FlashFire! VIRAND OFFLINE:FLASHPLAYER IS INTERNET OFFSWITCH

Since shortly before the beginning of the year, there has been a battle with Flashplayer.
We have lost!
All VIRAND internet compatible connections have snapped off.
All associated online Windows machines and networks have been wiped out.
(Specifically after a second video card explosion in a short amount of time!)

Background:
4 or 5 months ago, S.YTIMG.COM was found to be trying to access hard drives
and cameras (nonfunctional), Or more specifically Flashplayer has been
trying to send all accessible data to GOOGLE.

Since April began, Flashplayer had been breaking and entering internet gateways
that were fully blocking everything but specific URLs, however, without scripts
enabled, Flashplayer had been attempting to install on everything at a rate of
once per minute. That was first caught when an embedded power control system
overheated when it was slowed down by Flashplayer's attempt to install itself
every minute. For this reason, Flashplayer has been dubbed the FLASH FIRE VIRUS.
It has been able to jump to wireless devices in range. The power system which
overheated was stuffed with Flashplayer and apparently encrypted copies of
Flashplayer. Automatic rapid deletion and rejection of Flashplayer resulted in an
escalation where Flashplayer write protected itself against deletion even against
superuser, and has apparently been observed jumping to cell phones and Toyotas
and interfering with all other microwave wireless devices. Some of this may be
an unintended consequence of a verified plan for Flashplayer to transmit all
accessible data to GOOGLE (formerly and perhaps still via S.YTIMG.COM).

I myself have in the recent past agreed to not blame the usual suspects for
malware. However, FLASHPLAYER infects LINUX with the help of all popular
browsers (verified for MOZILLA and FIREFOX). It installs hidden files, and since
I have not been able to disassemble and reverse engineer most of what has
been affected, it is reasonable to conclude that Flashplayer can induce a Cellphone
(perhaps by interference) to crash a Toyota. The communication or interference
I have personally witnessed, except for the theory that correlation does not
imply causation, the correlation being absolute makes me disagree.

One cannot argue with a clean, private Linux installation, even when it is a VM
with only a Browser, being intrusively invaded by Flashplayer installation upon
a connection to the internet, a new phenomenon, which is easily observed as
a very fast system slowing down while a blocked connection is made. There is
no justification for automatic installation on Linux which is private, non-EULA-bound,
especially where most installations are manual. There is no justification for the
appearance of the file LIBFLASHPLAYER.SO , which responds to superuser deletion
with "Write Protected".

I have "caught" an illegal invasion/intrusion of Flashplayer installation.
Prior to that, I have found out that VIRAND has received a ridiculous and
stupid email which mentions an "investigation" and "detective work" and
then goes on to ask for specific information about certain "strange inventions"
with "weird names" whose names, descriptions, videos of what they do, and
schematics appear on the only pages where those inventions are mentioned,
yet those answers are ALL of the answers to the questions asked by this
stupid "detective/investigator" about those inventions. What idiot would
go to a website with a strange invention, and what it does, and pictures
and videos of it working, and schematics, and then Pretend to be a student
from a non-existent school with a non-existent name, mention "detective investigation"
and then ask questions that are answered on the very same page as the
inventions are named? Also curious is how VIRAND was contacted, and
whose name was used to be asked questions to, when the name to whom
this bogus letter was addressed is not even on the pages describing the inventions.

But this issue is not about the wiretapping and archiving of all internet
communications, but rather tresspassing on private virtual property and
vandalism or sabotage. FLASHPLAYER is the weapon by which such sabotage
occurred, and with incredulity (disbelief in the evidence) some resistance such as
dismissing the data without even looking as "a conpiracy theory" (use of that phrase
is a clear indication of brainwashing and inability to see and accept the evidence).
However, as soon as that perceptual levy was breached, clearly the danger was
recognized by some of the best "white-hat hackers" and a solution to the massive
and overwhelming infestation of FLASHPLAYER was found. This solution requires a
thorough cleaning out of surviving LINUX systems and careful rebuilds. FLASHPLAYER
is all over Windows, since to use Windows, you must AGREE to accept viruses and
damage, but VIRAND has zero tolerance for that and is in total defense and quarantine
mode, all is unplugged with Flashplayer until it is isolated and cleaned, and everything
is TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. This seems to be a bilateral test. FLASHPLAYER has
devastated a LINUX and EMBEDDED network, which is now aware that it is vulnerable
to such an attack.

VIRAND sensitivity to viruses is probably greater than HDCP (which blows up computers
and HDTVs that sense the possibility of being modded for copying). VIRAND has zero
malware tolerance. Especially if FLASHPLAYER can read I/O ports connected to machine
controllers, expecting to find "secrets" in motors, when accessing the motor itself activates
it, and from there you can see...

The relationship between using a cellphone on an airplane and using one in a Toyota
with a fly-by-wire system on the same frequency bands. BOTH VERY DANGEROUS,
especially since infected cellphones (or illegally wiretapped ones) are turning themselves
on and off (observed!).

The removal of FLASHPLAYER from a single machine has had a peculiar effect on the site
which originally infected the VIRAND internet gateways with Flashplayer. Apparently, the
site sent some kind of error memory dump to VIRAND upon the following connection via
the browser, although it quickly recovered and its normal content followed the error dump.

FLASHPLAYER is an airborne (wifi), cross-platform (Windows/Linux/etc.) dangerous all-searching
invasive spyware, which makes the SONY Rootkit look tame. Information about what it is doing
is not coming from me alone. Trust in Proprietary Software is misplaced. ADOBE and GOOGLE
are (even if they aren't aware of it) responsible for FLASHPLAYER (The FlashFire Supervirus).

There has been some speculation about the meaning of FLASH SHOCKWAVE, which can be
compared to the meaning of MANHATTAN PROJECT and GROUND ZERO. Indeed, why would
the word FLASH (or SHOCKWAVE) be used at all for something which neither flashes nor is
shocking (SHOCK and AWE???). Why would FLASH MEMORY be so named? It is merely a lower
quality version of EEPROM which has been made not only updatable, but enables a virus
infection to Write-Protect itself permanently on the chip. VIRAND must dispose of any
Flash memories that have Flashplayer on them. Neither technology "flashes". It is an easily
ignorable confusion to a technological lay person, to use their spyware infested digital
camera to take a Flash picture on Flash memory and upload it to a Flash video website
such as Youtube! <======== !!!

These are the list of known "evil sources of dangerous FLASHPLAYER" (Flash Fire Virus, so
named because it has actually (allegedly and potentially) caused FIRES!

#1.ADOBE and GOOGLE
#2.All popular browsers and hardware filters (forget software filters) which do PERMIT, won't block, the intrusion.
#3.YOUTUBE
#4.FACEBOOK
#5.ISPs which provide INTERNET ACCESS and WEBMAIL (all popular ones)
#6.all other simple social networks for the technologically ignorant

Software filters: Flashblock? Are you kidding? Why add code instead of remove the back door code?

The idiocracy of the new decade dystopia has reversed the exclusion policy of the internet(*)
with a ridiculous information-sucking policy by which all VIRAND's "gateways" were snapped off
by not recognizing the intrusion, thus implying the STUPID QUESTIONS EMAILS to be a result of
loss of access to the information, as one person said, instead of going through an open door,
they smashed down a wall and it caved in upon themselves (VERY HUMOROUS APE WORK!).

(*)Exclusion policy of the internet: VIRAND has lost many connections in the past due to secret
changes in data formats, with which it cannot comply due to Proprietary replacements. For example,
VIRAND may be excluded from Youtube in the future without FLASHPLAYER and H.264 specifications,
if Youtube does not fully comply with HTML5 OGG THEORA format. VIRAND does not plan obsolescence
of ANYTHING, so this isolation is bilateral, and all of VIRAND's communication protocols are still working
on VIRAND's Intranets. Recent changes in email have caused problems with email, although there
are still some workarounds holding up. With the entire internet infested with malware, it is a wonder
that it has worked at all since 2005, and for something which (as ARPANET) is described as being
designed to withstand EMPs, I have my doubts, because how is virus-infected silicon more
EMP-proof than ye olde 1850's telegraph system?

VIRAND cannot even use its own internet connections now, and has considered falling back on its
remaining (and vast and durable) ancient technology. (*)
VIRAND's INTERNET HAS BEEN SHUT OFF ... BY FLASHPLAYER.

Got CB?
Got 100 year old, non-electronic, voice powered telephones?
Got Tube Radio?
^Ideas for the rest of you who need communication,
because the Cell Phones here are having technical difficulties also.

As to how VIRAND communicates, what was invented in 1985 is still not yet named, and may not be
rediscovered until 2040, assuming I am actually just having a delusion and the sky has not BSoD'd
here today. (Or was it yesterday... Iceland blew up, A fireball fell from the sky, and China had an earthquake.)
It's the end of the online world as I know it, and that's just the way it goes, I guess.

The OS unrelated to LINUX is absolutely FLASHPLAYER infested wherever it is online,
but FLASHFLAYER is the biggest LINUX malware nuisance ever, getting acceleratingly worse since version 7.
VIRAND doesn't rely on any OS, so why even bother fixing them?

Be back if and when these things ever work again.

INVESTIGATE FLASHPLAYER INTRUSION OF LINUX, (please?)
Hidden Files which install upon successful invasion of a computer:
-Adobe (folder)
-Macromedia (Folder)
-YTIMG.COM (Folder, also URL of S.YTIMG.COM, where Flashplayer continuously uploads your data to GOOGLE, Verified.
-libflashplayer.so (Write protected against superuser, cannot be removed without reinstalling OS, hard to prevent)
Or ... lets just Fiddle around and watch the awesome/awful "FlashFire Shockwave" ring in the new Dark Age..

Frequency of attack on this LINUX terminal has exceeded once per minute, to attempt Flash installation.

The "raving quality" (or apparent insanity) of this post reflects only the amount of lost sleep over the past month
in trying to Kill the FLASHPLAYER infestation of VIRAND. The policy is... everything STAYS OFFLINE until its CLEAN.

    While I do like to keep my system as clean as possible by installing only the bare minimum of software, and I wish there was a way to stop the constant requests by windows to install some "updates" (Flashplayer and itunes being the most persistent ones), I have to agree with BradC's comment. Your rant does seem to be a bit over the top. If the situation is really that bad you should collect as much evidence as possible and complain to the authorities.

    VIRAND,

    I have gone back and read a bunch of your posts and I am confused as to why I seem to be the only one questioning your sanity. However, I will bite.......only since the weather is bad and my SparkFun order is not here yet.

    Some questions for you:

    Are you serious ? You really believe that "Flashplayer can induce a Cellphone
    (perhaps by interference) to crash a Toyota."

    If you are serious send me a private message with your contact information and I will give you my military email address. I expect that there is a reasonable explanation for what you are seeing. There is no need for a long thesaurus driven email, just the "facts" in a few bullets and your information. I will take a look at it tonight with some other security people and we can set up a phone call with a Flash expert I know.

    That would be cool! Remotely tap into a system which you have no knowledge of, active motors, graphic cards, cameras, etc. of which you have no knowledge of, destroy all systems that oppose your attempts, and store/steal information that you have no knowledge of needing! The New World Order will be pleased! Toyota obviously didn't give them the Cash Back Rebate they TRULY deserved! And here NASA is investigating cosmic rays.....

    On a serious note, it does sound like VIRAND needs much more sleep.

    Spend some time outdoors. Find some woods or a beach, at least somewhere that you can escape all things manmade. Gaze at the stars. Contemplate the vastness of the universe and your place in it. In a thousand years none of it will matter, yet the stars will still be there.

    I am sorry I am off topic but I don't want to hear about getting sued,

    how to keep it out not only for one minute but forever if I want?
    GOT BUGS? DEBUG! EXTERMINATE! If I wanted bugs like this, I'd use a buggy OS.
    I've seen a lot of other complaints here. The buggy OSes can't even stay in sync with the prop plug.

    Well you didn't get my last post about YTIMG.
    Anyway what I was going to upload is lost, so I'm pulling the plug now.
    Next time I'll try somewhere else, but similar things DO happen elsewhere, and to other people.
    Most people don't know what to do about it. They just throw it in the garbage pail.
    Do people call Norton and get viruses fixed?
    Somebody else who has this exact same Flashplayer problem says Norton doesn't see it.
    The Flashplayer I'm getting is hidden files which I wouldn't even know about if they didn't
    install and run so slowly on an otherwise superfast tiny OS. I'm not even going to Flash
    sites! Again, Linux can see this happening. BuggOS can't, it either works or breaks, and
    goes in the rubbish. That other person lives in Seattle, which is a long way away from NYC,
    and uses BuggOS 98, which still had some tools. I'm even surprised that FLASH has the
    same effects on that as it does on Linux. Look at all Youtube's complains for the
    past 2 years. I am very much not alone. If anyone cared they would even verify things
    in my "rant" happens to other people by looking this stuff up.

    Again I apologize for mentioning this here but like I said I need all the technical help I
    can get on this, and since you don't know about it, I'm informing you, and if you are doubtful,
    look it up. Tell me what is not what it seems to be and what it really is, if you know something
    nobody else does. Like I am doing. Look up everything I say that's doubtful. I can't upload a
    movie of it, as some have suggested.

    If this is such a conspiracy then why hasn't anyone else noticed? I'm going to guess that as a common Linux user you do a lot of command line functions. You also insert your own script and tune the OS to fit your needs, right? I think that you have inflicted this upon yourself through a faulty script or a removal of necessary software. Meanwhile, your long posts like this do nothing but embarrass yourself. If you want technical help, don't include all the conspiracy theories.

    I have no idea what you said.
    If you are offended by something then it is certainly misunderstood by you.
    Likewise I have no clue who Mr. Mainwaring is.
    Likewise I should be offended by the BLITZKRIEG suggested by the name of the offending software.
    When is there ever a flash and a shockwave? Hiroshima maybe?
    And who is "they"? What does "itupem" mean?
    Are you accusing me of something?
    The screenshot is from a netbook with no permanent storage so there is no
    files to share nor music nor anything but browsers ... but I am sure your machine likely has a default "my music" folder also.
    I haven't heard any sounds from it in so long I wonder if it even has the right sound driver.
    If file sharing was being done, well it couldn't be because only ports used by the browser are enabled.
    Somehow the offending software proves me wrong.
    There is barely room left for the offending installation which is hidden files which would not be noticed
    if it wasn't solely responsible for turning one of the fastest Linux into a very slow one.

    And THAT is why nobody else sees this, it is hidden, and also because everyone else expects their
    computer to be slower than molasses in January anyway.

    This thread may seem funny but I still don't get answers about stopping Flashplayer from installing
    hidden files,
    and if I look to you like an idiot then maybe an idiot needs answers to questions
    so an idiot doesn't think he is in the middle of the movie Live Free or Die Hard
    because the idiot is no longer in control of his own machines except when they are unplugged.
    I never said I AGREE to that document which requires giving up all control of machines before using them
    and those who do cannot possibly see this kind of thing happening, like ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE.

    I am now on an old junk computer running another Linux in VM , UBUNTU. (Because new ones break before old ones.)
    I think it may have the same problem, as did other combinations of hardware and software I have tried.

    Oh, and for those of you who may have dirty and ignorant minds, and don't know what ROXFILER is,
    Google is your friend. And my friend. And your enemies' friend.
    If you have any right to judge icon names, I certainly have all the right to judge the actions of malware.

    Question remains... how to prevent stealth installations of flash?
    I am not used to machines doing what they are told not to do, nor automatic installations where manual ones are the norm.

    I admit to not knowing everything and apologize for not knowing the best way to ask a certain technical question
    to technical people on a technical forum if and when the problem might possibly be somehow unrelated to what
    it looks like and what it does. And I can only shrug if the response to "FIRE" is "It Ain't Over Until The Fat Lady Sings".
    That probably makes no sense, but it did to me for a second. I am not used to asking hard questions here, because
    I believe I answer more questions than I ask. Apologies to the moderator "for stepping over a line". I still don't have
    any reason to think the problem is not what it looks like and what it does. I am also not used to questions not being
    answered (nor incorrect statements corrected) because of "oddness". At one point I interpreted something someone
    said here or elsewhere as "shut up. it is true but it is supposed to be a secret". Especially since I had an extremely
    unusual correlated (or simultaneous) event of being hacked off. It is certainly beyond reasonable expectation that
    Parallax would or could do that. As I understand it, the forum form is a client-side app before I submit a response.

    If you are willing to divulge your whereabouts, perhaps someone could point you to a computer repair shop. It is quite possible to be loaded to the gills with viruses, and some require more than your typical virus programs to remove. My father operates a computer repair shop, and at time has to use special programs to remove rootkits, etc.

    I googled several terms to search out your problem.... it seems that some (but few) others have the same problems that you do. Google searh "Linux Adobe flash is Smile" and you should get some hits. The one that sounded most like the problem you are having was with someone using knoppix, which I believe is your Linux, right?

    It is not that no one cares, just that you think that because your computer is acting up you blame adobe and then try to make like it is taking over all the computers and spying on people and other things that sound ridiculous. If you want help with your problem, realize that it is, and ONLY is, YOUR problem. Try installing a different linux set and see how it works.

    Oh, and you said "When is there ever a flash and a shockwave? Hiroshema, maybe?" Well, I'm sure that there were Propellers on the planes that dropped the bombs.

    Sorry,

    VIRAND,

    Please read my previous message. Continued posts about these conspiracy theories in regards to computer hardware and software will result in your login being disabled rather than the thread. Everything you describe is symptoms of a PC infected with a backdoor trojan or similar. You need a competent computer repair shop and these forums are not it. Now please, take it to the appropriate venue.

    VIRAND,

    Please read my previous message.

    Maybe it would be appropriate for the moderators to lock the thread(s)?

    Virand, There was no malice in my post, i'm surprised you saw such depth in it, UK visitors to this forum will understand the joke, google "Dad's Army" especially Corporal Jack Jones or click on the link below

    John, you're right. We stopped doing that some time ago but I think this case warrants it. Thread locked.
