Ask HN: Is this weird folder name indication of attempted log4shell attack?

The Log4shell vulnerability wasn’t actively exploited prior to March 2021, so the timeline doesn’t make sense.

It looks like that’s some type of encoding. Maybe a Base16 run through a Caesarean cipher.

That being said, no sane programmer would deliberately (with deliberation) include a double quote in a legitimate directory path.

Does “rolandog” mean anything to you?

Advanced explosives seems to be a Minecraft mod. Were you developing this mod?

Are there any mods to the Titan program?

Edit: I was close … it’s Base64 run through a Caesarean.

Hi, thanks for your response.

> Does “rolandog” mean anything to you?

Yep, I think it's my username in the machine, but I think my steam username is different.

> Advanced explosives seems to be a Minecraft mod. Were you developing this mod?

I haven't installed or played Minecraft yet; so, no.

> Are there any mods to the Titan program?

Not to my knowledge! I played a couple of levels a year ago, but I never got too invested to try to find any mods.
