- hexman 5y ago... DilDog is this you?
- loxias 5y agoIf yoU were a teenager at the right time, the L0pht, et al. were crUcial in nUdging the next decades of yoUr life. I'm sUre I'm not alone in having fond memories seeing this. :) PS: (2 decades since Boston madness!)
- mydeskistoosm 5y agoyou're doing something neat with your Us but I, unfortunately, came of age after lots of the cool times were over. All the hackers got jobs in industry and it feels like if I poke anything that isn't hackthebox I'll either A. have the FBI up my ass immediately or worse, B. have created a record somewhere of having committed one felony or another that will appear at an appropriate time for someone else and inappropriate time for me.
- baremetal 5y agoset up your own testing environments.
- arendtio 5y agoAs long as your country allows you to even own the tools...
- dpwm 5y agoWhich countries don’t?
- arendtio 5y agoI have no idea about the global situation, but in Germany there was a lot of discussion when they introduced §202c StGb 15 years ago. - https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/08/new_german_hack.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/08/new_german_ha... - https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__202c.html https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__202c.html However, it seems it is not about owning the tools, but rather about creating them.
- DeathArrow 5y agoYou've surely heard about Tor, socks proxies, VPNs, SSH tunnels.
- lazide 5y agoBut which ones are really setup by the NSA to get said evidence that will be inconvenient for him at some point in the future? (I suspect Tor, and at least a few of the commercial VPN providers)
- hungrigekatze 5y agoSome recent news out of the commercial VPN universe... From a cryptographer professor at Johns Hopkins: https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/1449356742689689604 https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/14493567426896896... Kape, an Israeli 'adware' company that renamed itself to distance itself from its prior history as an adware company, recently bought up ExpressVPN and several other services and rebranded itself as a VPN services company. Kape also bought VPN ranking websites and juiced the rankings (into positions #1 and #2) for the VPN companies that it just bought: https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-technologies-owns-expressvpn-cyberghost-pia-zenmate-vpn-review-sites/ https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-technologies-owns-expressvpn... I suspect that Kape is probably a CryptoAG repeat - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG - and is doing double duty for the US IC along with the Israelis, but it could be just a pure Israeli shop too.
- DeathArrow 5y agoIt might be true. But what if you chain multiple defenses, each one in states that do not get well with each other? Every investigation will need collaboration.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoIt all changed after the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) passed in 1986. Before that, there were no federal crimes against hacking. I don’t remember any state statutes, either, but there may have been some scattered around here and there. My state certainly did not have any or I’d have been in “juvi”.
- arminiusreturns 5y agoThanks cDc for being an inspiration all my years of computing.
