>>60350329
if only microsoft separated security updates from "content" updates (read: bloatware) for consumers, not just enterprises

haha that would be crazy though how silly

>>60350329
They should give Arch Linux a try. You get addicted to always having your system up-to-date so you can't help but running (sudo) pacman -Syu multiple times a day. In fact, I'm going to do it right now...

um, I'm running Windows 7 and am not really very up to date with all the patches. How do I know if I've been hacked?

not a joke btw

>>60350405
Consumers should be treated as retards by default and they do nothing but proving this philosophy right. The best thing that Microsoft has ever done regarding security is making updates mandatory on Windows 10 Home, so stupid people can't disable them just because they're annoying and then get pwned and blame Microsoft for their incompetence.

If you consider yourself a pro user, you should get the Pro version, which let you be as retarded as you wish with regarding updates.

Im from Argentina, all the pc from me work have been affected by this virus.

>>60350227
i wanna get infected. Im on windows 10 any help?

yes, but eternalblue means now EVERYONE GETS IT

I feel bad for innocent people affected by this

on the other hand...this may be a necessary learning experience so I'm kinda happy it happened.

Would be much cooler if it was just like an annoying thing telling normies to learn some security or something instead of just ransomware

Will I be forced to install Windows 10 if I re-enable Windows updates? Or did MS finally lay off that shit?

If one computer on a LAN is infected it's capable of using window's built in networking home-groups shit to spread to the other computers on the LAN. To spread from the internet to a computer it has to either bypass the NAT firewall or be installed through an exploit(in this case email)

>>60351065
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 are vulnerable.

Vista and newer had a patch released in March that fixed the issue, so if you're up to date you're fine.

XP is insecure but that's just a given. Also, it's possible that earlier Windows versions (ie 2000) are at risk.

That's one way. Read up on EternalBlue. Then realize the current patch may have not been enough. There was an exploit against a database (can't remember which) recently that got patched and almost immediately the attackers found a work around. If I remember correctly, the devs were virtually fighting blow for blow for a few days trying to stop whoever was using this zero day.

They re-issue the telemetry updates periodically. The version number gets a bump so that they show up again even if you've blacklisted them. You have to re-check for those every time you update if you want to keep them out. Yes, of course its deliberate.

Microsoft its the only one to blame.
It has the most tech illiterate userbase -memes aside-, they don't teach their users how their OS works, hence most of them have no idea about their updates or what build are their running.

Ask any normie what windows versions are them running and they will reply with "uhm, i think it is the lastest one".

Sure, macOS has a retarded userbase but at least they try to know their OS in the attempt of looking tech savy and trying to justify a +$2k device.

Goverment agencies, hospitals and pretty much any workplace runs outdated versions of windows, or just plain release date builds. These places are vulnerable since every place will most likely disable any kind of update to prevent then from messing with their servers or just creating an unestable enviroment, if the computers works fine with W7 they will leave them running that for all the device service time.

Then you have users killing their updates because of the move that MS trying to do with windows 10. Most of those users are running a 2 years outdated W7 just because of Microsoft's fault.

Sure, most of the users don't have to give a shit about their patches and they will blame people for launching updates or patches now and then. However this is just an example of what happens when a customer has not understanding about their OS and the enviroment they are working on.

If you have a Windows machine at your workplace just backup your files and wait for some retard to infect all the machines.

If you have one at your place -again, memes aside. Not gonna argue about your device choices- pull the plug out of it a couple of days. We don't know if those hackers are modifying the code to make it cover another vulneability right now.

The only think I know -or at least i suppose- is that you don't want to wake up and stare at your windows computer blocked because the ransomware was modified.

Just sit down and enjoy the show. Maybe give your parents a call and tell them not to touch their MS laptop for a couple of days if you want to be nice, if they get infected you will -most likely- have to clean the mess anyway.

Well from the worm part of it they are. I believe it cannot pass through a firewall that blocks all incoming traffic.

Ah, the good old case of enterprises and their "muh backwards compat".
Believe me, nobody at MS likes SMB1. I read their salty tweets every day.
Hackers like SMB1, and enterprises with faxes in their AD like SMB1.

If you're a Windows admin, this is the bare minimum you should be aware of.
https://adsecurity.org/?p=3299
In here is also the topic of MS17-010: SMB1.

>The PowerShell command can disable SMB v1:

Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableSMB1Protocol $false

So, to give my opinion, this is nothing fucking new. Oh wow, SMB1 was insecure, like anyone wasn't aware. Now us Windows admins finally have a good reason to go to our executives and tell them our stupid printers scanning to SMB shares with SMB1 are a direct security risk.
It's the exploit we've all been waiting for. The exploit that will make us replace Server 2003, our fax machines, our old share-scanning printers.

The project lead at MS for SMB and other MS storage stuff tweets (shitposts) daily about SMB1 and why you're pretty stupid for at least not AUDITING your SMB traffic.

The funniest part of all this is that the IT monkeys who failed to update the systems for months and let them get hacked will be hailed as the heroes for running some malware removal tool.

>>60351893
No. This is a post-exploitation exploit. It makes it easier to pwn the rest of the network when one machine has been compromised.

>>60351961
Yeah, I classified it as a mess because you will have to got to your parents place, do a clean install, hear them talking about computers being scared and other tech conspirancies.

Having them to tell you their computers is working weird on a paranoia syndrome, reinstalling all their programs, trying to recover all their documents and else.

The best part of all this is that you will catch some good deals from places like best buy and such if they get their network infected since they will think the computers are unusable and wasted.

If Microsoft had balls, they announce free upgrade to Windows 10 again except this time they include pirated versions of all Windows versions around the world to be included in the upgrade instead of only official versions.

Man, conficker was a total fucking bitch back in 2008, considering how many more machines are connected to the internet/clusters I can't imagine how much this must suck

One of the biggest problems with Windows is the inability to return to state when it restarts from an update.

I am aware that it might not always be possible, especially with large updates like feature updates, but if they could make it so that all the user applications open effectively hibernate when it goes to do a update restart and are restored on login then it would go a long way toward people not caring about automatic updates.

Then there's that full screen focus stealing updates available notification which opens Windows Update when closed. There's already a notification system available guys. Use it.

>>60353530
Windows Update updates itself before searching for updates. It isn't delivered as an update.

That's part of the problem, another part of the problem is often Windows Defender working hard to scan everything that Windows Update is working with which slows WIndows Update down.

Another part is just how Windows Update goes about searching for updates. You think it would just have an index list of updates installed and download a list of updates from the server then compare, but it must go through verifying all the currently installed updates as well which takes a fuck load of time.

This is a false flag created by Microsoft meant to get people to upgrade to windows 10.

or is there more to it than eternalblue

Unless you have windows update turned on and set to automatic updates, which is the default.

If it blows out anybody, it's the special snowflakes who have it turned off or have delayed it for months at a time. This is what you deserve.

How can you prove a negative?

Who will be the first security service to find the Spanish scriptkiddie?

>>60353765
sp3 + posready 2009 patches

Everything seems fine

>>60353708
They can use pos registry trick to get updates.

>>60350405
They do, you just have to manually download them from the online update catalog.

>>60353823
>and set to automatic updates
Or if you have updated manually within the past two months.

STFU and eat from your bowl of lard, stupid cunt.

Microsoft has been neglecting SMB1 since 2006 with the release of Vista.
Retarded printers scanning to SMB shares with SMB1.
Companies rely on said printers and other junk.
SMB1 is therefore crucial to their infrastructure and is not turned off on their file shares. MS can therefore not turn off SMB1 for newer versions of Windows.

>>60353634
Oh, SMB1 is present on your Windows 10 machine, boy. If you havn't updated since February, you can get pwned by this exploit too.

>>60353657
Have an adblocker, don't browse dodgy sites, don't click on links in emails. Disable SMB1 in control panel.
You are now safe.

>>60353679
Not the one fixed in MS17-010. Another one exists for XP which is, of course, unpatched for 99% of the world who does not have $500 million. https://github.com/misterch0c/shadowbroker

>>60353765
>What should I do?
Nothing much. Turn on your firewall and block TCP 445 in and out. Hope for the best.
>How does that thing infect and what do I have to do to prevent it?
It uses poisonous SMB messages to execute code on remote systems. If you have your firewall turned on and you're behind NAT, you're safe. Of course, that's the infosec part of it. Screw up your opsec by clicking links in emails and nothing will save you.

>>60352417
You can still do the free upgrade

>>60354035
>Microsoft has been neglecting SMB1 since 2006 with the release of Vista.
why didn't they keep bolting on features like they usually do with everything else?

>>60354035
>Disable SMB1 in control panel.
I have win 7 and there is nothing like that in control panel. Wat do?

>>60354122
You didn't even entertain the idea of trying google before whinging about it here, did you

>>60354122

Despair. Possibly loss.

Let me get this straight:
>Microsoft rolls out updates that nags the user with "get Windows 10" pop-ups
>users get annoyed and disable updates
>NSA/CIA developed 0day gets leaked, effects computers Windows
>skid creates ransomware using those 0days
>ransomware spreads extremely fast
>users, businesses, and government networks get hit
>Microsoft's reputation of Windows being insecure as shit continues

is this true?

>>60354035
Extreme computer illiterate here, i opened the powershell as admninistrator and copypasted this command:

>Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters" SMB1 -Type DWORD -Value 0 -Force

After that i hit enter but no message showed up afterwards, is that how it works?

>>60354262
it changes the registry, you can go check it yourself
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Paramters
find SMB1 and it should be 0

also, do the SMB client disable as well

sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= disabled

>>60354122
Apologies, did not check if the same checkmark exists in Windows 7.
Found another article for you: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2696547/how-to-enable-and-disable-smbv1,-smbv2,-and-smbv3-in-windows-vista,-windows-server-2008,-windows-7,-windows-server-2008-r2,-windows-8,-and-windows-server-2012

>To disable SMBv1 on the SMB server, run the following cmdlet:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters" SMB1 -Type DWORD -Value 0 -Force -Verbose

>>60354247
Yep, sounds like /g/.
The rest of the world are secure, though.

>>60354262
>After that i hit enter but no message showed up afterwards, is that how it works?
yep. errors only pop if it didn't work and status messages are only shown if you put -Verbose at the end.

>>60354421
Another good article

>>60354421
Thank you very much, anon. I asked you directly because youre smart and trying to help!

I just checked that registry path and i dont have a registry entry: SMB1

I have a heavily modified services. Can it be that i uninstalled/disabled this already so it doesnt appear in registry?

>>60352481
Free forever and here is the best part: it's still free. Just download that tool from their website, the one that lets you create a USB installation of windows 10 and install through that, that's it.

If I get this virus and just restore from a restore point I made last week will I be ok?

>>60354247
It's not a zero day, everything else is probably true. Which makes all this even more pathetic.

>>60354379
>it changes the registry, you can go check it yourself
I tried editing the registry first but i saw there was no smb1 in there, and now there is one, so i guess it worked, thanks.

>also, do the SMB client disable as well
So i just need to copy paste those comands into the powershell and they will work? Sorry if i sound stupid.

Windows7 user by the way, if that changes anything.

>>60354421
Thanks, my biggest mistake in life was not doing a computer related major in college. I will start learning soon.

>>60354658
open cmd as admin and copy them
I don't know if it's needed since this seems to be a server exploit, but fuck it, you don't need that deprecated piece of shit anyways

>>60354497
Just tested on a Windows 7 machine, it worked.
Make sure you open Powershell as administrator.

>>60354595
Oh hell yeah nigga it's a zero day. Who knows how long NSA has held onto this.
True, every piece of malware using this exploit after march are no zero days, but NSA has surely used this before it got patched.

>>60354658
yeah just paste those into an administrator prompt (powershell or cmd) and you're good to go.

>>60354700
It's part of the vulnerability, so the client configuration should also be disabled. Prevents the peer-to-peer spreading.

>>60353417
They really do that? Someone could take down networks of government computer and establish a militia rule.
