NSO Group’s Pegasus & IRC Wars
This week on Hacker And The Fed we discuss the NSO Group’s zero-click iPhone exploit, also known as Pegasus, a powerful tool that can be used to take full control of a target’s iPhone without their knowledge.
We break down how it all works and how to think about this tool and others like it.
We also answer a question from the audience about Hector’s experience using IRC, an old internet chat tool where Hector had “wars” with other hackers.
