asciilifeform: ianal, but the legalistic talmudism (talmudic legalism?) under which the fl folks are being charged, was something more like 'sold ammo to fella who spoke of his criminal plan' rather than 'sold ammo to fella who turned out to be criminal'
mircea_popescu: in any case : the front against the usg in the cyber world is only going to strengthen the way it's going. within a decade we will see full area denial in the sense that no govt anything will still run online. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "the victims" aka government agents, who both provide the holes and the payments, are a-ok.
mircea_popescu: how about that ?
mircea_popescu: "By selling bitcoins to the victims, the FBI, notably, holds Murgio responsible for enabling the criminals responsible for the attacks to receive the proceeds of their crimes."
mircea_popescu: but they propose the gun shop owner did somethingwrong.

mircea_popescu: the sold bitcoin to some derps who needed it to pay cryptolocker.
mircea_popescu: they sold the fucking crown AGENT water to drink.

mircea_popescu: "Additionally, the FBI said that the Murgio sold bitcoins to victims of ransomware attacks such as Cryptowall. " << yeah, like various USG offices, including if memory serves a sherrif. i suppose this is now a crime, right ? selling bitcoin to the derps. them using public funds to pay the ransom IS FINE!
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo "Yet, in the situation where the very fabric and reliability of the Internet at large is threatened it is no one prerogative care that they are offering on open Denial of Service attack amplifier on their connection." i think you accidentally a verb.
mircea_popescu: of course, this looks a lot more like someone not knowing their way around a netstat dump than a legitimate thing. because i don't imagine torrents work so that a computer ever advertises itself as localhost.
mircea_popescu: epic lol of all time.
mircea_popescu: ly doing so from the same machine used detect and prepare a report on infringement for Universal."
mircea_popescu: "On the 15th of this month Universal Pictures France filed a takedown request with Google (archived) demanding they remove from results sites hosting or linking pirated copies of Jurassic World.

Rattray and his boss, Jim Cummings, a former head of the U.S. Air Force’s cyber-combat unit, were the chief advocates of the theory that the Russian government was involved in the breach"
mircea_popescu: herp. fancy this : governments currently confuse individuals for governments now.
mircea_popescu: The two are also identified in a previously unreported FBI memo that connects them to the investigation of the hack of JPMorgan as well as to incidents at Fidelity Investments Ltd. and E*Trade Financial Corp. JPMorgan officials argued initially that one of the largest U.S. bank hacks in history was the work of the Russian government."
mircea_popescu: "Though these are separate cases, some of the individuals are linked.

mircea_popescu: i guess it's the fate of the aspiring 14% to never know what actually sunk their decade of effort.
mircea_popescu: too bad for him, he put all this effort into writing a neat article in the hopes of maybe impressing people, he's almost there and then he shoots his sale in the head with stupid associations like that.
mircea_popescu: and guess what... "Vlad likes long romantic walks on the beach, e-mail him sweet nothings to vlad@tsyrklevich.net using his gpg key." links to keybase.
mircea_popescu: they had to pick between opening webcam studio, call center or "security firm" and not able to find the female lips of either kind for either of the first two settled on what sweaty balls could do.
mircea_popescu: i would say Vlad Tsyrklevich thoroughly vindicates my side in the original discussio re these schmucks.
mircea_popescu: geniuses over there.
mircea_popescu: was unable to turn this into a working exploit. It was discovered in October of 2013 and VUPEN used the same bug to win Pwn2Own in May of 2014."
mircea_popescu: "Fuzzer results: Though Rosario's fuzzers found numerous crashing test cases, like most fuzzer outputs few of them appeared exploitable. One of the first crashes that looked exploitable was an IE10 memory corruption that was patched within a week of its discovery. Soon after, Rosario found a Firefox crash that looked exploitable but only appeared to occur under memory pressure. Despite months of analysis, Hacking Team

mircea_popescu: fucktards. how about that ?

mircea_popescu: "Hacking Team's CTO claimed that VUPEN “burned” their (presumably unsold) vulnerabilities after a set period of time to move the exploit market; putting their deployments in jeopardy." doh.
mircea_popescu: s, like Gamma International and NSO Group, prominently advertised their 0day capabilities, forcing Hacking Team to be defensive with prospective customers."
mircea_popescu: "As a result, their 0day providers tended to be small and unestablished. Some established exploit vendors, like VUPEN and COSEINC, did offer to sell Hacking Team exploits, but they were predominantly overpriced, second-rate, and not even 0day. As a result, Hacking Team was seriously exploit supply constrained because they had difficulty finding suppliers that they deemed reliable and reasonably priced. Their competitor
