Darknet Demystified - E002 - Google Alerts, ChatGPT Malware, Feds get owned, BART cops get hacked

In this video, we dive deeply into information gathering and online security. We discuss configuring your information gathering using tools like Google Alerts, and RSS feeds. We explore the often overlooked issue of federal government trash OpSec and the consequences that can arise from poor online security practices.

Another good episode. I had it on in the background while I was doing some work emails. One comment I'd like to make, and this is more of an observation in general but in reference to what you mentioned about the weak passwords in governments as it relates to taking pride/ownership. I think the way how we treat/train OPSEC in the work place is very different than how "criminals" treat OPSEC. In the work place (public or private), when there is a security breach, employees are trained and taught that it's a very bad thing and that there are rules and procedures in place that we have to go through blah blah blah. Depending on the severity of the breach, "bad things" will happen. In most instances, most people just ignore it because they just treat it like a parent telling you "eat your vegetables or you don't get dessert." A few will listen but even those that do, they don't really understand the severity of the issue in that there is a very good possibility that not only will they lose their job, but the company will fold and they will have ruined the lives of not just themselves but their fellow employees, not including the lives of customers. OPSEC, for criminals, literally mean the possibility of the end of their livelihood because they know that it is very much a part of doing business to evade from the prying eyes of Uncle Sam and nosey neighbors that may or may not report you to the HOA or the non-emergency 911 because your dog likes to poop on your neighbors rose garden. Blending in, staying under the radar, and anything and everything to keep a low profile is the name of the game because your ability to operate rest entirely on how well you can conceal yourself. For a lot of folks in the west, their work is just that, work: a means to collect a pay check. A lot of people do not take ownership of their work, no matter how level they are and that an unfortunate general philosophy/perception of work here in the west. In the east, especially in Japan and Taiwan, the philosophy is to take pride and ownership of the work, regardless of how level it is. Even the lowly bathroom cleaner at the airport take pride because to them, that is their domain. They are responsible for that area and that is why you often find a lot of people that work in these perceived "low level" dirty jobs to be in their 50s or 60s. To them, it's not just a livelihood but it is a literal part of them. That kind of dedication, loyalty, is very hard to find here in the west and also hard to cultivate because we're taught to always seek advancement and to always better ourselves. Not that it's a bad thing to always better ourselves but what is your mindset of hiring someone if you know they are going to bail on you in 18 to 24 months, or worse, jeopardize your entire operation because the grass is greener elsewhere... 😕

[@Sam_Bent]

This was insightful, so responding in order: 1. Totally get (and agree) with the statements regarding the differences between criminal and civilian opsec/infosec. What do you think would be the most effective means at getting individuals in a company excited about participating in these things, as opposed to being as you said seeing it as a authority figure finger waving? 2. I think you pretty much answered the above question with the second and third paragraph, but you have some great points and insights so I did not delete my prior (#1) question.

[@nexusyang4832]

@@Sam_Bent I am not sure how we can cultivate a culture of taking ownership... I think we used to hear that phrase but to be honest it isn't' something that you hear a lot of these days and instead of taking ownership, we've actually accelerated and enforced the culture of "cover your ass" because we have become a very litigious society. When people are constantly trying to cover their ass, the last thing they would mentally want to do is take ownership of anything because effectively it would mean they are responsible and covering your ass is about minimizing your risk and making sure that ultimately when shit hits the fan, no one wants to be the last one getting on a life raft. To answer your question on how to get people excited about OPSEC? I am not sure... A side of me almost wish we need to do the opposite. Instead of getting people excited about OPSEC, we probably need to scare people straight. But I'm not exactly sure if that's such a good idea either because that rabbit hole may not be something people are ready to travel down....

Thanks, you're a real asset to community 💕

[@mannhugh359]

Thank you so much for making these videos, you're by far the most underrated KZbinr I know

[@Sam_Bent]

Thank you for that a big part of what keeps me going is the positive and encouraging feedback that I constantly get from people here in the youtube community.

[@DrJekyll77]

Just found your podcast through Rhysider and I'm currently going through your playlists blitzed out of my skull on shrooms needless to say I'm dying laughing especially about the tractor 🚜 at the end 😂 that was epic

[@Sam_Bent]

Glad to hear the trip is a positive one! :)

[@Blizzarduss]

Awesum info. Btw, check Skotty Kilmer's vid bout cop fords, groundup different vehicles. Still agree your notion.

[@egoten5578]

Loved this one!!! I realize that there's only a certain audience that this type of content speaks to, or that comprehend it well enough, but Sam is low-key one of the funniest people on the internet! 🤣

I'm digging these podcast

[@naesone2653]

I love your channel man great stuff thank you

[@Tor010]

Love all this, its very interesting & i want too take it up as a hobby. I have about 20 Linux Distros and its overwhelming!! Apart from Tails, Parrot & Ubuntu.. -which one would you recommend to a new Linux user, one that has top-end user privacy/cracking/hacking etc, but one that isn't too overwhelming please. Cheers bud, from 🇬🇧

[@Sam_Bent]

Mint for every day use, definitely. Kali for hacking. Tails for privacy. or Prestium

[@Tor010]

@DoingFedTime Thanks for the reply, i have most these Image files/distros all on a single USB using Ventoy. I have problems with the resolution on Prestium, but im looking into it for the i2p built in aspect. Thanks. Just one last thing please, I just downloaded BlackArchLinux -Full version (15gb) live USB, with over 2.3k tools..!! I've put it in a drawer for now as im a new user & that looks highly interesting but incredibly daunting!! Am i right? EDIT: i have a PDF guide to BlackArch & its HUGE! lol 😆 all fun n games isn't it...??!!✌️

Q: Did you ever encounter another tech/computer enthusiast with similar levels of knowledge/understanding while in prison that wasn't a punk?

[@Sam_Bent]

Yes. A guy with a massive fraud case. He ran a multimillion dollar credit card scam. For months we talked and he taught me a lot. I tried to teach him, but aside from a few things about the darknet, I couldn't find shit to teach him, that he did not already know (which he would confirm via conversation). All in all about 15 people had told on him, he was the head of the conspiracy too. At the end of the day, they smoked him with a 20+ year bid, for an ultimately nonviolent crime. I'm not a fan of fraud but I think that sentences like that are a bit excessive. They shipped him to a really bad medium. He was a complete nerd BEFORE he went there. Now, he is a convict. The difference between a convict and an inmate is MASSIVE.

[@nexusyang4832]

Kind of reminds me of the line from Shawshank: Andy Dufresne: Yeah. The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.

Make a discord

[@condescendingonlineman2136]

I disagree, discord is one massive honeypot, it would be like saying that you care about securing people’s privacy and anonymity, and then afterwards promoting your facebook account.
