Sometimes the Best Hacking Tool Is Confidence🎙Darknet Diaries Ep. 41: Just Visiting

[@veteranmuscle]

This is 100% the start of the villain arch for the mark 😬 awesome content, as always.

[@romankorseev3703]

Oh yeah! How about some SPAM for the food bank made 100% from ground hackers? 🥪😋

[@nightfly4664]

Oh man, this is so relatable! I rolled into this field from a military background. Because I have high functioning autism, I always thought my people skills weren't great, so me doing physical pen tests as someone suggested to me because of my military background? Well, it turns out I've copied people's behaviors all my life, I've "lied" to people all my life because of that. I basically create the story in my head, and act it out. I'm somehow able to convince myself that I belong and what I'm saying is true, so I don't have the typical signs of a human being lying. I absolutely love what I do. I get to turn what is a, let's be honest here, a rather negative personality trait into something positive. PS: As many others have said, your podcasts deserve so much more attention. They are absolutely brilliant!

[@RigaDoomer]

I want to do this job and recently god diagnosed high functioning as well. This made me feel like I could do it again. Was worried I'd suck at it.

[@lylechipperson3407]

Really great you are able to have this career. However you just publicly said you are a sociopath with heavy narcissist tendancies. I'm not gonna judge you, but if you don't have children now, please don't. People like you create serial killers, sorry to say but it's true.

[@0therun1t21]

​@@RigaDoomer Have you had a chance yet? I'd love to do this too, sounds like so much fun!

[@asmaaeats]

Not Jack calling her evil every 8 minutes 😂

[@Joshuab3561]

I would probably feel like Carl after completing the job but this is necessary to full explore vulnerabilities. Thanks Jack and Carl for your I your story. Thank you Jack for bringing the story to us.

[@TT3Dxyz]

Ira Glass, that's who your voice reminds me of. I used to listen to This American Life so much in high school and your voice instantly takes me back to that. Calming and easy to listen to and the stories are so well researched. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this, and now I have 110+ podcast episodes left to listen to.

[@JackRhysider]

A few episodes I tried REALLY hard to sound like him. But trying on different voices allowed me to find my own natural voice. Took a while though!

[@adfaklsdjf]

@@JackRhysider Glad to hear you found your own voice. You're a great host. I hadn't noticed the Ira Glass similarity (a good thing, I think) but I do see it now that it's been pointed out xD

[@canidsong]

A nice tactic for getting left unattended in somebody else's building is to suddenly remember you needed to take a quick zoom meeting with legal, or some department which may be sensitive and ask if you could impose on an empty conference room briefly.

[@agenericaccount3935]

Breaking into FB is probably like busting into a TLA datacenter. If you get far enough you don’t get to leave. Ever.

[@opsec]

Just listened to this on Apple Podcasts, great episode as always. I've been listening to a solid 2 episodes a day as my work has been really laid back. Thanks Jack, great to hear about your experience on "Getting into InfoSec" as well. Always wondered your story there. Glad to have found it.

[@opsec]

Also, I just want to add that I am amazed at your ability to get these interviews. I know the community is strong, but I can only imagine the creative things you do to connect with the lesser known characters / inactive characters.

[@JackRhysider]

thanks!

[@redo1122]

Darknet Diaries is the only podcast I listen to and there certainly is a reason for that.

[@SpragginsDesigns]

Perfect timing. Falling asleep to this beats listening to scary stories. I know that's gotta be bad for you long term.

[@Tweakx]

I love listening to creepy pastas to go to bed. With these stories i’m just too invested and i can’t fall asleep lol

[@annikarasmussen6616]

This was so interesting! I'm a former escort and a friend said I'd be great at social engineering and this is totally the stuff I used to do to sneak into places to try meeting high profile men. With my degree in philosophy and knowing how people think and my experiences sneaking into places this is something I'm going to have to look more into!

[@nexusyang4832]

If you look into the history of female assassins in Japan you'd find that they were just as quite as deadly as their male counterparts. A lot of them were disguised as geishas and from there, anything goes...

[@annikarasmussen6616]

@@nexusyang4832 my favorite sneaking into an event when I was an escort was I snuck into an American Bar Association forum they were doing on prostitution and human trafficking to see what new laws and technology they were using on the policing and justice end of things haha.

[@Tom_riddle-hw5jq]

You have a philosophy degree, but eventually got into being a high profile escort?

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

My mentor actually gave us a tour of the Google campus this last summer. It's truly an amazing facility.

[@aaroneverett296]

Since the first day I heard my first Darknet diary to the newest one, I have been hooked. My son even listens to it now and his friends. GREAT GREAT stuff and got to hear about hackers and stories that were relevant to me growing up, as well as me now.

[@JackRhysider]

glad you like it!

I'm just glad you're here.

[@monkisethojane2218]

I started listening to your channel. And used to choose topics now I don't I just listen and never get disappointed

[@JAY.ARE47]

Thanks Jack for continuing to deliver great content!

[@flyguy8791]

As always, excellent work Jack. Keep up the episodes, can’t wait to see the rebrand!

[@JackRhysider]

This episode originally aired June 25 2019. The current brand is going to stay the way it is.

[@dapper2407]

BRUHHH!!! In situations like bringing the badge cloning equipment thru airport security. You can simply avoid all that by shipping/importing said equipment to your location under the guise of an Amazon package or an ordered package with the equipment and a false invoice stuffed inside a package. Then the reverse to get the equipment back out.

[@freezafeesh9251]

That shit gets stolen in third world countries by the mail service

[@jakemisskelley]

Jack- went to high school within 20 miles of the google campus, and i can tell u they get stolen CONSTANTLY. Still i guess less then ud expect. But when i moved down to the penninsula like 3 kids i went to highscool with had google bikes but like no google parents or siblibgs lmao.

[@Lwyte17]

Jack! You rock! Don't know why you're not HUGE yet, keep it up!

[@MoonMoney97]

@1:30 “campus reminds me of university” University and Colleges make money from R&D for gov subsidies, higher education is a side gig.

[@morisn]

Just listening to a bunch of these recordings now and this one is particularly interesting. I never had an experience like this but the reason why it's somewhat relatable is because I used to live in a Latin American country and on occasion, received the visit of an expert from headquarters. Headquarters is in the US and at least back two or more decades ago, we treated them almost like royalty. I don't know, I think it's a culture thing and because I spoke English fluently, I was naturally the guy who took them around. I don't know how I would have felt if all that or part of that would have been a plot to check our security infrastructure. Back in that time technology wasn't that advanced but we already had Internet and email and in fact I was in charge of the ebusiness area. It would have been very upsetting to know that I would have been tricked. Anyway, I know these are the lengths that companies should go to ensure that bad guys don't do these kind of stuff. Wonder how the people in that country felt when they knew. Great show!

[@justcallmenoah5743]

Another fantastic upload, thanks jack!

[@ExoticsMining]

Love ur vids man, gives me something cool to listen to at work!

Not only does Jack make awesome podcasts he has incredible merchandise in store. I purchased 2 shirts and some stickers today can't wait for delivery 😀

[@JackRhysider]

thanks!

[@DaleStrickland]

Thanks for the tip! Just checked out the shop and found some designs I'd like to get some day

[@iteachcyber5713]

So how would someone become a physical pentester officially without a friend?

[@accesser]

Great story again , hope the new store and merch come soon some stickers would be cool

I'm glad the food bank team didn't get in trouble it sounds like for letting them in. It worked out for everyone involved it sounds like.

[@dhruvgulati1667]

Jack we have to do something such great content is not getting enough attention. We need more views. Next person to do a podcast can be a guy on youtube doingfedtime.

[@nexusyang4832]

I second that request. He is an up and coming KZbinr with a very interesting background.

[@davidsasse40]

It's not the nice people's fault. If security made sure to collect the visitors badge or invalidate it also ensure single swipe. Also visitors should have to check in with guards.

[@TechieZeddie]

Why are the episode numbers all over the place? Also since this is just newly posted, I was expecting to see it in my podcast catcher, but NewsWire is still the last one there. Is this KZbin channel just specific episodes?

[@JackRhysider]

I'm going through my old episodes posting the old ones every week here. But then also still publishing new new episodes every 2 weeks here. So your podcatcher should have this episode in it which was originally released Jun 2019. I just never published it to youtube til today.

As a woman, most womanly charms, pregnancy, etc. is not likely to get me to break company policy. Hopefully she doesn't run into me working late at night.

[@hicknopunk]

Thanks for the heart. I have been loving this series as I am IT. I work when literally all but 1 or 2 other people will be there at night, so I can do work without disrupting the office. If I see someone I don't know. I log into the server on my phone and distract them with small talk. I then look up their user folder and ask them something like "tell me the name of one of the last 3 files you saved". I have yet to catch anyone, but if I have never seen you and you do not match any of the name badge pics...I am going to put security on the phone, pocket it, and test you. 😁

9:25 and people still tell me that I'm "an asshole" for leaving my high school ex because she went to school for acting. I'm sorry but good actors are bad people, and they aren't honest.

[@domothepilot]

is this considered a good pentest? i mean, yah the got in and were highly skilled, but its quite a sophisticated, exotic attack. like if a real attacker got in like that, everyone would assume "nation state actor". wouldn't the pentesters time be better spent covering all the basics that are more likely to happen than impersonating a pregnant woman? what is the take-away from that kind of attack? teach your personnel to be more vigilant? you should do that anyways! I'm no expert, i was just asking myself that

Confidence is Key. I mean really, you Just have to Look like you are a Part of this company and Just telling you have No rights For this door and want to Mr/s "x" Dont Look dump through the area or Just be ob your Phone. It will Work often, cause people forget their Card or Something Like that. Security is lazy, If they are paid Bad. Having a Security batch is Key, too. But it Just has to be nearly right. Enough For 2 to 3 Seconds. Looking good helps a Lot. And good cloths For your role are important,too.

[@JackRhysider]

You and me think alike Jeremy. I find it much more entertaining to listen to real criminals. It's harder to find them and get them to talk too, so it seems much more provocative in that way. But overwhelmingly, people who listen to the show loves these pen test stories the most. So it's fun to mix it up and hear stories from both sides. I personally think there's a good mix of incident responders, victims, criminals, red teamers, and the occasional non-tech related episodes. What did you think of episode 116, Mad Dog? The one with the CIA officer. He wasn't a criminal per se, but he was definitely not a square posing as criminal.
