!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [SIGINT] program [Architecture] that capitalises on [vulnerabilities|Vulnerability] within [applications] and [networks] using a number of hacking techniques and was developed by [NSA] [Office of Tailored Access Operations]
[{$pagename}] relies on a compromised [router] that duplicates [internet] traffic, typically [HTTP] requests, so that they go both to the intended target and to an [NSA] site (indirectly). The [NSA] site runs [FOXACID] software which sends back exploits that load in the background in the target web [browser] before the intended destination has had a chance to respond (it's unclear if the compromised router facilitates this race on the return trip).
Prior to the development of [{$pagename}] technology, [FOXACID] software made spear-[phishing] attacks the [NSA] referred to as [spam]. If the browser is exploitable, further permanent "implants" (rootkits etc.) are deployed in the target computer, e.g. [OLYMPUSFIRE] for [Microsoft Windows], which give complete remote access to the infected machine. This type of attack is part of the [Man-In-The-Middle] [attack] family, though more specifically it is called man-on-the-side attack. It is difficult to pull off without controlling some of the [Internet] backbone.The [NSA] creates "[fingerprints]" that detect [HTTP] requests from the Tor network to particular servers. These [fingerprints] are loaded into NSA [Government Data Store] systems like [XKEYSCORE], a bespoke collection and analysis tool that NSA boasts allows its analysts to see "almost everything" a target does on the Internet.
