WikiLeaks: CIA Spying on Home Wi-Fi Routers
WikiLeaks: CIA Spying on Home Wi-Fi Routers
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/wikileaks-CIA-spying-home/2017/06/19/id/796877/
Home Wi-Fi routers made by Linksys, DLink, Belkin and other top tech firms have been used by the CIA to monitor the flow of internet traffic, documents revealed by WikiLeaks show.
The infected routers spy on the internet-connected devices' activities without the user knowing, turning them into "covert listening points," the Daily Mail reports.
A 175-page CIA user manual for setting up the spying activity dubbed "Cherry Blossom," reads in part:
"The Cherry Blossom (CB) system provides a means of monitoring the internet activity of and performing software exploits on targets of interest. In particular, CB is focused on compromising wireless networking devices, such as wireless (802.11) routers and access points (APs), to achieve these goals.
It also explains how a maneuver called "tomato'' can steal the routers' passwords if a default feature known as a universal plug and play is left on.
The manual, according to the Daily Mail, is about 10-years-old.

"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'."
The program allows to create tools that go undetected by major anti-viruses.
The Wikileaks added that the Grasshopper batch sheds lights on "the process of building modern espionage tools and insights into how the CIA maintains persistence over infected Microsoft Windows computers, providing directions for those seeking to defend their systems to identify any existing compromise."
On March 7, WikiLeaks released the first part of what it called an unprecedentedly large archive of CIA-related classified documents. According to the website, a large archive comprising various viruses, malware, software vulnerability hacks and relevant documentation, was uncovered by US government hackers, which is how WikiLeaks gained access to some of the data from the trove.
The "Year Zero" batch was followed by the "Dark Matter" released on Match 23. The third batch called "Marble" was released on March 31.
The White House has condemned the leaks, stressing that those responsible for leaking classified information should be held accountable in accordance with the law.

#Vault7: WikiLeaks release shows CIA ‘Grasshopper’ used stolen ‘Russian mafia’ malware
Published time: 7 Apr, 2017
WikiLeaks has released the fourth part of ‘Vault 7’, named ‘Grasshopper’, the latest in a series of leaks detailing alleged CIA hacking techniques. It details malicious software WikiLeaks claims was taken from “suspected Russian organized crime.” .......... In a statement from WikiLeaks, ‘Grasshopper’ was described as providing the CIA with the ability to build a customized implant which will behave differently, depending on the security capabilities of a computer.
According to WikiLeaks, Grasshopper performs “a pre-installation survey of the target device, assuring that the payload will only [be] installed if the target has the right configuration."
This allows CIA operators to detect if a target device is running a specific version of Microsoft Windows or if an antivirus is running, according to the statement.
