg_start"]) { m["antistyle"](); l() } } cw["push"](cx["TYPE_SESS_INIT"]); h["session"]["arg_load"] = true; cw["push"](cx["TYPE_ARG_LOAD"]); bf("ARGON: Load " + cC["performance"]["now"]()); if (bW["retest"]) { cI(bW["retest"][0], "gGF4f281hf=", d, f) }; if (ba["documentElement"]["createShadowRoot"] && !bG()) { h["session"]["arg_start"] = true; cw["push"](cx["TYPE_ARG_START"]); if (!b) { b = "ssp_confirm_view" }; bf("ARGON: Start") }; c["replace"](new cC["RegExp"]("function fuarrrk_adblock", "g"), "function fuarrrk_adblock(){};function fuarrrk_adblock_"); var l = ["source", "scheme", "authority", "userInfo", "user", "pass", "host", "port", "relative", "path", "directory", "file", "query", "fragment"]; l = c("site", c("id", r["id"], "domain", ba["location"]["hostname"], "cat", r["cat"]), "user", c("id", s), "prov_hits", {}, "client_nurl", true, "session", h["session"]["session_id"], "zones", {}) var f = c("marketgid", c("domains", ["marketgid.com", "tovarro.com", "dt00.net", "lentainform.com", "mgid.com", "steepto.com", "traffic-media.co", "traffic-media.co.uk", "adskeeper.co.uk", "novostionline.net"], "options", c("load_click", true)), "trafmag", c("domains", ["trafmag.com"], "options", c("load_click", true, "lock_after_click", true)), "admixer", c("domains", ["admixer.net", "privatbank.ua", "rt-rrr.ru", "gemius.pl", "tns-ua.com", "bemobile.ua"]), "recreativ", c("domains", ["recreativ.ru"], "options", c("load_click", true, "lock_after_click", true)), "yottos", c("domains", ["yottos.com"]), "mixadvert", c("domains", ["mixadvert.com", "redtram.com"], "options", c("load_click", true, "lock_after_click", true)), "mediainform", c("domains", ["mediainform.net", "teaser.ws"]), "adpartner", c("domains", ["adpartner.pro"]), "adriver", c("domains", ["adriver.ru", "createjs.com"]), "traffim", c("domains", ["traffim.com"]), "mixmarket", c("domains", ["mixmarket.biz"]), "gnezdo", c("domains", ["gnezdo.ru", "2xclick.ru"], "options", c("load_click", true)), "adwise", c("domains", ["franecki.net", "worldssl.net", "acdnpro.com"]), "begun", c("domains", ["begun.ru", "price.ru", "rambler.ru"]), "azbne", c("domains", ["azbne.net"]), "etcodes", c("domains", ["etcodes.com", "et-code.ru", "xxx-hunt-er.xyz"]));

But anyway it looks like Hiro's typical tricks.

And what we know about Appleman?

>>6598 Poor Hiro is fuarrrked. If he knew anything about his "own" site, he'd realize that implementing the anti-adlblocker was essentially a death sentence for the site.

>>6603 You underestimate the number of normal users modern 4chan has. Especially the number of people that use an unmodified phone to browser.

>>6598 >>6599 But my computer crashed yesterday afternoon and I suspect it was because of the miner. for me that is evidence there is one. >>6604 We need to make an outrage out of this Get 4chan tagged as a dangerous site and make people run away from it

>>6608 >Get 4chan tagged as a dangerous site Or make invite only boards

Guess I won't be using 4chan anymore, it seems to require the google captcha now. fuarrrk that noise.

My FurryFox ESR 52 has noscript My Ganoo Lignuxxxs Icecat has noscript My Qutebrowser instance has ecmascript disabled How füçked am I if I use reddit and memey and 4gag without scripts during this miner-hijack era.

>>6578 I just joked about it in the infinity, but they reached a new low with this. They should just beg for money and lie about hosting costs rather than this.

>>6598 >>6599 I'm awake again. So did anyone else actually look into it/anything happen? Did any 4ch staff even bother giving any answers? lol. My only interest was seeing what they said about it. I still think it was just an attempt at soykafty anti-adblock and typical Hirosoykaf ad fuarrrkery. >>6608 Nah, man. You good, but go ahead and do that anyway. It still definitely deserves outrage. >>6611 You're fine. There was no miner-hijack that I saw ... unless everyone got infected with something while I was sleeping and I haven't read it yet, but I really doubt that. I'm not even sure how people brought the old Nemucod/Locky outbreak into this, but even that required running a script from an archive via e-mail, IIRC. I really doubt someone would have waited that long to modify 4chan further after everyone already noticed and push a malicious payload that requires burning high-value 0days to even be effective. I didn't see anything like that. Seems like fear of the unknown to me. It's retarded if @hiroyuki_ni still hasn't made/authorized a statement about it yet.

There is no reason to use 4chan anymore, and hasn't been for years. I just use 8ch for a general purpose imageboard.

In related news, I can now no longer post from clover on 4chan at all (except for on /qa/ for some reason). It really looks like Hiro wants to drive off/shut down all alternative methods of posting without viewing ads.

Guys i am scared, what do i do?

>>6612 If it's still up can you post a link to the 8ch thread where they're discussing this, lain?

>>6615 How bad is fullchan compared to half in terms of brewing soykaf?

>>6620 Empty cup

>>6614 I've heard that it was just panic and that the ransomware argon.js was an unrelated thing. Dunno if the miner has properly been unconfirmed. I also heard that just updating ublock or 4chanx is enough to be safe but what do I know, it just doesn't feel safe because they will update that at any time. I really want to return because 4chan is my home online and being away from it feels so barren, specially hard for me because /co/ is my homeboard and there is literally no other place to talk about comics that is chill or cartoons in general, I could go to plus4chan but it is about to close down. I want there to be a larger outrage but I don't know how to start one or what to get from it >>6620 Awful, people there is permanently outraged, they don't actually care about the board's theme and are just there to be mad at people with different opinions

>>6614 Thanks bruther, hopefully one day websites like 4gag will benefit from non-jewish management and use regular non-instrusive advertisement.

>>6628 who is Mick

>>6617 Up Butt Coconut

>>6624 >Awful, people there is permanently outraged, they don't actually care about the board's theme and are just there to be mad at people with different opinions Sounds like 4chin to me

>>6625 Advertisers aren’t willing to pay for such a soykafty userbase, and no major brand would taint its name by advertising there. Same problem torrent sites face.

>>6617 Nothing desu we do nothing

>>6634 Why don't they ask for money directly. I mean show us your server cost and we(users) will fund it And if this is not feasible then we can always try different

>>6637 >muh e-begging Worse than just stealing part of your unused CPU workload for cryptomining, to be honest IMHO

>>6638 Asking money at the end of the year like fsf does to fund their project sounds good to me than "notice us senpai" ad all the time.

>>6630 No idea I found it on /g/ >>6633 Well, at least 4chan can enjoy something once in a while 8chan is permanently butthurt about sjw >>6637 >>6640 People like >>6638 are too prideful to beg or ask humbly for help, that is why they go for bitcoins since its a get rich quickly scheme.

>>6638 >I'm not raping you. I'm just making use of your unused genitals. Sounds like a wet AnCap fantasy to me.

>>6643 It is not begging if user usage that service. Just because you're using it for free doesn't really mean it is free.

>>6628 I don't know why people are posting this all over the place. First of all, never take guidance from Discord users (sorry). More importantly, what the message is saying is largely based around the reverse.it link which is mostly irrelevant; the scary sounding stuff is caused by wscript itself -- which is being used by default in the process of analysis to execute the .js on the machine.

The only thing you should really have to do is install uBlock and update your uAssets filters at this point. I have tested on all browsers with 4chanX installed and it works fine. I think people are doing that, but also installing userscripts, etc. that are causing conflict.

>>6609 Oh boy, then the alt reich can have even more whites only safe spaces, just what we need

>>6647 Why not just leave 4chan as it is?

>>6609 >invite only boards /vip/ is something like that, but you have to pay for it and the post quality isn't any better

>>6620 fullchan suffers from being the refugee camp of people talking about GG and similar topics and getting derezzed. It feels like most boards are obsessed with the left and their "ironic" but not really racist memes. And I think the general intelligence is kinda low. I remember watching a glorious meltdown on 8/tech/ where some troll made some tl;dr claiming to be a Debian developer and that she was from reddit or tumblr and something about working as a team, this troll pushed every single button "We need more female programmers" and similar lines where made and the thread burnt to the ground as anons took the troll seriously.

>>6647 What made you install plug in to keep you going back there anyway? I mean really whats the thing that drives you going back at all cost to such a butthurt place

>>6651 No fun allowed

>>6644 >false equivalence >if I beg for pussy maybe she will give it to me Comie cúck detected

>>6655 Care to expand on that? Because I did have fun watching that trainwreck.

>>6644 More like "you only need a room for now, we'll have rest of the house"

>>6578 >>6614 >>6646 Someone is trying to discover what the script is doing here: https://gitlab.com/N3X15/argon-dissection. ublock origin blocks the new scripts now (i think you need 4chan X to make css work) , but i wouldn't trust hiro. he will just pretend that nothing has ever happened. the script at least has (at lest) two functions: 1) Anti-adblock (it breaks the css) 2) some anon said, that it also grabs info about your machine (including GUID). and apparently, it also contains some encrypted js from one of the hosts hiro added. Are they testing the waters or something?? this is 2ch all over again. >>6618 not >>6612 but here you go: https://8ch.net/tech/res/839692.html

>>6644 >wet AnCap fantasy >he wouldn't share his unused resources to his comrades to the gulag with you, hypocritical comrade

>>6663 This, but unironically. Stealing something from another person because you need it is *literally* (Anarcho)communism.

What happened to "my property, my rules?" Leave, if you don't like it. Btw soykaf like this has been done for years, see folding@home and LHC@home.

>>6662 Seems like he is about to get around to the part I was at. Have a payload: https://qbin.io/ey07kl46

looks like hiro killed archives too: https://desuarchive.org/desu/thread/2700/#2700

>>6673 Might not be intentional https://desuarchive.org/desu/thread/2700/#2740

So almost all discussion about this on both /g/ and /qa/ seems to have been shut down, only one thread up on /g/ as we speak. It's like it never happened despite initial threads all reaching bump limit quicly, yet those shady domains still try to connect on my setup sometimes, yesterday it didn't happen at all but today it did again. So I think the gook hasn't changed anything. Suddenly banning archivers makes sense, pure coincidence some would think. Can anyone help a tech iliterate recapitulate what happened? >4chan itself serves a (possibly malicious) anti adblock script that tries to connect to certain 3 domains, breaking the sites css if it can't reach them >of those domains it tries to connect 2 seem to be a bit old, one was registered this month >somewhere in the script is a reference (dunno if the 4chan one or the stuff the 3 domains serve, can someone clarify? been reading about this all day but there's some disinfo) to argon.js which according to that reverse.it analysis is a known trojan/malware BUT argon.js being downloaded to the users computer hasn't been confirmed yet (please correct me if im wrong). This has many anons thinking the worst. >one cool anon is dissecting what the 'argon stats' does on gitlab >uBlock at least pushed in its filter list a fix, the one that goes 4chan.org##somethingsomething.inject(something) >according to >>6628 the 4chan script datamines the user (im still confused whether he means the argon.js thing or the script 4chan tries to execute) >not a word from the gook The smart move here is to disable all 4chan scripts and let 4chanX handle it instead amirite? letting google stuff due to obvious captcha. Pls no bully, im not the smartest tech guy so forgive any mistakes I made.

Is it meant to be added, or is it a malicious ad that's injecting it?

>>6684 There's javascript on 4chan that poorly attempts to subvert ad-blockers while killing stylesheets and images if another part is unsuccessful at being displayed. It also communicates with those domains to load other obfuscated js payloads sent that (so far) only seem to basically be related to really sketchy ad servers that collect some data for their targeted ads. >>6646 The argon.js reverse.it link is FUD because the scary sounding stuff is actually just from wscript.exe as that is what the analysis system attempts to open it with by default. The gitlab guy is getting around to exposing some of what was posted here days ago, but is doing a really nice job of documenting everything. The payload he is working on now seems to be the stuff that was posted earlier and similar to >>6667 uBlock/equivalent can be used, but sometimes Chrome browsers may execute the js before it's actually blocked. If you want to be extra paranoid you can manually block connecting to those domains with hosts file, etc. 4chanX and uBlock were both updated to deal with this already I think. If your stylesheets are still broken 4chanX will probably fix. Also if you're paranoid you can set up your js/ad-blocker to a whitelist mode. There are 0 actual cases of malware confirmed.

Hiroshima's silence means he's getting good money to keep his mouth shut...

>>6628 Who is Mick? Also >dischord

>>6686 >The argon.js reverse.it link is FUD because the scary sounding stuff is actually just from wscript.exe as that is what the analysis system attempts to open it with by default.

The payload he is working on now seems to be the stuff that was posted earlier and similar to >>6667 Thank you anon, you cleared my doubts. >sometimes Chrome browsers may execute the js before it's actually blocked Ah that explains the weird behaviour earlier then, was freaking out over this a bit. Guess im going to block them on the hosts file then as my FF install is quite old so it's riskier to use it for now and other than installing another channel Chrome is my only choice for now. >There are 0 actual cases of malware confirmed. Lets hope there are none in the future, not a lot of people over there seem to care though, but I hope they don't get cryptoransomed.

>>6637 They do. 4chan has accepted donations since Hiro took over, and for the past few years, there's been 4chan passes as a way to support the site.

>>6578 It was the final push to finally get me to leave that place for good. I'll probably thank myself later for deciding to do so. Place has been going down hill for years.

>>6650 That's because it's only one board. It's basically just a pay2use /b/. If we had most boards be invite only I think it would help keep the "communities" separated (mostly speaking about pol/r9k here)

>>6589 >just perform extremely computationally intensive task in a terrible, inefficient language in a way that doesn't eat CPU/battery (Or is it a joke "just don't do it", like "you can do it when pigs fly"=="you can CPU-mine bitcoin when it doesn't use lots of power" and it just went over my head?)

>>6725 Yeah I think he meant it mostly as a joke, but if there were a non-intrusive way for sites to make money off their users, he would be ok with it? That's how I read it at least

I can't find any recent threads on /g/ about this. It seems the mods are doing it for free again.

>>6745 Friends as hard as it is to say this is the end of 4chan.

*blocks your css*

>>6745 uBlock blocks it now Everything has already been discussed. Nobody is making new threads. https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/g/search/deleted/deleted/type/op/

>>6748 Purge this guy with fire!

>>6637 Hiroyuki added a donation page some time ago, but on transparency he said: >4chan gets tremendous low price for infrastructures. >If we show the price, their other clients get mad. >Then our price would become as high as other clients. >I don't think it's a good way. https://desuarchive.org/qa/search/capcode/admin/text/%22tremendous%20low%20price%22

>>6755 He says the same exact thing in multiple posts, as if he's a bot or something. Very strange.

>>6749 Yes but what about next time. What if one of his soykafty adservers are hacked. Dudes using some scetchy soykaf with many .RU domains. His anti adblock pushes that soykaf right though.

>>6757 If a website that you once trusted becomes untrustworthy, it's a problem. The inline scripts were only allowed to run in the first place because users trusted 4chan.org. But you can only pull that trick once. Once users distrust the website and stop allowing it to run scripts on their machine, it can't do anything. Those .ru domain adservers are not trusted to begin with, and any reasonable security-conscious user is already blocking them as part of a blanket block on third-party content.

>>6759 I don't understand how users can be so pathetic? I mean how hard is it to understand that once the site has started implementing shady stuff it cannot be trusted again.

>>6759 It wont take much for hiro to undo the blocks that ublock put in. Its a cat and mouse game now. I really feel bad for the politcs board as its only a matter of time before he de-annonmizes them and sells the data. To sjws or feds or otherwise. Hes done this before.

>>6763 The sad thing is most of the site is too dumb to care. And the mods keep removing any threads on it.

>>6764 >the mods keep removing any threads on it Only on boards that are not /g/ or /qa/ as far as I can tell. It does somewhat make sense. It's off-topic on other boards.

>>6768 I cant find soykaf on /g/ im betting its being removed there too.

>>6769 I saw a thread about it earlier today but it got deleted after several hours

>>6648 (((alt right)))

>>6748 *attempts to feed you to my pigs like wheelie dud and josh*

This really is the end isn't it? Why is Hiro doing this now and not earlier? I don't buy the no money argument

>>6803 >*attempts to feed you to my pigs like wheelie dud and josh* What?

Is this it? is it finally the time we leave 4chan for good?

>>6870 I moved to tumblr two nights ago and it has been fun enough

>>6820 Jim(the current owner of 8chan) has a pig farm, and pigs will eat carrion. He's kind of a shady person so people joke about him killing people and feeding them to his pigs. Hotwheels has been missing since he took over 8chan, but that's probably because he's going to die from his fuarrrked up bone disease and doesn't want to spend his last years with a bunch of nazi spergs.

I'm feeling concerned, I want to save the other anons from 4chan, sadly seems like most of the user base doesn't care, outside of /g/ and /qa/ discussion about this is nonexistent and even less on other sites like if some terrible disaster had happen and yet nobody notices. out of all the friends I've made on 4chan there is one I still have to talk with and see how's he doing >>6892 How horrifying

There is nothing worth saving

>>6813 Hiroyuki has been adding increasingly sketchy ads since the moment he bought 4chan.

>>6909 My friends are worth saving

Bump Any updates? I heard some guys on 4/g/ were working on a dedicated desktop 4chan browser I went to take a peak and I saw a white loading screen

>>7029 would you trust that though?

>>6925 you don't get to bring friends

>>7053 The code is open but what do I know.

>friend sent me a message claiming he found 4chan user metadata for sale >isn't sending me any links Is this bullsoykaf? I'm 90% sure it is but does anyone know if metadata even goes up for sale openly?

>>7053 >>7071 BTW this is the client https://github.com/siavash119/qtchan >>7075 Let me guess he found it for sale on the "deep web"

>>7075 What kind of "metadata" do you think 4chan has? The whole site is public. There are no members only pages or private messages or anything like that. Why would anyone pay for data they can just get from wget or a google search?

>>7105 IP addresses for each post, 4chan pass data for those posts, and email and payment information from pass users. Advertisers love any type of information, and I think 4chan post history and board preferences would lend well to targeted advertisement. LE and skiddies would also be interested

>>7105 >>7108 Also whatever else your browser or environment is willing to tell. For example, which device are you using - leading to purchase power info etc. Your browsers tend to leak a lot, desired or not. On the other hand this is the Net. This happens all of the time and nobody seems to freak out much, so why the fuzz? We are all screwed anyway. Business as usual.

>>7108 >4chan pass data Apparently this is a real thing. >https://www.4chan.org/pass People actually give their credit card numbers to 4chan. Golly the internet has changed since I was a kid. >Advertisers love any type of information, and I think 4chan post history and board preferences would lend well to targeted advertisement.
