Good Hacker Recounts Exactly How He Hacked 100 Bad Hackers—Buckle Up

Robert Maynard Pirsig, the American philosopher and author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, once said that “boredom always precedes a period of great creativity.” And it was these words, this quote, that security researcher, penetration tester and all-round good hacker Cristian Cornea, used to kick off his account of how he hacked 100 hackers in a riveting post on Medium.

pIt all started when Cornea came up with the idea of a honeypot that would draw in wannabe ransomware hackers that use the cybercriminal BreachForums marketplace on the dark web. What better way of pulling off such an audacious sting than to build a ransomware builder: a tool that brought together all the resources someone would need to create and deploy a ransomware attack? A tool that took shape as the Jinn Ransomware Builder and quickly rose to a top three placing in the software category on BreachForums.
