From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh thank you so much for these instructions I'll go through them on my computer.
I indeed wanted to know if the versions were still downloadable anywhere but if you can still install the correct liblzma version on any version of the distribution that works. I tried on a Debian VM on mac but with too little knowledge and it never run the correct liblzma
xzbot from Anthony Weems enables to patch the corrupted liblzma to change the private key used to compare it to the signed ssh certificate, so adding this to your instructions might enable me to demonstrate sshing into the VM :)
Fun :)
Btw, instead of installing individual vulnerable debs as those kali instructions I linked to earlier suggest, you could also point debootstrap at the snapshot service so that you get a complete system with everything as it would've been in late March and then run that in a VM... or in a container. You can find various instructions for creating containers and VMs using debootstrap (eg, this one which tells you how to run a container with
systemd-nspawn; but you could also do it with podman or docker or lxc). When the instructions tell you to rundebootstrap, you just want to specify a snapshot URL likehttps://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20240325T212344Z/in place of the usual Debian repository url (typicallyhttps://deb.debian.org/debian/).
