Recently a Dutch man with an MSc (Master of Science) at the Delft University of Technology and admin of Tor-exit nodes was approached by two agents of the Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD. They wanted to recruit the man as an informant or undercover agent, who would also infiltrate foreign hacker communities. The person tells his story.

if we ask you to crash a system in a public place and you would be arrested for that, we make sure you don’t get arrested and nobody will know about it, not even the police

say what you want but they do a nice job at describing what it is like working for many law enforcement agencies around the world.

Here in the U.S. they just go to/hold a job faire.

Want to work for the NSA? Find their booth. ;)

why are the dutch even bothering fucking with the Tor network to begin with? they allow nearly all of the worlds MDMA and amphetamines to be made, WTF do they think is going to happen? Europe cannot take down (consume) all of that MDMA on its own, let me tell you.... they have weak ass drug laws and then want to put a dent on the sales? fuck outta here

Good for this guy, a real hero.

I'll say most security/intel people like this, aren't bad people, they're just misguided. The only answer in fighting back is slowly convincing them they are wrong, not ridiculing them.
