xmas.rip is done, hope you had a fun time! The code and configs are now public: github.com/takeshixx/adve… #xmas See you in 2021! 🥳

I moved the DPRK Tech blog to dprktech.adversec.com, dprktech.info is now registered by an email address from Boosty Labs. They just cloned the page and added links to their site. What a scummy company.

Here's @wired on a new report today by myself and Niklaus Schiess and ERNW on North Koreans attacking state information controls. wired.com/story/north-ko…

Too many people dismiss North Koreans as Stalinist drones. But fascinating research shows a small, emerging hacker culture: "a step up in .. aggressiveness shown by citizens." Great work from Martyn Williams; Niklaus Schiess; ERNW. lumen.global/reveal-report

My latest North Korea research with Martyn Williams is now publicly available: lumen.global/reveal-report Also added it to the DB: dprktech.adversec.com/post/project-r…

38 North Fellow Martyn Williams and ERNW Senior Analyst Niklaus Schiess wrote a report examining the cat and mouse game between the #DPRK and its citizens and how smartphones have proven a particularly difficult technology for the state to control. bit.ly/3L6n3Up

Kleber is going offline at the end of the year. gg

Latest versions of statically compiled binaries: - Nmap v7.93SVN (github.com/takeshixx/stat…) - OpenSSH v9.1p1 (github.com/takeshixx/stat…) - Socat v1.7.4.4 (github.com/takeshixx/stat…) All three use testssl.sh's openssl-1.0.2.bad (github.com/drwetter/opens…)

Kleber is gone. And so it went open source after all: github.com/takeshixx/kleb… Maybe one day I’ll be bored enough to rewrite it in Rust? 🤷‍♀️

In case you missed our report launch on digital surveillance in #NorthKorea, the video is available on the event page and on the Stimson Center’s YouTube channel. The new report by Martyn Williams and Natalia Slavney can be found here: bit.ly/3Jk5iSX

If you ever come across a #TACACS daemon (TCP/49) running on Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD, there is a good chance it is affected by this: tac_plus pre auth remote command execution (CVE-2023-45239): github.com/facebook/tac_p… In case you use this, you should checkout the fix!

Microsoft's Recall is pretty late to the party. North Korean devices have been screenshotting everything you are doing for over 10 years already 🙃 Microsoft don't be like the #DPRK.
