you will be if you're using software with publicly available and indexed unpatched security holes

>>57809059
i.e. using firefox 20 because you like how it looks rather than 50. thousands of security vulnerabilities had been found and patched from 20-50. browsers get frequent security patches as holes are found. the other most important piece of software to keep patched would be a web server.

>>57809039
wtf? do not understand how security patches work?

All software has vulnerabilities, by design or implementation. They're just not discovered yet.

>>57809317
This. Since all software have vulnerabilities there's no point in updating.

I'm running the latest and my firefox looks good enough.

Look up Danoct1. Unpatched OSes are dangerous news.

Just imagine if Google still had the version of Bash with shellshock on it. Or if they didn't patch dirtycow. Would you feel safe putting your password in their systems?

And unfortunately, there are more and more permission escalation exploits happening every single day

Both of those are memes.

By the same logic opening another cmd in cmd is also an exploit. All forkbombs are also "exploits".

Calling these bugs exploits is fucking stupid and always has been. DirtyCow was largely just unpatched bugs when it was discovered. Nearly all of them require full admin access too to cause any real problem.

Unfortunately a while ago journalists realized they could get media attention by announcing the new big super virus is this, it's super scary and it'll destroy everything.

You do the slightest bit of research on them and 9 times out of 10 it's a bug that's been filed as a CVE for memes.

Every dumbass security analyst/tech journalist is just short of saying "Check out this new exploit, open your browser and type in C:\ .. you won't believe how easy it is to get into your system"

Soon enough people will be saying "rm -r f /" is an exploit. In fact that massive twat Tom Scott basically said as much when he covered shellshock

If the exploit doesn't circumvent security it isn't an exploit frankly. It's just a normal fucking bug

>>57810851
Shellshock and dirtycow were only examples. I'm not familiar with any Microsoft exploits, and yes, I do mean exploits.

Exploits, by definition, is "a piece of software, a chunk of data, or a sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug or vulnerability in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior to occur on computer software." Both dirtycow and Shellshock follow this definition word for word

But that's beside the point. Because you're lazy, I'll Google the video I was thinking about

That virus uses an exploit to get admin level privileges. That virus is for shits and giggles, but the concept is the same. It could be doing something a lot more damaging

something about her. idk what it is. but god damn I want to fuck her more than any other girl in existence.
