Wikileaks heeft meer documenten naar buiten gebracht inzake de Vault 7 documenten, die eerder werden gepubliceerd. In deze nieuwste Wikileaks publicatie genaamd ‘Hive’ wordt uitgelegd hoe de CIA via het illegaal installeren van malware (virus) op computers (tot en met telefoons en zelfs CCTV systemen >> cameratoezicht) van derden, men alles kan zien, wat er op een besmette computer gebeurd en deze zelfs kan gebruiken om acties uit te voeren (bijvoorbeeld de verkiezingen in de VS manipuleren en deze manipulatie toeschrijven aan anderen, zoals de Russen, wat uit eerdere Wikileaks documenten bleek…….)…..
Anti-Media bracht afgelopen maandag het volgende artikel, waar men ook aandacht schenkt aan Pompeo, de topterrorist van de CIA, die onlangs Wikileaks bestempelde als een terroristische organisatie, althans anders kan je zijn woorden niet interpreteren. Daaronder de reactie van Assange, die met een paar simpele woorden, gehakt maakte van het vuil, dat Pompeo durfde te spuien.

Reveals Hive: The CIA’s Top Secret Virus Control System
Wikileaks Reveals Hive: The CIA’s Top Secret Virus Control System

(MPN) Early
Friday morning, Wikileaks released
its fifth batch of Vault
7 documents
exposing the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s hacking techniques.
The latest release, titled “Hive,”
exposes the agency’s multi-platform malware suite that allows the
CIA to monitor targets via malware as well as the ability to realize
specific tasks on compromised machines.
Hive
is said to provide customizable implants for a variety of operating
systems for distinct types of devices, not just computers, tablets,
and phones. Among the platforms vulnerable to Hive include Linux,
Windows, Solaris, MikroTik (used in Internet routers), and AVTech
Network Video Recorders (often used in CCTV recording). First
released in 2010, Hive is essentially an “implant” that functions
as both a beacon and shell, allowing CIA hackers to gain a foothold
in devices that allow them to deploy any number of other tools, such
as those detailed in previous releases.
Wikileaks
has described Hive’s function as
a “back-end infrastructure malware” that uses public HTTPS
interfaces which provide “unsuspicious-looking cover domains” to
hide its presence on infected devices. Each of those domains is
linked to an IP address at a commercial Virtual Private Server (VPS)
provider, which forwards all incoming traffic to what is termed a
“Blot” server. All re-directed traffic is then examined by CIA
hackers to see if it contains a valid beacon. If it does, then a tool
handler – called Honeycomb in the
released documents –
and the CIA then begins initiating other actions on the target
computer. The released
user guide shows
that Hive allows for the uploading and deleting of files as well as
the execution of applications on the device.
Unlike
some other Vault 7 tools which can persist indefinitely on targeted
devices, Hive comes with a “self-delete”
function that
allows the malware to destroy itself if it receives no signal from
the CIA for a set amount of time. The self-deletion leaves only a log
and configuration file, containing only a time-stamp behind.
Apparently this feature posed difficulties to CIA developers as the
self-deletion can “be problematic due to the inability to
accurately assess the reliability of the host’s system clock,”
according to the
Hive Developers Guide.
Wikileaks
noted that anti-virus companies along with forensic experts have
noticed before that malware, potentially originating from a
state-actor, utilized the same back-end infrastructure implantation
that Hive employs. Through the analysis of the communication between
specific implants, these experts and software companies were
able to determine that
the malware’s origin came from a “well-resourced organization
which was involved in intelligence gathering operations.”
However,
there had been unable to attribute the back-end or the implants to
the CIA, though Wikileaks’ release of Hive may change that. Indeed,
Wikileaks noted in its press release that “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.”
Wikileaks’
latest release comes on the heels of CIA
director Mike Pompeo’s aggressive statements against
the transparency organization in which he labeled them “non-state
hostile intelligence service.” He also condemned Wikileaks’
editor-in-chief, Julian Assange of making “common cause with
dictators.” While other
CIA directors have targeted both
Wikileaks and Assange in the past, Wikileaks now five releases of top
secret CIA hacking tools may have prompted an escalation in Pompeo’s
rhetoric. It remains to be seen if this rhetoric will translate into
action, however.
Assange,
for his part, doesn’t seem too concerned, choosing to respond with
a witty retort that incisively pointed out the CIA’s lack of
credibility in making such accusations:
Julian Assange @JulianAssange
Called a “non-state intelligence service” today by the “state non-intelligence agency” which produced al-Qaeda, ISIS, Iraq, Iran & Pinochet.
