Best places to find information on obscure parts of Windows internals:
- UnknownCheats, random guy with anime profile picture reversed it, only got 2 upvotes
- Random old blog from the mid-2000's, author stopped posting 15 years ago.
- Chinese developer forums
Probably one of the largest updates we've done in a long time.
Why the hell do we do this for free 😭

Large update coming. Due to the size of additions, if you have notifications enabled you will likely receive multiple notifications.
Prepare yourself.

7. Cop waving little American flag? (yay! cybercrime!)
🚨BREAKING 🚨
The CEO of RecordedFuture confirms to us that they cannot wipe $400,000 of debt off our Mastercard credit card. Also, Triage will remain free.
Unironically, 90% of core viewing demographic would (in some shape or form) prefer it to be malware just so they could rip it apart and throw tomatoes at us.
Читать полностью…We're experimenting with a vx-underground Windows Desktop e-reader. It's a simple .NET application that connects to vx-underground, lists papers, and allows you to view them without having to visit the website.
Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems kinda cool. Also, slightly easier to explore
The United Kingdom's National Crime Agency released a statement today.
On September 5th, the individual believed to be responsible for compromising TfL (Transport for London) has been apprehended.

how to write cool malware
1. come up with idea
2. write basic shit code, hurts eyes
3. refine it, make less ugly
4. slowly increase complexity
5. refine it, make it beautiful
6. release it, pretend to understand it
Hello,
We've finished correcting the colossal oopsie we created. We're in the process of correcting the MalwareIngestion bulk releases.
Files are being synced on VirusTotal again.
tl;dr back to getting millions of malwares
This is actually a good point. Most people playing video games are probably casual, don't want to buy a computer, and just want to relax in the living room, or wherever, and play on a controller.
Also, older consoles are cool and badass. Sega Dreamcast Podracing was badass

Large update. Read the papers, download the malware, reverse the malware, whatever. Even writing about all the additions is a lot of work.
Note: Assume all builder binaries are malicious, explore them with caution. APT paper titles truncated or modified in this post.
Administrative updates:
- VXDB is still syncing with VirusTotal. All corrupt files have been repaired. We are currently refining our malware ingestion process.
- MalwareIngestion collection has been purged due to fears of binaries being corrupted. MalwareIngestion will be repaired and redeployed at a later time.
- New vx-underground merch scheduled to be added to merch store. This will be done at a later time.
- New vx-underground harddrives will be available for sale later.

Thank you to the people who continue to send us strange things
Our collection includes stickers, shirts, pants, smashed network equipment, pins, autographs from FBI's most wanted, artwork, and pet pictures.
We appreciate the pet photos. We love animals.
We decided to test OpenAI's image creation functionality by requesting it produce a meme about malware authors
The image it created is funny — although not in the classical sense. It's such a catastrophic failure it has become funny
The longer you look at it, the funnier it is
It'll be open source, you can build it yourself, or you can reverse engineer it, whatever. It's not malware.
Читать полностью…Today a Threat Actor operating under the moniker 'Fortibitch' released 440GB of exfiltrated Fortinet data. The Threat Actor claims the leaked data is a result of a failed extortion attempt. 'Fortibitch' wrote Fortinet allegedly wrote to them they'd rather 'eat poop than pay a ransom'.
Fortinet later confirmed the validity of the compromise to BleepinComputer — writing that customer data was stolen from a "third-party cloud-based shared file drive."
Additionally, 'Fortibitch' gave me a shoutout, referencing a previous vx-underground post debating the correct pronunciation of VXUG, by writing "smelly from Vi-Eks-Yu-Gee".
Subsequently, they addressed me as "-2 IQ degenerate nerd", referencing me mocking myself and my many failures I have apologized for.
Finally, they called me the "Texas Femboy Kisser". While I do not kiss femboys, or people from Texas, this conversation piece is indicative of a group of people I am familiar with.
Hello to you too, 'Fortibitch'.
Today Mastercard bought Cyber Threat Intelligence company RecordedFuture.
Why did a payment service provider acquire a threat intelligence company? Well, it's very simple — we don't understand it at all, but we assure you it's very simple, probably.
