  • Today we'll discuss The Scariest Week in Minecraft's History and how the log4j vulnerability (log4shell) was weaponized on 2b2t and other Minecraft servers, as well as the entire internet.
    This java hack is not going away anytime soon.
    My Twitter: FitMC
    My Instagram: fitmcsippycup
    HOW TO STAY SAFE:
    1. Update Java to the most recent version
    2. Update Minecraft to the most recent version
    3. Re-install 3rd party versions of Minecraft ONLY if you know they are safe.
    4. Servers can still be affected, so only join servers you can trust.

    Hopefully the damage from the log4j vulnerability (log4shell) will not be too extreme.
    2b2t is currently awaiting the 1.18/1.19 Caves & Cliffs Minecraft update. Very exciting times!

    He is someone that takes part on very interesting hacking elements and actively works for whoever he wishes. But actually has some kind of work ethic and pulls power move to even protect people from genuinely evil people.
    To be honest? I think he is the most gifted programmer i ever heard of. He is so passionate of his work and talent that he has developed a new appreciation for the digital world. To the point of having restraint to not do an actual harm to other people.

    The other reason 2b2t was shut down was because the exploit ALSO worked server-side. Meaning anyone could backdoor the server with it. Not just the Minecraft server instance, but the actual dedicated box it runs on. They could crash it, delete the world data, and who knows what else. If the backups are on the same server, they could even take it down permanently.

      I know it’s an anarchy server but they should ban the f*ck permanently. He’s a literal security risk. He’s willing to break the law, putting users private info at risk just to earn him money IRL. If the anarchy is outside of the sever than punishments have to be given imo

      You know how sometimes in a card game like MTG you can end up with absolutely broken combos when different effects interact in just the right way before they release an errata or add one of the cards to the ban lists? Log4shell is kinda like that, where different developers added more and better features to different parts of the code until suddenly someone figured out some way to get it to all interact in a way that would give them RCE.
