in Resources/Shared/Components/CodeEditor/mode/brainfuck
Contains brainfuck.js and an html file.

I'm kinda curious, what this is and if it is someone's joke? Thanks

It is part of DNN - for sure: Dnn.Platform/DNN Platform/Website/Resources/Shared/components/CodeEditor/mode/brainfuck at develop · dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform (github.com) - so this is not an indication that you've been hacked.

Sorry, I have no idea what it is for and why it is in DNN, but hopefully someone here is able to answer that question. I suspect it has something to do with the Persona Bar, but this is a shot in the dark.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

I was wondering if the repository had been hacked OR maybe I won some kind of Easter egg contest.

That file is included as part of the CkEditor that is used for HTML content editing. By default it provides support for multiple languages. I'm going to review the inclusions here to see if it really makes sense to keep that in.

Funny post, but it is a real programming language, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

I don't think anybody in his right mind would ever use it but it probably came as a bundle with other languages support.
