A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Searching for "proxmox releases" in ecosia I accidentally ended up on the site

proxmax (dot) org/download/

Which I wasn't able to download anything from but still looks shady AF.

Stay safe <3

You should report that to google smart screen so chrome browsers throw a red flag.

I also crossposed this to !proxmox@lemmy.world

Awesome thanks! Will do.

Typosquat domain for sure! In a sandbox I'm seeing that all the download links point to the same HTML page on a .ink domain that cloudflare is now refusing to serve.

But our buddy joe already got a copy for us so we can at least view that report for fun: https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/1763244/1/html

Edit: It pulls down an MSI installer or something it runs with msiexec but disguised with a PDF file extension. It seems to want a copy of cmd.exe to exist in an AutoIT installation (SearchPathW vs "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\cmd.exe") as well as pointing toward the multilanguage (.exe.mui) and other cmd variants. I suspect we're one step away from a real payload with this report and that's what we'd see the "Invoke-Obfuscation" powershell the sandbox spotted used for (if that wasn't a false positive due to the base64 offset string).

Interesting analysis, thank you :)
