Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed

UMBRAGE
The CIA's hand crafted hacking techniques pose a problem for the agency. Each technique it has created forms a "fingerprint" that can be used by forensic investigators to attribute multiple different attacks to the same entity.

This is analogous to finding the same distinctive knife wound on multiple separate murder victims. The unique wounding style creates suspicion that a single murderer is responsible. As soon one murder in the set is solved then the other murders also find likely attribution.

The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the "fingerprints" of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

UMBRAGE components cover keyloggers, password collection, webcam capture, data destruction, persistence, privilege escalation, stealth, anti-virus (PSP) avoidance and survey techniques.

So it wasn't Putin, in the study, with the candlestick after all.

[Lou]

this won't mean a thing - just like the Hillary emails 

[Make Angels Great Again]

If this is true, then the CIA holds more power than any other office or agency on the planet. To the point where the CIA should be dismantled.

I ❤️ Wikileaks

This should make everyone feel warm and fuzzy. 

"Wikileaks further claims that the CIA recently ‘lost control’ of the majority of the malware used to attack iPhones and iPads …"

Obama is quickly moving into the category of one of the all-time worst Presidents in US history when it comes to civil liberties.

So from what I'm getting in all that.  Is the CIA stole from the North Koreans, to blame the Russians.  When it was probably a 12 year old in Kansas that was behind everything.

Oh, and after reading the article.  Aren't the French our allies?

"Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.

That's bananas.

Having them listen to you through your TV set is so 1984.

I wonder if the yungins know what 1984 is?  I'm really being serious, because outside of actually going to school during 1984, is it still a book that would be assigned in school?

[Lhalo]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was banned. There are safe spaces to be preserved and shit like that.

The CIA has been investigating ways to manipulate the control systems of modern cars and trucks that could be used for covert assassinations, WikiLeaks said on Tuesday as part of its dump of more than 8,700 documents that it claims are from the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence.

"As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks," WikiLeaks said in a statement. "The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations."

Pfft.  Like Felix would need such crude methods.  James either.

[Ordos]

Anyone wonder, if the CIA can do all this, why do they let WikiLeaks post all this, instead of just hacking their system? Or, better yet, what if they are behind the leaks in the first place?

[Lhalo]

Cui bono at the CIA?

[Ordos]

No idea, hence question A

[Jason]

So the Will Smith movie "Enemy of the State" was a documentary? 

[UndertheHalo]

If theres one guy I could give less of fuck about getting murdered by the CIA.  Its Julien Assange.  Fuck that guy.
