Looked this janny up in the phonebook, and took 40 minutes to confirm. As a professional, I find this disgraceful. It was like strangling a puppy.

Janny for /o/ /n/ and /p/

Dude used his professional email. hello@peternicholson.net

Brought me immediately to his own page. Conveniently let me know he lives in Rochester, New York. Didn't even have to worry about figuring out if he could be a janny for the photography board since dude has an MFA in photography.



Peter Nicholson is a lens-based artist working in digital mediums. He holds a BFA from SUNY New Paltz and completed his MFA in Photography at Rhode Island School of Design in 2017. Originally from the Hudson Valley, he relocated to Rochester from NYC where he worked as as a Studio Manager at a fine art printing studio; producing prints for museum exhibitions, gallery shows, and private clients and, specializing in archival digitization and production of facsimiles. His photography is grounded in the New Topographics movement, while exploring ideas of place and belonging.


But is this "the guy"?

Well white pages says there is a Peter Nicholson, a CLIVE Nicholson, and a Brenna Mccaffrey living at

92 Harwick Rd
rochester, NY 14609

His professional page says he lives with his wife and cats though. So.....

Its always the the significant others socials that close the deal, isn't it.

It would be funny is Jawsh just snakes 4chan and makes an anonymous imageboard section on this website, it could be temporary like how you make a false-habitat for a creature before releasing back to its real environment :P
the communities aren't compatible. You'd be mixing free speech extremists, mod-fellating sycophants, and lolicons into your userbase. The resulting autoimmune response would cause the craziest shit that's happened on the internet since Usenet
 
@Null what do you think is going to happen when 4chan inevitably comes back online? This is obviously way too big for them to pretend that nothing happened especially the longer the site is offline. I feel like there almost has to be some sort of concessions on some things like the 900 second timer or some of the moderation policies if they want to have any chance of recovering the site’s userbase. That might just be wishful thinking on my part.

They won't do shit and will be more restrictive out of spite. Name 1 time the jannies ever reversed a decision everyone hated or actually did something people liked. There's a very valid reason why so many people are pissed at 4chan and support soyjak party which basically exists to spite and mock 4chan and it's jannies.
 
/k/ was absolutely killed because the federal white collar workers in charge of monitoring 4chan spit out their Starbucks once they heard people on that website can still somehow obtain firearms.
Amount reddit faggots defending /k/ jannies heavy handed censorship over Muh Ukraine is disgusting. Feds for the most part didn’t give a fuck about /pol/.(/k/ jannies were censoring political speech long before the Ukraine war.) Most legitimately fed posting and violences origins from /k/. Christchurch shooter on 8chan was more /k/ than /pol/. 8chan /k/ BO was even fed. /k/ Jannies were famous for being bad even in the 4channel era.
 
Normalfags already believe 4chan is a website where neonazis conspire to democratically elect Donald Trump and use over nine-thousand penises on children. The idea of 4chan users owning guns? Those scary black things that are directly responsible for all the violence in America? That had to be given special attention. Even more monitoring; even more snuffing out potential beer hall meetings than the rest of the boards receive, which is already a lot. /k/ was absolutely killed because the federal white collar workers in charge of monitoring 4chan spit out their Starbucks once they heard people on that website can still somehow obtain firearms.
honestly, nuggetfest and nugget enterprises probably got the screws turned on them. /k/ommandos were regularly having large IRL meetups and developing milsurp resale companies.
 
The 4chan Cup is a virtual soccer game hosted with most boards in participation since 2011, /mlp/ had been chasing a third star (cup win) for over 9 years, many joked the 4cc would be over if /mlp/ got the third star, 2 months ago on February 9th it happened /mlp/ won the Winter Cup and now there might not be an /mlp/ once all is said and done, they probably will bring back the board but if the site stays down for a month I don't know if the activity left will be very fun.

>4chan's users might not show it openly, but I know they appreciate what you do as well.
Being a 4chan moderator, or janitor, must be the most self-humiliating job ever. You can't put it on a resume. No one respects you. You don't get compensation or any benefits. And if your personal information is leaked all you get is a timid "thank you" from your boss who expects you to keep doing it for free.
 
As someone whose web dev experience is making a hello world.html page once, what is the harm in disabling PDFs and just putting the site back up? To me it seems like the worst case is that someone finds another exploit and they deface everything and call the jannies niggerfaggots, but that is the status quo without having a website up
 
That email basically confirms this webzone has lived rent free in the minds of the 4chan staff for awhile now. The fact that you could never make a post on 4chan about kiwifarms implied it heavily but man. I wonder what it is about this place specifically that seems to cheese so many people off? Its hardly unique when it comes to archiving shit and gossiping about retards on the internet.
tbh my schizo theory is there's something really fucking serious about two clicks from connecting somewhere on the farms, like how DARPA pops up a little bit in the gamergate crap
forcing the specific things down would immediately call out what it is, so it's the total war instead
They just didn't plan for A Florida Man getting a bug up his ass after some assholes went after a former marine of are armed forces

Just another taste of what "ACK" has been doing in desu ghost archives.
Keep in mind, you can't point and click reply old replies on desu. So this guy has been saving post numbers and inputting >> manually.
Hilarious.
I will always give ACK credit
I don't think anybody else has appeared in their thread on the farms and shitted it up to the point it got pulled.
It's not a rare gambit, but holy fuck the mad lad actually succeeded.
 
There's more tumblr stuff:

There's more to life than having an impressive resume, DAD.

It's that the whole thing leaked and revealed that the PDF thing isn't the only vulnerability. The fact they know what the site is made of, and that those other parts already have known exploits is what makes it so vulnerable.
 
Has anyone compiled, labbed, and emulated the PDF reverse shell attack yet? I just woke up, and I plan on doing it over the next six or so hours.

I will post netlogs, source code, and the repo link along with a bootable image here for posterity. I do believe it was a PDF embedded script that wasn't checked (there was no MIME function, and all file uploads were shell executed).

ETA ~22:00 hours UTC+9
 
Just make a thing that pretends to be a copy but rather than trying to upload/manage anything, just have anything anyone attempts to post show up for a split second on their screen before getting supposedly buried by bot-spam.
Same experience, miraculously works offline.
Call it the Placebo Plantation.
