I have had a webserver listener on 80/tcp/http for a long time, but it has only redirected to our 443/tcp/https service. With the 2026APR forum changes, browsers are to use HTTPS by default. Since HTTP carries no content, I am removing the listener. Make sure all your bookmarks for AniNIX start with https://.
Due to legal challenges posed by a number of world powers, including the Chinese PLA, Russia, the UK, and the UN, the AniNIX network will be geofenced to the US. Users using VPNs will need a US exit node or an alternate method of connecting to services. We will test this with the less user-facing services first and gradually roll it out to all.
AniNIX was informed of CVE-2024-3094 via our OSINT community on 2024-03-28 -- patching was completed in AniNIX/Maat on 2024-03-29 and in all systems the day after. Security review of our access logs in AniNIX/Sharingan do not indicate a compromise, using dork `"accepted" AND application_name:"sshd" AND NOT "Accepted publickey"` and others. We apologize for the delay in follow-up and transparency, but other considerations have required attention prior to this post.
We're starting an open-source intelligence or OSINT feed to announce some of our incoming threat data to the world. We hope this can be the start of meaningfully giving back to the cybersec community.
