'Vault 7': WikiLeaks Exposes CIA's Global Covert Hacking Program in Largest Ever Leak (32)

1138723

WikiLeaks on Friday published additional 27 documents, part of a Vault 7, a larger series of releases of CIA classified documents, with the latest batch focused on the Grasshoper platform for building malware, the whistleblowing organization said in a press release.

"Today, April 7th 2017, 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," the Wikileaks press release read.

According to the whistleblower site, Grasshopper may be used by CIA to determine whether the operating system is being protected by a certain anti-virus or what version of Windows it is operating on.

"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. Additionally, Grasshopper provides a very flexible language to define rules that are used to 'perform a pre-installation survey of the target device, assuring that the payload will only [be] installed if the target has the right configuration'."

CIA: Deadliest Intel Organization on Earth, #Vault7 Confirms

MARCH 9, 2017 COVERT GEOPOLITICS 1 COMMENT

Two nights ago, Wikileaks started releasing what the whistleblowing platform dubbed as the #Vault7 Series of damaging information into the inner workings of the CIA.

The first iteration “Year 0” describes the specific tools that the Deep State agency has been using against its friends and foes.

Said tools include ways and means to penetrate and control the firmware of your smartphone, smart TV, laptops, desktop computers, and your smart car.

CMOS chip

In fact, any piece of electronic equipment, which has a basic programmable CMOS chip in it, can be manipulated to work according to their whim, for as long as the battery is in place.

Dumb Chips in Smart Appliances

A CMOS chip is composed of several electronic switches which can be used to store instructions and data, when coupled to a power source. Billions of these electronic switches in one chip make a CPU, i.e. the brain inside your laptop.

A firmware is a cross between a software and a hardware. While a software contains instructions for the hardware to comply, a firmware is instruction and hardware in one.

The CMOS is the hardware, and instructions are electrically written, or programmed into it, making the whole assembly as the firmware. It is the first to act when a computer, or any smart devices, is turned on, performing the necessary bootstrap preparations, self-checking routines, and loading the operating system.

Without the instruction starting at the firmware, any hardware or gadget is just a piece of junk.

Laptops, personal computers, and similar devices are all using CMOS firmware that are usually connected to a coin battery, so that even if it looks like the appliance is switched off, it is not.

Coin battery supplying power to the CMOS functioning as the BIOS, or firmware, on a PC motherboard.

CMOS in smart appliances is far more advanced which may also employ supercapacitors, which can store large amounts of energy.

Solid state storage disks used in your laptop, for example, are not only made up of thousands of CMOS chips, but is also utilizing supercapacitors as its own source of power to maintain data. In short, the embedded power source may not, at all times, look like a battery, and the appliance need not be connected to any convenience outlet.

Even our smartphone’s camera sensor is also made up of CMOS chip…

The sensor technology, called CMOS, is increasingly being used in today’s cameras, allowing users to shoot 1080p video and apply complex imaging effects with ease. Traditionally, CCD sensors have been thought to produce better-looking images with less visual noise and distortion, but they draw more power and provide slower data-throughput speed.
