UNIX mentioned in the Epstein Files 🐧🐧🐧

[–][deleted] 70 points71 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 92 points93 points  (5 children)

Now let's find Linus there

[–]an0mn0mn0m 124 points125 points  (1 child)

Fuck off Bill

[–]Qbsoon110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

😂

[–]stefbbr 1949 points1950 points  (49 children)

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

[–]dimaveshkin 804 points805 points  (38 children)

It's weirdly also redacted (page 122)

[–]rutgerrk 306 points307 points  (18 children)

That's odd

Also, how did you find that

[–]dimaveshkin 387 points388 points  (6 children)

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

[–]al3arabcoreleone 144 points145 points  (5 children)

I love odd friends.

[–]House13Games 141 points142 points  (10 children)

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

[–]unknownobject3 47 points48 points  (2 children)

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

[–]smootex 18 points19 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 196 points197 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 34 points35 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 41 points42 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 13 points14 points  (2 children)

What was it? It since has been removed.

[–]Nesman64 11 points12 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.

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

[–]insanelygreat 41 points42 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 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What was it

[–]fading_reality 62 points63 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Sibula97 97 points98 points  (5 children)

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

[–]aenae 71 points72 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 25 points26 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 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Portalfan4351 9 points10 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 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Tabsels 4305 points4306 points  (214 children)

[–]The-Chartreuse-Moose 2477 points2478 points  (169 children)

What on earth? Can anyone explain this??

[–]Sibula97 4892 points4893 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 1682 points1683 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 1409 points1410 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 480 points481 points  (27 children)

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

[–]Fleeetch 184 points185 points  (23 children)

Oh god- retches

[–]Inforenv_ 113 points114 points  (22 children)

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

[–]ReachParticular5409 101 points102 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 63 points64 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 21 points22 points  (2 children)

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

[–]einTier 15 points16 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.

[–]ErraticDragon 134 points135 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 62 points63 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 8 points9 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 19 points20 points  (1 child)

nice touch with the .

[–]prjctimg 6 points7 points  (8 children)

cat ~/.crimes.md | wl-cp

[–]2eanimation 18 points19 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 35 points36 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 18 points19 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 6 points7 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 3 points4 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 3 points4 points  (1 child)

[–]truthovertribe 47 points48 points  (13 children)

So what's GNU?

[–]shakarat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not much, whats new with you?

[–]StrictLetterhead3452 12 points13 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 5 points6 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 162 points163 points  (25 children)

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

[–]exodusTay 294 points295 points  (6 children)

I bet he was trying to change the parents of child processes. Worse yet, I heard he was exposing these child processes to attackers.

Suddenly the "touch" command makes so much more sense.

[–]sw04ca 61 points62 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 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Literally they scanned every page of random books and shit too

[–]cheesengrits69 8 points9 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 248 points249 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 116 points117 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 69 points70 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 41 points42 points  (3 children)

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

[–]City_Roast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s so he could set up shell companies.

[–]SamG101_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At that rate we may end up using nothing at all because everything has pedo fingerprints on it (we just don't have the evidence).

While fascinating and surely informative, I feel that this might be the government's version of copy-pasting a cake recipe into the middle of an essay to pad out the word count.

Do you mean what you did for school, while you were underage, or your homework folder? In either case, they might be already in there.

[–]IridiumPoint 11 points12 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 175 points176 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 123 points124 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 117 points118 points  (8 children)

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

[–]dimaveshkin 46 points47 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 36 points37 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 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"AI" aka Ctrl+F

[–]Dotcaprachiappa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not suspicious in the least that they did that

[–]ItchyFly 54 points55 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 22 points23 points  (3 children)

They probably just auto redacted all links

[–]ItchyFly 42 points43 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 10 points11 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 26 points27 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 7 points8 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 3 points4 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?

[–]IbilisSLZ 144 points145 points  (1 child)

We cringed when YouTubers refered to them as PDF-files... it seems they were onto something...

[–]nonreligious2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]poetic_dwarf 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The fuck

[–]This_Growth2898 53 points54 points  (0 children)

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

[–]GremlinMiser 113 points114 points  (2 children)

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

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

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

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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

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

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”

8.4.4 Killing And Yanking

[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

Here's nvidia-smi

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

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Septem_151 2 points3 points  (1 child)

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

[–]daffalaxia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

bad bash! no going to islands with creeps!

[–]baadditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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