New Blog!

 Hey everyone! 

I decided maybe I should remake my brand as I have not really did anything with it in a very long time so you all may be seeing the new logo, new backgrounds, and the revamped discord. Along with that I have been adding custom redirect URLS for all my social platforms into my domain iwick.dev

Also I have decided maybe I should make a main page or more accurately a blog where I can post more updates about me and what I am working on so using Blogger I have created this page. I will post stuff I find interesting and updates on myself.


Here is a dump of all the new links you have probably already seen me posting everywhere lmao

GitHub https://github.iwick.dev

Discord https://discord.iwick.dev

YouTube https://youtube.iwick.dev

Steam https://steam.iwick.dev

and now

Blog https://blog.iwick.dev


Thanks everyone, see you all in the next update.

Danger in shortcuts

Image
Shortcuts, personally I never really use them. They link to a program slash file to run it or to make it easier to execute with arguments such as open minimized window. But I decided to give them a relook with the new Powershell program bundled in with all Windows installations and even released for Linux. Shortcuts if you did not know can pass arguments into the program or file it has been linked to. Usually you use this if for example you want to configure a program to launch silently using lets say a -silent flag. Well just add that into the shortcut and it will launch with that argument without having to open a shell. So what about Powershell? Well it has a interesting flag called " -Command ". The command flag allows you to pass a command or potentially even an entire script into the Powershell process that will be started. Interestingly this means an entire script can run in memory without being stored on disk at all, the most insane version of anti-malware avoidance. N

What does your VPN really do to your web traffic? (a deep dive into HTTPS)

Image
We have all seen the ads, right? If you have not, I would question how you are reading this article while turning your butter but anyway, let’s talk about VPNs (this is going to be spicy). I know we have also all heard about the "benefits" of using a VPN, such as "privacy", "security", and using that sketchy Wi-Fi that showed up while you were at the strip. So why don't we talk about what it does shall we?  First "privacy". Now yes, it might improve it to a point at least by masking your IP however there are so many other ways that you are tracked online that are not your IP that the benefit would be very little. For example, your browser dimensions, cookies, installed extensions, etc. These are all sent through the VPN and allow the service at the other end to identify you through the VPN anyway, and another point I made add. What do most people do with their VPN? I would say use services online, and what do most services have? A login! You’

Keeping your AV enabled and not extracting the ZIP

Image
Public Service  Announcement This is something I wanted to write a post about as it seems to still be getting lots of hits and fooling lots of people. I will wright the TLDR here so you can get the message now and read further if you want to learn more. If ANY program EVER tells you to disable your Anti-Malware solution PROCEED WITH EXTREAM CAUTION.  If you are ever provided with a password protected archive again PROCEED WITH EXTREAM CAUTION. Now that the TLDR is out of the way let me explain. There have been many campaigns that have been involving something in common, using a password protected zip file hosted with a page that contains both the password AND instructions to disable your Anti-Malware solution. The ZIP file then contains infected files usually Redline or alike however if the person follows the instructions as provided they would have disabled their Anti-Malware solution which would now not detect the sample. This is a common tactic used to distribute malware onto comput
