The latest hack revealed over the weekend has nothing to do with the Democratic Party or George Soros, and instead a mysterious hacker group by the name “The Shadow Brokers” claims to have hacked the Equation Group - a government cyberattack hacking group associated with the NSA, and released a bunch of the organization's hacking tools. The hackers are also asking for 1 million bitcoin (around $568 million) in an auction to release more files.
It would be great if Iran used the US gift cash to buy it…..or is this more likely to be NSA hacks the NSA?
I get that the hackers should get some money, not only as reward for the info but to sustain them as they do more good ol hackin, but $568m is a bit much.
David Torres
Governments around the world would pay half a billion EZPZ for NSA software and tech…. These hackers arent as gullable as you mate :D
Kayden Rodriguez
Know where someone might download these free tools? Got any torrent links?
Ryder Hernandez
What's with all these mystery hackers lately? Every other kike seems to be getting his shit cracked wide open these days, surely this couldn't be some sort of cohencidence with jews playing both sides?

this gotta be a fucking joke
Jaxson Jenkins
Yeah I guess you're right, they're looking for a government to buy out these NSA tools, not a private citizen looking to share the info.
Brayden Morgan
That targets 9gag no matter what
Jacob Bailey
>The hackers are also asking for 1 million bitcoin (around $568 million) in an auction to release more files.
That's way too much, it's ridiculous. Neither the Russians or the Chinese will pay half a billion to these guys.
Julian Morris
Not when your own population (cough china) doesn't have as many geniuses as white people and would never build the tools themselves X-DDDDDD
+ Seems like a lot of people at the top are getting "hacked" publicly lately. + For example, what good does doxing congressmen do? Sure does get a lot of congressmen up in arms about "securing" the internet. + Attacks that do not dump mountains of information into the public space are designed to do one thing, to push the idea that the internet needs to be "secured". + "Shadow Brokers"? Top kek. This is a name chosen to facilitate the name recognition between their narrative and normal fags who have played mass effect. + This narrative of "Securing the Internet" will be used in the coming months to begin an all out assault on free-speech and content in tandem with TPP being passed in December 2016.

So I downloaded and extracted the free stuff, what exactly are we looking at here? I've only got a layman's understanding of this stuff, sans a bit of java programming.
This was all under a folder called "Firewall"
Zachary Sanchez
What's in the folders? I imagine the NSA have at least a few proprietary file formats that can only be opened with their own software.
Juan Parker
Check the Tools folder.
Juan Reed
Bunch of stuff. BANANAGLEE leads to folders named BGxxxx, x's being numbers likes 2100, 2200, and one called BANANAUSURPER. Similar stuff down other folders.
This one? Remember I have no clue what im doing here so more than that would be great. My curiosity is driving me here more than anything.

You don't need as many geniuses, just a few bright enough people and a few more smart enough to follow them. With a 1.5 billion population of chinks China should have plenty of them. 1.5 billion guarantees a few geniuses, unless we're talking abos.

Also, under fw_wrapper there's a tools.zip with two things in it, "netaddr", which says it's a python library for representing and manipulating network addresses, and "pexpect" which according to the readme is for making python a better tool for controlling other applications.
Grayson Reyes
Well, they state the public will never see it unless they reach the one million bitcoin goal.
You know, I wonder if this is related (in some way) to Snowden's super secret message he sent towards the beginning of the month on Twitter.
Probably not utterly speculating
by the way
THIS PLEASES ME

I got a couple of boxes I can airgap. If there is a second thread or something later I will start posting there. My only concern is that there is badbios/evilusb attacks overwriting firmware.
I have some basic skills in malware analysis and masm cracking. I wonder what the malwares use for custom AES lookup tables.
Brandon Lopez
Is that you vigilant bro?
I do get the sense that these leaks are potentially "forced"
Idk the wikileaks have been juicy. Soros one's could be a tarp. This NSA one seems fishy
Benjamin Torres
Something big is in the works right now and I am not exactly sure what. I think it possible that there is a coup going on right now with the TPP / Hillary / Banks / Multinationals. They know the TPP is quite exposed and that there will be civil unrest if it is put into effect. Both the left and the right agree this is bad for the USA and yet it continues to be pushed.
Our narrative is starting to prevail, time to take away the platform. There is going to be massive action taken against the free-net soon.
STAY VIGILANT
Brayden Rogers
This source seems to have a lot of information: archive.is/vhNrg
Isaiah Nguyen
Pol doesn't talk about all the important shit that goes around in the world, either because there is too much shit going on, shills, or just because they can't name the jew, all types of nigger, etc.
For quite some time now the american Deep State have been annoying all 3 types of hackers, passing laws, hunting those who don't work for the government, and goes on. This is one of the possibilites, an open cyber insurgency.
The other is literal cyber warfare. Guess who started this over night by using the US as a proxy ?
Either way, that is a large amount of money, but you can find specific stuff on the deepweb for all sorts of eletronic criminals going for half a million. This auction is aimed at nation states, not individuals, but some crazy dude with billions can burn that cash.

Landon Young

Logan Walker
Well recently it was announced that russia will be able to control 100% of its internet traffic in a few years. Someone mentioned that communications are the first thing seized before a coup/war. A thread on it was made
Just hours after that thread it was unveiled google, twitter, fb were going to launch an initiative to be able to put a lid on right wing extremism in european countries within 24 hours.
Now all these leaks… which mind you is being pinned on russians and alt-righters. Perhaps some leaks will in fact be damning and spamming a leak everyday will drown it out.
Btw, keep up your autism. I think you're actually doing us and newfags a service by at least interjecting any suspected shilling/etiquette we take for granted. You don't seem to be spamming either so I see no harm so far

it is related. There is a reason why the most recent file is dated June 2013– that's the month and year Snowden went public with his leaks.
It isn't a coincidence we have seen leaks of archives in recent days since he went dark
Nathan Parker
The US fucks with Russia ALL the time. We always see the stories about Russia invading NATO airspace, but the US does that exact shit and similar to Russia constantly.
Connor Rogers
further evidence: wikileaks already had this archive before it was released.
the recent debate between Snowden and Assange on how to redact/censor some leaks led to his choice of speech in using a "pristine copy"

This is definitely a ruse, or the plot is much thicker. It's very possible one of the guys from the EQ is leaking this information, or they're fucking with everyone and the ultimate horsefucking is on the horizon.
>The use of virtual file systems, a feature also found in the highly sophisticated Regin malware. Recently published documents provided by Ed Snowden indicate that the NSA used Regin to infect the partly state-owned Belgian firm Belgacom. >The stashing of malicious files in multiple branches of an infected computer's registry. By encrypting all malicious files and storing them in multiple branches of a computer's Windows registry, the infection was impossible to detect using antivirus software. >Redirects that sent iPhone users to unique exploit Web pages. In addition, infected machines reporting to Equation Group command servers identified themselves as Macs, an indication that the group successfully compromised both iOS and OS X devices. >The use of more than 300 Internet domains and 100 servers to host a sprawling command and control infrastructure. >USB stick-based reconnaissance malware to map air-gapped networks, which are so sensitive that they aren't connected to the Internet. Both Stuxnet and the related Flame malware platform also had the ability to bridge airgaps. >An unusual if not truly novel way of bypassing code-signing restrictions in modern versions of Windows, which require that all third-party software interfacing with the operating system kernel be digitally signed by a recognized certificate authority. To circumvent this restriction, Equation Group malware exploited a known vulnerability in an already signed driver for CloneCD to achieve kernel-level code execution.

I wish I could say it were that noble, it is entirely based on my confidence that they won't do anything about it.
They couldn't start rounding up people who downloaded these files just because it would leave them completely unable to save face; it'd be a Pyrrhic victory for them because it would show everyone how fragile they really are if they were openly threatened by a single leak. Not to mention that it would hugely exacerbate the anti-NSA sentiment if they went full commissariat.

Because they want you to take the gay routes. Unless you were lesbian femshep, then it was because they want to show you what a lesbian is supposed to be.
The Equation Group (EG) is responsible for hyper-advanced malware like Stuxnet, Duqu/Flame, and Strider/Project Sauron. These viruses are the most advanced pieces of software ever discovered by top antimalware labs such as Kaspersky. They can target industrial systems, oil pipelines, and nuclear facilities.
Nobody in the Information Security (infosec) sector actually wants to call EG out on being the NSA because, well, it’s the fucking NSA. But everyone knows it.
A hacker group going by the name Shadow Brokers (SB) have hacked the NSA and released many free exploits to the world, not least among them being a backdoor to Cisco routers. The metadata on these files dates back to 2013, the same time as the Snowden leaks. Snowden and Wikileaks have confirmed these exploits (hacking tools) as legitimate. The release was on Github, but has since been taken down. >web.archive.org/web/20160815155959/https://github.com/theshadowbrokers/EQGRP-AUCTION/
DO. NOT. DOWNLOAD. THESE. FILES. UNLESS. YOU. WANT. TO. BE. V&. PERMANENTLY.
Cryptolocker, as you should know, is the virus that encrypts your computer unless you pay the ransom in bitcoins. SB is holding an auction for control of an NSA virus which is a combination of Stuxnet and Cryptolocker which targets the banking system. The activation of such a virus would result in the complete collapse of the financial system.
The NSA has software which can identify a person’s writing style as if it were their fingerprint or iris. SB probably used a program like Anonymouth to defend against that.
Aaron Baker
If the NSA doesn’t win this auction, whoever does can crash the economy with a simple stroke of the keyboard. This is not a drill. This is the real happening. Get money out of the bank until this is resolved. Stock food.
There’s already shady hacker type stuff happening on this account.
There are also /tinfoil/ implications to this since BRICS propaganda outlets have been talking about this exact scenario for a month or two now. Multiple warnings posted saying to watch the news for a banking virus that will take a weekend to fix. It won’t come back on. They say you have 72 hours after the announcement.
meh, my money is tied up in mortgage debt, i have almost no actual liquid cash except what my mortgage offset allows me.
This benefits me, i will own outright 2 properties if the banks collapse and get brought up under national government banks.

I fucked Liara my first time through, Asari are natural sluts since they can reproduce with any race. They also have a kind of cold, calculating, materialistic viciousness hiding underneath their charms.
If you think about it, they're pretty close to being like Russian or Ukrainian women with those traits. Kind of like how the Volus are the space Jews, and the Krogan are Mongolia.

I don't want anyone to waste their time watching the first season of the TV series Mr.Robot because it's not good past the 1st episode and it's not a spoiler anyway but what you described is Elliot's plan to crash the global financial system and erase all debt.
Ryan Johnson
Didn't one of the Chinese markets have about that much "disappear" not too long ago?
Jonathan Wright
I don't think that's how they will allow that to play out. Pretty sure it will work out like:
If there were any honesty left in the world a bank failing should nullify all debts owed to it, since if the bank failed those debts were given on nonexisting funds which we know to be true
It would give an instant boost to the economy and the only injury sustained would be to those kikes that own interest in the bank itself.

The price will skyrocket for a short amount of time, speculators will be very happy. Most people who mine bitcoins are too dense to actually use their heads and see market manipulation.
Speculators from Malta, China and another country that I don't recall manipulated the market a few times in the last 3 years.
Also, if a nation state buys that amount of bitcoin, it will use services and bots, to buy little amounts in massive quantities, just to " pass unnoticed ".
This NSA hack will set the precedent they are looking for to turn encryption into an illegal thing.

You can identify people fairly accurately just by a few paragraphs of text they wrote.
There are open source tools that do this fairly reliably at a rate of 80-90 percent. You can bet your ass that any government agency will have software that can link your posts on Holla Forums to any other writings you have on the internet.
It's like a fingerprint of your frontal lobe.
