Ha! ³Easy², in my personal experience (having once upon a time caught a hacker in .ro, but it took six months of work to seal the deal with handcuffs). -- Josh Sholes On 3/12/14, 12:37 PM, "Andrew D Kirch" <trelane@trelane.net> wrote:
Hi,
I found that finding them on IRC, or wherever it is that they congregate, and simply talking to them until they incriminate themselves tends to work best. I also found that firewalls, IDS, security audits, antivirus, antimalware etc work almost not at all. The reason for this is pretty simple. Cybercrime is not a technical problem and does not have a technical solution. The solution is just like any other criminal act, find them, get them to confess, and then put a real world face and location to the IRC persona. Easy.
