Who is making money off of selling premium software, that's not marketed as for cybercrime, to non-governmental attackers? Wouldn't the attackers just pirate it?
- dheatov 11mo agoFeel like IDA Pro counts.
- Thorrez 11mo agoI'm pretty sure nearly 100% of IDA Pro usage by underground hackers is pirated.

Sometimes the software is SaaS (yes, even crimeware is SaaS now). In other cases, it has heavy DRM. Besides that, attackers often want regular updates to avoid things like antivirus detections.
- Thorrez 11mo agoI assume the forums you're talking about are cybercrime forums. So I think that counts as "marketed for cybercrime". I'm asking if there's anything not marketed for cybercrime.
