WikiLeaks
Part
3 - CIA malware targets Windows, OSx, Linux, routers
The CIA also
runs a very substantial effort to infect and control Microsoft
Windows users with its malware. This includes multiple local and
remote weaponized "zero days", air gap jumping viruses such
as "Hammer Drill" which infects software distributed on
CD/DVDs, infectors for removable media such as USBs, systems to hide
data in images or in covert disk areas ("Brutal Kangaroo")
and to keep its malware infestations going.
Many of
these infection efforts are pulled together by the CIA's Automated
Implant Branch (AIB), which has developed several attack systems for
automated infestation and control of CIA malware, such as "Assassin"
and "Medusa".
Attacks
against Internet infrastructure and webservers are developed by the
CIA's Network Devices Branch (NDB).
The CIA has
developed automated multi-platform malware attack and control systems
covering Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux and more, such as EDB's
"HIVE" and the related "Cutthroat" and "Swindle"
tools, which are described in the examples section below.
