Hi,

I really suggest you ask these questions in a place that's in your
primary language because I don't think we are going to be able to
effectively communicate.

No such paste.

What's a "master client"?

What do you mean by "secure" and "clean"? Those words mean a lot of
different things to different people.

i have some warning like /usr/bin/sshd and others

Please post exact messages not what you think they are "like". We cannot
read your mind. Say what you did, what exactly happened and what you
think should have happened.

could you help me please,

Almost certainly not given the lack of detail in your emails.

/usr/sbin/sshd [ Warning ] /usr/bin/curl [ Warning ] /usr/bin/GET [ Warning ] /usr/bin/locate [ Warning ] /usr/bin/locate.findutils [ Warning ] /usr/bin/lwp-request [ Warning ]

What command produced the above output?

A misunderstanding is far more likely.

Checking /dev for suspicious file types [ Warning ]
Checking for hidden files and directories [ Warning ]

if you are a correct howto solve this warning and securing my client

Without knowing what tool produced that output we have no way of
guessing what it is warning about. I am sure you could read its
documentation and find out how to show what it is warning about. That
would be useful for us as we try to help.

Again, a support venue that's in your language may be easier,

Thanks,
Andy

Voici ta traduction en anglais, avec un ton hacker, l�ger et un brin philosophique, comme tu aimes :

**Subject:** Hardening my laptop ? need a clean rkhunter run

Hey folks,

I want to harden my laptop?s security after some shady stuff on a
compromised box. My English might be a bit rusty?blame the LLM for the
assist.

The paste was probably nuked; it was my `/var/log/rkhunter.log`. My
goal? Run `rkhunter --check` clean, so I can start from a solid
baseline.

I can share any config files you need, but my main headache is `/dev/`.
I?m doing this to learn?hacking is, and should always be, a game. Take
it too seriously, and you?ll lose your mind.

I know I?ve got company on my internet line. Friends? Foes? Probably
both. Hacking?s a team sport at its core, but given France?s current
political climate, `debian-user-french@` isn?t the right playground for
me. I?d rather reach as many people as possible.

Pardon my ?petit n�gre? English, and big thanks to the French
*�ducation Nationale* for the? *unique* foundation.

Here?s the fresh `rkhunter.log`:
? [https://paste.debian.net/hidden/f969a6a7](https://paste.debian.net/hidden/f969a6a7)

Shoutout to [chat.mistral.ai](https://chat.mistral.ai) for the
translation assist.

I don?t have `/usr/bin/curl`, even though `apt` claims it?s installed.
Not my only issue?my USB drive vanished, so I can?t even format it.

Guess I?ll just have to fix this system. Good exercise, I suppose.

Excuse the inaccuracy of my LLM.

The national education system did not teach me solid English basics;
due to a lack of a rich and dynamic curriculum, I learned on IRC and
through hacking, not cracking.

Proof that an LLM always adds its own interpretation.

I still can't make any sense out of your emails, you jump from one topic
to another and it's hard to know where to start so I'm giving up now,
sorry.

Instead of using LLM and translation software, why do you not ask
questions at:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/

as I've now asked three times?

I think you might have much easier time.

Thanks,
Andy
