Agenda Ransomware Deploys Linux Variant on Windows Systems Through Remote Management Tools and BYOVD Techniques

Agenda ransomware group, also known as Qilin, has been deploying a Linux-based ransomware binary on Windows hosts using legitimate remote management and file transfer tools. This cross-platform execution technique bypasses Windows-centric detections and security solutions. The attack chain includes the use of BYOVD for defense evasion, deployment of multiple SOCKS proxy instances for C&C traffic obfuscation, and targeted theft of backup credentials. Agenda has affected 591 victims across 58 countries since January 2025, primarily targeting organizations in developed markets and high-value industries. The group's sophisticated approach combines legitimate tools, cross-platform execution, and strategic targeting of backup infrastructure, making detection significantly more challenging for organizations.

Ab Mai 2026 wird Debian APT Rust zwingend voraussetzen. Ports ohne funktionierende Rust-Toolchain haben sechs Monate Zeit – oder werden eingestellt.

# "Stopping a kernel module from loading on boot in Debian Trixie using /etc/modules-load.d/"

A bit of learning for me this morning, which I've written down in case I need it again. It might help someone else too.

I'm fed up with my windows dual boot I use to run my lifetime license of Lightroom6.
Is there a good photo software I can run on linux (even if paid) with a good UX ? I find Darktable/Rawtherapy quite complicated, especially given the initial raw is far from the canon presets. Any advice anyone ?

Muutama viikko sitten asensin Linuxin ja siinä jälkimeiningeissä myös Thunderbirdin.

Oma kokemus Thunderbirdistä ajoittuu yli 10 vuoden taakse, joten client on tuttu ennestään. Gmail-tilit sain heittämällä sisään. iCloud Mail tilin kohdalla tuli seinä vastaan. Jätin asian myöhemmälle selvitettäväksi.

No nyt päätin ottaa härkää sarvista ja selvittää mikä homma. Selvisi ettei Thunderbirdissä voi käyttää AppleID salasanaa. Vaaditaan sovelluskohtainen salasana. Tämä aamu meneekin nyt siinä, sen luomisessa.

📣 Projekt „Distro miesiąca” w zawieszeniu

Muszę przyznać — projekt „Distro miesiąca” spadł z rowerka. Zwyczajnie brak mi czasu, a i zainteresowanie było raczej skromne.📉
W sieci jest tego mnóstwo, więc ciężko się przebić, a ja wolę skupiać się na tym, co sprawia mi najwięcej frajdy: moje własne doświadczenia z Linuxem i codzienna praca na Archu.

People need to stop spreading the following Arch Linux Myths:

- Arch isn’t stable for daily use
- You need to update your system daily
- The AUR is filled with malware
- You can't use Arch without using the terminal

The above are just plain False

Might be completely unsupported, but Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (x86_64) runs perfectly fine on the bhyve hypervisor on my FreeBSD based home-server :-)

Running several applications (like Forgejo, Traefik and uptime-kuma) in Podman containers and is managed by Red Hat Satellite for patching and lifecycle management. Satellite even shows "BHYVE" as the hyperviror in the UI.

I have just released my debut solo album, "Tools and Toys", part of an electronic/synthpop project (Transits of Mars) that I've been developing in recent years.

Available to stream and download on Bandcamp.

Hope you like it. More on the way in the new year.

To everyone who says ‘install Linux’ as a solution to Windows problems (or ‘install LibreOffice’ as a solution to MS Office problems), imagine how you would react if you posted about Linux problems and all of the responses were ‘install Haiku’. Would it work? Maybe, but the person saying it has no idea what you do on Linux, whether the apps that you use run on Haiku (or have alternatives that you could switch to). Neither of you have a clear understanding of how much time and effort the switch would take, or what the network effects are that make switching hard.

If you have actually engaged with them, understood their requirements fully, and have a migration path outlined for them, great. If you’re just being a dick, think about how that makes people perceive Linux users: Maybe that isn’t a great way of driving adoption.

What is a service you will never pay for?

#askfedi #linux #macos #windows #privacy #enshittification

Ich hatte ja gestern das Vergnügen, ein refurbished Yoga Thinkpad mit einem #Debian #Linux zu verwöhnen.

Schnelle Installation, ein bisserl Treiberfu und ein vergnügliches Einrichten (Browseraddons, Passwort-Manager...)

Am selben Rechner ist auch Win11 drauf. Das durfte ich auch auf letzten Stand bringen.

Abgesehen von der endlosen Upgrade-Orgie und dem schnarchlangsamen Bootprozess von Windows fiel mir aber etwas anderes, sehr bemerkenswertes auf, das ich berichtenswürdig finde.

Nimmt man ein nigelnagelneues Win11 her,öffnet den Browser Edge oder klickt links unten hin, wo bisher der Windowsbutton war (Gewohnheit) tun sich arge Dinge auf. Putin, Trump, Xi schauen da raus. Eine arme AfD-Influenzerin wird beweint, und alles löst nur Stress und Angst aus. Ein Wirbel aus Scheiße und anderer Scheiße schlägt einem entgegen.

Und schon klickst du drauf... vor Klickbait ist keiner gefeit... und die Scheiße wird mehr.

Bei der Suchleiste in der Mitte prangt gleich irgrnd ein Hinweis auf irgend ein Spiel. Dass daneben die Systemsuche ist, geht sogar unter.

Machst du die Systemsteuerung auf, Nudging, dass mit einem MS-Konto alles viel besser klappt und superer ist.
Nudging für ein One-Drive.

Nach 10 Minuten war ich fertig. Mit den Nerven.

Und ich kam zur Erkenntnis: würden mehr Leute Linux nutzen, wäre die Welt ein besserer Ort. Rein wegen der nicht verbreiteten Scheiße in einer Linux Standardinstallation.

Windows? Ich habe fertig.
(Wieder einmal. Ich schätze mich wirklich glücklich, seit vielen Jahren nur mehr Linux am Desktop zu haben!)

Tech people talk about tech too much.

I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.

And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.

It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.

For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.

I am so lost, every single time.

I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.

I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.

My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)

For the longest time, I felt #Debian's twoish-year release cycle was too long. But now that #trixie's #KDE is so nice and stable - I never thought I'd say this - the two-year cycle feels NOT LONG ENOUGH. I want this stretch of excellent stability and functionality I'm experiencing to never end. May the upgrade treadmill just sort of stop right here. May there never be a QT 7, a KDE 7 etc. To my mind they've got it just nice now. I don't give a care about zero-value features like rounded corners, etc. Screw change for the sake of change.

Alright! Our town has our first Linux Install Party scheduled for next Saturday!

Plenty of volunteers to help out. We got a free meeting room at the library. We're installing Linux Mint as a default (but will be able to install other distros). We're putting together demo laptops this week.

Going to use this as a "first event" to iron out how to do it. Will set up to do it on a more consistent basis next year. May even make it part of the repair cafe and an official library event moving forward.

I'll let y'all know how it goes!!!

In my latest bit of #Linux mischief... a colleague of mine (cleaning supervisor at work) complained that his ten year old personal laptop is taking 10, 15 minutes to load Windows 10.

I handed him a Linux Mint installation media to swap out the operating system. #LinuxMint

I walked him through the steps, the issue of data loss, benefits and drawbacks, and flagged the different folks in his family who could help him should he run into issues.
