XcQ it’s staying blue.
Say, isn’t there an xkcd about that? https://xkcd.com/2633/?
🧐
Remember him?
This is him now. Feel old yet?
What is that client? Is it FOSS?
yeah its Voyager
Man it looks so good but it’s JavaScript. I was almost tempted.
OK? It’s just a programming language ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yea I’m also a js developer and I try to use js products as less as possible. Just a me thing.
Damn I was hoping the actual #2633 was gonna be relevant
god dammit
It’s about Astronomer Hotlines. But there actual xkcds that at least mention rickrolling, why not use one of them?
Y’know, that probably would have been better, but it was late at night and I just wanted to seize the opportunity.
Oh lawd. I gotta enable linl previews.
2633, kick them in the pp.
Goatse. I’m old.
Yeah, links used to be way more dangerous
A girl In had a crush on sent me the AlbinoBlackSheep “you are an idiot” site that caused a bunch of pop ups. Then she kept sending me links and funny videos and I got all indignant and annoyed because I thought all AlbinoBlackSheep links would be the “you are an idiot” thing.
Upon further review 20 years later she may have been flirting with me.
Anyway that’s why I clicked the scam phishing link, boss.
Hot and funny single ladies from the 90s in your area, that love to talk about old internet nostalgia. So what are you waiting for?! Come join us.
Eh. All the link previews have destroyed rickrolls.
Ironically, link previews can help avoid Rick rolls but can hurt security because the link needs to be looked at to generate the preview. If it exploits some flaw (rather than being a phishing thing) or just wants to track if the link has been loaded or grab the IP, then you don’t even get to choose to not click it to avoid that.
Eh, you just have to adapt. Rickrolls hidden in valid seeming content, redirects from innocuous looking links, and just link shorteners can all obfusicate the actual content.
Rickrolling didn’t teach us that, 2g1c made us cautious of clicking random links
'twas goatse that taught a young me to be more careful on the internet.
Between 2g1c, goatse, and lemon party, I learned to always triple check every link I even think of clicking on.
If you really don’t want to see something super fucked up don’t google india train victim NSFL
Cmon old people having sex is like wholesome, they are alive and happy, it is eye bleach after train stuff. I saw India train thing weeks ago and the video is still in my head
Child you know not how good you have it with your Richard Roll.
Goatse.
Stealth edit: lemon party.
Tub girl.
Nope. I love that song.
Edit: Know what? I’m going to listen to it right now!
It’s a catchy song. Here’s an acapella cover by Home Free:
A rare self-rick-roll.
I just realized that I’m unable to remember the melody rn. I’ve heard the song a thousand times…
The internet is never gonna give you up
It sounds a bit like Robo’s theme from Chrono Trigger, but slowed down a little.
KnowBe4, a popular phishing simulation tool, actually has a built-in rickrolling template.
But are entirely defeated if you make a rule in outlooks saying trash any email that contains knowb4 in the header.
Not only do you pass all phishing tests, but you also don’t get spammed by them when renewal comes around.
Phishme is the same. Add a rull saying trash as my email containing phishme.com in the header.
The emails aren’t from KnowBe4. They are from your HR or CEO or IT department. The links themselves are obvious on the hover though.
You seem to miss where I said header not from field.
The emails originate from knowb4 or phishme servers and customers whitelist those servers from anti spam/phishing/url inspection to minimise the false positives.
The knowb4 and phishme have their names in as part of the email ehlo exchange and are written into the header for tracking.
I’m not seeing the header in Microsoft Outlook. At least the web version. I would love to filter these.
I have memorised the dqw4 part of the link so I know not to click it
Anyways here’s a cute funny cat video for anyone who did get rickrolled in this thread so they can forget about it
No, Goatse did that.
Mostly. I had the cassette. I had the outfit. I click the links.
Her arms it’s unusually long…
That’s why you’re never gonna give her up.
Yeah is giving vibes as shower thoughts by slender(wo)man
And her index finger looks fatter than her thumb. Either that or she has a cloven hand. Methinks AI
I can’t find the source on mobile but this image existed looooong before genAI was a thing.
That’s even weirder!
Spooky lady.
No, I still click random links to this day.
What is the worst could happen if I click on a random link on a brand new computer?
