New website online: http://www.moph.gov.kp

Website is for Ministray of Public Health of the DPRK. What’s interesting is that it just recently came online but has articles dated back to 2019. Looking into it further but was possibly something that was only internal to North Korea

Back in 2007 Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp apparently published two mobile games that were developed in conjunction with Nosotek Joint Venture Company, which markets software from North Korea for foreign clients: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rupert-murdoch-reportedly_b_707617

I’ve found a copy of the big lebowski game, looking for men in black.

I’ve been on the lookout for finding North Korean software. I’ve got a decent collection now. One of the things that I’ve been searching are sites where people are checking running processes. I found this the other day: http://windowfdb.com/i.php?q=ghusb-dll-c-windows-system32

I’ve never heard of the Golden Horse program but some more digging reveals that it’s  “a physical constitution characterization and diagnosis program”: https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=JIlh9nNeadMC&pg=PA249&lpg=PA249&dq=%22golden+horse%22+%22north+korea%22+-paektu+-award+-film+-awards&ots=gy_sDcyaaW&sig=ACfU3U0CciFH3au9bwWz8g2d7MD-H2-XMA&hl=en#v=onepage&q=%22golden%20horse%22%20%22north%20korea%22%20-paektu%20-award%20-film%20-awards&f=false

I haven’t been able to find a copy yet but it’s going on the list of things to watch for

I noticed something interesting browsing through the source of the new DPRK portal site the other day. Specifically, this snippet:

	p{
	  font-family: '천리마', 'KP CheonRiMa', 'KWP ChonRiMa', 'PRK P Gothic';
	  margin-bottom: 0px;

I had to Google it, but found the following on a Chinese forum

KP CheonRiMa is a font developed in North Korea. Some further searching lead to the following:

A new site has recently been posted on the DPRK portal website: http://www.naenara.com.kp/sites/national/original/en

Slowly uploading tracks from a North Korean karaoke DVD to the Youtube channel. Playlist can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGXVVd7-ABKZLyIziA3HoNDCGRX1zy3I

This was an interesting read. It’s an older presentation from 2013 about the capabilites of the Chosun Computer Center. Slide 11 is interesting since the offer mock simulations of major cyber attacks

There’s a couple of VPN’s out there that list having servers in North Korea. I’ve emailed a few of them to get some more information but this post investigates everything nicely and explains why it isn’t true: https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/north-korea-dprk-bgp-geoip-fruad

If you aren’t familiar with the Shadow Brokers group there’s a decent article here: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/05/shadow-brokers/527778/

Looking through the leak there’s one interesting thing that I found. Based on the code it looks like the CIA was using these tools in North Korea. There’s lines specifically looking for Silivaccine running on an endpoint.
