After reading through the user guide, this appears to contain no vulnerabilities/exploits, just a payload to fulfill a need to track the location pattern of a target.
This is very basic stuff which could be easily replicated with kismet and some scripts. I am guessing this is some sort of intern project.
- tgragnato 9y agoWell, it depends on the target: using a sledgehammer to crack a nut can leave you with more damage than results.
- willstrafach 9y agoSorry, I am not sure I understand the analogy?
- xzel 9y agoHe's saying for some simple jobs you don't want to use a more complex too because there could be consequences. In this context, you don't need to use a fancy exploit that could get into the wild, lead to discovery and be blocked from other targets, or whatever else, when you can use something as simple as this exploit.
- willstrafach 9y agoGot it, thank you! I was not trying to criticize this piece of software, just had thought it might be worth mentioning in case folks were curious (As past Vault7 releases had indeed made mention of exploits used).
