Modern cybercriminal tools: GEOBOX on Raspberry Pi
Cybercriminals Utilizing Raspberry Pi for Advanced Digital Fraud Tools
In today’s world, cybercriminals are constantly refining their attack methods, leveraging increasingly sophisticated technologies. One of the latest trends is the use of devices such as Raspberry Pi to create user-friendly tools for digital fraud.
GEOBOX – Advanced Tool Available on the Dark Web
One such tool is GEOBOX, which can be found on the Dark Web. This tool gives cybercriminals advanced capabilities for GPS manipulation, network simulation, Wi-Fi impersonation, and bypassing anti-fraud filters. It allows turning ordinary IoT devices into powerful tools for cybercriminals, marking a “breakthrough in cybercriminal tactics.”
Criminals Targeting IoT Devices
Currently, cyber attacks are primarily aimed at Internet of Things devices. Criminals employ OPSEC techniques and customizable settings to operate without detection and ensure anonymity for the perpetrators. With tools like GEOBOX, cybercriminals have easier access to modern methods of attacking IoT systems.
Features and Costs of GEOBOX Tool
GEOBOX offers a range of features such as masking Wi-Fi MAC addresses, manipulating geolocation using GPS spoofing, and online communication through WebRTC IP. The tool also supports various types of internet connections, including VPN protocols like L2TP, PPTP, OpenVPN, and the creation of a VPN tunnel within another VPN tunnel.
The GEOBOX package can be rented for a one-time fee of 700 USD or a monthly fee of 80 USD, payable in cryptocurrencies. This tool can be found on the Telegram application and is specially designed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B devices, facilitating cyber anonymization and fraud.
Possible Uses of GEOBOX Tool
GEOBOX can be utilized for various purposes such as coordinating cyber attacks, operations on the Dark Web, financial fraud, malware distribution, disinformation campaigns, network security testing, and falsifying geographical locations. The emergence of such an advanced tool necessitates robust digital risk monitoring and device protection strategies.
Summary
GEOBOX is one of the latest tools employed by cybercriminals to conduct sophisticated attacks on IoT systems. It introduces new challenges to the field of cybersecurity, requiring continuous improvement of defensive strategies and close collaboration among law enforcement agencies.
