The Dark Visitor

First, I’ll be gone until next Wednesday, another conference.  However, found this and thought it was amusing:

Back in November I was just looking through zone-h.cn and found Chinese hacker Merciless Wind. Well, it seems Mr. Mercilesss finally noticed the posting:

Merciless wonders if zone-h.cn is being monitored by the NET POLICE!

One commenter thinks it may be some type of honeypot.

Personally, I prefer net police.  I’ll have to ask Jumper which he prefers but I can’t imagine him wanting to be referred to as honeypot.

  Started surfing Baidu and ran across this 2006 interview with Dhillion Andrew Kannabhiran (a.ka. L33tdwag), CEO and founder of Hack in the Box. The discussion was conducted by superlone, a member of Eviloctal (Chinese hacker group) and was sort of funny, weird, chilling, uncomfortable…  It is a bit longish but I think well worth the read.

Here is my favorite part:

superlone: as for chinese secuirty industry,how much do you know about it?about chinese hackers and the level of chinese hackers?

L33tdawg: well on the industry aspect i don’t really know much.as for chinese hackers we are affiliated with XFOCUS which imho has some of the best researchers.remember that it was the XFOCUS guys who were the first to turn LSD’s RPC DCOM research into a working exploit targetting all Chinese version of Windows.

superlone: what other chinese seucurity groups or communities do you know besides XFOCUS?

L33tdawg:apart from XFOCUS, i know you are from www.eviloctal.com.well i’m sure there are many, but seeing that i do not read or speak Chinese, it is a bit difficult to make contact.

Ahh, fun with Chinese hackers. Continue reading…or not.
