    I relate to the difficulty contacting French authorities. I found someone online planning an attack in France and it took me 2 days to get in touch with French authorities, when I finally did they acted like I was bothering them. I have no clue if they acted on the information.

      @@xixi560 I wonder if we're thinking the same thing. Where I'm from its common among workers to warn against going to our countries Ministry of Worker affairs to report an employer because that person usually gets fired a few days later with no change or penalties to the company that person worked for. I sadly think its the same with courts, schools, banks etc. Police have one of the highest domestic violence rates of a profession, who do their partners go to for protection?

    Most if not all intelligence organizations have it as a crime to acknowledge they work for them. About 30 years ago a guy said he worked for one of the British MI departments. He was fired and thrown in prison. I think for 2 years. When he got out, they put him under servalence as if he was a major risk. It was sutch a wast of resources.

    • @_kww_
      @_kww_ ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I feel it's somewhat understandable, by establishing he's part of the MI branches, he automatically became the weakest link and basically put a giant glowing target on himself, so naturally MI did whatever they could to separate him from any potential spies or other threat actors, probably more for their sake than his.

    The botnet activity is something I've struggled with and will currently be revisiting. One of the issues I am trying to figure out is detecting the dns activity of say google chrome and it's search bar testing (google "chrome random dns lookup"). Very similar in the random call out to garbage dns's. Only thing I can think of is looking for patterns in the activity spike and possibly users experiencing performance issues but still a little green at figuring the whole thing out. Good stuff!
