Virustotal shouldn't engage in honest services fraud
by Ryan Carboni 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

It is possible to have an actionable claim against Virustotal if it was revealed that (this is something the government would obviously want): 1. It hid files with spoofed signatures from other vendors or even other users. 2. The file would be popularly defined as malicious. 3. The file would have a spoofed scan showing as fine. It seems unlikely that any dll would be the first to be uploaded given that cheaper antivirus vendors use virustotal as the scanning engine (or false positive detection engine). I think it would be minor news if the government does use malware in investigations, so obviously the government used it once against Tor and decided it wouldn't be viable for future investigations. I am certain everyone trusts the government totally, because discovery is a long held legal issue of constitutional value, and so it isn't inherently corrupt to avoid discovery.

>Well, sex and/or masturbation is always a good way to relax, Ryan. If your idea of a good joke is keeping a cup of water out of reach of a dying man or is in that category, then I suggest that you drop dead unless you can explain yourself better.

twatter troll insights for the uninitiated

For those who've actually logged on to Twitter (astounding we know, but some folks do), spare a thought for the literal $billions spent by GCHP, NSA, MI6 etc. One particular "Skripal story was total bollocks and here's the actual facts" conspiracy theorist (that's a feather in your cap these days), shares a few insights on the somewhat consistent profile of "those who would both attack as well as immediately start 'following'". Enjoy that solidly sustained superiority smirk so swimmingly stretched beyond social seasonableness...

Zerowedgie: the many “annual extortion payments” in The Great Western Lands Of The Free - [PEACE]

ZeroWedgie's foundation facts series continues... cue hysterical lefty screeching on the Internet :D Are We Really Free? Maybe It's Time For A Personal Declaration Of Independence https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-06/are-we-really-free-maybe-its-time… https://www.theorganicprepper.com/personal-declaration-of-independence/ You never own your home outright, even when the mortgage is paid off... The same thing with your car... On a regular basis, you must pay a fee and ask the government for permission to do any number of things... Permits and licenses are big revenue generators from start to finish – and if you proceed without asking permission, they will extort more money from you in the form of fines... There are places in our nation where you can’t use your property the way you want... ... The bottom line is, some places in the United States are freer than others, but we’re all still serfs paying fealty to lords. ...
