I run Linux myself but even on windows… if you have qbittorrent 5.1.2+ (not sure in earlier versions; had to open an old vm image to confirm it went back this far)
then anyone who only pirates videos/music could just set qbittorrent > downloads > excluded file names to have
*.exeon one of the lines and avoid this easily.people who do pirate games/software could probably still add something like these to the same setting without disrupting their game/sw dls and still avoid 90+% of these kind of attacks:
*.avi.exe *.mp3.exe *.mp4.exe *.mkv.exe *dvdrip*.exe *webrip*.exe *web.dl*.exe *web-dl*.exe *bluray*.exe *1080p*.exe *720p*.exe *480p*.exe *x264*.exe *x265*.exe *hvec*.exe *av1*.exe *imax*.exe *aac5.1*.exe *hdtv*.exe *amzn*.exe *hulu*.exe *yify*.exe *yts*.exe *eztv*.exeonly spot it might need some fine tuning that i can think of is if you have the occasional fitgirl pack that has optional stuff for 720 vs 1080 videos as a selective download… and you should really be looking at those when you download anyway
Jokes on them. I run a Linux distro.
The Wine configuration in /home/user/.wine is being updated, please wait…
you run
chmod +x ...in your movie download folder? ;-)I assumed wine needed the flag, not the exe file, as the program being executed is wine.
The.Odyssey.full.bluray.rip.avi.exe
Old tricks still work
Edit - Oh shit that’s exactly what they did.
The most popular initial executable was distributed through torrent trackers under many different names (for example,
the odyssey (2026) [1080p] [webrip] [5.1].exe),A big part of why this works, I think, is because windows hides extensions by default.
