What is the possibility that this was a deliberate leak meant to obfuscate the true state of the art of what the CIA uses? Would that be too much of the trap of "hyper-competence" or the kind of thing you'd hope-for/expect-from an intelligence service?
- wila 9y agovery small chance. They won't go and put a bucket load of these type of tools on a server to leak. Makes no sense at all.
- zdkl 9y agoI take it you don't work in high assurance security. You should be more paranoid!
- danek 9y agoTrue, keeping your enemies in the dark about your true capabilities is a useful strategy (unless it is a doomsday device, then you should tell the world). Strategic leaks of misinformation is one way to go about it. Also low-quality exploits could be made on purpose to be intentionally found. The victim finds it and then thinks they are in the clear, while the a more sophisticated real exploit is lurking undetected.
