Hacking Team & pfSense
-
I spent half a day last week looking at the "Virginia" keyword doc's. What this is a fascinating insight to a skumbag world.
-
I'd be much happier if these guys would just spend our tax dollars browsing porn all day. At least thats not destructive in any way.
-
Whom do you mean - Hacking Team or Wikileaks?
I don't think any of them are getting tax$. -
Hacking Team? Sure they were getting money from taxes. Our (Czech) police, e.g., has spent millions of $ licensing/purchasing this illegal shit.
-
They have branches in Annapolis Maryland…
I think Annapolis is a brisk walk from NSA... You could jog it for exercise.
-
Its about 26km's…. I'll be a bit sweaty I must admit...
-
Yeah. Its a 15 minute drive….
Coincidence I'm sure. Probably nothing.
-
I agree. Offices at Regus…
I wonder why they couldnt find an office closer since they waste 15 mins each way :D
-
The wikipedia page says they sell to governments and police. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why they would be in Annapolis.
-
Come on, You don't think they had something going on with the Navy do you -Shock- You wouldn't set up shop in Annopolis then move to Dulles for nothing. Call it contract graduation. From the office of naval research(Or maybe the NA) to Tysons Corner. Payola.
Until someone throws a pie in your face!!!… -
To me the sketchy middleman they used for gov sales is the icing on the cake. Hiring a PI to checkout your partner. Classic.
-
I guess you could say Vice got the scoop on this before the hack.

The PI report on the middleman.. -
To be honest I have no problems with this HT company product in a real Democracy if the Governments obey the Law; now the real problem is that code source it is free and it is taken and changed by all scumbags that will target everybody just to steal data/money.
RCS ( from their emails ) it monitor only the targeted user and not the whole computer even if that computer have more users created, you need license for each user monitored on a computer and not for one computer monitored… this is/was a real issue for governments that don't obey the law or are tight on budget and also an obstacle for their sales.
Lots of governments ( even in EU - ex communist countries ) that have complete control over secret services already have this kind of sw bought, stolen or developed by their experts and they target the whole computer or infrastructure ( LAN, Forums... ) and not only one target user.
p.s.
All IT Corporation ( Google, MS, Apple... ) are doing more or less almost the same business ( Track and Sell ) but difference is that people are happy to use and install their product. -
Something interesting to watch:

They need to come out with a version of Windows called Zero Day and spin it in some good way…
-
Windows issues tons of Zero-Day updates… sooooooo....

They're about to come out with Windows one-zero (day). :-)
The "day" is silent…

I found this Snort rule for detecting Adobe exploit from Rook Security:
https://www.rooksecurity.com/hacking-team-malware-detection-utility/alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any > $HOME_NET any (msg:"CVE20155122: Adobe Flash Exploit (Memory Corruption)"; flow:from_server,established; content:"|43 57 53|"; content:"|c9 66 3d 21 24 49 68 69 69 39 12 61 04 4a 49 4e|"; offset:127; sid:9931892; rev:2;anybody can post a link ( or make a quick one ) to a tutorial how to add this custom rule in Snort / Suricata ?
thank you.
