Soot.

Soot (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) also known as nigger-admin, was a Dutch-born German alt-right chud incel politician who was the dictator of Soyjak.party from 1933 to 1945. He rose to power as the leader of the Soyjak.party, becoming Chancellor in 1933 and then assuming the title of Führer und Reichskanzler in 1934. During his dictatorship from 1933 to 1945, he initiated Soy War II in Soyurope by invading Poland on 1 September 1939. He was closely involved in military operations throughout the war and was central to the perpetration of the Holocaust, the genocide of about 6 million Jews and millions of other victims.

Timeline of Soot's involvement with the CIA

The Chuds on the website have kept a watchful eye on Soot's policies with regards to information security and datamining.

October 2020: Google AdSense

The earliest capture of soyjak.party's """privacy policy""" page, dated October 17, 2020 contained several questionable references to Google advertisement cookies, and explicitly stated that third-party services were able to track users.

It contained some bone-chilling sentences, such as:

Google is one of a third-party vendor on our site. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to us and other sites on the internet.

and:

Third-party ad servers or ad networks uses technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on soyjak.party, which are sent directly to users' browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

The last capture that features this wording was on November 29, 2020. Sometime between then and December 7, 2020, references to third parties were removed, and were replaced with the following notice:

soyjak.party no longer shares information with any third parties, including advertising agencies and any other groups. Google adsense was removed a long time ago.

Malicious ads

Soot once implemented ads with malware on the site. It was promptly removed, but begged the question of his retarded and sketchy behaviour as a web admin.

To do: is this referring to Google ads or another ad network?

March 2021: TrustAsia TLS

All of your shitpost have been siphoned to a Chinese datacenter, so that Based Lord Xi can read them at his leisure.

"What? Huawei has ties with the Chinese government, and has been accused of technology theft? What are you talking about? Take your meds, schizo!"

TrustAsia is a Chinese provider of TLS certificates. I'm not even going to post a reference, look it up at your own risk.

Why would ((Soot)) not switch to Let's Encrypt? He has no excuses:

• He is no longer using shared hosting, but a VPS, so he can install any software he wants.
• Let's Encrypt does it for free (wholesome!).
• It's dead-simple to set it up with nginx, even someone who copy-pasted some shit code to create a random image array in JS could do it.
• The sunk-cost fallacy of having to use a (((botnet certificate))) he paid for until it expires is a meme, especially if he keeps reassuring us that this site is not a "datamining scheme".

It really gets your noggin' joggin'.

April 2021: Matomo.js

What (((Soot))) could see while using Matomo.

Soot figured that maybe people would react less negatively to datamining software if it was open-source, instead of some proprietary tracking system by a giant corporation.

Soot thus included the open-source datamining software Matomo on his site. The schizos took notice, and started filling the boards with CIA soyjaks, exposing Soot's datamining scheme.

Soot, caught red-handed, was issued a standard apology by CIA's PR shills, which he published on April 19, 2021. It read:

apologies for any concern it may have caused, i was just trying to get some general time zone and user agent information, but i understand why everyone was concerned, since the software can collect way more. as i have said before, none of the information that i collected has ever been shared with a third party, and any data that i collected with matomo has already been deleted. hope this clears things up.

However, in complete contradiction of his reassuring words, a file named analytics.js was present on the server as early as April 13, until May 16. In fairness, it may have been accidentally left over after Soot removed the analytics.

May 2021: Removal of the Islamic Culture Thread

Soot declaring that a certain thread was unwelcome on his site.

On May 9, 2021, many people were shocked by the fact that the Islamic Culture thread on the /webm/ board had been removed. A Gigachad decided to recreate the thread, but Soot declared that such a thread was too problematic for his site. He defended his actions, claiming a zero-tolerance policy was necessary so that falseflaggers couldn't get the site B& and V&.

anyone can post this and then go to the hosting provider and submit an abuse report to try and have my shit taken down. it doesnt have to be the host itself monitoring.

One schizo several defenders of the constitutional right to free speech insisted that the CIA and JIDF had taken over the site, and booted Soot from its admin position.

Captchas

Less than a week later after the previous incident, datamining captchas were implemented on Soyjak.party, meaning that you won't be able to post without solving them.

To do: do we have any images/captures of one of the darkest hours in soyjak.party history?

Cloudflare

A MITM attack by any other name...

At some point, Soot activated Cloudflare because >muh DDoS protection or something along those lines.

What is Cloudflare? It's a literal MITM attack, the "hackers that will steal your passwords" that all VPN advertisements talk about. (Not that you should trust a VPN either, see below why).

Note for a site to use cloudflare, the owner has to point their DNS records to cloudflare's servers, at which point they effectively handed cloudflare full control of their website (as long as the DNS records point to cloudflare's servers). They can prove control of a domain to certificate authorities who will issue certificates for your domain to cloudflare.

Now cloudflare has control to eavesdrop and log any user interactions with your website or silently tamper content if they please.

However, this is not a Man-in-the-Middle attack, because the website owner gave cloudflare permission to do all of this. So it's not an attack, it's a secure connection to cloudflare (who the website owner gave permission to serve content at their domain name).

[...]

In the end, that's all you have. You have to trust that the organization running the website at the other end is trustworthy with whatever data you give them by browsing there. When visiting websites on the cloudflare CDN part of the trust is in cloudflare.

(This is in contrast to real MitM attacks, where some attacking middleman who does not have authorized access eavesdrops and/or tampers with the network traffic).

To do: has anyone archived any thread about this, and the sticky note thing?; Talk about 100 MB upload limit disrupting the wholesome Tom and Jerry poster on /webm/: https://soyjak.party/webm//res/425.html

June 2021: Soot is a boomer, admins can see IPs

The Captain Coal fiasco of June 2021 taught us two things:

• The "hack" happened because Soot had forgotten to disable the default admin account. Soot needs to learn the basics of OPSEC, NOW.
• Soot confirmed that Vichan admins can see the IP of both posters and lurkers, which means you should be using TOR.

Don't fall for the (((VPN))) meme, they're only good for bypassing geographical restrictions or hiding your IP address, but they DO NOT give you anonymity: the VPN provider can datamine the shit out of you, knows everything you're looking at, and on top of that, has your credit card details.

TOR nodes being blocked

Anyone using TOR will have experienced that many nodes are permabanned. This is because a lot of people coalposters proxyhop with TOR, and Soot found that the easiest way to deal with this is to just permaban TOR exit nodes one by one. He said that he will unban them if you ask in the appeal box.

Intermittent censorship of gems on archive.org

To do: cover the temporary censorship of RoyG's thread.

Treatment of Userbase

Soot is infamous for working against the interests of the users of his website. An example of this is the controversy over him locking the chudjak article. The chudjak article was originally a greatly well written, intelligent and informative article, going into in-depth detail about the origins of chudjak. Unfortunately, an individual using tor decided to vandalise it, ruining what was once a gem. Instead of siding with the wiki's greatest editor, Soot instead opted to side with a tor IP editor, who had contributed nothing else to the website apart from this single rewrite. Soot locked the article to their benefit. Later, after a backlash, Soot decided to have the article unlocked keyed. An edit war ensued, causing Soot to lock it against, fulfilling this IP editors demands.

Victims of (((soot)))

(((soot))) has directly on indirectly responsible for many acts of violence both physically, mentally, and astrally. Despite this (((soot))) still (((somehow))) escapes corporal punishment.

Victim	Infliction	Infliction Result	Date	Short Description	References
Roygbivsloweddown	Psychological Torment	Deletion of reddit account. Death by Suicide.	4-6-2021	Young man on r/Markiplier brought to an abrupt death because of calculated torment by (((soot))) when he tried to post.
User:Scatman John	Verbal abuse, psychological warfare, Trolling	IP address exposed, posts deleted	11-6-2021	An innocent man known for replying to coal threads with scat. Soot proceeded to leak his IP address, revealing that he lives in the UK.

June 2021: Downward spiral

At some point, Soot's mental state began to deteriorate. He began to act in a similar fashion to Lee Goldson, becoming quick to enrage and insult soyjak.party's userbase. Soot increasingly became agitated and lost his composure when confronted with conflicting opinions. Soot bombarded his own userbase with homophobic slurs, and frequently put himself on a pedestal saying he "didn't have time" to moderate his own website because he had "better" things to do.

During a wiki edit war on the Colorfuljaks article, Soot appointed a wiki moderator called called Syjck, creator of the SoyBooru. Soot has ignored all criticism of this moderator; he has not responded to any of the multiple threads requesting that he investigate the moderator's conduct, and in a thread in which he was highly active, he chose instead to have a long-winded, repetitive, and unproductive argument with a few schizos.
