North Korea doesn't use their own IPs to execute heists. They go on work trips to HK or Eastern China and set up a proxy chain that culminates with the iot lightbulb in your grandpa's garage as the exit node.
I'm going to take this opportunity to shill gost, an amazing tool (https://github.com/go-gost/gost https://github.com/go-gost/gost). Can someone tell me why Go is so popular in Chinese dev circles?
- thakoppno 4y ago> iot lightbulb in your grandpa's garage as the exit node Obvious hyperbole and all, but just how much data is transmitted to accomplish a sophisticated nation-state level attack? I’d believe a regular laptop is sufficient but not a lightbulb. Then again, if it’s only a matter of 100KB, then maybe a lightbulb makes sense.
- pseudo0 4y agoConsumer routers are a shitshow when it comes to CVEs and updates. Someone who gets on an IoT device can often pivot to the router or something else vulnerable on the network. Also command and control and data theft can happen through different channels. Command and control typically has very low bandwidth requirements.

Here is the english readme: https://github.com/go-gost/gost/blob/master/README_en.md https://github.com/go-gost/gost/blob/master/README_en.md ... and here is a better page: https://gost.run/en/ https://gost.run/en/ It seems to have a rich feature set ... can you elaborate on why you like this tool so much ?
