I recently (approximately 2-3 weeks ago) found out about this podcast. And all I can see this is the best podcast I have ever found. I love every detail (music, thumbnail, guests, host, and letting you know when will he play ads)
Hearing that they credited the kid in the bug report and then right afterwards hearing Jack "these are true stories from the dark side of the internet" made me crack up 😂😂

I contacted him a few years ago on skype and well, some of the things mentioned in this Podcast I can relate with what he said his experience was.

My favourite podcast! Everything about it is leagues above everything else out there, the narration, the interviews, the storytelling, the music, the artwork... even the in-episode ads I don't hate as viscerally as I normally would 😂 I dont work in cybersecurity or IT but the subject fascinates me as a layman and you strike a really good balance for listeners like me, you give me loads of things to go look up and learn about but its accessible enough to follow without having to be an expert. I hope this podcast keeps going for a long time to come 🙏
Daniel, I know that feeling when the judge reads your sentence and you go into a state of shock and you go completely numb. Its not until they walk you out the back and you sit in your cell for a while when you realize what has actually happened. When I was 15 I committed a similar crime and was sentenced to 10 years then had years taken off for my age, showing remorse and a couple of other things which I ended up with 5 years. Fortunately enough for me I appealed at the high court and ended up with no prison time. Thanks for sharing your story.
It must've been very traumatic to go through all that in prison. You can tell that the guy was trying to turn over a new leaf while the prison staff were being completely unfair to him. Overall I'm glad this man hasn't given up on wanting to work on the industry, I think if he starts his own company it will go very far. Thank you for the story Jack! Fantastic as always
It's good to hear your lawyer actually cares about you and even recommending mental health. That's so awesome. I remember the tok tok thing. It's crazy this is the dude
This is one of the saddest starts to a life of cybercrime that I've ever heard: finding out someone is cheating in a game and just wanting to know how, then eventually realizing that you're actually one of the only people who ISN'T cheating.
Yes, it makes sense! Thank you for coming and telling your story, I enjoyed it. When Talk Talk (stupid name) stocks fell it was a perfect time to buy, so maybe your guest accidentally helped some people make money.
there should be some way to offer hackers like Daniel a middle way with minimal punitive prison time but with offer of alternative military or civil service because somebody like Daniel would be invaluable to military, but military training is also tightly supervised without much personal freedom. But 6months or so of prison and then opt-out for military/ civil training would give him a future career in cyber security that would be a whole lot more valuable to country than expense of jail. seems such a waste of brains and resources to imprison someone when the person could be a valuable asset to society simply by offering an alternative.
He stole money from innocent people. He deserves a punishment. Especially when someone pays a ransom and he lies to them and tells them to pay more. He is a complete scumbag.
Great storey and I remember the talk talk storey very well. Jack, you made me laugh though with the 'super max' prison. HMP Berwyn is a cat C prison, which is far from super max. They do however allocate laptops to prisoners so they can order canteen, meal menu's, book appointments and other minor stuff but there is no external assess to the Internet unless the laptops are hacked, which Daniel would have been more than capable of doing.
If he was using his home computer to put his WOW opponent offline then it was NOT a DDOS attack it was a DOS (denial of service) attack. DDOS is by definition an attack from multiple IPs.
they made him wait 4 years. its a classic thing they do to break people beyond repair, it has alot of chances to keep them in the criminal loop, its all on purpose. they made me wait in the same fashion for a year and a half, and the same depression happened to me. they know they are doing this, yet they keep doing it, because the goal is to ruin people's lives, its not anything else.
I find it interesting how things snowball from a kid learning how to hack to them extorting people or doing other bad things. Some interesting psychology going on. I guess part of it must be having so much power as a young adult.
Call it Boa. It's a h4x0r language and you can only code in it while wearing a balaclava and fingerless gloves. That's how you spot a real hacker! The prison part was wild. Corrections officers must absolutely hate hackers or intelligent people. It's so irrational, but then the prison system is bonkers anyway. "If you're not a bad criminal on the way in, we'll beat the crime into you!"
1:01:01 That is how the mind works We take external data, we add it to our data, we try to make MORE information not less (the universe is a digital entropy reduction trainer, a virtual "machine") Amazing story guys, thankyou
I love these teen hacker stories as someone who was super active on the internet of that era as a tween and teen. I even got hacked when I was ten and running my own little insecure website. This lets me see the other side.
Back in the PS3 days DDoS was very prevalent in games like Madden or really any online game that had achievements that required online Player vs Player. You also could get the IP as long as they were in your lobby, didn't need much else. You could even do this in COD games and kick the entire other team if you wanted.
33:29 - There's no honor among thieves. 45:24 - "That's really serious offending". Oh is it now? You're literally blackmailing people and stealing, even if it's "only virtually, no one physically gets hurt". You're no better than the armed robber. Also, this guy is giving me "this is so fake" vibes. Lots of "you know"s and "I guess kinda"s.
His treatment in the prison system was interesting. That he caused embarrassment to Dido Harding may well have have influenced his treatment. She has repeatedly shown stunning levels of incompetence while being up to her neck in the most corrupt British government in more than 100 years. Sounds a lot like embarrassing the wrong person at the wrong time. I also find it hilarious that it was the Metropolitan Police Service (the met) that was investigating this as they are the most corrupt police force in the UK if not Europe.
Participating in a crime is called being an accomplice. Your question is like asking "is the get-away driver a criminal?". The answer - Yes. They are assisting in a crime by providing some service to criminals. That makes you a criminal. If your child steals gum from the store and you knowingly don't return it or do anything about it, then that makes you, and your child, criminals. You knew what you were doing was wrong and you did it anyway. At that point, I question your moral compass. Also, the guy being interviewed really gets on my nerves with his nonchalant "I guess I did, yeah". Don't act dumb, you know what you did was wrong.
The biggest vulnerability and threat is google. They are technically doing the same. They find it, and share it. Google needs to add logic to their crawler to not add that type of data to their database.
They seem to offer up to 20k and "up to" 60k in some cases now. Still not enough if you ask me. To find one at microsoft. You could make hundred millions on the black market
"Is it a crime to walk around a building looking for open windows?" If they can prove that, pretty sure that's prowling 😂. But you gotta have "tools" on ya so again it depends
That's nice to hear! Thanks! 💙 cheers to that! and no, I unfortunately didn't exaggerate. We have 0 penetrarion testing companies. Listening to some of Jack's stories is like having a vision into a dream or a movie - doesn't exist here! I mean, I tried to look for the opportunities here - there is close to none. Only something government related 🥲🤷♀️

@Jack, have you ever noticed how many of your visitors start their hacking/IT journey directly after being attacked by others?
Great storey and I remember the talk talk storey very well.

I think he said HMP Bristol or something like that.
If he was using his home computer to put his WOW opponent offline then it was NOT a DDOS attack it was a DOS (denial of service) attack. DDOS is by definition an attack from multiple IPs.
Pretty sure he was using a botnet with hoic or loic. It's pretty hard to get someone offline with one single ip packet flooding

If your shit is vulnerable, and someone tells you about it and you do nothing to secure it it should not be illegal to exploit it

sounds like these companies over paid the heads and stock holders and not enough staff and sponserships for young hackers..
As it turned out his real name Is John McCafée.
