From the top of the article: > We want to thank Citizen Lab for sharing a sample of the FORCEDENTRY exploit with us, and Apple’s Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) group for collaborating with us on the technical analysis. This reminded me that NSO went after Citizen Lab on multiple fronts. They even tried to use a spy to talk to JSR (https://www.johnscottrailton.com https://www.johnscottrailton.com) and make him say controversial things, which could be later used to malign Citizen Lab. Darknet Diaries covered this incident recently: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/99/ https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/99/

  I'd assume they're using the Erik Prince/Constellis business model, taking some time off and getting the band back together under a different name to do the same work.

    I think when you are providing such a valuable service, there is almost zero chance they just stop.

      Yep. The way I think about it in mainstream terms is, "Jeffrey Epstein's clients didn't just stop wanting what he was providing, someone took his place. Who is that?"

I literally just listened to this episode today. Some crazy stuff.

The transcript is such an intriguing read. You don't expect these things to happen in real life, but yet here they are, tie-cameras, pen recorders, driving circles around the block and all.

  100% with you on this one. My life feels so boring in comparison!

Darknet Diaries is so good. To anyone who hasn't listened, highly recommend. Jack hits a homerun each week and the story about JSR and NSO was buck wild

  yeah it really is refreshing to hear a podcast for the masses that actually gets technical details correct. It's a pet peeve when people simplify it and get it really wrong.

    He sometimes messes up the small details, but frankly they’re tiny enough that it doesn’t destroy the overall experience

  Jack is awesome. Btw, I must give credit to many in the HN community who have recommended this podcast so many time in various threads. On my own I would have never found it.
- GekkePrutser 5y ago
  I wish they would write articles too.. I don't have the patience to listen to podcasts :) But I've been told it's really good.
