Yo yo yo, there's a new game on neal.fun. It's like Little Alchemy, but every combination works.

And just linux in general. It's literally so weird

 

Without any spoilers, I just want to make sure. Is it still open? Is there any part that is blocked off, or long gone?

Text version:

Downloaded a virus for Linux lately and unpacked it. Tried to run it as root, didn't work. Googled for 2 hours, found out that instead of /usr/local/bin the virus unpacked to /usr/bin for which the user malware doesn't have any write permissions, therefore the virus couldn't create a process file. Found patched .configure and .make files on some Chinese forum, recompiled and rerun it. The virus said it needs the library cmalw-lib-2.0.Turns out cmalw-lib-2.0 is shipped with CentOS but not with Ubuntu. Googled for hours again and found an instruction to build a.deb package from source. The virus finally started, wrote some logs, made a core dump and crashed. After 1 hour of going through the logs I discovered the virus assumed it was running on ext4 and called into its disk encryption API. Under btrfs this API is deprecated. The kernel noticed and made this partition read-only

Opened the sources, grep'ed the Bitcoin wallet and sent $5 out of pity.

 

It's in the bottom middle
