The first cache of NSA hacking tools contained quite a lot of material, such as zero-day exploits and tools to bypass firewalls (Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, and TOPSEC), a toolkit to extract VPN keys, backdoors for Linux systems, and several Windows exploits.
This second cache is quite fresh, and security researchers haven't had the time to search it in its entirety. As of now, we know of the following findings:
Easton Moore
Dont know if you are joking or not, but some tv news almost literally said that years ago, just change 4chan to anonymous
Zachary King
What can I do with it?
Caleb Miller
Ideally, this will pressure everyone to pacth up the holes revealed by these tools. If they don't, now not only can the NSA exploit them, but whoever has these tools.
Adam Nguyen
Hey, has anyone been to the ADL website recently?
Aiden Hall
Bump.
Julian Jenkins
That's definitely going to end up being a fun thing for /baph/, I imagine.
Logan Thomas
This guy on halfchan noticed that medium post was from future for him.
Thomas Edwards
pumb 400 pound hacker on the loose
Jaxon Campbell
I am not sure how medium timestamps work but I have been researching timestamps of ShadowBrokers a bit:
He probably has timezone set to Russia to pretend he is GRU/FSB
TheShadowBrokers already "slipped" once when he "accidentally" posted full screenshots with dd/mm/yyyy file format
Note that in vault 7 there are clear instructions for CIA coders to: (S//NF) Avoids direct correlation to origination in the United States. (S//NF) DO NOT leave dates/times such as compile timestamps, linker timestamps, build times, access times, etc. that correlate to general US core working hours (i.e. 8am-6pm Eastern time) (S//NF) Maintains consistency across tools, and avoids associations with the United States. (S//NF) DO NOT use US-centric timestamp formats such as MM-DD-YYYY. YYYYMMDD is generally preferred.

You look around for interesting websites in need of volunteer administrators. Like, Media Matters, for instance. Subtle is better than obvious.

Actually they said 4chan and if I remember correctly it was when fappening happened.
Yeah, amazing archive.is/P6NGY how normalfags even those who support Trump can easily dismiss this with balls of steel just because of the grammar without verifying it because they're either lazy or afraid of the FBI knocking, even the Leftists retards are dismissing this shit because the Muh Russia narrative.
Thomas Anderson
Is this not what the fucking sticky at is about? Check the catalog before posting a thread.
Evan Cruz
Yeah, but people miss it because of no "TheShadowBrokers" in the title and completely offtopic picture.
Yeah, retards never heard about stylomety and language obfuscation.
Also on news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14068280 plenty of Russians saying that this doesnt sound like something written by Russian but clearly American

You see the ZOGbot fourth comment down? "Sounds like left wingers". These people are so programmed they aren't salvageable.
Zachary Turner
NSA here, whatcha doing? We expect you accomplished hackers to hack our avowed enemy, the CIA. You had best quickly provide many, many incredibly damning and extremely interesting hack dumps in the near future! We are depending on you to Make America Great Again, and to pry out of the Satanic CIA and leak all their files from those evildoers!!!
