The Snowden leaks gave a pretty good picture of what the capabilities are. They do most certainly not have backdoors into every possible crypto system.
SHA1 should probably be replaced for example, but thats not all crypto by a longshot.
Their are good talks at the C3 confernce about 'Post Snowden Crypto', specially by 'ruedi'. He goes into detail about all the major crypto system and explains how risky they are, and what we know about the NSAs efforts to break them.

- caskance 11y agoWhat Snowden leaked is a lower bound on the NSA's capabilities, not an upper one. And even in the "best" case, where he and the journalists involved exercised no discretion about what he leaked and no data was classified beyond even his access, that data is now several years old.

- caskance 11y agoWhich part of that comment was an unsupported assertion? The "assertion" that documents leaked in 2013 are now several years old? The "assertion" that not every single capability the NSA has ever developed is now public knowledge?
