Показать описание
For the last 6 years my colleagues and I have been tracking the activities of the cyber-mercenaries we call Dark Caracal. In this time we have observed them make a number of hilarious mistakes which have allowed us to gain crucial insights into their activities and victims. In this talk we will discuss the story of Dark Caracal, the mistakes they have made, and how they have managed to remain effective despite quite possibly being the dumbest APT to ever exist.

Honestly the best compliment for a podcast like darknet Diaries is that real it experts listen to it

I was waiting so eagerly for this one to be posted. Ever since I saw the EFF deeplinks post about it, the title had amused me so much that I knew I wanted to learn more. Was not disappointed, I enjoyed the ride!

in Russian "bandook" means racketeer, mugger, hooligan, etc. Basically a criminal prone to violent crimes.
Would be written as "бандюк"

Pallas Cat is NOT another name for a Caracal, they are ENTIRELY different cats, in territory, in appearance, and in behavior.

2:44 "...escaping to Russia to get a little bit more freedom - ha, ha, ha" - I wonder if Snowden and Assange would find it funny...

Kazakhstan has some crazy "monuments" consisting of phallic symbols and a 5 pointed star with a barbecue joint inside. They serve barbecue ala "Fried Green Tomatoes" style.

I'm having a freaky Mandela effect type moment right now because I feel like I've watched this all the way through before but it was posted 10 days ago and I have not watched any defcon content in the past month

The next battle may be secure operating systems and hardware. Capability systems that allow for easy control and auditing of security decisions need to find their way into the mainstream.

Pallas cat (manul) and caracal are entirely different species. Someone must've gotten confused :v

I think they rather sell subcontracting for Conti ransomware than aim primarily for using Conti against political targets..
