Today we'll discuss The Scariest Week in Minecraft's History and how the log4j vulnerability (log4shell) was weaponized on 2b2t and other Minecraft servers, as well as the entire internet.
This java hack is not going away anytime soon.

HOW TO STAY SAFE:
1. Update Java to the most recent version
2. Update Minecraft to the most recent version
3. Re-install 3rd party versions of Minecraft ONLY if you know they are safe.
4. Servers can still be affected, so only join servers you can trust.

Hopefully the damage from the log4j vulnerability (log4shell) will not be too extreme.
2b2t is currently awaiting the 1.18/1.19 Caves & Cliffs Minecraft update. Very exciting times!

    Hacking someone's computer to patch their game from the vulnerability that gave you access to their computer is on another level.
  • @drcraby356
    0x22 may be a Nerds Inc. member and a known hacker, but what he did is legendary. Litterally hacking peoples PC just to install a patch before actually malicious hackers got to them
  • @UndeadPlayer1
    Imagine just getting hacked and your like "oh frick, I'm probably installing a virus now", and then the hacker installs virus protection instead. 0x22 is truly a legend.
  • @WanderingGarden
    Every time we get these videos I'm just like "How is Redstoner involved this time?"
  • Everyone always talks about how much fit says "the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft" but nobody talks about how much he says "lets get started"
  • @ItzOwo
    Imagine getting hacked, to realise the hacker is helping you. What a legend man!
  • @svijj_
    As a person that's loner who only plays singleplayer, this went over my radar completely. At least I wasn't hacked I guess
  • @PBStriker101
    0x22 is really an interesting character. Kind of like an anti-hero. He is someone that takes part on very interesting hacking elements and actively works for whoever he wishes. But actually has some kind of work ethic and pulls power move to even protect people from genuinely evil people. To be honest? I think he is the most gifted programmer i ever heard of. He is so passionate of his work and talent that he has developed a new appreciation for the digital world. To the point of having restraint to not do an actual harm to other people.
  • @alikreed1154
    Those people who tried to keep others safe are heros
  • @alipali
    0x22 is the literal definition of "chaotic good" - doing greater good in a totally unorthodox way. Props to them.
  • @saiarjunk4371
    As a cybersecurity guy this was devastating and a little fun to try and discover workarounds before the bad guys so as to patch them.
  • @CeruleanDerpo
    When Herobrine becomes less scary than some 2b2t players
  • Fun fact, this was also in some Nasa rovers so technically you could have hacked into a space rover if you got there before nasa did
  • @Chyaman11
    I thought this title was gonna be clickbait but it’s damn near an understatement
  • @Cheesecake770
    Massive Respect for ox22 and Rebane for being such a good homie 👌
  • @haxalicious
    The other reason 2b2t was shut down was because the exploit ALSO worked server-side. Meaning anyone could backdoor the server with it. Not just the Minecraft server instance, but the actual dedicated box it runs on. They could crash it, delete the world data, and who knows what else. If the backups are on the same server, they could even take it down permanently.
  • That man who "hacked" people to save them is a fricking legend, mad respect for that guy
  • 0x22 and Rebane are both legends. Without them, who knows how many more victims there could have been to this hack. They need some sort of recognition or something, because they're noble as hell.
  • @last9up
    Dude I started watching your videos since 2b2t started blowing up and saw your channel grow. I'm so freaking glad you are doing so well. Haven't had time to watch now, but happy to see you succeed.
