…and this is why
- pihole ain’t enough
- you dont buy skeezy shit off aliexpress
- if your pirate box isn’t self hosted, it’s a prostitute :P

Honestly… I’m kind of impressed at the level of fuckery that vSeeBox goes into. This is not just a random crypto mining bot… someone with real skills went to a fair bit of trouble to obfuscate things.
Impressive. Most impressive.
PS: don’t buy vSeeBox - or do, with eyes wide open.
That’s pretty wild man. Reminds me of a while ago, a lot of people got busted locally for selling loaded Kodi boxes at the flea market. I bought one out of mild curiosity from a greasy individual who I could tell wasn’t the front man of the operation. Anyway, I booted it an ran wireguard against it. I don’t have the skill this guy does in the video, but what I did see were a lot…a lot…of sketchy Chinese ip addresses. So, i shut it down and it resides in the junk bin.

Particularly this comment:
u/Fun-Device-9702 Apr 14 '25 I got a couple strange emails that were definably spam after hooking one up, so I wonder if there some kind of back door program working on these.
