Домашний Netflix за вечер: Transmission + Jellyfin + Telegram-бот на Docker с поддержкой NAS

The setup involves a Keenetic router with a 2TB USB drive, functioning as a NAS for network storage. It utilizes three Docker containers: Transmission with Flood UI for torrent management, Jellyfin as a media server, and a Telegram bot for adding torrents and receiving notifications. The process allows users to send .torrent files via Telegram, which are then downloaded and made available in Jellyfin for viewing on various devices. The configuration requires Docker, a NAS or router with SMB share, and a Telegram account. The system is designed to maintain data integrity through OS reinstalls, and it can be set up quickly using a provided repository and configuration files.

Hackers Using RMM Tools LogMeIn and PDQ Connect to Deploy Malware as Legitimate Software

Cybersecurity researchers at AhnLab Security Intelligence Center (ASEC) have discovered an attack campaign that uses legitimate Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, specifically LogMeIn Resolve and PDQ Connect, to deploy backdoor malware on users' systems. Attackers lure victims to fake download sites that mimic legitimate software pages for utilities like Notepad++, 7-Zip, and VLC Media Player, delivering modified versions of LogMeIn Resolve. The malicious installers are disguised with filenames such as "notepad++.exe" and "chatgpt.exe." Once executed, these files install the RMM tool and additional malware capable of stealing sensitive information. ASEC has identified three CompanyId values associated with the attacks: 8347338797131280000, 1995653637248070000, and 4586548334491120000. The malware, known as PatoRAT, is a Delphi-developed backdoor that gathers system information and has extensive malicious capabilities, including keylogging and remote desktop access. Users are advised to download software only from official websites and verify digital signatures, while organizations should monitor for unauthorized RMM installations and the identified indicators of compromise.

How to Fix the GETSOCKOPT Error in Minecraft

The GETSOCKOPT error in Minecraft occurs when the game cannot establish a network connection, often indicated by messages like “Connection timed out: getsockopt” or “Connection refused: getsockopt.” This error is not a bug in Minecraft but relates to network reachability or permission issues from the system or router configuration. Common causes include incorrect IP address or port, server being offline or misconfigured, firewall or antivirus interference, missing router port forwarding, double NAT or CGNAT from the ISP, and router limitations. In a LAN setup, AP isolation or a “Public” network type can also cause issues. VPNs or proxy services may disrupt connections as well. To troubleshoot the GETSOCKOPT error, players can take several steps: 1. Run Minecraft as Administrator to grant necessary permissions. 2. Double-check the IP address and port for accuracy. 3. Use a VPN to bypass routing issues or ISP restrictions. 4. Reconnect the Wi-Fi or Ethernet to refresh the network adapter. 5. Temporarily disable antivirus and allow Minecraft through the firewall. 6. Set up port forwarding for self-hosted servers to ensure inbound traffic reaches the device. 7. Contact the ISP to check for blocked ports or restrictive NAT policies.
