Hacking Back Scammers
Researching scammer infrastructures and developing malware to hack in and monitor scammers without their knowledge, allowing us to preemptively warn victims and gather intelligence to report scammers.
Project Overview
The scammer epidemic is ever-present in our connected world and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Our team is currently researching infrastructures commonly used by scammers and creating our own malware to hack in and monitor scammers without their knowledge, allowing us to preemptively warn victims and gather enough intel to report the scammers.
In our talks, we break down our approach to a project of this scale as students, along with the progress we have made and lessons we've learned. Join us for a dive into the world of scams, malware, and ethical hacking!
