lol funny story. I downloaded all of the github.com links ripped from the blackarch main page (~8GB worth of repositories) ANYWAYS I wanted to see the pictures...............start with the fun stuff first, right? So I went: `find -type f -name '*.png' -o -name '*.jpg' -exec cp -f '{}' $SOME_DIR \;` hehe then I was like OMG what am I doing when I saw a image name called: Something like this: Parser < 7.png WHOA. my heart raced. And I was like "I'm not ready for this." So then I started imagining all of the stuff in those 1000+ PNG/JPG files that I want to view with ristretto image viewer. .....and I was like: No way. No freakin' way. I deleted all of the image files and then all of the cloned github.com repositories. NOT worth viewing. I don't care if `file myfile.png` says "PNG file" lol On Mon, Jun 20, 2022 at 4:11 PM Sebastian Rose <sebastian_r...@gmx.de> wrote: > Davide Prina <davide.pr...@null.net> writes: > > Corey H wrote: > > > >> how do you guys test all of the potential PNG/JPG potential malware > payloads > > What's your use-case?
