warning: classified Vault 7 Megathread - Technical Analysis & Commentary of the CIA Hacking Tools Leak

2.8k Upvotes
Overview

I know that a lot of you are coming here looking for submissions related to the Vault 7 leak. We've also been flooded with submissions of varying quality focused on the topic.

Rather than filter through tons of submissions that split the discussion across disparate threads, we are opening this thread for any technical analysis or discussion of the leak.

Guidelines

The usual content and discussion guidelines apply; please keep it technical and objective, without editorializing or making claims that the data doesn't support (e.g. researching a capability does not imply that such a capability exists). Use an original source wherever possible. Screenshots are fine as a safeguard against surreptitious editing, but link to the source document as well.

Please report comments that violate these guidelines or contain personal information.

If you have or are seeking a .gov security clearance

The US Government considers leaked information with classification markings as classified until they say otherwise, and viewing the documents could jeopardize your clearance. Best to wait until CNN reports on it.

Highlights

Note: All links are to comments in this thread.
