WikiLeaks Reveals "Archimedes": Malware Used To Hack Local Area Networks | Zero Hedge

In its seventh CIA leak since March 23rd, WikiLeaks has just revealed the user manual of a CIA hacking tool known as ‘Archimedes’ which is purportedly used to attack computers inside a Local Area Network (LAN). The CIA tool works by redirecting a target's webpage search to a CIA server which serves up a webpage that looks exactly like the original page they were expecting to be served, but which contains malware. It’s only possible to detect the attack by examining the page source. Per WikiLeaks:



Today, May 5th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes "Archimedes", a tool used by the CIA to attack a computer inside a Local Area Network (LAN), usually used in offices. 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.

I can not imagine how much the public would have no idea what sneaky bastard tactics would be done on the American people and all behind our backs.

Julian has informed the people just how badly we have been used as a tool to spy on as if we are all nothing but caged rats being help prisoner. Enslaved the moronic part are the sheeple who accept it all while not having a gawd dam clue it's been a tactic of brainwashing to keep you all in the same herd. The Governmental herd". A WOLF IN SHEEPS clothing works well on those who deny every aspect of reality
