Doesn't everyone know this anyway? China and Russia have similar tools. Guarding against this type of thing has been a focus of cybersecurity for at least a decade, to my personal knowledge, and probably a lot longer.

Think people are waking up to the fact the United States of America, the world's leading symbol of Freedom, had 8 years of Obama, 8 years of Bush, 8 years of Clinton, 8 4 years of Bush Sr, who took advantage of the rapidly growing expanse of the internet and funded these tools, used these tools regardless of Nationality, legality, or reason, then lost them. These govt officials are suppose to protect citizens but once again in history absolute power corrupts and instead they weaponized our tax dollars to create tools so they can snuff out competition without the FISA court

Podesta talks about leaving "some way in" in his emails: http://archive.is/oPCi3

But in terms of wanting a way to break in - couldn't we tell tech off the record that she had in mind the malware/key strokes idea (insert malware into a device that you know is a target, to capture keystrokes before they are encrypted). Or that she had in mind really super code breaking by the NSA. But not the backdoor per se?

Ya the clinto bush dynasty cost me 75 dollars.. I bet my friend clinton would win because we have jad a bush or clinton in power for 36 some odd years if u include bush sr as head of the cia and kilary as secratary of state 36 consecutive years and we all know they are still involved behind the scenes.

Not all smart people are good or have morals. Just as many are evil as fuck.

Nope...not even close. Hasn't been for awhile now. Those Russians....I'm good at cyber-security (started in the field in 1982)...but these guys are fuckin artists at virus design. Also I am getting old and sick of lookin at that shit. Now I just deliver pizza and freelance design shit for game companies

I agree. That's why everything goes public like this. They even hack each other.

God damn every time phone or computer wants to do an update all i can think is this is the system updating some type of hack shit. We are addicted to technology but its like being addicted to something that is insidious.

So, like, any virus pre-1995? Except I guess 3.5" floppies were more "hand drives".

Best to have the interface to the air gapped machine (if windaz) via a wired connected Linux box and sync USB on Linux to a folder on windows via syncthing. That way you need a Linux compromise, a syncthing compromise, and the windaz compromise to get across the gap.

Which is what I'm setting up for fun.

I also quite like syncthing, not quite as nice as proper networking but it bears running SMBs or the myriad of other likely vulnerable Win networking crap!

Wouldn't it be more secure to just super glue a plug into those computers usb/firewire/sata ports?
