This is the second time that I’ve heard about this recently.
Any thoughts from the computer gurus among us?
Lemme see, gonna watch it, one sec
This is not a security vulnerability, it’s another fundamental flaw of the Internet/web/web browsers as a whole… which there are a lot of, and it usually falls on Canada or India to fix these fundamental flaws, so please stop flexing about America being so cool for creating the Internet.
I’m going to see something.
I’ve reported the URLs to https://bit.do/contact.php?subject=abuse+report
Thank you. It shows up in download folders. The redirected path is a setup exe for teamviewer and Anydesk. Redirected path can be found by using web online tools including a tool “wheregoes.com”
I completely forgot about WhereGoes… I swear, I was about to use curl or something to figure out where it’s redirecting, I need to stop overthinking things lmao
It looks like there’s one of those Google Analytics parameters in bit.do/adsecure:
https://download.anydesk.com/AnyDesk.exe?_ga=2.23044475.1384072867.1601001387-391348654.1601001387
I’m sadly not sure how to collect any useful information from that. I tried creating a GitHub pages website and adding Google Analytics then appending the ?_ga query string parameter to the URL, but it didn’t work, even after I disabled my ad blocker. (disabling my ad blocker did let the tracker work, but adding the ?_ga parameter doesn’t change anything)
