Black Hat Hacking

The NSA doesn't care, but the FBI will kick your fucking ass.

Yeah, I would expect. How hard is it to catch a malicious hacker who's careful though, do the FBI have the same technical prowess as the NSA?

Well, there are no 'typical precautions' effectively. The levels of tradecraft required to really fuck with the Internet and not have it push back are very high 1) Tor 2) hardened privacy distro 3) public wifi in combination, etc etc.

I've had to set up Tor for journalists before and I put together a workflow. In the end I knew they would never be able to follow it all.

It's so easy to slip up and get fucked - if you're doing something that will actually bother (((them)))

I'd assume that hacking nowadays is almost impossible if you are going for anything big. What you could get into however is blackmail. Find some good info and ask for money to not release it.

Yep, go small and you should be ok.

But to answer OP's question, the guy who took down hacking team released a doc called 'How to Hack' or something like that, its on pastebin i think. That is a good guide to the ins and outs.

Can you share please? Any tips?

Would a botnet be a potential source of revenue? Obviously it'd be stupid to use any information you get directly, but surely there's a market for identities? You could build up a pretty huge datebase of username/password combinations, email accounts, bank accounts, names associated with them, and I'd bet you could sell that for some decent money, although this is only conjecture, I have no clue if such a market actually exists at all and if so, what kind of process you'd go through to sell and what kind of profit you could realistically expect.

the fbi just obtained rule 41 privileges so they can go after you regardless of where you are connecting from/through, but no, they are not nsa level by any means. the nsa isn't magic so they have technical/resource limitations as well. however, the fbi tends to follow the money because that will eventually connect back to you when you try to spend it.
