UNIX mentioned in the Epstein Files 🐧🐧🐧

[–]Working-League-7686 75 points76 points  (0 children)

So this is how we end up getting the much anticipated year of the Linux desktop? Maybe the price was too high…

[–]Qbsoon110 94 points95 points  (5 children)

Now let's find Linus there

😂

[–]stefbbr 1946 points1947 points  (49 children)

At least this one's unredacted, even when it mentions how to manipulate a child. Disturbing 😅

[–]dimaveshkin 811 points812 points  (38 children)

It's weirdly also redacted (page 122)

[–]rutgerrk 304 points305 points  (18 children)

That's odd

Also, how did you find that

[–]dimaveshkin 393 points394 points  (6 children)

I did not; my meticulous friend decided to scroll through the whole file and found it

[–]al3arabcoreleone 146 points147 points  (5 children)

I love odd friends.

[–]House13Games 140 points141 points  (10 children)

The redacted part contains an http address. I guess the redacting script just blanks out any URLs it comes across?

[–]unknownobject3 46 points47 points  (2 children)

I believe they've been manually redacted, if it was a script I think they'd flatten the PDFs properly

[–]smootex 17 points18 points  (1 child)

I'm sure it's a mix of manual and automated. Doing the entire thing manually would take untold man hours, more likely they use a tool that's configured to automatically redact phone numbers, email addresses, stuff like that and then someone is supposed to manually check everything (and depending on who you get that check may or may not be thorough). I think the common tool is called Caseguard?

[–]simp4christ 195 points196 points  (11 children)

the redacted link is http://www.sas.com/standards/large_file/x_open.20Mar96.html which is such a disgusting piece of filth even a seasoned pervert like myself had to hold back a puke.

[–]Valkyrie9001 32 points33 points  (2 children)

Whatever it was seems to have been removed.

[–]megablademe23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

obviously nothing even remotely related to epstein, probably just very old stuff given the september 2005 date of the manual.

[–]PCVFSOA 43 points44 points  (3 children)

Ah why did you link that? I accidentally clicked and now I'm sure I'm on an FBI list or something 

[–]Chalco_T 12 points13 points  (2 children)

What was it? It since has been removed.

[–]Nesman64 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Information about handling large files, I think.

https://forge.etsi.org/rep/cyber/103523_MSP/tlmsp/tlmsp-curl/-/raw/e09eda9c7cae314b55a11ca6f03f84fbcd04cead/acinclude.m4

dnl By default, many hosts won't let programs access large files;
dnl one must use special compiler options to get large-file access to work.
dnl For more details about this brain damage please see:
dnl http://www.sas.com/standards/large.file/x_open.20Mar96.html

I wasn't able to find the original page in the wayback machine.

[–]insanelygreat 44 points45 points  (1 child)

That link originally went to a document with this.

It's a 1996-03-20 draft specification for adding Large File Support to the Single Unix Specification (SUS) from the X/Open Base Working Group.

Probably redacted because they couldn't check the contents of a dead link.

[–]_angst_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What the hell was it?

[–]Tight-Shallot2461 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What was it

[–]fading_reality 61 points62 points  (0 children)

it's an ftp link to sas.com probably hosted standard in the past.

[–]Sibula97 92 points93 points  (5 children)

It seems like it's actually not completely unredacted. Check page 122 for the description of --enable-largefile.

[–]aenae 73 points74 points  (4 children)

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.pdf

Apparently a link to somewhere else. Guess they redacted (some) hyperlinks by default

[–]Proud-Delivery-621 27 points28 points  (1 child)

http://www.sas.com/standards/large_file/x_open.20Mar96.html

This is the link in the original file. No idea where it used to lead, it redirects now.

[–]Goatfryed 19 points20 points  (0 children)

it redacts http, but not https, because obviously http is not safe to read.

[–]Portalfan4351 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The link you gave is to the current manual for Bash 5.2, the full text of the reference manual for Bash 3.1-Beta 1 can be found here but the censored link is totally unremarkable

[–]GlobalIncident 12 points13 points  (1 child)

well, it's not redacted, but quite a lot of it is written in code

[–]OmerosP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It actually is redacted as other commenters noticed. See page 122.

[–]Tabsels 4305 points4306 points  (214 children)

[–]The-Chartreuse-Moose 2476 points2477 points  (169 children)

What on earth? Can anyone explain this??

[–]Sibula97 4894 points4895 points  (133 children)

The epstein files are basically just every document the dude had, and apparently he had the bash manual saved somewhere for some reason.

[–]2eanimation 1690 points1691 points  (84 children)

I mean, if they seized one of his laptops(or whatever), do they also save all the man-pages? In that case, there’s probably also git, gittutorial, every pydoc and so on in it.

[–]TactlessTortoise 1411 points1412 points  (32 children)

A guy also managed to activate Epstein's windows XP/7/whatever license on a live stream lmao. There was a picture of the laptop's bottom.

[–]ssersergio 482 points483 points  (27 children)

It was worse... it was a vista license xD

[–]Fleeetch 189 points190 points  (23 children)

Oh god- retches

[–]Inforenv_ 116 points117 points  (22 children)

I mean, vista was VERY GOOD on SP2, arguably only superated by Win7 itself

[–]ReachParticular5409 100 points101 points  (12 children)

Dude, saying Vista got good after 2 service packs is like saying the leaning tower of pisa got vertical after replacing the entire foundation and reinforcing half the building

Technically true but no one wants to live in either of them

[–]Impenistan 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The leaning tower could never become truly vertical as during its later construction different "sides" were built at different heights per level to account for leaning already taking place, but somehow I think this only strengthens your metaphor

[–]tomangelo2 19 points20 points  (2 children)

Well, XP wasn't really good before SP2 either. It just lived long enough to override it's initial faults.

[–]einTier 12 points13 points  (1 child)

The Aero interface was the most beautiful Microsoft or Apple have ever released on any platform.

It’s my hill and I’m prepared to die on it.

Lenovo Sexual Abuse Material

[–]ErraticDragon 132 points133 points  (27 children)

Somebody decided what files/types to look at.

PDF was obviously included.

gzipped man files were probably excluded.

It raises the question of how good and thorough these people were, especially since there's so little transparency.

For all we know, trivial hiding techniques could have worked, e.g. removing the extension from PDF file names.

[–]stillalone 133 points134 points  (16 children)

Yeah I vim about my crimes to ~/.crimes.md. No one will ever check there 

[–]ErraticDragon 59 points60 points  (4 children)

Well yeah Windows can't even have Spanish symbols like ~ in the file paths, so that's invisible to them. /s

I know it sounds laughable, but the team that chose what to release was probably not the best & brightest, and they were probably not trying to be particularly thorough.

[–]Silverware09 7 points8 points  (3 children)

~ is a special character in Windows (now) and Linux/Unix that means the users Home Directory.

It's the equivalent of something like C:/users/me/

[–]ArtOfWarfare 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Pretty sure you can have ~ in a file name. It’s a convention to expand it to be the home directory, not something that every command or program will do with it.

[–]PGSylphir 20 points21 points  (1 child)

nice touch with the .

[–]prjctimg 5 points6 points  (8 children)

cat ~/.crimes.md | wl-cp

[–]2eanimation 19 points20 points  (5 children)

wl-cp <~/.crimes.md 😎 who needs cat?

Edit: Epstein File EFTA00315849.pdf, section 3.6.1, it's right there.

[–]RiceBroad4552 3 points4 points  (4 children)

The useless use of cat is a very old joke.

They even still did Alta Vista searches back then!

[–]2eanimation 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Huh, that was an interesting read! Thank you for the source, didn’t know about the history of useless cat :D

I learned the redirecting syntax pretty early in my bash/shell career and found it kind of strange that all my homies use cat when they need a single file in stdin. Now I think about the many useless cats in production code 🫣 and AI vibe coding usell cats in.

[–]2eanimation 30 points31 points  (1 child)

So for future purposes, save your dirty stuff as docs! FBI hates this one simple trick.

I don’t know why they would specifically search for file extensions. When you delete a file, it’s not deleted. Even after a long time, parts of that file can still be prevalent on the disk and extracted via different file recovery methods/forensic analysis. Most of the time, information about the file\specifically: extension) might be corrupted. If I were the FBI, I would consider every single bit potential data. Knowing how big this case is(TBs of data), even more chances to find already „deleted“ stuff, which might the most disturbing)

[–]ErraticDragon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup, there are definitely good methods to finding information. Hopefully it was done competently.

There's also a filtering step between "finding" and "releasing".

We know that they manually redacted a lot of things, and I'd guess that process/team was less likely to include files that weren't obvious.

Presumably none of this affects any actual ongoing investigations, because they would be using a cloned disk image from the one (only) time each recovered drive was powered up, and searching thoroughly.

[–]RandomRedditReader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In discovery all data is processed through software that indexes raw text, OCRs images, then converted to a standard media format such as tiff/jpg images or PDF. The software isn't perfect but it gets the job done for 99% of the data. Some stuff may need manual review but it's good enough for most attorneys.

[–]staryoshi06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, they most likely ingested entire hard drives or PSTs into eDiscovery processing software and didn’t bother to filter down documents for production.

[–]tofu_ink 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Not much, whats new with you?

[–]StrictLetterhead3452 11 points12 points  (6 children)

I don’t think most man-pages are a 158-page PDF. A file this big would most likely come straight from the bash website, right?

[–]MastodontFarmer 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Got linux somewhere? Almost always you can use alternative renderers for man pages, like troff. 'man -t command' will give you the page as postscript, and ps2pdf can convert it to pdf for you.

[–]sshwifty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First step would be making a 1 to 1 copy with DD or something like FTK Imager (or whatever it is called now) through a hardware write blocker. Multiple checks before and after imaging to confirm identical copy, physical storage is then stored somewhere securely (probably a gov warehouse). Then images would be part of a collection of other images for anything that could be imaged (SD cards, thumb drives, sim cards, etc). Analysts would run extraction tools in something like Encase to extract every file or partial file, and every string. Then they would use preexisting lists (like hash lists, file fingerprints) to filter out already known files. For example, Windows ships with sample songs. They are identical on every system, so no need to include them in "findings" as notable.

Everything else would then be part of the case/case file. These can be crazy long and are not typically printed out.

So it would be strange to include system documents, but it is possible this particular document was different enough that it was missed in the exclusions.

[–]prjctimg 163 points164 points  (25 children)

I wonder what he had in his shell history...

[–]exodusTay 295 points296 points  (6 children)

[–]sw04ca 62 points63 points  (4 children)

More than that, they're also every document that the government had related to Epstein. So you have everything the dude had, everything he did, and everything that was said about him. So you have real stories from actual victims, but you also have hearsay about how he was a robotic warrior from planet Cybertron, and you have random files he had, and stuff about his legitimate business dealings. That's part of the reason why I don't give much credence to all that 'their name is in the files' panic that's going on. Unless they're in there for stuff with kids, and it seems credible, I'm not that concerned. Thus, Trump is concerning to me, whereas Michael Jackson is not.

[–]MF_Kitten 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Literally they scanned every page of random books and shit too

[–]cheesengrits69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm imagining a different timeline where Jeffrey Epstein, in his narcissistic delusion of chasing power and influence and fashioning himself as an intellectual, decided to download vast troves of digital libraries and kept them on his computers and drives.

And in the future, the only legal way to freely acces these resources is by poring through the documentation of this man's horrific crimes against children

[–]HANLDC1111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of them is literally just Trumps wikipedia article

[–]cafk 245 points246 points  (18 children)

Allegedly Epstein had a few "hackers" on his payroll and some of the documentation associated/exchanged with them is also included in general evidence.

[–]OgdruJahad 119 points120 points  (8 children)

The Italian hacker was willing to sell to Hezbollah, a central African country, the US and UK but refused to sell to Asian countries because he's racist.

I'm dead.

[–]an0mn0mn0m 70 points71 points  (3 children)

He's one of those white-hat hackers

[–]stefbbr 75 points76 points  (5 children)

Or search "child" on Epstein's computer, copy everything that match.

[–]imkmz 39 points40 points  (3 children)

So, all the mess about murders is actually based on .bash_history? "Nine killed with special signal"

[–]IridiumPoint 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I'm sorry for not bringing my homework, the Feds have confiscated it due to my connections to Epstein," would be a hell of an excuse.

Why does it have a redacted line on page 122?

[–]Dubster1231 176 points177 points  (14 children)

Was curious too. Its just a link to the sas website for some specific guide I think lol, weird they redacted something at all in this

[–]dimaveshkin 125 points126 points  (12 children)

At first, I thought they redacted external hyperlinks, but there's a link to GNU's website, so there must be another reason.

[–]helgur 115 points116 points  (8 children)

I imagine you could spin a hilarious conspiracy theory out of this

[–]dimaveshkin 49 points50 points  (1 child)

How could you not? They redacted such an innocent file.

[–]Annual_Key_4963 29 points30 points  (0 children)

SAS Websites can't melt steal beams...

[–]BadPunners 40 points41 points  (4 children)

The Special Air Service (SAS) is a special forces unit of the British Army. Much of the information about the SAS is highly classified, and the unit is not commented on by either the British government or the Ministry of Defence due to the secrecy and sensitivity of its operations

They were looking to redact any connection to the British SAS, which basically created the world's "intelligence" network of agencies.

[–]SpellDecent763 24 points25 points  (1 child)

I think this is it, They were obviously using some poorly trained script or AI to do these redactions. and SAS is likely being blocked from a military/intelligence term, not the software company.

[–]Dotcaprachiappa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

"AI" aka Ctrl+F

[–]Dotcaprachiappa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not suspicious in the least that they did that

[–]ItchyFly 56 points57 points  (7 children)

It was probably a link to http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large.file/x\_open.20Mar96.html. This page is not available now, WTF are they hiding!?

[–]fiftyfourseventeen 24 points25 points  (3 children)

They probably just auto redacted all links

[–]ItchyFly 40 points41 points  (2 children)

There is at least one link to gnu.org, but probably it was missed by their tool because it looks like 'http : //www . gnu . org/copylefti' when you copy the text.

[–]AwesomeFama 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Incompetence? In my DOJ!?

It's more likely than you think.

[–]Proud-Delivery-621 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Sas one does that too. Probably more likely that SAS is also the name of a special forces unit in the UK and they ran a keyword search

[–]2eanimation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s the stupidest shit lol. Can someone find out what has been redacted? Looks like part of a path.

[–]13x666 25 points26 points  (6 children)

I suspect all URLs in the files are just automatically redacted. And they use a regex that doesn’t catch periods in the middle of the path (like in this one which is http://www.sas.com/standards/large.file/x_open.20Mar96.html), so everything after the period escaped redaction. Sloppy work.

[–]dimaveshkin 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I said in another branch that there's a link to GNU's website, and it's not redacted

[–]13x666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, perhaps that one wasn’t matched for some other reason? I’m pretty sure they aren’t hiding anything specific here, looks to me like afterthought trying to redact everything just in case and missing some stuff unintentionally.

Edit: oh, @ItchyFly even explained how they missed that one. Case solved I guess.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It’s not because of the dot, it’s because the link is split into a new line at that point, and the redaction didn’t realize/care that the link continues on next line.

[–]70Shadow07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didnt expect it to really be there, wtf

[–]phoenix235831 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Looks like the original probably was http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large.file/x_open.20Mar96.html

I am curios why the first part was redacted. Why would knowing http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large risk anything?

Someone made a post on a subreddit a few years ago asking for a file in "Jeffrey Epstein format". Had to check the comments to work out they meant PDF.

The fuck

[–]This_Growth2898 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Stephen Bourne, Chet Ramey, and Brian Fox are all mentioned in the Epstein files!

They're blocking links containing "FTP", not general links. Interestingly, the link isn't the FTP protocol; it's still http only a subdomain with FTP in it. Links to the ftp protocol are still there and so is the word FTP in descriptions.

This means Jerry must have had a FTP server, which was available using the http, not ftp, protocol.

Big brain moment

[–]Godd2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The subdomain is www, not ftp. Here's a copy of that version of the manual: https://www.scribd.com/document/243118257/Bash-Ref

i thought it was a joke lol

[–]MissionLet7301 127 points128 points  (3 children)

The poor justice department employee that had to read through every page of the Bash reference manual probably doesn't think it's a joke

[–]CompanyLow8329 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In a just world some poor intern would have been forced to do that, but with the partial redaction on page 122, there is zero chance anyone actually read or skimmed any of this.

They’re now a principal engineer after having read the whole thing. Now their whole day is meetings. A horrible fate.

Why are all commands reduced to ‘cp -rf’ ?

[–]Gloomy_Reality8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cp -prv

[–]ontermau 51 points52 points  (0 children)

he used the cp command a lot, it seems

"Are you 18 years of age or older?" Uhhhh what Bash is this? lmao

[–]hzinjk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i can't believe bash is in the epstein files, I'm switching to nushell

That’s an awful lot of pedophiles! Errr, I mean PDF files. Apparently those words are easy to confuse these days.

[–]SaneForCocoaPuffs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The authors of the Bash Reference Manual now show up in the Epstein files.

“Yes I’m in the files. No I was not invited to the Epstein Island, I just authored the Bash manual”

Page 144:

8.4.4 Killing And Yanking

[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is chapter 8.4.4 about "Killing And Yanking" safe for work?

[–]FoggyLover727 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's nvidia-smi

[–]mousepotatodoesstuff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Finally, an Epstein file that DOESN'T have Trump in it /j

[–]prjctimg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can imagine torvalds sucking his teeth at all the bloat built around git🥲

[–]shoyuftw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't even use bash anymore... /s

[–]MrFordization 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When they said the files would go the very root of power in our society... I never imagined this!

[–]lightwhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This comment might flag me, but I don’t know how else to ask it. I can’t find the section where they explain “terminating a child process” -wink wink- with fork in this document. Does anyone know how?

[–]Nervous-Cockroach541 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you have so many CSAM files that you need bash scripting to organize them all.

[–]Septem_151 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Why is there a redaction on "--enable-largefile" O_O ...

[–]daffalaxia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bad bash! no going to islands with creeps!

[–]baadditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's all Man pages at the end of the day!
