My fellow penguins,
I have been pwned. What started off as weeks of smiling everytime I heard a 7-10s soundbyte of Karma Factory’s “Where Is My Mind” has now devolved into hearing dashes and dots (Morse Code) and my all-time favorite, a South Park S13: Dead Celebrities soundbyte of Ike’s Dad saying, “Ike, we are sick of you talking about ghosts!”
It’s getting old now.
I feel like these sounds should be grepable in some log somewhere, but I’m a neophyte to this. I’ve done a clean (secure wipe >> reinstall) already, the sounds returned not even a day later.
Distro is Debian Bookworm. So how do I find these soundbytes? And how do I overcome this persistence? UFW is blocking inbound connection attempts everyday, but the attacker already established a foothold.
Thank you in advance. LOLseas
I’d say wipe and reinstall again, but this time with a different Distro and user password, just to eliminate a bunch of variables at once, including suspect install media.
Try Fedora this time. It usually gets the latest security patches in its repos quite quickly, and it has spins for all the myriad desktop environments out there.
Sound advice. It’s been a long time since I spun up a Fedora install. I always seemed to return to Debian. Been running it since Squeeze (2013).
Try Nobara, theyve done a great job
