My fellow penguins,

I have been pwned. What started off as weeks of smiling everytime I heard a 7-10s soundbyte of Karma Factory’s “Where Is My Mind” has now devolved into hearing dashes and dots (Morse Code) and my all-time favorite, a South Park S13: Dead Celebrities soundbyte of Ike’s Dad saying, “Ike, we are sick of you talking about ghosts!”

It’s getting old now.

I feel like these sounds should be grepable in some log somewhere, but I’m a neophyte to this. I’ve done a clean (secure wipe >> reinstall) already, the sounds returned not even a day later.

Distro is Debian Bookworm. So how do I find these soundbytes? And how do I overcome this persistence? UFW is blocking inbound connection attempts everyday, but the attacker already established a foothold.

Thank you in advance. LOLseas

    Thanks, I ran the above watch command with ‘pw-cli list-objects’ and will report back upon the next occurence. It’s been quiet these past few hours. Thanks for helping a fellow penguin! Much appreciated, all of you.

      I couldn’t wait for the next soundbyte, so I checked the running sound-inputs.log and noticed a few entries for Chromium. I don’t use it, nor have I ever installed it on this system. Did a ‘which chromium-browser’ and got no hits. Yet it’s mentioned a few times in the log. Thoughts?
