He didn't, malware guys use UPX and it's true that antiviruses scream bloody murder when they see it. It's also true you can't see what's inside unless you have special tools to do so. UPX also has one huge downside, it's its RAM usage, due to it's inner workings it's unable to use optimisations that normal binaries can like page sharing.

Tech? I would really love to join reverse engineering community or two.

They will not because it wouldn't be profitable to them.

If you log in w/ tor to account you've logged it w/o it you deanonymise yourself and it makes no sense.

Tidal and tidal-dl. You can ask me for stuff.

Grab my hunting knife. Hide it under coat. Call my dogs. Go meet that thing. Knife has to be hidden in case it turns out peaceful like i am. (peaceful is not harmless)

Why didn't anyone mention burning it to ashes?

Go check what causes them grabbing my axe along the way.

Depends on country you happen to be in. If it's Poland or eastern Europe noone will give a damn. If it's Germany then you might be screwed. If you're on a good VPN you should be ok even in Germany.

It's not, i've got two non-tech friends on my private instance, biggest issue was me nuking wrong folder on server. You just need a good client, i go with Dino for desktop and monocles chat for android. My non-techies are mobile-only and i and my techy friend are on Dino on desktop, only feature it lacked is group calls which i've monkeypached with a feature for my bot that generates Jitsi invites.

I've found a old CD and put it up on Internet Archive, it's a place for old stuff to go.

Tried and can confirm almost every webpage even static ones which could be simple as rock needs truckload of bloat js code to be loaded from ext servers.

To add to Possibly Linux's precise and correct answer: Those leaks are made by hackers taking over organisation's servers and publishing what they found, noone can control it not even orgs in question.

If it's not a 3rd world country ofc.

Sounds reasonable, but they won't be able to take it out, they would only be able to not send new movies there.

Friends in other comments suggested that the file is 100-300gb size, it's quite a lot of RAM if you asked me, but not much for a harddrive. If i were to design this machnie would store the movie heavily encrypted on a harddisk and store keys in RAM. Sb ealier mentioned you need special keys from special compamy to decrypt it so it would be doubly encrypted, one key stored in RAM and another inputed by technican. Ofc if i were to design this i would try to make it piratable by introducing some "accidential" vuln.

Yeah, there's no need to pirate at the cinema when you can pirate at the studio. Anyway how in my Lord Satan they made that file that huge, it's 12K resolution or what?

Now i wonder what it does when battery dies, whether it wipes itself or not. And where it stores it's keys, in TPM or in RAM or where.

afaik audio hookups are recording of radio broadcasts for impaired not unauthorised rips of media used in cinema or recordings made using some tricks with wires and clamps.
