WikiLeaks Vault 7 Marble: Latest Leaks Show CIA Ability To Hide Origins Of Attack
International Business Times ^ | 3/31/17 | AJ Dellinger

WikiLeaks continued its ongoing release of documents from the CIA Friday with a collection of files detailing the agency’s ability to obscure its activities and make it difficult for investigators to attribute the origins of attacks and hacking.

The latest release from what WikiLeaks calls Vault 7 is titled “ Marble ” and contains documentation of files that are purportedly part of the CIA Core Library of malware code. WikiLeaks describes Marble as part of the CIA’s “anti-forensics approach.”

The name “Marble” refers to a specific algorithm that scrambles and unscrambles data.

Marble is one of the more technical releases that WikiLeaks has published as part of Vault 7. According to the documentation, the CIA tool is “designed to allow for flexible and easy-to-use obfuscation" by using "string obfuscation algorithms” that are used to link malware to a specific developer.

To accomplish this, the tool hides text fragments found in CIA malware from visual inspection, making the attack difficult to attribute to a specific source. Within the source code for the tool is a “deobfuscator” that essentially reverses the algorithm used to disguise the attack origin.

CIA has been WAY too powerful for WAY too long.

Just ask JFK.

I dont think the founding fathers would appreciate the CIA in its current form AT ALL.

You’d know better than me with your FR name :)

Heck, there were conspiracy reports that he was good friends with the HincKley family.

If one is into conspiracy theories :) I would not be shocked on this one. He was forced on Reagan and was a on World Gov guy from the start.

I listened to Rubio saying yesterday that russians again tried to hack him. He said it came from some place or other inside russia.

Immediately I thought of the CIA’s false flag capability.

Apparently, Rubio is not familiar with VPNs.

What is most hilarious - as I just saw on O’Reilly where Wes Clark and some other Democrat Dunderhead tried their damnedest to shift the focus back to “Russians interfered in our election!” just like their talking points told them to, it’s like they haven’t learned a damn thing.

What have the rest of us sentinent beings learned that they haven’t? How about the fact that with the CIA’s hacking tools (which were released by Wikileaks - Vault7) - it is possible for anyone to make it appear as if they were from somewhere else online. The stuipid Democrats keep yammmering about “Russians!” based on what? Based on analysis of their online activities, is what. The very thing that the CIA had the ability to fake.

They’re like little kids who get up in the middle of the night and see Santa putting presents under the tree but not noticing that Santa is wearing Daddy’s shoes.
