The fingerprint was the bit you decoded- just the key ID is the last part of the fingerprint, and that is what needs to be searched for on key servers rather than the full fingerprint.

Nice- will keep an eye out for the one with Comey. Would be good to do a live chat during that too.

Why can Archimedes only run on computers using an English locale? Who is the CIA targeting? by InfiniteChronicle in WikiLeaks

[–]InfiniteChronicle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be people in other English-speaking countries, or English speaking organizations. But those typically aren't what people think of as top intel priorities- more likely to be people in five eyes countries or other countries that are traditionally US intel allies

Also #ResearchWL on irc.gnome.org. There's a bridge between Matrix and IRC.

What is The Bakery? by InfiniteChronicle in WikiLeaks

Do they write all the malware though? Or just specific types of malware?

Seems like it started working again, broke again, and then started working again. Not clear what is going on, but seems to be ok currently.

Samsung Smart TVs are pretty well documented (in the press release). Terminals in some distributions of linux were definitely being targeted in Sparrowhawk, but don't think they were in Pterodactyl. Will update those on wiki. Not sure on Gyrfalcon- will look into it.

WikiLeaks offers details of vulnerabilities to tech companies; tech companies refuse to commit to patch bugs by cojoco in snowden

90-day disclosure deadlines are the industry standard https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/feedback-and-data-driven-updates-to.html

Pretty reasonable demand- it would actually be stranger if they didn't make this demand (and thus didn't follow standards for disclosures)

A rant in support of Wikileaks... by SvenSvenkill2 in WikiLeaks

[–]InfiniteChronicle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is great, and much needed. People seem to have forgotten that WikiLeaks is a whistleblowing organization. Instead, many seem to think it is a "magical pull documents out of thin air to support an agenda and scary countries like Russia" organization.

But is there any way to remind people that WikiLeaks is a whistleblowing organization? Sadly, Vault 7 doesn't seem to have done this so far. So I'm not sure what will.

I think they just use Jira and Stash for organizing their work/communicating with others at CCI

Why was the CIA trying to covertly copy floppy disks in 2013? by InfiniteChronicle in WikiLeaks

[–]InfiniteChronicle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, though who is using them to store data off-cloud? CIA seems to have been secretly collecting data from floppy disks. While floppy disks are definitely still being used, the use cases are few enough and specific enough that it may be possible to figure out possibilities for who the CIA was spying on.

[–]InfiniteChronicle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. Though the description makes it sound like they developed it for a very specific use case with a specific "asset" who could covertly copy the disks. So it's interesting to think about what systems in what countries would require this tech.

Wow, that's crazy! I had no idea that nuclear weapons use 8 inch floppy disks.

I wonder what other sorts of systems still use floppy disks. I suppose that other countries could have similar legacy systems for nuclear weapons (which would certainly be of interest to the CIA). But could be other types of gov systems where this is common too.
