Episode Synopsis

In college, I once showed my class the reality of Remote Access Trojans (RATs) with a live demo—showing how easily someone could take over a computer with the right tool. Years later, the real-world ramifications of these tools are even more chilling. Today, we’re diving deep into Poison Ivy, a notorious RAT that took the cybersecurity world by storm in the mid-2000s, and was linked to high-profile cyberattacks on government agencies, human rights organizations, and corporate giants.Don't just host your podcast, own it🟡 Yellowball is a podcast hosting service I built to give podcasters more control and less nonsense.
