## Sonic Screw Driver

## From Wikileaks.org
https://wikileaks.org/vault7/darkmatter/?cia


#### "DarkSeaSkies" is "an implant that persists in the EFI firmware of an Apple MacBook Air computer" and consists of "DarkMatter", "SeaPea" and "NightSkies", respectively EFI, kernel-space and user-space implants.

#### Documents on the "Triton" MacOSX malware, its infector "Dark Mallet" and its EFI-persistent version "DerStake" are also included in this release. While the DerStake1.4 manual released today dates to 2013, other Vault 7 documents show that as of 2016 the CIA continues to rely on and update these systems and is working on the production of DerStarke2.0.

#### Also included in this release is the manual for the CIA's "NightSkies 1.2" a "beacon/loader/implant tool" for the Apple iPhone. Noteworthy is that NightSkies had reached 1.2 by 2008, and is expressly designed to be physically installed onto factory fresh iPhones. i.e the CIA has been infecting the iPhone supply chain of its targets since at least 2008.

#### While CIA assets are sometimes used to physically infect systems in the custody of a target it is likely that many CIA physical access attacks have infected the targeted organization's supply chain including by interdicting mail orders and other shipments (opening, infecting, and resending) leaving the United States or otherwise.

Awesome.  I see this post is about Apple products specifically, however here is a video that is only 1 minute long and shows "How to tell if you are vulnerable to CIA hacking tools"

Pretty much if you use a Unix based system connected to the Internet (just about everything anymore), you are vulnerable.

Apple users get the added benefit of being pretty much completely helpless and exposed though.

Shoulda GNU/Linux or Tails :/

I made this summary of the good stuff: https://steemit.com/news/@rebelskum/wikileaks-vault-7-part-ii-dark-matter-all-your-macintosh-are-belong-to-cia

Also I worked closely with the WikiLeaks Research Community today to analyze the documents, and some interesting findings came from that as well. Pokemon, Broadcom vulnerabilities, and more! 

Bad day for Apple.

Pokemon-Go? If so, not a big shocker, it looked like it was designed for tracking individuals from the get go.
