One In The Chamber, One In The Socket Mac OS

Today, Wikileaks published more documents part of its Vault 7 CIA exposé series, revealing new manuals for three tools named Achilles, Aeris, and SeaPea, part of a larger CIA project named Imperial.

The MCS runs on both the PC and Mac computers. Development on the PC and Mac are parallel so that no differences should be noted except perhaps very small differences in significant figures for some numerical values (far smaller than model uncertainty). Update: Also, you may not be getting a struct sockaddrin from accept.For example, if the connection is an IPv6 connection, you would get a struct sockaddrin6.The safest approach would be to use a struct sockaddrstorage. Ideally, you should switch from gethostbyaddr to getnameinfo.The latter takes a struct sockaddr. argument, to which you can supply the pointer to your struct sockaddr.

Customer support platform. Our knowledge base is a resource for the iFi community to find user manuals, tech guides, video tutorials and FAQs for your iFi products in one place. Choose OS while starting up. You can select which operating system to use during startup by holding down the Option key. This displays icons for all available startup disks, and lets you override the default setting for the startup disk in Startup Disk preferences (Mac OS X) or the Startup Disk control panel (Windows) without changing that setting.

Each of the three tools has a different purpose, being developed to target only a specific set of operating systems. Hey, hugo! mac os.

Achilles

The first of these tools is named Achilles and this is a utility for trojanizing macOS DMG installers.

According to a one-page user guide released by WikiLeaks, Achilles allows an operator to bind an executable to a DMG file for a one-time execution. On the round square mac os.

Running the DMG file installs the original app, installs the payload, and then removes the payload from the DMG file. Using a one-time execution routine is typical to US cyber-intelligence, who are known to put a lot of effort into remaining undetected on targeted machines.

Aeris

The second CIA hacking tool manual released today is for a tool called Aeris, which is an implant (malware) for POSIX systems.

According to the document, Aeris is written in C and can work on the following operating systems:

Debian Linux 7 (i386)
Debian Linux 7 (amd64)
Debian Linux 7 (ARM)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (i386)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (amd64)
Solaris 11 (i386)
Solaris 11 (SPARC)
FreeBSD 8 (i386)
FreeBSD 8 (amd64)
CentOS 5.3 (i386)
CentOS 5.7 (i386)

Under the hood, Aeris includes features specific to data exfiltration utilities, usually used to steal information from targeted hosts via secure TLS-encrypted channels.

The Aeris manual doesn't include details of how the data is collected, most likely meaning its part of a larger attack chain and CIA operators must use other tools to compromise systems, identify desired data, download Aeris, and only then exfiltrate any collected information.

SeaPea

The third and final manual released today is for an OS X rootkit named SeaPea. This tool's manual was previously released in another WikiLeaks CIA dump named DarkSeaSkies, a collection of tools for hacking Macs and iPhones, released in March.

To review, SeaPea provides CIA operators with a kernel-level implant that allows them to persist infections on OS X systems between system reboots.

Additional capabilities include the ability to hides files or directories, start socket connections or launch desired (malicious?) processes.

The SeaPea manual is old, being dated to the summer of 2011, and lists as 'tested operating systems' two very old OS X versions — Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).

Today's dump is part of a larger series called Vault 7 contains documents WikiLeaks claims were stolen from the CIA by hackers and insiders. You can follow the rest of our WikiLeaks Vault 7 coverage here. Below is a list of the most notable WikiLeaks 'Vault 7' dumps:

ᗙ Weeping Angel - tool to hack Samsung smart TVs

[prMac.com] Essen, Germany - Independent development team Creating Your App is today proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Network Toolbox, their popular all-in-one networking utility for macOS computers. Network Toolbox allows users to analyze and maintain their private or public networks, detecting security issues and improper configurations.
The app offers over 40 convenient networking-related tools, expanding on the features of the Network Toolbox for iOS, providing features that are only possible on the macOS desktop environment. Network Toolbox provides in-depth information about a user's internal and public networks, integrating network scanners, as well as various terminal, network analysis, and network exploration tools.
'Users have made the iOS version of the Network Toolbox app one of the most popular networking tools available in the App Store today,' says Creating Your App company owner Marcus Roskosch. 'While we could have just used Catalyst to directly port the iPad version of the app over to macOS, we wanted to do more than that. We created an entirely new Mac app that is compatible with Macs running macOS 10.15 Catalina and up.'
Network Toolbox features include:
* Over 40 easy-to-use and convenient network tools
* In-depth information about your available networks
* Replaces multiple network tools with a single all-in-one app
* Perfect for professionals and rookie users
* Scanning tools, including Wi-Fi scanner, Port and Network scanners, Bonjour, UPnP, and Bluetooth scanners
* Telnet, FTP, SFTP, SSH Terminal, and Windows SMB
* Ping, Visual Traceroute, Whois, DNS, and Reverse DNS
* MAC Address database and IP Calculation
* Lookup ASCII Codes, Port numbers, Status codes, and even socket pinouts and cable wiring
* Check Mac information like Memory usage, CPU type, OS information, and even show the cookies on a device
* Integrated tools can be used to run additional tools
* Maintain all network devices with Network inventory Tool
* Browse files on local hard drive, SMB shares, FTP and SFTP servers, upload and download files
* Integrated file viewer offers viewing of JSON, XML, PList, HTML and HTML-Source, CSV / TSV, and Binary files as HEX
* Full-featured integrated terminal fully supports XTerm/ANSI coding
* Integrated data conversion tool allows users to encode and decode to and from various formats, including Base64, MD5, SHA

* Much, much more
The macOS version of Network Toolbox is not a simple Catalyst port from the iPad. There are numerous differences between Netbook Toolbox for iOS and this macOS version. Network functionality is quite restricted on on iOS. Users are unable to display MAC addresses, or have access to Wi-Fi. These restrictions don't apply to the Mac version. The Mac app allows displaying of MAC addresses, a real WiFi scanner, and even a connections tool that was not allowed in the iOS app. The Mac app also fully takes advantage of desktop Mac features, including the presence of a mouse and physical keyboard, and much more screen real estate to work with.

Network Toolbox's main menu screen allows users to select from Tools, Maintenance, Resources, and System menus from the left side of the app's screen, clicking each selection will display icons for each category's functions.
By using the app's network inventory tool users can maintain their network assets to keep an overview of their network. Multiple login credentials can be maintained for each network device. All information is always stored with strong encryption and an optional user definable password. Network Toolbox offers Touch ID support when available.
If users have questions about the various features of the app, an online manual is available from the app's Help menu. A PDF version of the manual is also available for download. Users can also search for functions or tools by using the convenient search field, located at the top of the app's window.
Device Requirements:
* Requires macOS 10.15 or later.
