15:23 <dwrensha> ugh, what is going on with the dirtycow.ninja people?

15:23 <dwrensha> https://github.com/dirtycow/dirtycow.github.io/pull/4#issuecomment-255532681

15:25 <dwrensha> https://dirtycow.ninja has misleading copy, and then when someone submits a pull request to make it clearer, we get a discussion about pop culture references?

15:33 <iangreenleaf> The splashy CVE branding trend has officially gone too far :)

15:35 <dwrensha> what we seem to have here is a self-loathing splashy brand

15:35 <dwrensha> "What's with the stupid (logo|website|twitter|github account)?"

16:10 <asheesh> I'm very happy with the above link.

16:15 <dwrensha> asheesh: I'm unhappy that dirtycow.ninja says "Am I affected by the bug? Nope." (when I visit the page from a Mac).

16:17 <dwrensha> I looked at the page last week, assumed it was 100% satire, and therefore did not take the vulnerability very seriously

16:19 <asheesh> Oh, okay.

16:20 <dwrensha> I think the page has gotten somewhat clearer since then, but I think it still has problems.

16:20 <asheesh> I found the website to be confusing and hunted for some link that said "technical details" and found my way to https://github.com/dirtycow/dirtycow.github.io/wiki/VulnerabilityDetails via the top-nav, so any negative feelings about the actual site got erased in me, I guess.

19:23 <kentonv> dwrensha: dirtycow.ninja was created by people who have nothing to do with discovering nor fixing the bug.

19:23 <dwrensha> yeah, I got that much

19:24 <kentonv> dwrensha: Andy tells me he accidentally reported the vulnerability to a distros security mailing list that includes BSD distros, rather than the linux-only one, and he suspects someone affiliated with one of the BSDs created the web site

19:24 <kentonv> because it was clearly built before the bug was public

19:26 <kentonv> and the site suggests donating to the FreeBSD project

19:37 <dwrensha> Ah, it makes more sense as satire directed at Linux.

19:37 <dwrensha> maybe "trolling" is a more appropriate word than "satire"

19:37 <kentonv> indeed

21:03 <isd> Particually the "how do I uninstall Linux" "faq"
