  • You've got half of it. The hacker's server is acting as a middleman for the real login page. Everything appears legitimate except the URL will be wrong and if you use a password manager, it won't auto-fill

    They access the legit login page and forward it to you, but they're in the middle capturing everything you send.

    When you enter your login details, they will record them and then forward them to the real login window in near real time, effectively logging in as you. They then have a legitimate session token which they can use to access your account without needing to re-authenticate.

  • An attack using this tool does require that the user actually logs in, but because they're just acting as a proxy for the real login page, the only way you'd spot the difference is if the URL doesn't match (or that your password manager doesn't auto-fill)

    However, it's pretty easy to see that someone would be fooled by that as you'd expect to need to confirm your identity when adding a gift card to your steam account.

  • Typically, with scams like this, the attacker is using a tool like Evilginx.

    The way this works is that Evilginx runs on a server that the hacker controls and will request the login page from whatever service they are targeting(Discord, Steam, Google, etc) and then serve it to you as a proxy. It looks entirely legitimate unless you make sure to very closely check the URL.

    Once you login, it will take a copy of your Username, your password, and your session token(the thing that lets Discord know it's you so you don't need to login again after every refresh). and suddenly the attackers now have access to your account to do whatever they want with it.

    Discord should absolutely prevent modifying links in this way specifically for this reason, but good practice as a user is to hover over every link and make sure it's pointing where it's supposed to. Don't click on anything that looks suspicious.

  • Nintendo doesn't go after fangames like this

    Unless you're like AM2R, Pokemon Uranium, Mario 64 online, or any of the the other numerous fangames, romhacks, or mods that Nintendo threatened to sue into oblivion.

  • This looks incredible. I hope it evades the eye of sauron that is Nintendo's lawyers

  • Those treated with kindness are better for eating.

  • These are awesome.

    I just try to find a magic card that shares a theme with whatever the book is

  • My friends and I do a bi-weekly anime night where everyone chooses a series and we watch an episode of each; kind of like a curated Toonami block. One of my friends chose the original Urusei Yatsura.

    We're currently on episode 152, with many more remaining.

  • “Kids these days are too into their iPads, or too into the influencers,” Nancy Sanchez said

    you ever read a sentence and immediately realize the person that said it has never spoken to a person under the age of 30?

    (With full understanding that the person that said this is only 25)

  • Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

  • I hate reading after I've taken an edible.

    My mind tends to wander super hard and I constantly get that thing where I read a paragraph word by word, but dont comprehend a larger meaning which then forces me to go back and re-read the paragraph. Repeat ad nauseum

  • Rule

    Jump
  • The reason this is done is because you can see everything your browser is doing, but you can't see everything an application is doing without disassembling it.

    I want very much to go back to websites. Apps are stupid.

  • My certs have all expired, but when I started I didnt have any at all.

    The thing that worked for me was to apply to small businesses(Look into local MSPs). Places that have ~20 employees have much less rigor about certs and will more likely test that you're amicable enough to mesh with the rest of the team. From there you can build experience and often get thr company to pay for your certs.

  • I mean, WW2 Japan did eventually surrender.

  • This video was the tool I needed to figure out how meditation is supposed to work. Then it's just a matter of practice afterwards.

  • Yes. She's female and was born female.

    It's illegal to be transgender in Algeria, and the only complaint came from a Russian boxing body with a history of making suspect claims in the past.

  • It really shouldn't be, but in some places, yeah.

  • Not at all.

    Unsolicited email is spam. It's as simple as that. Dont feel bad about flagging them as such if they won't respect your contact preferences.

  • There are loads of people out there that want stuff like this but dont have computer-related hobbies.

    It makes perfect sense if you understand what you're doing at each step, but if you've never used a command line before, each instruction would look like arcane gibberish.
