@@Haunting_Shadow yeah but it's a lot visual and not much content I can't figure out where they're trying to go sometimes. Going back and forth between different things... It's a matter of preference I guess.
I know nothing about hacking or writing code aside from what I’ve heard on your podcasts. Yet, I am addicted to the stories you bring us. Great work man 👍🏻👍🏻
2 visuals from this one: Dude ditching the car to run info to CERT at the last minute, and the chuckle after "If I went to the Darkside, how would you know?"
Jack, the dark side may have cookies but no other benefits. Many people working in the "protect our clients" industries have strong morals and ethics, which, as Mikko said makes the job interesting and rewarding.
I thought Mikko's voice sounded familiar. I watched one of his lectures before and was so fascinated with his history in cyber security! Thanks for another interesting episode. Stay well Jack!
We're just nerds y'all! It's not exclusive no one else cares!! Hahaha but jack is on the cutting edge I'm sure us listeners are ahead of the pack In some way
This was a fun , interesting and scary podcast to listen to . Mikko sounds like a really cool guy . I'm just glad he's on ourside for the time being. Thanks for all your great work over the years Mikko .
Thank you very much for such a quality content. Also very grateful for such wonderful guests that you have!) P.S. Its very good that SuperVillain still on the good side!)
Fascinating learning more about the history of malware. I too was a fledgling technician in the early 90s so played a small part in containing the emerging virus threats. Ambulance was my favourite.
As a person who has been through type of stuff, it's refreshing to find a fraternity of people who don't think that this type of activity isn't bat crap crazy.
Ahh, the early days. Loved the history. I was guilty of playful malware myself I guess as a kid back in the very early days. Worked with a buddy to write a tricky bit of code and sneak it into the floppy boot process. I never thought of the real world consequences of my joke until our pastor mentioned in church that his sermon prep had been interrupted by a primitive chat bot hawking market produce and refused to go away until he agreed. Seems his son, my friend, had found our first "target".
With the love bug, you have to keep in mind that at that time e-mail forwards was how jokes were sent at the time. Just like text memes are now. I recall one I got that was called "the Red Neck Virus" I saved it wanting to do a rewrite for a new joke. But the anti-virus I was using at the time grabbed the text file and quarantined it and would not let me get it. Because "virus" was in the name.
Enjoyed another great broadcast. I remember the virus , Turkey in the straw, just played the jingle, then stoped was easy to fix but you had to restart your computer. Thank you and keep up the good work
the way they enter the room is not as you describe it< there is a device that can reset any hotel room key I was working in a hotel and we did use it when we had trouble with the lock or we were sent to repair so we did use it to clean all information from it before we send it to repair and when a dore lock reset you do not need anymore a key to enter. but the old key will no more validate and open the lock
Best podcast on the internet and I'm not even in tech. But you've made me think about a career in it because of all this cool shit you teach us about. You're awesome jack. I've referred some friends and shared episodes with them. Hopefully they enjoy your pod as much as I do
Oh man, absolutely awesome video. That ending was hilarious but also left that bit of doubt... what if he has gone to the dark side and he's just a Palpatine... lol Great stuff!
Ran into a virus back then called "The Bloody" that wasn't detected by any signiture files and wiped out the mbr and that thing drove me crazy for a week!
I write trading algorithms and had been doing good for quite some time. Recently I discovered that my VNC (remote desktop) was compromised and access logs showed at least 2 addresses snooping around for a long time and coming back months later. Whilst they could only access trading platform logs and not the whole system as I only loaded basic X11 session, during this period my stats went bad and while I will never have definite proof, I'm starting to make a connection. Now I religiously monitor any connections coming in or out.
This happened to Doug Polk, very famous poker player on UA-cam. He got Phished at a hotel in Vegas. The new way to check these days is to run simulations on solvers using a gpu and Nash charts.
Im an amatuer web designer (self taught loser) and rediscovered a love of computers in the last couple years. Im by no means a hacker or a security specialist. But I have learned a ton of stuff from your show. Ive finished up with episodes before and went reading purely out of the new interests found in your podcast. I spent a night one time reading about SCADA systems even tho they have 0 to do with my life and ive probably never been in the room with one (likely never will be tbh). But thats what im saying -- its inspiring.
That was a bold attack: took down cameras, probably had security help, physically entered the room, physically injected the RAT. Several times. Incredible. The history lesson was interesting, too.
Every podcast I listen to on Spotify I always want to have a discussion with the listeners. It’s such a weird about-face from “Web 2.0” principles to not encourage a social aspect.
On Atari St, there was a virus using the floppy disk's boot sector. Called Ghost, it randomly changes your mouse's Up and Down direction. Annoying, and when you thought every floppy was virus-free, your mouse suddenly changed direction ...
Jack is such a natural story teller. Netflix and it’s ilk could use just this episode for several seasons of material, and there are so many more episodes to draw from. Of course there would have to be a femme fatale, stuff blowing up in the first few minutes, deep state actors obstructing the protagonists and credible cliff hangers at the end of each episode. A cape and a mask would be optional😎🥸
These keep getting better and better. This one is sweetness itself. What's more, as I was writing this comment, my Kindle Fire slowed down to where words appeared on the screen four seconds after I typed them... WAIT A MINUTE! Naw... it does that a lot because I didn't pay $65 for more ram.
I only heard this one now, strange, the subject of love letter was "I love you", just fyi - i remember the day , i saw the extension, so knew it was dodge - read the script - shutdown exchange
Multi accounting was not unusual in the early days of Full Tilt and PokerStars... I knew a guy who had several accounts and would play 4-8 different tables simultaneously to maximize his profit.
That reminds me of the time, when someone tried to recruit my services for a poker team which lived in a "working flat"... Back then, I thought it was silly (and turned them down), but now...
The easiest way to get into the majority of hotel room doors is by using a ID card and putting it through the door jam and pushing it just over the latch bolt. Freeing the lock from the door jamb.
I appreciate the fact that the security expert being all professional but still drops the F bomb while saying if you're a professional you don't fuck with your tools.
In my experience that’s just Finns speaking English. I remember the Hydraulic Press Channel tried being family friendly for a while but it seems they just dropped that eventually because when something crazy there is sure to be an F-bomb.
I would like to make an addendum to what the sec expert said about data fellows/f secure, do not and I mean do not take his longevity as standard. Companies do not reward loyalty with anything but a front row seat to your own firing when they "have to" "downsize".
Nice episode!! Thanks!! I work alone and listen to all kinds of things while I do. I usually listen to educational material, sometimes just Best of the Worst or Star Trek TNG episodes I have seen many times before so I don't have to see it. I also listen to radio dramas and the occasional "podcast". However today I noticed that YT had at least Beverly Hills Cop 1&2 free for premium users at least. I played them with the visually impaired feature on(by accident lol) which was kinda nice when listening to a movie even if I have seen them a few times in the past. Besides having that "do do do dotodo do do" stuck in my head I also noticed that Eddie Murphy's character is basically doing the same things that Pen Testers do in both movies! He constantly uses social engineering, lockpicks, and physical "hacks" etc. Anyway it was funny. I have been thinking about attempting to enter that industry a lot lately Thanks to your and other's videos. I know I would be good at it. At least the social engineering, entry tasks, and the creative thinking nessasary. I just have a lot more to learn about "computer hacking". I'm rather proficient with computers and hardware as I repair it in my spare time and have for a living. I just kept myself away from the hacking since I know myself well and didn't want to be tempted to do something stupid with the knowledge. However, now that I know about how it can be used for good....and not things that wpuld get me locked up, I may be willing to play catch up. In fact having not learned it traditionally/over a long time, may even give me an out of the box viewpoint that could allow me to think of ways to do things that others haven't before. Pretty much everything I have approached that way in my life has yielded such results. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration, information, and entertainment! I promise I will not turn to the Dark Side. I actually kinda hate money and don't play well with people that are obsessed with it enough to risk life, limb, or "freedom". PS Please consider looking into how Ukraine is using these technologies/techniques in their defense from putin. Unless you have already and I missed it. There is quite a backlog of episodes to catch up on and it is hard to find new ones when YT only seems to recommend things I have already listened to/watched. 🇺🇦
I had a virus years ago. It didn’t do anything malicious. It just made the floppy drive light up and made sounds like the disk was being accessed. It just liked to let you know it was there.
The employees of the hotel are not tech-savvy. Because of that, I don't think that the cameras in the hotel were damaged. The camera's data might have been redirected to the hackers instead. Meaning that, while they were going in and out of the bedroom, the hackers were seeing them. Maybe the hacker was hidden below the bed and didn't even know lol.
“As a professional, you don’t fuck around with your tools. You take good care of your tools” ❤
When I heard him say this, I actually jumped a bit as he said it so bluntly.
This is a small gem of a quote from a true professional. I'm totally stealing this 😂
All Trades
This guy is on point with that.
I live for this. No other podcast will ever compare.
Seriously it’s the best story and products wise. Glad he took a couple months off so glad to have Jack back
Disrupt is pretty decent, at least it was before some things happened with one of the employees and I believe it's going to UA-cam Red something.
@@Haunting_Shadow thanks! Will check it out

hacking is the practice of making things do things they're not designed to do
I'm in the same boat! Truly intrigued.
I have enormous respect for Mikkos lifetime of work fighting the good fight.
Or is he ????? ????

if you're working for corporate, you definitely have zero morals/ethics

The last answer Mikko gave 💥💥, "how would you know I haven't turned to the dark side 🌑🕶️". .... amazing pod
The story of Yen at the hotel in the beginning was freaky AF!!
has guts !
The end of the conversation with Mikko is plain awesome
Did I miss something ? How did the laptop end up in the possession of the hotel employees in the lobby ?
A bit of a loose end… right??

Wow, great channel. It felt like a modern version of old-time radio... Bravo.

Been around since day one, love this show

Very interesting indeed.
Good luck.

My two worlds combined! Keep it up jack
Jack - will you still release these in a podcast? I'm not getting them any more.. and miss listening to them in the car!
it's weird!... i prefer to listen to Jack on UA-cam rather than Spotify.
i got both, but here i am. i think it's the community feedback factor 🖖🏼

wow crazy !!

On gg poker to things happen to me
This episode is very good👍
As a Finn, it's interesting to hear first Finnish person in the show! 😁
Should have called the police immediately, someone in the hotel was definitely involved to some degree.
The hotel should be named so that we know who has a lax attitude to customer security.
I only heard this one now, strange, the subject of love letter was "I love you", just fyi - i remember the day , i saw the extension, so knew it was dodge - read the script - shutdown exchange

friends and relatives can also be on the phone and in the same game and tell each other stuff over the phone
I have no doubt there are online poker players who make “gangs” like this and help each other out. There is almost no way to prevent it.
