Wikileaks has been releasing CIA sensitive documentation of Hacking Tools as part of their Vault 7 series, this time it made a public documentation by releasing two more hacking tools called Elsa and OutLawCountry.<\/p>\n
OutLawCountry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n OutLawCountry is a tool that allows CIA to hack into Linux-based systems and perform a cyberespionage on the victims. According to leaked documents this tool allows CIA to hack into victim linux by manipulating the network traffic.<\/p>\n Working of OutLawCountry<\/strong><\/p>\n The tool works by injecting a Kernel module into the target system through accessing the shell and subsequently creating a Netfilter table that contains rules. The table is created using the iptables command, and these rules can only be seen if the administrator of the affected device knows the table name.<\/p>\n However, since the table name is already hidden, the administrator of the victim has no means to know the name. Furthermore, the CIA uses usual backdoor exploits to infiltrate the system with the tool.<\/p>\n Once installed, the tool simply redirects outbound network traffic to CIA\u2019s computers and allows the CIA operator to extract and perform analysis on the data.<\/p>\n
