Not only does he know how to use Git, he's hosting the entirety of GitHub in his "home laboratory" (normally I'd assume he's just self-hosting a Git server, but I think he legit went into a word-salad mode there, and I'm pretty sure you can't self-host a GitHub instance so there's that):

How much are you guys willing to bet that those very cool tools he has is stuff like passwordcracker.py and it’s just a huge ifelse statement that cycles through the most popular passwords.

Jason is better than that! True elite H4xx0r5 like "Thor" only use nested switch statements.

The question was:

Well hello, do you have a GitHub with any interesting stuff on it? Or any accounts you pull from normally?

Of course, Mald interrupts at the end of the first sentence to begin to brag, waits, then completely misunderstands the questions.

I have a GitHub with a lot of interesting stuff on it, but it's private.
I have, I have (sic) a GitHub with access to a whole lot of stuff, that I built over a very long career in offensive security.
And then I have a bunch of different control methods into that, with a bunch of different accounts, that have different control methods over that.
So even if someone got into one of my accounts, they wouldn't get into all of them.
And even then, each one of those tools has pieces that you don't have access to, unless you have access to the physical hardware in my home laboratory.
<long pause>
Ain't getting that shit.

So a fan asks him for anything interesting he's worked on or uses/finds interesting, and instead of being like "Sorry bro but all my code is private, but such and such is some interesting project/account to look at." Mald just brags about his op-sec, poorly, confusing terms and bragging about how impenetrable it all is. If he answers all questions like this, that is, with a complete lack of content and over inflated ego, how does he still get donations?

My bet is he has little to no collection of anything useful, and a very poor understanding of Git and version control in general, as this sounds like script-kiddie talk. You can keep encrypted files out in the public or the same place us unencrypted ones and just secure them with a good private key and passphrase you keep to yourself. Describing a convoluted, over-engineered security process for your code is very Hollywood, and utterly unnecessary unless you're some kind of spook or criminal enterprise.

A security expert who consults or actually enjoys their work would likely maintain some kind of web-presence, especially on GitHub, even if it is just a GPG key and some starred or forked repositories. So he'd be able to respond to the second part of the question with a simple "you can check the projects I forked my GitHub which I don't really use for some interesting stuff."

Also, I'd like to point out there are some security reasons to actually use a third-party like GitHub for your code, especially when you're a tiny indie studio. Namely, they'll have a lot more security resources than you can ever hope to have, and they have an obligation to not steal your shit. It's also one less thing that can go wrong on your end.

Does he start those songs to "enhance the moment"? It kinda gives that vibe.

To Maldy's defence, a lot of big corpos have very retarded and convoluted ways to handle access. Maybe he learned it at Blizzad (he supposedly worked there for 7 years) from other nepo baby.

Jesus fucking Christ. It makes some amount of sense if you pretend he heard GitLab, which can in fact be self-hosted. And I think he's trying to vaguely describe security concepts such as access control systems and separation of concerns. But instead he ends up sounding like a plausible internal monologue for a ferret barricading itself in its house immediately prior to its demise.

Also very conceited to take the opportunity to brag about the security rivaling the ferret gulag when obviously, the question was "where can I see your code"?

 

[potato sack]

how does he still get donations?

we're at an era where people will gravitate towards a content creator and take everything they say at face value, and only when that content creator does something that generates ad revenue through lolcow udder ticks doing reaction videos do the entire backlog of shit comes to light, or they get hit with a moment of clarity and start asking quesitons

its like a fucking religion

my moment of clarity came from him saying champions of breakfast is impossible to pirate, because that's either a complete fucking lie, making him a grifter, or just incorrect, making him a hack. the best take about how your game is "impossible to pirate" is to keep your mouth shut, or be honest (i.e. it was a clear impeditive to pirate it)

he obviously also said that around the time the game came out in 2016 too because it's a game with 120 reviews on steam (not a lot by any measure) and it was pirated in 2017. someone took offense to it

this made me question everything else and here we are

until these people get their moment of clarity someone hearing about maldies github and tajking it at face value will either be someone who didnt understand it or some skiddie still in the learning stages and is guzzlin at hackerman with several decades of hacking everything

Good point. I've seen and heard some dumb stuff like that. Businesses often over-complicate simple stuff, especially those that are "too big to fail" or run by people who think they're smarter than they are (like Mr Figtree). I was just a little dumbstruck by how time consuming it must be for him to do his l33t hacking with such a convoluted setup. I'm obviously not a pro-hacker like Mald, but I'd likely just use some good 2FA and strong encryption to keep my super secret stash secure and dispense with the rest since I am an impatient fuck.

I still doubt his expertise with version control systems, just because:

1. You learn that shit early and it pays dividends throughout your career
2. His code quality from other posts shows a lack of care for his craft
3. He seems to misunderstand and misspeak in that clip

Self hosting Git is super simple, so are things like Gitea, Cgit, and even GitLab. At least GitLab was like 10 years ago. I don't think it's the best fit for a game though, given you've got all the art and audio assets that need something like Git LFS. That might not be too hard to setup but I'd leave it to a third-party to deal as I said in my other comment. Bonus points is GitHub or whoever will actually keep redundant backups of your repositories because Git is not a true backup solution. If Mald is self-hosting, I doubt he'd think of stuff like that.

 

[ChromaQuack]

Jason "Mald" Figtree is one of the best examples for the phrase "An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity".
His password storage? Needlessly complex and hails himself as a genius for it.
His "code"? Unreadable mess that he thinks is going to create the next Undertale. (Also saw a tweet of someone "improving" it but couldn't find it. He would never accept that though)
His Git solution? "I'm on so many levels of git, you wouldn't understand"
His ferrets? Why take care of a handful, when you can just stuff them into your house until there is no room?

You're right, his soyber security system should be as simple as storing a hardware authenticator in the gnome he shoves up his ass. That would make him literally unhackable. Nobody is risking the diseases they would get from touching that thing for Rectumbound.

 

[Symbol of the Chud]

So how badly is his "gibsmedat" drive on April 1st gonna go now everyone hates him?

Ain't getting that shit.

Jesus... the more you know about that stuff, the less any of this makes sense. Like it's just jumbo mumbo, 90s hacker movie style talk. "I'm hacking into the mainframe!"

Why would he have more than "one GitHub", assuming he actually meant "GitHub account"? That's like saying "I have many Kiwifarms".
Why would his "GitHub" have "access" to something that "he built"? It doesn't even make sense like that. That's like saying "I have access to a Dropbox folder with a lot of photos I took over the years". Why wouldn't you have access to your own shit?
What are "control methods" even in this context? None of this makes sense!

"Ain't getting that shit", bro, that's like going to a job interview and saying "heh stalker child, I have a lot of things in my CV, but nobody is able to see them, because it's all encrypted ".
GitHub is mainly for SHARING, it is where people CONTRIBUTE TO e.g. open source software publicly. To a developer, your GitHub account can act as your CV. The guy asking the question wanted to see some code written by Jason.

Like here are some actually VALID answers:
- yeah here is my GitHub account, check out my contributions to open source
- I use GitHub, but only for developing my game, so the repos are all private
- nah I don't use GitHub, my company self hosts a gitlab instance
- I don't use any remote git server, I just do it all locally

Does anyone have this shit clipped on YouTube or somewhere else? I need to drop this in the inbox of a few people.

 

[prolapsed_cranium]

Saying your dead ferrets are in Valhalla is cringy as fuck. Did they die in battle? Because that’s how you get into Valhalla.

They had to battle Thor's ego and autism to survive as long as they have.

Not too different from the GNOME Keyring.

[Sunflower Samurai]

You guys dont get it
He has very clever ways to hide and remember all his Github accounts with his superhacker FBI tools that can access the Pentagon's coffee machines
He just uses a very clever stenographic occlusion telemetry proxy by hiding code in his Ferret porn collection, which is vital due to its unique properties and utmost security

[Goon Knight]

Anyone find out who this nigger khronos is? I really want to confirm his legal "qualifications. or if he ever even worked in the industry. No way he would quit that job to be a janny for ferret hitler

This is what he looks like

His birthdate: March 20, 1990

He lived near/around Portsmouth South

He created a kissing booth in lordofthecraft.net

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/profile/15482-khronosvii/content/?entireSection=1

He played a lot of skysaga based on his reddit, i can find him in 1 video from 10 years ago but the guy who made the video is dead

https://www.instagram.com/vinvapesuk/

I extracted this barcode from 2 images he posted on bluesky from an amazon package but i'm unable to extract the barcode from it. Does amazon have order info on the barcode itself? maybe someone here can figure it out

Has anyone looked into this fag and can share more info on where i can look?

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

This is what he looks like

Is that an undoctored photo?! If I was in the jury and this dude was being accused of raping kids, I would vote guilty before the whole proceedings even started lmao.

 

[Frightened Rabbit]

This is what he looks like

Is this what they call the "Millennial Smirk"? Why is he looking smug yet like a complete caveman sperg, I guess if you look like that you'll just hit it off with ferret fucker immediately.

 

[kiwirevolving]

anyone seriously calling himself a hacker is a faggot and mald should kill himself for seriously calling himself that.

He's from the UK, correct? Probably hiding his hideous teeth.
