To everyone wondering why a 6yo trojan is still so used it is because Zeus source code was fully released/leaked and it's been used ever since to build new and improved variants like Ice IX, Gameover, Citadel, etc
- freehunter 13y agoYeah, the article's assertion that whitehats are losing because criminals still use malware is kind of odd. The age of the malware doesn't matter if this version is only a couple months, weeks, or days old.
- rfnslyr 13y agoWhere can I learn more about virus architecture/blackhat in general? Are there any defacto communities out there for this sort of thing? Just curious.
- chm 13y agoI would suspect communities concerned with illegal activities and state-of-the-art (0-day) code not to be easily accessible. There must be some on TOR.
- peterwwillis 13y agoIt's pretty trivial to work your way into the community. Botherders and most small-time blackhats are incredibly gullible and egocentric. Here is some forum history: http://www.zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=177743 http://www.zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=177743
- wyck 13y agoHacking has existed since before the internet was invented. In general you want to do a lot of reading on TCP/IP, operating systems and programming languages. There are literally tons of whitepapers about security. Blackhat communities are either very private or full of script kiddies.
