Hackers Are Finding New Ways to Hide Malware in DNS Records

Unless I'm missing something here... The attacker needs to be running some sort of executable in your network with permissions to:

  • dig the records and assemble the strings
  • write the decoded result to a file
  • make that file executable
  • execute that file

You've got bigger problems than hexadecimal txt records in this scenario...

The only difference between this and a GitHub gist appears to be that security software doesn't scan traffic in port 53... It easily could be configured for that though surely... It's just UDP traffic like any other.

Someone tell me what I'm missing!

Hey, the A.I said it not me.

I suppose in reality it's the average of people who post pictures online and are willing to display it publicly, and probably weighted slightly by how many pictures of a person are uploaded (e.g. if someone has uploaded tens of thousands of pics of themselves - a celebrity or whatever - they will throw the average slightly towards their own face). Assuming the sample set is something like: all of social media photos of a person's face.

The extent of my social abilities rn

Typically if someone asks me a very off key question like this, I assume it's because they want to be asked that question in order to start a conversation they have in mind. So I would usually give some answer: "I'm really enjoying baking bread right now, so I suppose flour."

Then ask "what about you?" Which is usually when the really interesting and often much more off key conversation starts. If not, I can start talking about baking bread, so it's win/win for me!
