5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

• The hottest repositories created in the last week.
• The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
• Issue trends by language.
• Clojure projects defying convention.

This was tested on a ThinkPad P70 laptop with an Intel integrated graphics and an NVIDIA GPU:

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 191b (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204GLM [Quadro M3000M] (rev a1)

A reason to use the integrated graphics for display is if installing the NVIDIA drivers causes the display to stop working properly. In my case, Ubuntu would get stuck in a login loop after installing the NVIDIA drivers. This happened regardless if I installed the drivers from the "Additional Drivers" tab in "System Settings" or the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa in the command-line.

WannaCry|WannaDecrypt0r NSA-Cyberweapon-Powered Ransomware Worm

• Virus Name: WannaCrypt, WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, WCRY
• Vector: All Windows versions before Windows 10 are vulnerable if not patched for MS-17-010. It uses EternalBlue MS17-010 to propagate.
• Ransom: between $300 to $600. There is code to 'rm' (delete) files in the virus. Seems to reset if the virus crashes.
• Backdooring: The worm loops through every RDP session on a system to run the ransomware as that user. It also installs the DOUBLEPULSAR backdoor. It corrupts shadow volumes to make recovery harder. (source: malwarebytes)
• Kill switch: If the website www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com is up the virus exits instead of infecting the host. (source: malwarebytes). This domain has been sinkholed, stopping the spread of the worm. Will not work if proxied (source).

update: A minor variant of the viru
