The WikiLeaks-hosted “Vault7” collection of documents allegedly leaked from within the CIA’s Computer Operations Group is a messy mix of jargon, incomplete info and broken (or redacted) links. The information is interesting, but it’s quite difficult to find a basic description of many of the terms used, even using the search function. So for everybody’s convenience I’ve gone through the whole pile of docs and listed as many of the tools and techniques mentioned by spook IT as I could find.
I’ve included tools that seemed significant but had no real information on them at the bottom of each list. I did not include links because projects and their descriptions are often spread across multiple pages or PDFs. I also did not include commercial tools (such as Lockheed Martin’s DART software testing suite) or operation names (like JQJHAIRPIECE) that seem to merely be specific deployments of other tools.
This list is by no means comprehensive or authoritative , nor should the leaked files be considered comprehensive of the hacking tools created and used by the CIA.
