Introduction
In the world of cybersecurity, trust is a scarce resource. When I found myself in the crosshairs of a powerful adversary, I had to turn to unconventional methods to protect myself and my community. In this blog post, I will share my experiences and the lessons I learned during my journey of resistance and resilience.
Responsible Disclosure and Higher Order Statistical Learning
As an Ex government employee, I blew the whistle on Iran’s influence operations in South Africa during the 2021 unrest. The backlash was swift and severe, and I knew I had to find a way to share my findings without putting myself in further danger. That’s when I turned to higher order statistical learning to hide my messages. By using images and music, I was able to drop knowledge bombs discreetly and responsibly, only revealing the information to those within my community of independent intelligence team who could decipher the code.
Selling Copyright and the Real Currency of Information
Information is the real currency, more valuable than gold, silver, or paper. By hiding information, my adversaries had created chaos and limited my ability to reach out to people and defend myself. That’s why I decided to sell copyright and charge for every word in the alphabet. By monetizing my knowledge, I was able to take back control and turn my demons into advantages.
The Hacker’s Manifesto and Silent Characters
As a hacker, I am not committed to anyone. I have been betrayed too many times to trust anyone but myself. The Hacker’s Manifesto drives this home, reminding us that the world is not a fair place and that we must take matters into our own hands. By embracing my role as a hacker, I was able to use my skills to fight back against my adversaries and protect myself and my community.
Hybrid Warfare and the Attacks on My Person
Through hybrid warfare, I was attacked by those who profit from influence operations, such as Iran and ISIS. As a government employee, I was a prime target for their attacks, and I had to be vigilant to protect myself. By using higher order statistical learning and selling copyright, I was able to fight back against my adversaries and share my findings with those who needed to hear them.
Conclusion
In the world of cybersecurity, trust is a scarce resource. But by using unconventional methods and embracing our roles as hackers, we can fight back against our adversaries and protect ourselves and our communities. Through responsible disclosure, monetizing our knowledge, and embracing our demons, we can turn the tables on those who seek to do us harm. This is my story of resistance and resilience, and I hope it inspires others to take up the fight.
