WannaCry: Platinium
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=18249
No maintainers yet. Any volunteers?
WannaCry is believed to use the EternalBlue exploit, which was developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA)to attack computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Hehe
now im really tempted to try it, we have a decryptor now dont we?
inb4 decryptor: borked
What works
Encryption - Yes
GUI - Yes
What does not
SMB & Network replication does not always work, may require SMB network patch.
See: Misc Things to configure (Samba Shares)
Some Font rendering issues.
What was not tested
Decryption
Ransom Payment
Uh oh. And giving it "platinum" even though some stuff doesn't work and basic features weren't tested is bullshit. I demand a retraction!
I'm not clicking that link
Why? You don't wanna know how well WannaCry runs via Wine? The site is perfectly harmless.
Sounds like something someone trying to put WannaCry on my computer would say...
It's just an entry in Wine's AppDB, where they keep track of how well apps run on wine. Like ProtonDB, but for general applications.
Whole bunch of people trying to get me to click this sus link...
You're never gonna do it.

It's just to WineHQ's AppDb, it just describes how well stuff works with Wine. It's similar to the newer ProtonDB. Someone tested the WannaCry/WannaCrypt malware with Wine for the hell of it.
Virus running in wine: "WTF is this place. It's familiar, but it's all wrong!"
Why does your admin account look like a scrotum?
Yours doesnβt?
Maybe because scratching an itch there is generally seen as a bad move if you don't know what you're doing.

... and yet some of the same people will readily copy-paste random shell scripts into their terminal without fully understanding them.
But a forum post said it would fix my issue.
I feel like there's some truth to this!
If the posted answer was in a moderately active thread, you can generally assume it's correct if there are no contradictory replies.
If the thread has been dead a few weeks, they could edit their post. Or if it pulls a objects, those objects could change.

There's some people in all of us

Someone did something similar to this with a fake brew package manager page. They paid Google to put it on the front page.

Wine automatically running:
A friend of mine once downloaded something malicious to his Linux machine and wasn't worried about it. Then some time later, while browsing his files from a Windows machine, saw it and was like, "hey, what's this?" Oops.
He's a tech savvy guy, so I'm guessing the fact he had downloaded it himself really let his guard down.
That's why you don't store your stool samples in the same fridge as your chocolate pudding. Malware goes into the vault.
That's another reason not to dual boot. Ditch Windows.
Modern viruses check the os before deciding which type of file to send your way.
This is why you use a user agent switcher to lie about being windows. It's a form of anti malware!
Except websites can tell what base OS you run using browser fingerprinting. It os impossible to lie aboit your OS because of the differences in platforms.
You can lie about your fingerprint very much in fact it is the default on librewolf
You can lie, but that doesnt mean that a website cant still tell your base OS if they use JS platform fingerprinting. Arkenfox, the base config which Librewolf is based off of says the exact same thing. Go to CreepJS and see it get your platform regardless.

Do you have any data to back up that claim? I don't think that's true at all, it would be very rare.

None whatsoever.
I donβt think thatβs true at all, it would be very rare.
Suspicious words. You have one, don't you? Don't worry, I won't tell.

Pick the least POSIX shell, or roll your own!
It does if you right click it and run with wine or whatever it says
in mint cinnamon it still has no power, wine is not in the context menu or program list!
And then it starts running because you set up wine with binfmt_misc, only to crash a few seconds later
Remember that time, when it was possible for about 6 years to hack into any Linux system (without drive encryption) which had GRUB by pressing backspace exactly 28 times? Yeah, good old times.
https://www.hmarco.org/bugs/CVE-2015-8370-Grub2-authentication-bypass.html
If the adversary has physical access you are generally pwned either way
That's hyperbole. Such a system can be "hacked" by simply plugging in a usb-stick and booting from that instead, or dozens of other ways.
The only reason to use GRUB authentication I can think of would be in something like a kiosk.
Yeah that is not really an "OMG" vulnerability as I can also get into that machine by booting it with a USB drive, or plugging it's drove into my own machine.

This has given me a horrendous idea involving a Windows batch file and a weird shebang
you're not the first. there absolutely are multiplatform launcher scripts. i have used one for installers a few years ago.
