I almost don’t want to tell anyone about this podcast as it’s so good that I want to keep it to myself.
Facts
Most people dont care about this stuff, only logan paul and debauchery as topics discussed.
Sharing is caring.
@@mohamed1104 what if we don't care tho.
I got a copy of stuxnet code, want it??
you make stupidly good podcasts, I'm glad I stumbled on you; I think I've listened to all of them, tend to listen to them while I work. Love your essay style and podcast direction. Keep up to great work, I'm sure you'll kick off :)
I listen at work as well. Such interesting stories. Might just get into IT because of this show.
@@jaaronlee-morgan5743 go for it man, try David Bombal as well and a few others. I think I am too old and dumb to do so
@Jabba1625 You're never too old or too dumb. Apply yourself
@@CaledonianMafia Thanks my dude, I have looked into IT studies and prob know a bit more than most. Just trying to get my head sorted for the start of the year after a few chaotic years.
@Jabba1625 I'm much and such the same myself. Freecodecamp, hackthebox and tryhackme have some free courses. Can be totally bewildering at times, but I got my head around most of the stuff I read on there. Completed 2 courses now interested in learning more.
My nightly routine consists of listening to an episode before bed. These are sooo good, keep it up!
Same here
Legit the best podcast out there. Cannot wait for more content, please keep it coming. You are the best at what you do. The narration, storytelling, etc. all so good. Thank You 🙏
I agree, and also the visuals are awesome too, This pod got me through trucking
I've been binge watching tf out of it. Absolutely quality content
If you haven't noticed, his website has a ton more than his yt channel does. It's a gold mine
Couldn’t have said it better myself
So glad I stumbled upon here. Other awesome channels like this: Mob Reporter, Jake Tran, OG Shadow Official (Cartel Insider Information)
This was just so next-level its unbelievable. The number of moving parts involved, and the fact that none of those zero-days were patched while they were waiting for everything to fall in place... makes you wonder whether there may have been some cooperation between the intelligence agencies and the software/hardware companies.
It’s an airgapped system so they probably didn’t update very often if at all and if they used windows their just shitty and they’re known to be working w the feds
I chose this topic as my computer application 101 assignment back at 2012, because of how sophisticated and targeted virus it was.
The most complex malware that people don't know to be malware is the social media, obviously..
tik-tok
@@bartycorrigan tiktok is a legitimate malware.
it honestly acts as a malware and it basically requests permissions to use your entire filesystem on the phone and it has the capacity to copy files from your phone.
and even if we leave the chinese company itself out of the equation - if the app has a vulnerability, and hackers exploit it, then they'll have all those permissions themselves and would basically be able to leak almost everything from the victim's phone.
And here we are on it
@@amitir22 tiktok requests files access when you go to upload a video. shcoking i know.
I thought Windows was most sophisticated malware ever made.
😅
Glad you've been posting these on TH-cam too, now I can rewatch/listen to your episodes 5 times on Spotify and TH-cam
New to the channel. Mentioned it to a friend a work. Her eyes lit up and she said her husband loves it.
You’re creeping on the come up son.
Great work as always. Keep at it.
Been really enjoying this podcast! Your narration is always on point and the visual art is dope aswell. keep up the great work bro.
Thanks! Will do!
Hi! Tell Expert Rockwell that you were referred for the right strategy on New Terra/UST, or to participate in other exciting projects. Thank you for the comments
This was excellent! Really brings back the 2016 era when I used to binge on this cybercrime / middle eastern politics stuff... and I don't mean that in a sad nostalgia way. You've just reignited that interest!
I really find it funny how the US refers to other countries' nuclear programs as "illicit" 💀
I think in the case of iran they (a former governernment, before a revolution) signed a treaty to only develop civilian nuclear infrastructure.
how? iran would say the same about us
Im 31 bro. Ive seen and done a lot. Ive been listening to tlak radio since i was 11 around sep 11... and pods for years.
You have a tremendously interesting just wonderful podcast. Love love love it
I appreciate that
You are doing an excellent reporting job here. Thank you very much for sharing.
Tell Expert Rockwell that you were referred for the right strategy on New Terra/UST, or to participate in other exciting projects.
Glad I found this channel. Starting to binge watch all your shows. Extremely good especially with how you make a report of the stories in perfect detail I can digest in while working and still get what I’m hearing
When I first heard your podcast it was the Samy Kamkar episode and at first when I was reading the comments I was thinking "how gullible are these people!! this is obviously fake, why would THE Samy Kamkar give an interview to some guy on some random channel with videos that get only view numbers in the tens of thousands. Then I watched more... and more...and more... then I realized the truth. These are real stories, and you've spent tons of time putting these unbelievably high quality and incredibly entertaining videos together. The problem isn't your channel, the problem is simply that your channel hasn't been discovered yet for what it is! My jaw was open in awe when I realized every single one of these videos of true stories told by someone who's not only an amazing storyteller, but someone who does A TON of homework, are all waiting for me to be watched!! It's like when you get to the end of one of your favourite series, then you hear someone tell you they've never heard of it before and you immediately become jealous that they get to start at the beginning of the amazing experience you've already had.
I've never meant this more in my entire life: I STAND CORRECTED
Kinda makes you wonder if EternalBlue would have ever been found if it wasn't for The Shadow Brokers.
Lol, an illicit nuclear program? What makes any nuclear program legal? What about the illicit war on drugs?
They didn’t ask us
@@NarutoUzumaki-vc4wy I know right. Legalize drugs!
@@NarutoUzumaki-vc4wy right! 👍
Sir, you are great. I discovered you by David Boomble. Sir can you make a video about the full path of learning cyber security.??? For Us. LOve from Bangladesh.
Learn the fundamentals, truly grasp them before any thing else, then learn enough Python to look like you know what you're doing.
Jack rhysider, thank you
Just recently found your podcasts. I've heard 3 or 4 so far. Definitely gonna listen to them all. This is really good stuff my guy
Not a big fan of Iran, but I've always thought that going after them for this has been a bad idea. Great video!
Hi! Tell Expert Rockwell that you were referred for the right strategy on New Terra/UST, or to participate in other exciting projects. Thank you for the comments
This was done because Iran was one of extremely few countries (7 if I remember correctly) that haven't joined the Rothschild central banking system or enacted some form of a nationally-centralized bank that grants Israel economic/political power in its attempt to maintain complete global control and leech off of the rest of the planet at humanity's expense. Stuxnet was a bullying tactic for the CIA and the Israeli Mossad to limit Iran's power in terms of scientific study/reach of technology, the same way Bush (son of former CIA director George H.W. Bush) hopped up fear of "WMDs" that were never there in order to justify invading Iraq. The same way the CIA and the Israeli Mossad conducted 9/11 to justify invading Afghanistan. This was just one of many historical events where Israel (a parasite) used the U.S. (another parasite but with a lower IQ and a Gucci belt) as muscle to justify policing the rest of the world that wanted nothing to do with their bullshit, for the sake of global power and financial gain.
Stage a false event for a political narrative
Manipulate public opinion
Direct it towards uninvolved Middle-Eastern countries
Fund the "terrorists" we're claiming to fight and gib weapons
Kill innocent civilians in said countries
Profit
Rinse and repeat
Bruh no one asked for your opinion on my country
@@armincal9834 oh how much did you buy your own country for ?
i didn't know you can own a country.
tbh the fact that we have a connection worldwide and are still saying crap like my country shows the tribal nature of human beings and that we haven't evolved much.
@@Gurj101 when someone says iran,they mean the whole country including it's people,therefore me.
No matter how much I try to be just a human being regardless of my nationality I will always be known as an iranian by others and be judged accordingly,nothing I can do about it
Man, you deserve so many more views than you’re getting. Keep it up man
you made technology podcast listenable and not boring 😅
thanks!
👆👆👆
Massive episodes, Massive channel. Thank you Jack!!!
In the words of Count Dooku “i’ve been looking forward to this”
What I'm always for, "Jack Rhysider*s notifications"
Noo-KYU-ler... you're killing me, my man! Your work is fantastic, I love this channel, but it's NOO-klee-ur 😘
The only reason we know anything about Stuxnet at all is very simple. A Dutch infiltrant, that the Americans used to gain access to the facility (Erik van Sabben) died before he could put the water pumps (infected with Stuxnet) within the facility.
The US spent between 1 and 2 billion dollars developing these pumps, and their only way into the facility, unfortunately, died in a motorcycle accident. Witnesses did not report witnessing anything suspicious about his death. After the Americans lost access to the facility, they had to create the Stuxnet that Jake is telling us about in this video.
It is weird to think that if Erik did not crash his motorcycle, Stuxnet wouldn't have been modified, and we might have never known what happened in Iran. Makes you wonder how many things we will never know about.
You should do an episode about Equation Group!
The word at 33:33 is seconded.
"Secondment is a temporary phase of arrangement where an employee is transferred from one job to another"
Man I'm about to run out of ur content man. I've absolutely soaked it all up. There's nobody else with content like this I've looked
So, anyone else realize this was used against food processing plants and factories in America in the last 2 years
this shit needs elaboration. you can't just say something like that and just leave it
I love listening to this channel while jogging. This channel is improving my fitness. ..
I just want to say thank you! This and all your podcasts are very attention grabbing material, very informing for the public! As I see it it's should be taught in schools
Idk why but i can never imagine stuxnet as being a 2008+ thing, i always imagine stuxnet as being a 90s to 2000 thing. When i was a kid i used to hear never to plug a PLC monitor into the internet because stuxnet could get onto it and brick it, i was sure this was earlier than 2008. Mandela effect strikes again
Yeah, memory is an unreliable moron that get worst with time.
I can remember with enough details the previous weeks, which projects or contracts I worked on on which day, etc.; I vaguely remember what stuff I worked on last month, but probably not much more than "I worked on X thing early last month, and Y thing more at the end of the month"; and the farther you look bac the worst it get, like, I can remember a few things from when I was a kid, but I have no idea from which year or which month these memories are from.
So yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
I wish that I was capable of writing something so on point without going off on tangents. This channel is so cool it hogs all of my focus. Is almost hypnotic. While I do hope you get paid for this, please don't change anything else it's perfect!
VRChat causes a HUGE backdoor for Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, to the point where motherboards get fried and don't function anymore. This is caused by Unity hackers.
"It was done to prevent an all out war," with no proof that the program was designed for war or to be weaponized, simply on the opinion of an opposing country that has extreme bias toward Iran, reinforced further by the fact that they didn't even want Iran having nuclear power.
The U.S. and Israel are very close allies, they are also the most advanced threat-actors on the planet AND they both just so happen to hate Iran.
Hmmmmm
Israel has always hated Iran which is why they went so far with this aka the assassinations. The US has been meddling with Iran since the 1950s.
a podcast marathon ?! never heard of it until i did it here
I like your movies, but sometimes music is 20% too loud
Remember kids, air-gap your centrifuges, don't plug in random USBs and don't use Windows or RPC.
you will still get hacked
@@jeffGordon852 I have your IP
You can hack into airgapped computer. An Israeli university actually showed 10 different ways on how control a Faraday caged, airgapped computer.
@Algorithm_prep Last I heard, that research was all still proof-of-concept. Very impressive if true
Might DuckDuckGo(tm) it later
the most sophisticated malware hasnt even been detected yet
Everybody gangsta until scientists get exploded
Trainee: can you shoot a gun?
Possibly not.
Did you shoot a pistol? They fall down.
Do you know what this is? Yes.
I'm popped.
Yes. Ok goodbye!
This channel is gold
dude do u mention your youtube channel in your spotify podcast? i didnt know this existed
No I haven't. I think I mention it in next months episode.
Hats Off!, You were born to do this.
Keep it up Jack, you are just Amazing
I have actually written a three liner python script that I like to affectionately call StuxNET Win Home Edition... all it does is go into the float.h header file and edit the bits for the single and double precision floating point mantissas to some random number... if I bothered a bit further with it I could have probably fine tuned the mantissas to achieve a more calculated effect... haven't actually tried it but in theory every single floating point calculation starts losing precision in a cumulative effect that build up over time resulting in sheer madness which eventually fries Windows and might cause some damage to things like CPU's or GPU's... I am guessing the equivalent effect on an array of uranium enrichment centrifuge tubes might look like what is described on "Zero Hour".
The relevant libraries in Linux are structured differently so, I haven't yet ported StuxNET Home to Linux... but there's a library called fpu something in there... as in direct interface with the FPU from within the Linux kernel...? And you know just what? I am going to go out on a limb and say the Iranian plant was running some kind of exotic Unix... so, putting two and two together... yeah...
He send at least 30.000 email only to Twitter per day, more and all app. I CAN'T BEALIVE. YOU ARE ON HIS LIST.
Wow hello recommended hidden gem. This is a lovely podcast. This story is fantastic.
Anyone here watching this in 1080p....coz i was...untill i realized 😂😂
Interesting use of the word illicit. Love the podcast though
i rly love this podcast, thx my dude
"And these centrifuges taken from Libya looked like big stove pipes. Almost like how you'd see rockets shipped on the black market."
👀
This should have at least a million views. Oh just realized it's prob because it's a straight audio podcast.
I don't know how to hack nor am I superbly computer savvy but I loveistenin to your diaries..
Keep up the great work!!!
33:35. The word is "secondment" I presume.
U will blow up soon with this content for sure keep up the good work bro💯👏🏻
I enjoy your podcasts and I hope to put out my own podcast one day. Meanwhile, kudos to you for such good content.
Great podcast, interesting content... keep it up!!!
Thanks for listening
👆👆👆
love this notification
that intro is so hard 🔥🔥🔥 the beat is so fitting
Great videos hope you catch on soon 👍
Another great video. Respect 🙏
I just found my new favorite Channel !
As soon as I heard "hacked Iran" I said "Israel" out loud lol
Best podcast imo
I listen to these every night
Love the content man GOAT
Coronavirus is pretty sophisticated. The final varient is absolutely lethal.
I like the alligator variant. iykyk
Keep the lore coming, our brains are cumming. Love your channel, dude, definitely subscribed. Love from Russia ;)
My new favorite podcast!
Its hard to say if it was for civilian or military purposes, but what is very striking is that Iran wasnt expanding nuclear power at all which would be the only reason to enrich more uranium.
Its like a guy grabbing a snorkel and underwater goggles, and then he goes mountain climbing with it. Sure maybe he was planning on going mountain climbing we cant rule it out, it is possible, but his actions says something really different.
I'm addicted to this podcast
Great work! Keep it up!😊
Anyone else think the UN Inspectors were involved? If not with deploying the virus directly, they probably had valuable insights for the attackers.
So glad I stumbled upon here. Other awesome channels like this: Mob Reporter, Jake Tran, OG Shadow Official (Cartel Insider Information)
Hi! Tell Expert Rockwell that you were referred for the right strategy on New Terra/UST, or to participate in other exciting projects. Thank you for the comments
Jake Tran he is a scammer do you know that !
5:00 "illicit nuclear program" - WTF? What the hell such a nonsense would ever mean, legalistically?
Your account is growing !!!
2:50 People knew it was Israel at the start, yet they got attacked as anti semetic. lmao
Nailed that into!
There's about 3 movies I have to watch every year. The Stuxnet documentary Zero Days is one of them
Very Good and Informative Podcast
Glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing content! Keep it up!
Appreciate it!

Whenever I hear "Nucular", it registers something like "Deez Nuts".
as an industrial controls engineer, it kinda blows my mind that those guys would by either naïve or dumb or trusting enough to SCADA network their whole centrifuge ops. or at the very least have a localized devicenet for their DH485 protocol running the logic. wonder if they ran individual PLCs or had remote/slave racks. so many questions. i think the shit we had at Del-Monte foods (canning) in the cook process was more secure than that! lol thats some wild shit. sounds like that was a fun project to be on!
What can say about the fact they got access through the Siemens controllers or something like that
@@bsuarez3455 I'd be willing to bet that EXACTLY what happened. Easy enough to ping a plc on a network and simply get in. Even if thr logic is password protected you can still get online with the controller. In some instances, still view the logic but just not edit. But there's ways around that. It's like those dudes just had no idea of the sheer level of network vulnerability plc networks have.
@@jimhoffman9438 I agree! More so to the fact that they had 4 keys 🤣🤣🤣 4
What do you mean they just pumped Iran's nuke site with USB drives? Like they just air dropped a bunch onto the parking lot?
Probably something like that.
Let a few USB drives on the ground, either near where these people work or live, mostly on parking lot, and it should do the trick.
Humans even well trained on security are curious; give it enough time and someone will plug this drive on their work computer, just to see what's on it.
Yeah am happy with this podcast . but not happy with you Tube am in search of the other podcast from the real darknet diaries .i have already watched this b4 . how can access the others from episode 60 to go..
Making nukes for defending own country is a crime 😂😂😂😂😂
The more dependent we becime on tech the more vulnerable we become to these kinds of attacks. We open the proverbial door and they gladly come in.
Whenever I feel exhausted in my pursuit of a career in cyber sec I just come and listen to any of your podcast. They are so well-done like a Michelin star steak! One thing that always left me astonished is how the US taxpayers easily buy whatever propaganda their politicians and bureaucrats sell. Dick Cheney is a fucking legend for me and I respect him but what he did to the Middle East was fucking nuts
The USB sticks were loaded with porn and thrown over the wall at the facility.
Is it right to watch the same thing again 4 years later?🤣
can you do a video on the blaster virus please?
Ilicit program. Aka: you cant make a bomb, the same one i have thousands.
well there's a huge difference between wanting to use it and building it too stop Hitler
The word games are for the masses who think there’s some degree of ethics involved in the struggle for power.
Hint: there are no ethics, it’s just whoever wins makes the rules
Link to the next episode plz?
Great episode, and while this is about Stuxnet, one thing glossed over is the deaths of the scientists by car bombing. That's also an act of war, no need to compare it to what might've happened if conventional bombing was used instead to destroy Iran's nuclear program. Those were innocent lives, and cyberwar or no, they are casualties nonetheless.
how inncocent? they were developing nukes for that fanatical fascist regime?
I came across your channel a month ago, since then I have watched all of your "darknet diaries", and I really enjoy it. Keep them coming Jack! 🤌
Welcome aboard!
Tell Expert Rockwell that you were referred for the right strategy on New Terra/UST, or to participate in other exciting projects.
The message I get from this footage, is the Americans and Israelis are ok to have nuclear weapons, but nobody else is allowed 😮
