Dein Leben spielt sich in abgedunkelten Räumen ab. Kaum berührst Du die Tastatur mit Deinen Händen, bricht bereits die tiefe Nacht herein. Du registrierst erst in den frühen Morgenstunden den schon leicht müffelnden Hoodie, der Dich seit Tagen kleidet und allmählich dämmert Dir: Könnte ich den Anschluss zur Außenwelt verloren haben? Keineswegs! Hole Dir jetzt OpenStreetMap direkt auf Dein Terminal.

Botnet Rising Star: The Evolution and In-Depth Technical Analysis of Dysphoria

Since Q1 2026, an emerging botnet named Dysphoria has amassed over 200,000 compromised hosts through rapid technical iterations spanning jackskid and fbot variants. The botnet employs sophisticated blockchain-based command and control infrastructure using ENS and SNS domains, combined with a novel architecture that converts victim hosts into relay/proxy nodes. Dysphoria propagates primarily through Telnet/SSH credential brute-forcing and exploitation of IoT vulnerabilities. Its commercial operation offers tiered DDoS attack packages claiming up to 4 Tbps capacity, targeting victims globally across multiple industries. The botnet demonstrates advanced evasion techniques including modified RC4 encryption, UPnP NAT traversal, and dynamic C2 resolution mechanisms. Daily monitoring shows peak activity of 239,000 overseas bots and 1,801 domestic bots, with 740,000 daily C2 requests, confirming sustained high-volume malicious operations.

OK. Well-written malware. I get that.

But am I the only one who’s surprised that Telnet is still running anywhere at all, and that this is what made the compromise possible in the first place? Sure. It was a honeypot. But the developers of this malware aren’t just targeting honeypots; they’re also after ‘real’ systems.

<irony>If only someone would develop something like VPNs.</irony>

🎭 Oh, joy! A love letter to MUDs—because who doesn't want to relive the riveting experience of staring at a wall of text in 2024? 🖥️✨ Forget your fancy graphics, kids; nothing says "cutting-edge entertainment" like a #telnet client! 🚀📜

@drahardja my first job where there was even a little bit of this computery nonsense was at a defence contractor. We had a bunch of machines for "office automation" stuff. #CAD, #WordPerfect, file sharing, email and stuff like that. They came from the supplier with #SCOUnix installed, and configured with #telnet up and running. The root password was, errm, the company name, and was never changed after delivery. Yes, they were on the public internet, such as it was in 1992.

Those of us on #atomic distros - how do you install bash tools like #nmap, #telnet etc that arent in the base image?

I have been building my own sysext, which, is a lot of work and needs to be manually updated from time to time, but I had someone suggest the #brew repos as an alternative.

I previously aliased #distrobox commands

I try not to layer on my ostree, as it slows down updating so badly.

Comment if you do something else

I'm exploring some ideas for the next iteration of https://jws.dev. :blobcatthink:​

I want it to be available in four languages, be a Vue app, and be available as a telnet site and a Gemini site. I'm debating whether I should use #nuxt for server-side rendering as well.
