Hello,
We have returned to our pseudo-goth-weird-dark-art profile picture stage.
Have a nice day.
Shoutout to the homies at the United States Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency!
Happy 4th of July and thanks for the free Robux!

Hello,
We're terribly sorry to this round of vx-underground harddrive purchasers. We've had so many headaches with our harddrive vendor it's unimaginable. They lost our purchased drives and are now arguing about reshipping drives. They initially said they'd issue a reshipping July 2nd, now they're talking about reshipping July 5th.
First and foremost, we're no longer purchasing from Seagate. Secondly, we're going to challenge the Seagate CEO and the Seagate CFO to a 2v2 on Halo 3.
Bradley & I (smelly) vs Dave Mosley & Gianluca Romano
Rules:
- Map: Guardian
- Weapons: BRs and Snipers only
- Modifications: No invis
- Grenades are OK
- Self-imposed death: -1 point(s)
- Respawn time: 5 seconds
Good luck, noobs. We've got a 50 in Team Doubles
FBI: There's no one else that can help us but you
The Threat Intelligence expert that retired 10 years ago:
It appears multiple people have not heard this phrase before. Generally speaking, "running-a-train" on someone is an act in which multiple men have sex with a woman one after another. The post is essentially saying, "fun fact: most acts of group sex are performed on me".

Security researcher raghav127001 believes he may have identified a host actively exploiting CVE-2024-6387. However, they're not sure (and neither are we).
We've archived the binaries before the identified host nukes them.

tl;dr being a failure is cool and badass
Failure is the standard for any sort of malware development, research, or reverse engineering. We think of ideas all the time, research them, work on developing them, then it implodes and fails to come to fruition.
Collectively, we've got dozens of failed, botched, or incomplete projects due to various setbacks and failures. Often times the code is scrapped, put on a metaphorical shelf, and hope the code will be of value sometime later down the road (sometimes years later, or never).
If you're new and you invested several hours, days, weeks, or months and your code ends up being a dead end: Welcome to the club.
Attached image is a screenshot of failed or incomplete projects. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Today RecordedFuture released a research paper on using malware infostealer logs to identify CSAM consumers.
RecordedFuture identified over 3,000 individuals purchasing CSAM. All users were reported to their respective law enforcement agency.

One the largest contributors to vx-underground is JaffaCakes. In the past 45+- days he has submitted over 1,250,000 unique malware samples to the vx-underground malware database.
He has successfully unlocked 4 cat pictures.
Hello,
We're back. It looks like everything is okay and nothing has burned to the ground. We're proud of all of you. You get +2 internet points.
Per request, if you'd like a copy of vx-uwu you can download it here:

Introduce completely useless and unnecessary COM abstractions into your code. EDRs think it's cool.
(it wraps to LocalAlloc, but whatever)
Someone put together a PowerPoint presentation on why we should follow them on Xitter.
Читать полностью…We've introduced a new section to vx-underground: Microblog. It'll contain the occasional (probably pretty rare) opinion, rant, whatever, by vx-underground staff.
We've added a new blog post entry, some small tidbits and complaints, or something.

Mildly interesting and very silly: Threat Actors on Exploit forum continue to appear in Threat Intelligence infostealer logs because they're, in some shape or form, being victims of the malware they themselves try to weaponize.

BasicallyHomeless,
1. You purchased the vx-underground in April, 2024. That is not 6 months ago.
2. LinusTechTips staff purchased their harddrive in November, 2023.
3. We responded to all of your e-mails regarding it.
4. Daddy, chill.
edit:
1. vx-underground harddrive*, made a typo
2. We're not mad at BasicallyHomeless. It has taken us a VERY long time to ship the harddrives because of harddrive shortages. We're just goofing around, no cap.
ChromeDumper - dumps stored credentials from Chrome like a generic infostealer malware. It used to work, but Chrome changes how it stores credentials fairly often, so stopped working on it
DataSharingMalcode - experimenting with various interprocess communication ideas.
Demo - Just shooting in the dark at random ideas. Experimented with things like CfOpenFileWithOplock instead of CreateFile. Lots of failing
DiscordSecrets - Disassembling the Discord binary and inserting malicious payload into it. Sort of works, stopped caring
DiscordExfil - Using Discord as a C2 using webhooks. Works, got bored with the idea
Dll1 - Throwaway DLL for debugging
EtwKeylogger - Experimented with keylogging using ETW. Someone else did it, couldn't reproduce it, gave up
FirewallAPI - Various experiments with using Windows COM to disable or alter the Windows firewall. It works, but got bored with the idea, moved on. Buggy code.
InMemoryJsExecutor - Uses Wscript engine to execute JS and VBS in-memory. It works, is buggy and unstable.
KeyboardTsf - Experimenting with keylogging using Windows Text Service Framework. It's a huge pain in the ass and requires a lot of external factors for it to work.
LetsGetWeird - Various attempts at abusing random Windows APIs for loading or executing binaries. Some of the code has been added to VXUG
LsassDump - Experimenting with dumping LSASS. Some of it is reproducing or testing others works.
Matroyshka - RecursiveLoader version 1. It's a piece of junk
Packer - Inserts malware into a section into the target PE file. Modifies entry point to jump to it. It works, can be unstable. Got bored
PancakeWare - Experimenting with file compression, some have been added to VXUG, most fail
SpywareVideo - Experimenting with turning the camera on a PC like old school RATs do. Got it working, but got bored.
The paper is profoundly interesting. Research indicates some users had multiple accounts across multiple CSAM sites. Using the malware stealer logs they were able to perform OSINT and tie them to real-world identities.
