What happened? I always knew there were bots on omegle but holy fuck.
I suspect it was an XSS attack or something to do with javascript.
Whats your guys take on it?
Christian Ortiz
It's just an xss most likely He won't have a keylogger or anything but it should show you that you need to enable firstparty.isolate and run Firefox inside a sandbox.
If you are using anything based on Chromium it's your own fault.
If he really has a keylogger you can just look up processes. I doubt you run your browser as root.
Nathaniel Hall
I was using firefox. But how did he know what exact youtube video i was watching?
And he crashed my computer

James Nelson
yeah no, something doesn't add up here. You use i3/xorg but describe the event like a techno-simpleton that doesn't understand the concept of a sandbox.
Charles Allen
he guessed the youtube video
Dominic Sanchez
Nah.
Ethan Hernandez
My computer froze, i couldn't do fuck all. So i tried to quit i3 all together and it worked and got into the tty
Jordan Sullivan
>omegle what year is it? anyway, your fault
Mason Nguyen
not real and not straight
Charles Brown
Whatever, probably an omegle admin fucking with me.
Fuck javascript, nigger
Christian Evans
If someone breaks the sandbox before the hundreds of nsa/cia/china/russia losers, they could take accounts and things with actual value, not fucking with some people on omegle. Keylogger is very unlikely, and even if it was ratted, why not just wipe the drive?
James Anderson
If this was a real attack then they likely would have done it using a service worker. They can still run even when you exit a website. But I highly doubt that the process could escalate privileges or anything.
Jackson Gonzalez
I don't know but i heard keyloggers are hard to detect
Like when im on debian, i don't install anything besides using debians repos. I never got a virus or trojan or anything when i used gnu/linux.
I know for a fact it has something to do with networking, javascript or xss. I didn't even bother to open htop or look at anything, just threw away my laptop cause he spooked me with the fact that he knew what video i was watching on youtube.
What happened was you made up a story about hacking despite being computer illiterate. Try making something up about sucking dicks for nickels so you can base it in reality.
Noah Fisher
Nah there's incel hackers who take it out on you because they're spergs irl. You can tell how try hard they are from their choice of edgy profile pics.
Nicholas Gonzalez
I know what you are trying to do. Omegle is a bot infested, vunlerble site.
I never had problems with it until that incident. I'm not computer illiterate. What really spooked me out was my laptop froze and i couldn't do shit so i had to exit out into tty.
Lincoln Bailey
Bruh, use Qubes OS if you Ike to talk a lot of shit. I ended up getting some nigger to hire a barrage of darknet goons to stalk everything I do.
Dominic Rogers
Shit man, this is why i never ever used tor. Virtual machines are very useful To combat malware but my laptop had shitty specs so i didn't do anything big on it.
Gavin Fisher
either this didn't happen or you were a dumbass, clicked on a link, and left it out of the story so we didn't think you were a dumbass
Bentley Jenkins
He's you
Austin Fisher
I didn't click on any links. Idk why you niggers think im tech illterate.
Are you telling me its not possible to get hacked through omegle text chat? Are you seriously implying that? It doesn't happen often to people but i was a target. I avoid javascript like the plague it is.
I think Jow Forums had malicious js in the past right?
Benjamin Wood
probably think you're a dumbass cause you type like an autist and the story sounds so retarded that you'd believe only a 13 year old would do such boring shit
Eli Bailey

omegle exposes your IP address. if you were hacked it's because you're running an insecure stack. exploitable firewall or OS.
Dylan Davis
i wasn't using a firewall at all actually. I didn't install ufw. Theres my problem.
Thanks user. Still confused on how there are ways that a person can see an IP on text chat.

Stop being rude to random people and maybe they won't hack your hobbyist OS.

To be fair, i had no firewall

Jump into Omegle with me and I’ll show you, just have to download this little tool called team viewer first and enable remote access and I’ll show ya anything ya want
>debian Kek. What the fuck? Are you using old-as-fuck stable? The only way to know what truly happened is you fire up that machine again instead of asking us like we're some psychic. Just unplug the network card and see what happens or if you're smart you can plug that hard drive on some other machine to investigate. You know you can check your home folder first and arrange files by date creation or modified and see what is there. But honestly it could be just some clever firefox hole a skid got from a chink hacker site. Anyway you got owned and you should be happy you can brag that shit when you drink at the bar with the trannies

if it's true then you should have asked him.
Gabriel Young
maybe he managed to upgrade the text chat to video and he heard what was playing...or maybe you're underage.
Lucas Cooper
You (OP, I assume) are lying. The events described are completely absurd. This thread does not even belong on /x/.
