A very interesting read, where it keeps me wondering how batch files like these are being generated (making them by hand feels very surreal): [Wayback/Archive] From Highly Obfuscated Batch File to XWorm and Redline – SANS Internet Storm Center
VirusTotal entry: [Wayback/Archive] VirusTotal – File – 453c017e02e6ce747d605081ad78bf210b3d0004a056d1f65dd1f21c9bf13a9a
The day after the article was written, only Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm detected it; in the past ZoneAlarm used the Kaspersky engine, but that stopped a while ago: [Wayback/Archive] ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus Review | PCMag.
The malware uses at least these technologies:

Note that the below methods likely will cause security warnings if a Windows machine has been properly configured, but in most cases at least one of them works.
- using cURL (Widows 10 and up)
curl --url https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin --output %TEMP%\100MB.bin
- using [Wayback/Archive]
certutil | Microsoft Docs (at least Windows 7 and up; needs UAC elevation)
certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin %TEMP%\100MB.bin
- using PowerShell (at least Windows Vista and up)
powershell.exe -Command (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin','%TEMP%\100MB.bin')
I think it works for all versions of curl, certutil, and PowerShell though I did not have anything older than up-to-date Windows 7 (having PowerShell version 3) and recent to test on.

Apparently I was living under a stone since the 2015 introduction of [Wayback/Archive] Paste to Markdown:
Paste to Markdown
Instructions
- Find the text to convert to Markdown (e.g., in another browser tab)
- Copy it to the clipboard (
Ctrl+C, or ⌘+C on Mac)
- Paste it into this window (
Ctrl+V, or ⌘+V on Mac)
- The converted Markdown will appear!
The conversion is carried out by to-markdown, a Markdown converter written in JavaScript and running locally in the browser.
The “to-markdown” I did already know (see A few HTML to Markdown converters written in javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP and C#) but has been renamed from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – domchristie/to-markdown: An HTML to Markdown converter written in JavaScript into then “turndown” repository below.

A long time ago, I wrote about How to hide an entire drive from prying eyes on Windows 10 | Windows Central.
The easiest way is still to add/modify a NoDrives value in the Registry, but regrettably [WayBack] NT Drive Calculator – The ‘NoDrives’ Registry Key Value Calculator is down (it was a server-side solution, so the WayBack Machine link does display a page, but the calculator does not function).
My use case is that I have an existing NoDrives value that I want to update (as there have been one or more drive letters added/changed).

Reminder to check-out of the 2015 issue mentioned in the tweets below has been had any progress.
At the time of tweeting, choco has no notion of [Wayback/Archive] status.chocolatey.org which would be very helpful to point to in case of errors on time-outs on chocolatey server calls especially if it could interrogate and inform of maintenance windows and outages when things fail on the client side.

The HTMX based [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – AnswerDotAI/fasthtml: The fastest way to create an HTML app
FastHTML is a new next-generation web framework for fast, scalable web applications with minimal, compact code. It’s designed to be:
- Powerful and expressive enough to build the most advanced, interactive web apps you can imagine.
- Fast and lightweight, so you can write less code and get more done.
- Easy to learn and use, with a simple, intuitive syntax that makes it easy to build complex apps quickly.
FastHTML apps are just Python code, so you can use FastHTML with the full power of the Python language and ecosystem.
Could this be something for me?
