DEF CON 32 - Inside the FBI’s Secret Encrypted Phone Company ‘Anom’ - Joseph Cox

Показать описание
In 2018, a secure communications app called Anom started to gain popularity among organized criminals. Soon, top tier drug traffickers were using it all over the world. Because they thought their messages were secure, smugglers and hitmen coordinated high stakes crimes across the platform. But Anom had a secret: it was secretly run by the FBI.

For years Joseph Cox has investigated the inside story of Anom, speaking to people who coded the app, those who sold it, criminals who chatted across it, and the FBI agents who surreptitiously managed it. This new talk, building on details from his recent book DARK WIRE, will include never-before-published technical details on how the Anom network functioned, how the backdoor itself worked, and how Anom grew to such a size that the FBI started to lose control of its own creation.

It will also reflect on how police have entered a new phase of compromising entire encrypted phone networks, with little to no debate from the public, and provide critical insight on what really happens when authorities introduce a backdoor into a telecommunications product.

You would think a dude explaining something with a text based powerpoint is boring. But every single time these videos of someone explaining something on a event is the most interesting stuff you heard all week.

I love that he snuck into a DOJ meeting and then bragged about it. Balls of steels.

Daily reminder that no matter how encrypted the app you're using is, big bro can read your messages from push notifications.

A fascinating story, though not at all surprising, and very well delivered with no preamble.
Thank you.

I love the part where traffickers believe their gadgets are “secure” because CAPCHA. Yeah no problem you’re 100% good to go, Pablo. That’s never not hilarious.

And they never heard from him Dude I thought I needed to be concerned for the things I've written and commented on. You bring a lack of fear and self-preservation to a whole new level. Thank you for your service, I hope my US government doesn't come after you, they're a cheeky bunch.

This is what investigators need, people who understand the secrets of computer, technology and wireless technology, to expose these criminals and government, especially in the FBI

Great presentation. Also if anyone at DEFCON reads this, I'm available as an audio engineer, those stage monitors are way too hot and could use some eq. The whole speech is on the verge of feedback.
