Russia's cyber military is James Bond level cool. There are speculations (nobody can prove it) that they set up their own TOR using onion-like proxies, with a custom crypto protocol, over Shodan-discovered endpoints, through a clever use of tunneling through UPNP systems on the internet, with incredible OPSEC - even burning the whole infrastructure several years after it was discovered.
Some day we'll get uncensored versions of these Ops disclosed by the various governments that run them and get to read about the research facilities and intense personalities that run them.

- notveryrational 8y agoSorry for the opaque comment. Was gushing over the cool exploits of the "Inception Group" or "RedOctober APT" - believed but not proven to be Russian espionage. https://www.symantec.com/blogs/threat-intelligence/inception-framework-hiding-behind-proxies https://www.symantec.com/blogs/threat-intelligence/inception... https://securelist.com/red-october-diplomatic-cyber-attacks-investigation/36740/#7 https://securelist.com/red-october-diplomatic-cyber-attacks-... James Bond level epic awesomeness and sophistication. Keep reading if you want to nerd out.
- forapurpose 8y agoI'm not sure HN is the right forum for that. Enjoy, uh, gushing.
- notveryrational 8y agoHN is for technical conversation, which includes being impressed and commenting on the state of the art. Seriously encourage reading about capabilities, especially the operations security maturity. The level of research and development is truly impressive.
- forapurpose 8y agoI think if you look around, you won't see anything like it. You don't need to repeat the 'gushing'; I read the prior two comments. But anyway, have fun.
