On my walk home from work I found a flash drive on the ground. Being the reasonable person that I am, I pocketed it and decided to take it home. I heard sometimes people intentionally leave flash drives laying around for the purpose of delivering viruses physically, and I thought maybe it was just that, so I loaded this onto an old laptop that I should have thrown away almost ten years ago. This PoS doesn't even have working wifi. Of course, it didn't have a charge either and it took almost 30 minutes to find the charger.The very first thing to stand out is that most of this stuff is dated for 1991 or 1992. I have no clue. I went to start giving the .exe files a check (which I'm sure are loaded with malware) and there's some kind of weird bug in the RNG test shown in picrel. It keeps repeating the same number every few times I generate a new output. Again, no clue. There's not a lot here but the stuff I'm finding isn't sitting right with me. The other executables don't seem to do anything malicious, or anything at all really. Flash drive is one of those sliding Sandisks but I don't think that matters.Ultimately, this is really just making me miss Windows 7 kek. Will post more updates soon. Captcha is being a pain, for how long has it been like this?
I really wish I could post more than one file at once. Or even upload sound files directly. That would be cool. It doesn't matter because I thought there would be more files here.Picture related is two screenshots spliced together, the first part showing the home of the folder, the second showing whatever this data folder is supposed to be. I tried uploading the picture from the second folder but I need to find a way to convert it. The 0 file is blank, 1 appears to be filled with errors, I have no idea as how to open Saturn or if I even can. The saturn output test sound is weird to say the least. I uploaded it to vocaroo.https://voca.ro/15OWoqhBd7IdI can't find anything on Google suggesting that "WonderTech" exists and I can't even find a startup with that name from 1992. This shit is weird. I'm also just noticing that these programs don't even appear on my taskbar and that my broken wifi is active and working. Kek?
Got it. Did OPTIC ever make CPUs? I found that Optic Computers is a real thing, but I don't know what to search to find out what kind of hardware they use.
>>42577460if you have a coding agent harness and an LLM handy run it through that anon, it’ll help find any dependencies for opening the saturn file. no searches for what you’ve listed turn up anything for me.
archive dot org has some info>inb4 I sabotage op’s arg
you shouldn't stick unknown devices into your property and why did you bring this here?
>>42577714As far as I can tell it MIGHT be a Chinese tool for early-90s IT departments (eg, hardware diagnostics)
>>42577753Sorry for triple post, but I thought I’d add some speculation as to why something from 1992 is on a flash drive (which weren’t even developed then I don’t think? Tape backup was more common afaik):1) It might be for some specific piece of hardware that a company never phased out, so they kept having to port forward the old software.. perhaps through a console emulator2) It might be a tool some Chinese national was using to pinpoint low-level vulnerabilities, and they had it on a flash drive that they then lost or abandoned
>>42577460larp. They used floppy discs back then, usb drive was not even invented yet
>>42577782I don't think OP was implying the USB was from 1992 anon. Just that some of the files we're dated to then.
>>42577714>>42577772Can you post the link or whatever you typed to find it? I can't find the archive even with that gif. I really have no idea what the fuck this is supposed to be and I'm willing to take any information I can about it.>>42577729Because this doesn't make any sense to me.>you shouldn't stick unknown devices into your propertyThat's what the decade old laptop is for anon.>>42577815Correct, I found it on a flash drive. I would assume that this would have been on a floppy at some point, but I'm a bit confused since there's a 6mb picture in here and the Saturn file is almost 100kb compared to everything else that's a mere 2-6kb. I don't think all of that would fit on a floppy. I want to say they were added later but the files are still dated for 1992.
>>42577939https://web.archive.org/web/20001206202400/http://www.wondertech.com/There are some other ones on there, too. To replicate and for your future knowledge, just use archive dot org with the keyword “wondertech.”
Now that I'm back home I can do some more digging around. I'm going through the DOCS folder and the manual file is just blank. What is there is pointless nerd shit documentation. The HELP and WARN files in here are more both more interesting than the other ones I found so I'll be putting them on pastebin.https://pastebin.com/2XPg05pkhttps://pastebin.com/WVxi9Q7g>Distribution outside designated WONDERTECH environments is prohibited. (lmao your IP is dead)>When executed under external operating environments such as Microsoft Windows 3.x...>DO NOT TRUST BOOTCHK RESULTS ANYMORE.Does anything "bad" happen from wrong bootcheck results? It looks like they might have been competing with Microsoft as well from the looks of it. How likely is it that I ran a worm or some other suspect shit on the laptop? I'm starting to hope this is some kind of elaborate physical troll but I don't remember seeing other flash drives around.>>42577951Cheers, I'm going to do some more looking around to see if I can find anything.
>>42577958>Limitations which were artificially imposed due to lawsuits from Microsoft Corporation and Apple Computer, Inc. are not present in the WT-IUE.lmaoi think microslop and apple sued a small business into non-existence
>>42577460Bump. Keep digging anon.
>>42577958Upload the flash drive contents to internet archive then
>>42577460Not likely from 1992, we were still using 8.3 type filenames until windows 95 was released. These could just be newer files with a corrupt file allocation table, You can probably just do a web search for the filenames and software title
>>42577958>>42577951wtf it's all in hebrew and out of tel aviv? That is where the liberal less religious jews go.
>>42577460Docs refer to an establishment of intel
explore the devices metadata, bios etc and post details
>>42578420Also just post the executables so we can poke and prod at them, pussy
>>42578336Where are you getting Hebrew? On my mobile it shows up as incoherent special chars, and that led me to believe it required Chinese charsetPost screenshot and autotranslate it if available
>>42577958>The generator uses a seeded entry pool derived from system timing jitter and memory access timing variance, ensuring that the numbers are statistically non-deterministic.I'm not sure, but isn't this modern technology? Like TRNG used in modern devices on CPU basis?
>>42578291Dude, seriously, please transfer the contents of that flash drive somewhere urgently. I need to browse through it on my virtual computer.

>>42577479That is most certainly a server board from the late 90s to early 00s. There are lots of DIMM slots on the left side of the board and several PCI or perhaps PCI-X expansion slots on the right. . The brand on the bottom left chip looks to be OPTi rather than Optic. OPTi created various chips for the 286/486 early pentium boards. picrel is the typical design of their chips. When poking around in a catalog of OPTi chips however I couldn't find any that simply had the logo and no subtext like the bottom left chip in this photo seems to have. Could have been rubbed off over time however
Did some digging last night and I gave up about three minutes after trying to translate Hebrew from the archive link. Noticed a few things I forgot to point out with the last few pastes.>Limitations which were artificially imposed due to lawsuits from Microsoft Corporation and Apple Computer, Inc. are not present in the WT-IUE. (KEK)>Time dilation outside nominal tolerance may occur on legacy hardware. This has been considered acceptable within operational limits. (Long lasting Y2K issue?)>>42578291>>42578882I keep trying to put it on the internet archive but I'm getting a "bad file format" error every time I try to upload it. I packaged it as a .zip and a .rar but neither is working for me. Any ideas? Anywhere else I can upload it to?>>42578420>>42579450How do I do all of that? I don't know how to extract metadata and I looked at Ghidra, but unfortunately it's one of those github programs. Pic related is about the metadata I guess but that doesn't show you much.>>42578404Where? I think I missed that, even a ctrl+f and I don't see anything about Intel.Uploaded what I could of Saturn to pastebin, but I need to figure out how to upload the raw files. I really want to know what's up with the recursive numbers too. Will reply to others in my next post, apparently I can't quote more than five people at once.https://pastebin.com/NybGvpnk
I think I figured out the metadata thing, I guess it just doesn't work with folders. Looking at the metadata from the picture I uploaded earlier, and like the few other files I've looked at so far, there's nothing here.>>42580106Looking into this now but the earliest article seems to be from 2004. Still tried clicking through a couple of articles but I don't understand anything that's being written about.>>42580931Thanks. I'll try making some more searches with this in mind but I'm not expecting to get many results. I don't know how you fuckers are finding stuff outside of Google and archive dot org.

>>42577466The folder "DATA" was last modified yesterday. Was this you that changed some file in it or was the modified date like that when you found the flash drive? What specifically in the data folder was modified yesterday?
>>42581483I didn't change anything, and I explicitly remember all of the files being set for 1991 and 1992 when I first plugged this in. All of the files look (and sound) the same at a glance. I have been launching exe files and mashing keys in hopes something happens though, maybe that finally did something. Thanks for pointing that out. Gonna check to see if the saturn file is the same.>>42581031>>42581332This is making me paranoid desu. Is distributing a presumably dead company's software illegal? I see no reason why talking about it would be illegal, but its country of origin gives me plenty of reason to be concerned.
>>42581640I noticed in your screenshots that there was a python icon in the top left of the windows that opened when you run the exe files. Python was only invented in 1991 and I highly doubt that a random Israeli company would have started using it for their weird little programs let alone even have access to a compiler that supported compiling it into exe. Smells like an anachronistic ARG to me, anon
>>42581640yes, it's mega illegal. you're going to israeli circa 1999 song sharing jail for eternity.
Bump for OC
OP upload it to Megaupload or something and drop it here
>>42580965>uh, i can't upload the files because uh... reasons okay!!!LARPSage
>>42582456he asked for alternatives why didn't you give any faggot bump'd & nokopilled
>>42582498and you are a dumbass who doesnt understand how file uploading works
>>42580106I never found any mention of Wondertech, however he is mentioned as co-founder of transSpot. And transSpot shares domain with Wondertech.
>>42581640It’s abandonware, m8. Upload it to archive dot org
>>42580965https://file.kiwi/ Hey buddy, you can upload the files here and share the link with us.
>>42581640> Is distributing a presumably dead company's software illegalWho is going to sue you? A dead company from china? In the USA? Kek. Your risk is practically zero. This would imply 4chin or the filehost provides your IP upon request AND your ISP complies upon request - From China. From a company that can’t be found, except a broken website on archive. They don’t even have a legal basis to do request this information in the USA afaik.It’s more likely this boomer is ITT right now kek. Very worst case is 4plebs or file host gets a takedown request in a few weeks. But you can see on plebs when they last got a takedown request from a lawyer, it was over 10 years ago i think. Zero risk. Risk for Malware is a billion times higher and you had no problem pluggin it in already This is wholly unecessary but if you really shit your pants switch to dynamic ipv4 in your router settings. Change your IP (turn router on an off) upload and change again. This way you have plausible deniability due to rotating IPs if you get sued (you definitely won’t). Upload from puplic wifi if you are extra extra paranoid. But come on, you know what shit people share here. Many with their phones mobile data. Upload or confirmed LARP
>>42577958> \x00\xFF\x00 CORRUPTION IS NOT LINEAR IT IS INTERMITTENT \xFF\x00NOT ALWAYS PRESENT BUT ALWAYS RETURNINGno one spotted this? seems like the most x thing here. I'm a programmer and I can't really say either way if this is legit or not. It kind of makes sense that diagnostics might try and determine if the hardware is keeping time. Would they describe it like that though? seems sus... but could legit interesting. If op wasn't a faggot and just shared the files on any site. But guess what? op is in fact a faggot.
>>42577460Gay larpSage in all fields
mom, can you get me some chicken tendies?? a new ARG just dropped...
>>42583550It’s half a decade since I last coded myself, and it was just a few months. These are surely no standard errors from any common OS. Looks like sloppy copy pasted output from custom test functions with error handling, employing badly translated chinese naming to English. Yeah, the binary values are probably cycle drifts/deviations from expected clock or something. So it’s prototype firmware for a chip. Doesn’t seem to work very reliably though. But could contain some interesting stuff
Robert Noyce Building is the Intel Corp building. Is this some kind of an Intel Software? Upload Hardware.TEX please OPRNG.SYS says it is non repeatable but the OP says it has been giving them the same numbers on a loop? what rules are you breaking?Clock.SYS is talking about time dilation and how Calendar,SYS drifts from normal time based on hardware time. Can you change the hardware time and give us the results?The last few Para also talks about running it in a system that doesn't talk to much with background processes which might disturb the timing and execution of this. Run in it DOS????

keeping it bumped til OP returns
>>42577460Thanks anon for the post this actually clears alot of things up. You finding it isn't a mistake but helps make some things make more sense ig.
@grok summarize this thread in a shakespearian sonnet
>>42586332From dark recesses of the web's domain,A wanderer found a drive of silver hue,Where secrets of a twisted mind remain,And strange, corrupted files are brought to view.The posters gather in a frantic state,To pierce the veil of what the code implies;Some warn of curses and a bitter fate,While others claim it's merely clever lies."Unzip the folders!" cries the eager crowd,"Show us the horrors that the shadows keep!"Yet paranoia wraps them like a shroud,Lest viruses into their systems creep.A modern mystery in digital text,They argue on, uncertain what comes next.the plot twist is using Gemini
