they're cool hacker guys who exist outside of hegemonic ideology. they're after the big guys, real cyber robin hood types. so anyway that's why they wanted to bully poorer nation :)
dudes bragging like the DoD are so impressed and 'want to know how he did it,' mf I'm sure if the US wanted to they could bully their internet as well, probably a good reason they didn't want to though
"they targeted me in an attack directly. That was disconcerting. Even more disconcerting was that the USG has absolutely 0 response. I’m a private citizen. sure i have a lot of ties to the DoD but i’m certainly not a warfighter."
Lmao he's a fed and he's mad that makes him a legitimate target.
You have to chug so much Kool aid before you start talking like this, absolute fed shit.
EDIT:
I held a top secret clearance for over a decade
However now I’ve done work in the space of sort of what they called “guerrilla/unconventional warfare” for folks in the DoD because of this. I’m also working with the folks that would be the ones arresting me and they gave me a nice unofficial commendation (a challenge coin if you’re familiar)
I’m kind of a big hippie but I had to buy a few firearms just for protection. I also have body armor - a lot of it. Everything from hoodies that look reasonably natural to full ski jackets lined with armor to the classic vest type stuff. I do now code with a glock next to my mouse. It’s really weird for me, but hey I chose this life so I can’t complain.
The very fact that he is bragging in public about his ‘ties to the DoD’ makes me doubt that he has any; this is the first time in my life that I have seen anybody do that. Would the Department of Defense want any of its interests or employés bragging about their international exploits? I mean, for fuck’s sake, I’ve taken surveys that’ve threatened me with legal action if I talked about something as insignificant as prepublished advertisements.
I don't talk about this very often, but I have a top secret clearance and was actually sent the script to review. I know this forum is popular with the natsec community, so I'll post it here for the curious. Note that it is for sensitive eyes only, so only view it if you have the proper clearance.

Guy has negative opsec. This is basically a script kiddie doing some dumb shit that might get him in trouble both here and in NK. It sounded like the feds were mad he took it down and disrupted their spy shit. Also causing an international incident and exposing all your life details is real big brain.
Honestly, I went to college with 19 year olds smarter then this guy. They at least did basic opsec and had a legitimate interest in not getting caught.
“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”
Dude doesn't understand those agencies don't want to do it because that could start a war not that they don't have the ability.
