Translation of the book "Kingpin". Chapter 34. DarkMarket
Kevin Poulsen, editor of the magazine WIRED, and in childhood blackhat, the hacker Dark Dante, wrote a book about "one of his acquaintances . "
The beginning and the translation plan are here: “Shkvoren: schoolchildren translate a book about hackers” .
“Chapter 34” was chosen as a participant in the summer camp, who wished to remain anonymous, as an independent project. (Any resemblance to “rule 34” is random)

The guy is sitting on a hard polished wooden chair and angrily looking at the camera. Against the background of a shabby plaster wall, he is in his shorts and holds a sign in his hands. It is written in large letters:
“MY PRESENT NAME IS MERT ORTACH.

I HAVE CHO0 MISSED. ”
The appearance of this photo on the DarkMarket forum in May of 2008 forced Mularsky to hastily return to the NCFTA communications room. The command center would be helpful to know that one of the admins of Master Splintr kidnapped and tortured an informant.
If anyone has recommendations on how to translate something better, the original chapter is given at the end of the post.
NCFTA is a non-profit organization sponsored by a number of firms, Internet companies and the US federal government, whose goal is to collect information on crimes in the economic sphere and in high technology.
Also in the building of this agency is the headquarters of a special unit of the FBI, which is called the Cyber ​​Initiative and Resource Fusion Unit, whose staff and carried out the operation with DarkMarket.
Mularsky, he's the master Splintr, an FBI undercover agent.
Chapter Continuation
Cha0 was an engineer in Istanbul, he sold high-quality skimmers and PIN keyboards for ATMs to scammers around the world. A reader installed in an ATM recorded information from a magnetic tape from all credit cards, and a fake keyboard wrote down a secret PIN-code.
His flash ad on DarkMarket was a classic - it started with a cartoon man who sneaks in through a house full of money. "Is that you"? - written below - "Yes, if you bought the reader and PIN-keyboard from Cha0."
Instructions for new buyers were accompanied by a smiling caricature and Cha0 itself.
“Hi, my name is Cha0. I am a developer of skimmers and PIN keyboards. I work 24 hours a day and produce the best skimming devices. You can make huge money in this business with me and my group. We make devices for beginners. It's very simple! ”
Animated ha0 then offers a couple of useful tips:
Master Splintr knew that ha0 was a burnt felon and could use force to protect his multimillion-dollar business, despite the cartoon-like approach to marketing. And it turned out to be true.
Mert "Kier" Ortac was part of the ha0 gang called Crime Enforcers, until he ran to the Turkish TV station to tap on Cha0. After a number of interviews, he disappeared. When he appeared, some time later, he told about his abduction and beating of Cha0 and his assistants.
Now Cha0 confirmed this story by posting a photo on DarkMarket as a warning to the others. The photo justified the FBI’s long-standing suspicions about the rising level of violence in the computer underground. With the amount of money invested in the underground, it became clear that carders would resort to violence in order to protect or increase their source of income.
Max was imprisoned in Ohio, and DarkMarket was growing up unhindered. Mularski focused on the most influential people and Cha0 was among them. The Turkish Cyber ​​Investigator spent three months with Mularski side by side at the NCFTA to figure out the manufacturer of the skimmers.
Mularsky presented two computers to Cha0, thus making the first step in the investigation. Cha0 redirected the package to his lackeys, who were supervised by the Turkish National Police. This led to Katagay Evyapan (Cagatay Evyapan), an electronic engineer with a lot of criminal experience, whose biography coincided with the biography of Cha0, which he secretly shared with Mularski.
The police visited several International Shipping Companies and interrogated them about Cha0 orders. One of them recognized the delivery of equipment from Istanbul to Europe, and one of the participants of the organization as the sender. This gave all the evidence the police needed.
On September 5, five police officers in bullet-proof vests broke into the house of Cha0 on the outskirts of Istanbul.
Bursting into the house, they laid Cha0 and his minion on the ground threatening with a weapon.
Inside the house, they found a full-fledged electrical laboratory and production line with all the components neatly laid out in buckets and boxes. About a dozen computers worked on the tables. Cha0 had almost the same card-breaking equipment, like the Chris Aragon factory. The same huge boxes, in which lay thousands of readers and PIN-keyboards, waiting to be sent. Cha0 entries indicated that four of them had already reached the United States.
The cops brought Evyapana in handcuffs - a tall, muscular man with short cropped hair and a black T-shirt depicting death with a scythe. The face of organized crime on the Internet.
In Turkey, six members of the Cha0 gang were arrested along with him.
Cha0 was the last on the list of Mularski. Another trump card was taken from DarkMarket. Markus Kellerer - Matrix001 , was arrested in Germany in May 2007, and he spent 4 months in a high-security prison.
Reniqant "JiLsi" Sabramaniam - a resident of England born in Sri Lanka, was arrested in July 2007 after the detectives, together with the anti-organized crime agency, sat in an Internet cafe, which he used as an office, and compared his appearances in cafe with his posts on DarkMarket and chat rooms with master splintrom.
John "devilman" McHugh , was arrested at the same time; the police found a credit card counterfeiting factory in his house.
With the help of Mularski, the police also arrested Yerkan "Seagate" Findikoglu , a black market participant who organized a massive money- making operation in the "King Arthur" style, responsible for $ 2 million stolen from banks. They managed to return one million after his arrest. Twenty-seven members of the Seagate organization were also arrested in Turkey, and the FBI arrested six of its distributors in the United States.
Now that Cha0 and Seagate were behind bars, Mularski’s work was completed. DarkMarket for two years "brought" Mularsk 56 arrests in 4 countries. On Tuesday, September 16, 2008, he published a post announcing the closure of DarkMarket. As a tribute to the history and culture of carding, the FBI agent borrowed the legendary message of King Arthur about closing the Planet of Carding several years ago:
“Good afternoon, dear and dear forum participants,” he began, “it’s time to let you know the bad news — the forum will be closed. Yes, really closed. Over the past year we have lost a huge number of admins on the forums: Aisman in the carders market, JiLsi and Matrix001 have disappeared, and now Cha0 on the DM. It becomes clear that this forum, which has lived for almost 3 years, has begun to attract too much attention from the world intelligence services.
I prefer to leave as King Arthur, and not as Eisman. Isman decided to simply change his nickname to Apex, and continued to manage CM. King Arthur just closed the Carder Planet and disappeared into the night. History has shown that Asman made a huge mistake. I will not repeat it. ”
Mularsky planned to support the legend of the Master Splintra. It was a great legend that could be useful for future investigations. But it didn't happen. A week after the closure of DarkMarket, a reporter for the Sudwestrundfunk, a south-west German public radio, received court documents on the Matrix001 case, which buried the legend of Mularski. The American press very quickly picked up the story. Now 2,500 DarkMarket members knew that they were doing business on a dummy site and that Aisman was right all that time.
Three days after the failure of the legend, Mularsky found an ICQ message addressed to Master Splintru. It was from TheUnknown, one of the suspects, who managed to escape from the police.
“You're *** a piece of ***. ***. Thought you would catch me? Haha Fucking newbie. You didn't even come close to me. ”
(“U fucking piece of shit. Motherfucker. Thought you can catch me. Hahaha. Fucking newb. U are nowhere near me.”)
“If you want to surrender, let me know.” Mularski replied. - “It will be easier than looking around all my life.”
TheUnknown gave up a week later.
Mularski sighed with relief as he learned that he had been uncovered. Two years in a row, the laptop was his constant companion - even on vacation he was online, talking to scammers. Sometimes it gave him pleasure to build relationships with suspects, to tease and mock them. Master Splintr could say such things to criminals that no respected FBI agent could say.
Mularski sought to return his usual life back, it took time. Even a month after closing DarkMarket, he still struggled with anxiety. Mularski had another goal. Stop being a master Splintrom.
The beginning and the translation plan are here: “Shkvoren: schoolchildren translate a book about hackers” .

Animated ha0 then offers a couple of useful tips:
- Do not install the equipment in the morning, as passersby at this time are more alert;
- Do not choose a place through which more than 250 people pass per day;
- Be wary of cities with a population of less than 15,000 - people know too well what ATMs look like and can notice equipment.
Master Splintr knew that ha0 was a burnt felon and could use force to protect his multimillion-dollar business, despite the cartoon-like approach to marketing. And it turned out to be true.

Good day, respected and dear forum members.
The forum should be closed. Yes, I really mean close ... ...
First of all, it’s obvious that you’re not happy. Over the past year: JiLsi and Matrix001 disappeared, ChaO on DM. It is apparent that this is a forum for people who want to travel. It’s a very unfortunate situation, because we’ve established it. Such is life …… when you are on top… people try to bring you down.
Although we’re eliminated from the rippers, we’re still eliminated. They continue to gather evidence on us. They read our posts. There are no special requests. It would be a lot of fun, not to mention a fruitless purity. For we have been attempting this for the last year. Obviously, the effort is futile. It is time to start fresh.
To quote and paraphrase King Arthur of Carder Planet; How clever can we be? But you can find our VPN even though the most darkest corners of the world. All of us can make mistakes. Iceman, ChaO and Maksik are prime examples. We can forget to switch on the VPN, get frustrated with inconsistent proxies, or accidentally give out Identifying informaiton. It is not a secret that FBI employees go to the ISPs and get logs and history logs. It is just the matter of time and will. Hey, I’m not sure where to go. There can be no sub-nets of the C class.
I like it Arthur than Iceman. Whereas the Iceman has been, and continues to run. CM Carol Planet and faded into the night. History has been shown that I will not make the same.
Because of this, I've discussed the situation with the Admins. Should we keep it close longer? It has not been an easy decision for me, because I have spent it a lot. I've thought about selling the forum. However DM has been my soul. How do you sell your soul? I have it. It is what it is. All good things come to an end.
It will close.
I send out my regards all members
Fucktards …… well… fuck you all ……
