Post subject: | WikiLeaks Releases Source Code of CIA Cyber-Weapon |
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/g ... er-weapon/ Quote: WikiLeaks published the first-ever batch of source code for CIA cyber-weapons. The source code released today is for a toolkit named Hive, a so-called implant framework, a system that allows CIA operatives to control the malware it deploys on infected computers. From March to August this year, WikiLeaks has released only documentation for supposed CIA cyber-weapons the organization claims were stolen from the CIA by hackers and insiders, and then handed over to its employees. [...] Below is a list of the most important CIA cyber-weapons released by WikiLeaks as part of the Vault 7 series. ᗙ Weeping Angel - tool to hack Samsung smart TVs ᗙ Fine Dining - a collection of fake, malware-laced apps ᗙ Grasshopper - a builder for Windows malware ᗙ DarkSeaSkies - tools for hacking iPhones and Macs ᗙ Scribble - beaconing system for Office documents ᗙ Archimedes - a tool for performing MitM attacks ᗙ AfterMidnight and Assassin - malware frameworks for Windows ᗙ Athena - a malware framework co-developed with a US company ᗙ Pandemic - a tool for replacing legitimate files with malware ᗙ CherryBlossom - a tool for hacking SOHO WiFi routers ᗙ Brutal Kangaroo - a tool for hacking air-gapped networks ᗙ ELSA - malware for geo-tracking Windows users ᗙ OutlawCountry - CIA tool for hacking Linux systems ᗙ BothanSpy & Gyrfalcon - CIA malware for stealing SSH logins ᗙ HighRise - Android app for intercepting & redirecting SMS data ᗙ Achilles, Aeris, & SeaPea - tools for hacking Mac & POSIX systems ᗙ Dumbo - tool to disable webcams and microphones ᗙ CouchPotato - tool to capture remote video streams ᗙ Angelfire - malware framework for hacking Windows PCs The CIA does some scary things, but I doubt that leaking source code for those scary things is a good idea. |

All of these are great names for malware, although Brutal Kangaroo has to be my favorite. |

CouchTomato's username was probably a twist on "couch potato," so I can see why it'd remind you of them These names are all really funny, I really like the Brutal Kangaroo |
