NSA hacked and hacking tools from NSA for sale?
For now security experts are dumbfounded.
The shadowy NSA hacked by rival Russia hackers at the highest level and their hacking tools are out for sale in an auction, up to $1000 000 in bitcoins.
If it's true, NSA may be responsable for more costly data breaches in the future, for its mismanagment of security issues.

Re: Shadow Brokers NSA Hack Leaks 0-day Vulnerabilities
One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that the CIA and NSA and (back when they existed) the KGB go around the world making trouble. This is because if there was no trouble, their budgets would get cut. It is scary when I see evidence for the joke theory.labbe5 wrote:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/15 ... spy_tools/

It could be that the hacks listed are ones that are already fixed and some sort of trap is being set. Catching those who would use such information red handed could be the real purpose. At this point it not enough is known.
Just so long as nobody figures out how to get my secret files from my puppy machine, I am not too worried.

Post those files to the forum and we'll check out if they're secure enough.Moose On The Loose wrote:Just so long as nobody figures out how to get my secret files from my puppy machine, I am not too worried.
Here at the nsa hekpdesk we aim to please...
Files look legit but it's hard to verify if they are from NSA or not?
probably a bit dated since they seem to be from pre-2013
NSA or whoever is the Author has surely continued on
developing code base since then.
A lot of linux tools in file dump that are executable on linux system.
Seems exploiters also follow good programming policy
of providing --help text for their programs.
I want to put some time in testing noclient-3.0.5.3 and noserver-3.0.5.3-i686.pc.linux.gnu.redhat-5.0-static programs to see what they can do.
As usual it's very interesting to see what state-level-spies are up to
