Dumbo can identify, control and manipulate monitoring and detection systems on a target computer running the Microsoft Windows operating sytem. It identifies installed devices like webcams and microphones, either locally or connected by wireless Bluetooth, WiFi or wired networks.

By deleting or manipulating recordings the operator is aided in creating fake or destroying actual evidence of the intrusion operation. Dumbo is run by the field agent directly from an USB stick; it requires administrator privileges to perform its task.

Achilles is a capability that provides an operator the ability to trojan an OS X disk image. It is compatible with the NOD Cryptographic Specification and provides structured command and control that is similar to that used by several Windows implants.

It runs on Mac OSX The documents were submitted to the CIA between November 21 st , just two weeks after Raytheon acquired Blackbird Technologies to build a Cyber Powerhouse and September 11 th , They mostly contain Proof-of-Concept ideas and assessments for malware attack vectors - partly based on public documents from security researchers and private enterprises in the computer security field.

Raytheon Blackbird Technologies acted as a kind of "technology scout" for the Remote Development Branch RDB of the CIA by analysing malware attacks in the wild and giving recommendations to the CIA development teams for further investigation and PoC development for their own malware projects.

HighRise is an Android application designed for mobile devices running Android 4. It provides a redirector function for SMS messaging that could be used by a number of IOC tools that use SMS messages for communication between implants and listening posts. The implants described in both projects are designed to intercept and exfiltrate SSH credentials but work on different operating systems with different attack vectors.

These credentials are either username and password in case of password-authenticated SSH sessions or username, filename of private SSH key and key password if public key authentication is used. BothanSpy can exfiltrate the stolen credentials to a CIA-controlled server so the implant never touches the disk on the target system or save it in an enrypted file for later exfiltration by other means. BothanSpy is installed as a Shellterm 3. Gyrfalcon is an implant that targets the OpenSSH client on Linux platforms centos,debian,rhel,suse,ubuntu.

The implant can not only steal user credentials of active SSH sessions, but is also capable of collecting full or partial OpenSSH session traffic. All collected information is stored in an encrypted file for later exfiltration. OutlawCountry allows for the redirection of all outbound network traffic on the target computer to CIA controlled machines for ex- and infiltration purposes.

The installation and persistence method of the malware is not described in detail in the document; an operator will have to rely on the available CIA exploits and backdoors to inject the kernel module into a target operating system. OutlawCountry v1. Also, OutlawCountry v1. Once persistently installed on a target machine using separate CIA exploits, the malware scans visible WiFi access points and records the ESS identifier, MAC address and signal strength at regular intervals.

To perform the data collection the target machine does not have to be online or connected to an access point; it only needs to be running with an enabled WiFi device. If it is connected to the internet, the malware automatically tries to use public geo-location databases from Google or Microsoft to resolve the position of the device and stores the longitude and latitude data along with the timestamp.

The malware itself does not beacon this data to a CIA back-end; instead the operator must actively retrieve the log file from the device - again using separate CIA exploits and backdoors. Additional back-end software again using public geo-location databases from Google and Microsoft converts unprocessed access point information from exfiltrated logfiles to geo-location data to create a tracking profile of the target device. Brutal Kangaroo is a tool suite for Microsoft Windows that targets closed networks by air gap jumping using thumbdrives.

Brutal Kangaroo components create a custom covert network within the target closed network and providing functionality for executing surveys, directory listings, and arbitrary executables. The documents describe how a CIA operation can infiltrate a closed network or a single air-gapped computer within an organization or enterprise without direct access. It first infects a Internet-connected computer within the organization referred to as "primary host" and installs the BrutalKangeroo malware on it.

When a user is using the primary host and inserts a USB stick into it, the thumbdrive itself is infected with a separate malware. If multiple computers on the closed network are under CIA control, they form a covert network to coordinate tasks and data exchange.

Although not explicitly stated in the documents, this method of compromising closed networks is very similar to how Stuxnet worked. The Brutal Kangaroo project consists of the following components: Drifting Deadline is the thumbdrive infection tool, Shattered Assurance is a server tool that handles automated infection of thumbdrives as the primary mode of propagation for the Brutal Kangaroo suite , Broken Promise is the Brutal Kangaroo postprocessor to evaluate collected information and Shadow is the primary persistence mechanism a stage 2 tool that is distributed across a closed network and acts as a covert command-and-control network; once multiple Shadow instances are installed and share drives, tasking and payloads can be sent back-and-forth.

The primary execution vector used by infected thumbdrives is a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows operating system that can be exploited by hand-crafted link files that load and execute programs DLLs without user interaction.

CherryBlossom provides a means of monitoring the Internet activity of and performing software exploits on Targets of interest.

In particular, CherryBlossom is focused on compromising wireless networking devices, such as wireless routers and access points APs , to achieve these goals. Such Wi-Fi devices are commonly used as part of the Internet infrastructure in private homes, public spaces bars, hotels or airports , small and medium sized companies as well as enterprise offices. Therefore these devices are the ideal spot for "Man-In-The-Middle" attacks, as they can easily monitor, control and manipulate the Internet traffic of connected users.

By altering the data stream between the user and Internet services, the infected device can inject malicious content into the stream to exploit vulnerabilities in applications or the operating system on the computer of the targeted user. The wireless device itself is compromized by implanting a customized CherryBlossom firmware on it; some devices allow upgrading their firmware over a wireless link, so no physical access to the device is necessary for a successful infection.

Once the new firmware on the device is flashed, the router or access point will become a so-called FlyTrap. The beaconed information contains device status and security information that the CherryTree logs to a database.

In response to this information, the CherryTree sends a Mission with operator-defined tasking. An operator can use CherryWeb , a browser-based user interface to view Flytrap status and security info, plan Mission tasking, view Mission -related data, and perform system administration tasks. The CherryTree logs Alerts to a database, and, potentially distributes Alert information to interested parties via Catapult.

Today, June 1st , WikiLeaks publishes documents from the "Pandemic" project of the CIA, a persistent implant for Microsoft Windows machines that share files programs with remote users in a local network. The implant allows the replacement of up to 20 programs with a maximum size of MB for a selected list of remote users targets. As the name suggests, a single computer on a local network with shared drives that is infected with the "Pandemic" implant will act like a "Patient Zero" in the spread of a disease.

It will infect remote computers if the user executes programs stored on the pandemic file server. Although not explicitly stated in the documents, it seems technically feasible that remote computers that provide file shares themselves become new pandemic file servers on the local network to reach new targets.

It allows the operator to configure settings during runtime while the implant is on target to customize it to an operation. On their website, Siege Technologies states that the company " In an email from HackingTeam published by WikiLeaks here , Jason Syversen, founder of Siege Technologies with a background in cryptography and hacking, " Now instead of bombing things and having collateral damage, you can really reduce civilian casualties, which is a win for everybody.

Once installed on a target machine AM will call back to a configured LP on a configurable schedule, checking to see if there is a new plan for it to execute. If there is, it downloads and stores all needed components before loading all new gremlins in memory. The special payload "AlphaGremlin" even has a custom script language which allows operators to schedule custom tasks to be executed on the target machine.

Once the tool is installed on the target, the implant is run within a Windows service process. Communication occurs over one or more transport protocols as configured before or during deployment. It allows the re-directing of traffic from the target computer inside the LAN through a computer infected with this malware and controlled by the CIA.

This technique is used by the CIA to redirect the target's computers web browser to an exploitation server while appearing as a normal browsing session. The document illustrates a type of attack within a "protected environment" as the the tool is deployed into an existing local network abusing existing machines to bring targeted computers under control and allowing further exploitation and abuse.

Today, April 28th , WikiLeaks publishes the documentation and source code for CIA's "Scribbles" project, a document-watermarking preprocessing system to embed "Web beacon"-style tags into documents that are likely to be copied by Insiders, Whistleblowers, Journalists or others. The released version v1. Scribbles is intended for off-line preprocessing of Microsoft Office documents. For reasons of operational security the user guide demands that "[t]he Scribbles executable, parameter files, receipts and log files should not be installed on a target machine, nor left in a location where it might be collected by an adversary.

According to the documentation, "the Scribbles document watermarking tool has been successfully tested on [ But this limitation to Microsoft Office documents seems to create problems: "If the targeted end-user opens them up in a different application, such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice, the watermark images and URLs may be visible to the end-user. For this reason, always make sure that the host names and URL components are logically consistent with the original content.

If you are concerned that the targeted end-user may open these documents in a non-Microsoft Office application, please take some test documents and evaluate them in the likely application before deploying them.

Security researches and forensic experts will find more detailed information on how watermarks are applied to documents in the source code, which is included in this publication as a zipped archive. Both agencies collaborated on the further development of the malware and coordinated their work in Joint Development Workshops.

HIVE is a back-end infrastructure malware with a public-facing HTTPS interface which is used by CIA implants to transfer exfiltrated information from target machines to the CIA and to receive commands from its operators to execute specific tasks on the targets. Anti-Virus companies and forensic experts have noticed that some possible state-actor malware used such kind of back-end infrastructure by analyzing the communication behaviour of these specific implants, but were unable to attribute the back-end and therefore the implant itself to operations run by the CIA.

In a recent blog post by Symantec , that was able to attribute the "Longhorn" activities to the CIA based on the Vault 7 , such back-end infrastructure is described:. The documents from this publication might further enable anti-malware researchers and forensic experts to analyse this kind of communication between malware implants and back-end servers used in previous illegal activities.

Today, April 7th , WikiLeaks releases Vault 7 "Grasshopper" -- 27 documents from the CIA's Grasshopper framework , a platform used to build customized malware payloads for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Grasshopper is provided with a variety of modules that can be used by a CIA operator as blocks to construct a customized implant that will behave differently, for example maintaining persistence on the computer differently, depending on what particular features or capabilities are selected in the process of building the bundle.

Sign up Log in. A group of Holocaust survivors brought a civil suit against the Vatican Bank over it in The case was dismissed in , but then reinstated in part in Various parts of the case were dismissed again in Who is Vault7?

The photos are part of a series of spy posters created by the U. Why is Vault7? A reverse image search revealed this photo to be from an article posted by Whiteman Air Force Base. Adam Boyd, th Civil Engineer Squadron structural supervisor, welds a box blade for a snow plow, Feb. Structures Airmen perform jobs such as this one to save the Air Force from having to possibly spend money on parts made by civilian companies.

How did Vault7 make its way to WikiLeaks? Some films found in the Stasi archives also show persons dressed in civilian clothing emptying the mailbox after the conclusion of the surveillance action.

Wikipedia cites several sources as saying Stasi was often referred to as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies in history. George Soros is the founder and chairman of Open Society Foundations , the source of this photo. This tweet confirmed that Vault7 referred to files that WikiLeaks has, rather than to a specific person, as some had surmised prior to this tweet.

This comic was the only thing posted from EmbassyCat in reference to vault7 Translated? It talks about how the Papyrus proved that Caesar was lying and all Gaul was not conquered. Ultimately, it appears this clue was simply related to how groundshaking WikiLeaks believed the release would be. Here are just a few of the theories that were suggested about Vault 7. Read the press release from Judicial Watch, where they mention the hearing was postponed, here.

However, the wiretapping suspicion so far is unsubstantiated. So far no conclusive evidence has been found to support this theory. Still others believed that Vault 7 was related to September 11, The fifth tweet featured a photo of someone welding, which some believe is a reference to a conspiracy theory about an angled cut on a World Trade Center beam. Others believed that Vault 7 had something to do with George Soros and the Democrats, since his website was the source for one of the photos.

Another theory was that WikiLeaks would release something related to government spending or military projects. The fifth tweet referenced a photo from Whiteman Air Force Base , the only permanent base for the B B-2 bombers were used in October in Afghanistan.

In several WikiLeaks Reddit discussions , some said Vault7 might reference the next mass extinction event following the sixth, which some scientists say we are in the middle of. This theory is connected to the tweet of the seed vault, and proposed Vault7 had something to do with climate change. That moment when you realize watching the news is irrelevant because the pw for Vault7 drops tomorrow morning. YearZero pic.
