You also have to consider who has the capability to actually use these tools - its not like they come with a user manual. Could Joe Schmo download these and start using them tomorrow? Probably not.
Also, I'm pretty sure this isn't "the entire hacking capacity of the CIA". If you consider all the stuff that came out with the Snowden leaks, you'd think this is more likely the tip of the iceberg in terms of tools they're currently using. I would think they're developing new tools and techniques daily.

Wikileaks does like to put their spin on things.
- alva 10y agoThey have stated this is part 1 of a long series of Vault7 releases, so it might be possible.
- freeone3000 10y agoReading the leak, these are very clearly tool manuals. Some of the technical documentation is better than the official stuff!
- erikbye 10y agoThese tools, whether from NSA or CIA, are made to be easy to use, and they come with detailed instructions and user guides.
