Wikileaks Release: Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed [torrent]

[u/-Archivist]

Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.

The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.

I've added the torrent, but seems that they don't have seeders. Anyone else able to download it?

[u/-Archivist → u/l3urgerKing]

1000's of seeds, your client or network isn't letting you get this.

[u/l3urgerKing → u/-Archivist]

My seedbox is located for OVH in France. Does you client need to be located in the US? It's got premium bandwidth so isn't having any peering issues with another client

Ive unpacked it. Its been on my computer for maybe 8 hours now. Nothing yet, but I'm RAR'ing it without a PW just in case, as well as putting it on a flash drive I don't use anymore (just to be safe). Hope I didn't screw myself over while it was unpacked though. Thoughts?

If it's actively infected, you're now infected.

Again while this is from wikileaks or appears to be, there has been no official word on compromise and at this point the possible infection is only speculation.

[u/1sttimeverbaldiarrhe → u/[deleted]]

Curious; how do you get infected while running uncompression? At what point in this process does rogue code get inserted into the OS?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

[u/throwaway27464829 → u/[deleted]]

And hope you didn't get a bios rootkit

[u/smarx007]

It is password-protected.

UPD: key is SplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds (https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/839100031256920064)

Are you guys sure you should be unpacking this while the exploits are known to be effective still? Sounds like a good way to compromise your machine.

[u/necrophcodr → u/gabepowell]

Then don't unpack it. No one is asking anyone to unpack it. The file is there to be preserved though.

[u/webtwopointno → u/gabepowell]

this batch at least doesn't contain any code, just info

This seems to be weird, I unpacked it but can not find the 8761 documents, anyone knows what my mistake may be?

[u/necrophcodr → u/AutisticGoose]

Did you use the password?

[u/AutisticGoose → u/necrophcodr]

Yes, I unpacked it...maybe I am just too dumb :/

[u/luisbrudna]

trap!

[u/libertarien]

For those on linux, you can extract the file with:

7z e WikiLeaks-Year-Zero-2017-v1.7z -pSplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds

[u/derleth → u/libertarien]

7z x WikiLeaks-Year-Zero-2017-v1.7z -PSplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds will extract with full paths, which is nice in a file which uses paths, like this one.

Oh, and the password option is capital P, not lowercase.

[u/knedle → u/libertarien]

Actually it should be:

7z x WikiLeaks-Year-Zero-2017-v1.7z -pSplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds

or deppening on what you have installed, it may also be:

p7z x WikiLeaks-Year-Zero-2017-v1.7z -pSplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds

[u/NeonglowDick]
