:linux:📄 Minimal Linux OS runs in a 6MB PDF Document in Chrome.

A version of the Linux operating system can now be run inside a PDF opened by a Chromium-based browser. The developer [Ading2210] explains that Linux need a modified version of the TinyEMU RISC-V emulator.

If you wish to try out the LinuxPDF, it requires a Chromium-based browser to work correctly (I checked, but it didn't work in Firefox on PC).

On the topic of speed and efficiency, [Ading2210] humbly admits that performance might be the largest problem with LinuxPDF. "The Linux kernel takes about 30-60 seconds to boot up within the PDF, which [is] over 100x slower than normal," notes the developer. With Chrome's current PDF engine having its Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler disabled, [Ading2210] sees no way of speeding up the code, for now.

The TinyEMU RISC-V emulator runs in the PDF thanks to a technique where its code is compiled "using an old version of Emscripten that targets asm.js instead of WebAssembly." This is embedded and loads in the PDF, subsequently auto-running a minimal Linux kernel targeting that architecture.

In this implementation, once you agree to 'Start Emulator' in your browser, you will see the LinuxPDF UI load, and a welcome message in the Linux viewport, as you wait for the OS to boot.

Below the Linux viewport in the PDF is a soft keyboard created by an array of PDF buttons. However, it is likely quicker for everyone with a decent physical keyboard to input commands into the 'type here for keyboard inputs' field to the lower right of the keyboard UI area.

Just learned today that #PDF has its own association: https://pdfa.org/news/

Anybody know more about this? Like: How deep is Acrobat still involved? Is this a good association bringing more freedom to the format or a bad on, just acting as a shell for bad company influence? And so on.

Fake CAPTCHA PDFs spread Lumma Stealer via Webflow, GoDaddy & other Domains.

IT-Security researchers have uncovered a widespread phishing campaign that uses fake CAPTCHA images shared via PDF documents hosted on Webflow's content delivery network (CDN) to deliver the Lumma stealer malware.

Netskope Threat Labs said it discovered 260 unique domains hosting 5,000 phishing PDF files that redirect victims to malicious websites.

"The attacker uses SEO to trick victims into visiting the pages by clicking on malicious search engine results," security researcher Jan Michael Alcantara said in a report. "While most phishing pages focus on stealing credit card information, some PDF files contain fake CAPTCHAs that trick victims into executing malicious PowerShell commands, ultimately leading to the Lumma Stealer malware."

The phishing campaign is estimated to have affected more than 1,150 organizations and more than 7,000 users since the second half of 2024, with the attacks primarily singling out victims in North America, Asia, and Southern Europe across technology, financial services and manufacturing sectors.


Ein Schüler hat eine spezielle Variante von #Linux in ein #PDF integriert. Das lässt sich mit jedem Browser auf Basis von #Chromium starten. Auf diese Weise hatte der Bastler zuletzt auch #Doom portiert. https://winfuture.de/news,148867.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia


Ach, die #PDF ist für mich gar nicht wählbar. Auch gut. Von den anderen habe ich eigentlich bei keiner der obersten da im Screenshot irgendeine Präferenz.

As someone who reads and searches in articles (PDF) in the browser a lot, I have to say the @Vivaldi seems to have taken a turn for the worse. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I now experience daily crashes and unresponsive tabs. It’s difficult to report bugs because the issues are hard to reproduce. Anyone else seeing this?
