DON'T GET HACKED Using Stable Diffusion Models! DO This NOW!

We recently got a cool trend in the Stable Diffusion community where basically everyday we get plenty of super cool models trained with Dreambooth by the community but is this completely safe? Can downloading these models actually get your computer hacked? So in this prevention/tutorial video, I will explain what is a pickle and what is unpickling, how to be safe when downloading these models, and also I will show you how to download and install 2 security pickle scanners so that you can scan every model you download in search for malicious codes. Be safe people!

Have ever downloaded from a shady website? Let me know in the comments!

Finally, someone addresses the security concerns. THANK YOU.

[Firespark]

Known about this for a little over a week now. This is a big deal and I have not seen anyone else make a video about it. Thanks for bringing awareness. Be safe everyone its a jungle out there.

I'll just wait for other people in the community to verify a new checkpoint is safe before downloading it. There's no way popular checkpoints won't be scrutinized

[mjdevlog]

Thank you K! Finally someone explains the pickle scanner thing to the average consumer coz the github page for all of them are just confusing.

And the final and most important layer...
1.-Never run untrusted software out of a virtual machine, or...
2.-Never run untrusted software on your personal PC.
If you abide by these rules, you'll be safe.

Thanks for teaching us about pickles!! 😁 Its really good info that Huggingface has the option to check the models and scans them beforehand...did not know about it before!! Thanks for the info!! 😇

Unsafe pickles is why I have been too paranoid to actually download any new models

[st.michaelthearchangel]

Really sad that people will live as scumbag scammers, trying to steal and lie from people.

Thanks for making this video.

[GamingDaveUK]

Had no idea the models could even be dangerious! thank you for teh ways to check them

[DjSligs]

This might be the most important video yet, thank you so much <3

[jenerub]

Damn man, I hadn't even thought about that. Thanks for teaching us about this

[djzigoh]

Thanks for the video, as fas as i know this is why safetensor format was put into place . From their Github: "This repository implements a new simple format for storing tensors safely (as opposed to pickle) and that is still fast".

Thanks so much, its like you see all, i was wondering about this issue and even tried for myself, glad i was at least moving in the right direction

It was inevitable, with how ground breaking this technology is it would make sense (from a cyber criminal's PoV) to target open source AI. Years ago when I was volunteering at a computer repair shop (mid 2000s) we used to recommend people used Apple products (heresy I know), as few enough people were using it it didn't make sense for criminals to write malware for it rather than the widespread windows market, however as more people started adopting Apple products the the very obscurity that obscured them for the longest time was no longer applicable, that and how expensive they are started making them a target as they had not only the numbers but also the demographic cyber criminals were after.
Basically we have the (largely) same thing here, an insanely popular field of software that everyone is installing makes a great vector to infiltrate people hopping in to the AI craze, and the open nature of open-source makes it as easy to proliferate as it is to patch.

Part of basic computer security is not using one PC for every task, or at minimum not using one OS installation or instance for every task.
If nothing important lives on one's toy machine (or virtual machine) that OS install is safely expendable. Hardware is cheap at a level useful for shopping and communication and one can remote into those boxes while using their gaming/toy PC for toy uses.

Thank you - new subscriber here! The thought occurred to me, but you really helped bring to light these security concerns! I hope others will see this video, and become aware of the potential dangers.

You red my mind... I was just looking into pickles myself... Now I am hungry...
