    The creativity of threat hunters will NEVER cease to amaze me

    LLL: "It's from 20 years ago, 2006." Me: "It's not THAT long -- Oh shit..."

    Can I just say this? Thank you Low Level Learning for dark mode. So many yt chanels flash bang me.

    "Everyone can do it" - Yeah for now nobody was able to do it on a 64 bit system only on 32 bit systems lol.
  • @ToyKeeper
    Bugs like this are part of why I use a pretty aggressive fail2ban. The attacker doesn't get 10,000 tries... instead they get 3 tries or sometimes even less. The bans eventually expire, but instead of hours to get in, it would take decades. Plenty of time to install a fixed version.
  • @IngwiePhoenix
    This has all my windows people at work scream LINUX VIRUS and im so exhausted of telling them it would take literal hours and using fail2ban is a dead simple mitigation any public server should have anyway. Ugh... That said, this explanation was really good! Reminds me of the late Tetris level shenanigans where VBlank interrupts cause almost the same situation - albeit of a different nature.

    I think at this point we can update the saying to "the three hardest problems in computer science are cache invalidation, naming things, asynchronous programs and 'Off By 1' errors"
  • @IrtyGo560
    oh that is why an openssh update was avaliable.
  • @buhfur4694
    Just wanna say I love your vids man , high prod quality and clear description of the issue.
  • @Infinitiverse
    Interesting video & well explained. I'll be coming back to this channel for more content like this, good stuff! 👍
  • @bigsluggy
    What an excellent explanation, you are a great teacher. Subscribed!
  • This is a really high quality and useful video for me. It makes me look smart to my bosses. Thank you :)
  • @test40323
    very well explained. i love that the vulnerability is put under real word context and report is not just a scary click bait. if one has a cloud server e.g. amazon, they should limit their client IP address for that ssh port.
  • @mylairhasnoip
    Your explaination for laypersons is very very good. I'm not a programmer or security expert by any means, but found it was easy to comprehend thanks to your summary
