CIA-Malware Archimedes
Today, May 5th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes "Archimedes", a tool used by
the CIA to attack a computer inside a Local Area Network (LAN), usually
used in offices. It allows the re-directing of traffic from the target
computer inside the LAN through a computer infected with this malware
and controlled by the CIA. This technique is used by the CIA to
redirect the target's computers web browser to an exploitation server
while appearing as a normal browsing session.
The document illustrates a type of attack within a "protected
environment" as the the tool is deployed into an existing local network
abusing existing machines to bring targeted computers under control and
allowing further exploitation and abuse.
