History of US interventions on different places over the last century.
Darknet Diaries - https://darknetdiaries.com/
I highly recommend Darknet Diaries.
I enjoy all of the episodes in one way or another. But here are a few of my recommendations.
Ep 36: Jeremy from Marketing - "A company hires a penetration tester to pose as a new hire, Jeremy from Marketing, to see how much he can hack into in his first week on the job. It doesn't go as planned."
Ep 14: #OpJustina - "In 2013 a hospital was accused of conducting a medical kidnapping against a young girl named Justina. This enraged many people across the country, including members of Anonymous. A DDOS attack was waged against the hospital."
Ep 24: Operation Bayonet - "Darknet markets are online black markets. They are highly illegal, and dangerous to run. Hear exactly how dangerous it was for Alphabay and Hansa dark markets.
Ep 29: Stuxnet - "Stuxnet was the most sophisticated virus ever discovered. It's target was a nuclear enrichment facility in Iran. This virus was successfully able to destroy numerous centrifuges. Hear who did it and why."
Xbox underground is great story too.
I had a friend working at Microsoft in the Xbox division during that time who recommended me that podcast.
The Stuxnet episode was really good. Shows how a virus can be properly weaponised.
I love Darknet Diaries. I want to recommend one in the same genre, Modem Mischief.
Oooo Jeremy from marketing was very fun, gonna keep on listening! Thank you!
