Another interview posted! Please check it out and let me know how I did, if you can get past the monotone in my voice 😂

traceroute isn't real?

great news: daytime ddos (?) this time!

i got yeeted off the server literally seconds after i finished a craft, got lobby errored about three times, then started getting one i don't think i've ever seen before, or if i have it's been so long that i don't remember it (3070 - world data could not be retrieved) and then i got past that only to be put in a queue of 29 people that never moves (it's been 5+ minutes).

تتبع حزم البيانات باستخدام Traceroute: كيف يعمل وكيف يُمكن أن يُفيدك في تحليل مسار الشبكة

أثناء استخدامك للإنترنت، من السهل حقًا أن تنسى أنَّ هناك الكثير من المُكوِّنات والخوادم التي تُساعد في الحفاظ على شبكة الويب العالمية قيد التشغيل. كل حزمة تُرسلها، من رسالة محادثة إلى صورة قطة، يجب أن تنتقل عبر التبادلات والخوادم للوصول إلى وجهتها. لسوء الحظ، لا شيء يُذكِّرك بحدوث مثل هذا الإعداد أفضل من عدم قدرتك على الاتصال بموقع ويب. قد يكون السبب يرجع إلى خطأ ما من جانبك، أو من جانب موقع الويب، أو في مكان ما بينهما. وأفضل طريقة لمعرفة مكان المُشكلة هي استخدام أداة Traceroute. تحقق من أفضل الأدوات لاستكشاف مشكلات الشبكة وإصلاحها.

I’m sorry but I’m still losing my fucking MIND over elons incomprehensible Linux own the libs tweet like

Like it’s incredibly obvious he heard about a traceroute, and then googled “how to delete file in Linux” and then didn’t even read the results

Like… woke_mind_virus isn’t a fully qualified domain name, meaning it relies on a custom DNS resolution specific to his machine, or if utilizing a vpn, that specific vpn’s custom host file. Or that the American government would have a host entry for a woke mind virus, which if you’ve ever had to use a government website, is laughable. Also DNS is global for the most part, but honestly we can move on at this point.

So sure, we’ll say that the government has forced all public internet in America to resolve woke_mind_virus. Where does it resolve to? YOUR OWN COMPUTER, you silly billy! Obviously! This is *almost* comprehensible. Sure, we are all infected with the woke mind virus, why not. It must be destroyed within ourselves. Yeah man, whatever. Why not? So how do we destroy it?

Duh! Just delete it! How do we do that in our L337 uber hax0r terminal on our fresh kali live usb (because partitions are scary)? We’ll save that for last.

Because while deleting one file could make a website inoperable, it does not remove every trace of it! It first needs a configuration file in the web server, usually Apache or nginx. This is at LEAST one file, but cmon, if you’re gonna psychologically program the masses and keep it out of public view, you gotta encrypt that shit! So naturally, an SSL is in order! That’s easily 1-3 more files. woke_mind_virus can get a pass on not being fully qualified in this specific case because certs can theoretically be self signed and trusted on local networks, but he wouldn’t be able to tell you that. If you stood up a little one page html site on a web server on your own computer, and navigated to it on port 443 (https://) you would get an SSL error, even though it’s on your own machine. I feel like I’ve beaten this into the ground enough, but just understand it’s stupid.

What’s important to note here is that these BARE MINIMUM files are what routes the request from your machine to the destination site, even if it’s your own computer. If you delete the contents of the site (also called the docroot), the site still exists, and can receive and route requests to and from it, it’s just empty. You’ll probably get a 404 because there’s no actual content to serve. This woke mind princess is in another castle.

It’s also imprudent to delete these configuration files first, because that’s how you determine where the site content actually is! These files dictate what directory (folder for you windows losers) is called upon to actually serve you the content you see displayed when you open a webpage. So you need this information if you don’t want to destroy the entire file system and only want to remove the woke_mind_virus site. Cmon Elon, this is baby shit.

So of course, the strat with the most Efficiency and preserving the rest of the system (which seems to be the point of the tweet) is to find the docroot, delete the docroot, and then delete the web server config files. So how do we delete them?

And here we have it: rm -rf

The syntax is as follows:

rm -rf </path/to/file>

Even if you don’t know shit about Linux, you can probably see the problem here. It’s just so blatantly incorrect, it’s almost as if he’s never done it before.

For those that want to see a real world example, here is me creating a file called woke_mind_virus in my home directory and then trying to delete it the Elon Way:

I’m on Traceroute!

My appearance on the Traceroute podcast has been posted. As of typing, I have listened to about half of the episode and aside from my monotone (😬), I think I did well. The media appearances page will be updated with the links to check the episode out, but in addition to that, here you go: Equinix (official) Apple Spotify Google

How to find the network path (route) to the Internet host using Linux

[good-fwiend-in-wome]

i must not encrypt. encryption is the data killer. encryption is the little-lock that brings total obfuscation. i will send the packet, i will permit it to pass over and through the internet publicly, and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye upon its traceroute. where the data has gone there will be no security. only i will remain
