I've decided to post this article anonymously. As much as I would have loved to get credit for it, it is not worth putting the safety of my Korean guides at risk. They are great people, and having any connection to this (even though everything done was legal), could cause them to suffer consequences under the regime.
In the Spring of 2016 I had the chance to travel to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, known in the West as North Korea. The trip was very enlightening, and I’ve come away with a lot of new personal thoughts about the country. This post is not about my personal thoughts though, this post is about my love of cybersecurity and my constant want to be put on new national security lists.
