原標題:美博客曝光NSA間諜工具 8英裡外可入侵WiFi網絡
新華網12月31日電 據美國科技博客Gizmodo報導,德國《明鏡周刊》最近報導了NSA的「特定入侵行動」黑客工具包。現在有一個匿名博主在LeakSource上發布了一批照片,都是NSA的一些名字很搞笑但又很可怕的間諜工具清單。
這份2008年的產品目錄展示的是NSA下面一個名為ANT的部門的工具。ANT可能是「網絡訪問技術」或者「高級網絡技術」的簡稱。在這份目錄裡,你能看到可以獲得手機位置信息或者啟動手機麥克風的軟體,以及可以讓NSA入侵電腦硬體的優盤等。大部分軟體攻擊的都是電腦的BIOS——電腦啟動時的基本軟體系統——所以你不能通過格式化硬碟來清除。有些軟體完全沒有成本。
我們羅列出了一些大概的項目,但是你有必要去Leaksource看看完整的清單:
頭水(HEADWATER):這個所謂的「永久後門」可以入侵華為路由器。華為現在正準備退出美國市場,因為美國對其進行間諜活動。
床頭櫃(NIGHTSTAND):這個硬體允許間諜入侵WiFi網絡並且進行網絡攻擊。工作距離有8英裡。
地鼠套裝(GOPHERSET):這是手機黑客夢寐以求的工具。這款GSM手機植入軟體使用了SIM卡的API,也就是STK。它可以向手機發送命令,間諜可以獲得聯繫人清單和手機簡訊等任何內容。
猴子日曆(MONKEYCALENDAR):這款GSM手機植入程序可以讓間諜訪問手機的位置信息。和地鼠套裝類似的是,它可以無線安裝。
畢卡索(PICASSO):這是一款間諜軟體。這款軟體可以收集通話記錄、位置信息,甚至可以打開手機麥克風來監聽房間裡的對話。軟體還附帶「緊急停止」按鈕,但是目錄沒有解釋其功能。
棉口蛇一號(COTTONMOUTH-I):這個看起來像是普通的老實優盤,但其實是一個小型間諜電腦。目錄上說它可以創建「無線橋接網絡接入到目標網絡中,還可以向目標電腦上傳破壞軟體。」

A Peek Inside the NSA's Spy Gear Catalog
Der Spiegel's fairly harrowing report about the NSA's hacking unit, Tailored Access Operations (TAO), got a little more harrowing this morning when an unnamed blogger at LeakSource published images from the agency's hilariously-named and terrifying spy gear catalog.
The 2008 catalog shows off the tools of an NSA division called ANT which presumable stands for Access or Advanced Network Technology. Inside, you can see everything from a mobile phone software that gobbles up location information or activates the phone's microphone to a USB stick that gives the NSA an open door into the computer's hard drive. Since a lot of the software implants target the BIOS—the most basic software on a computer used to boot up the machine—they can't be found or removed by wiping the hard drive. And some are as cheap as $0.
We've listed a few of the sketchier items below, but it's worth clicking though to Leaksource for the full catalog.
HEADWATER: This so-called Persistant Backdoor (PBD) gives spies a way to access Huawei routers. This is particularly since Huawei is the company that recently threatened to stop doing business in the US due to spying.
NIGHTSTAND: This hardware lets spies break into WiFi network and deliver cyberattacks. It works as far away as 8 miles.
GOPHERSET: This is a phone hacker's wet dream. It's a GSM software implant that uses the SIM card's API, known as the SIM Toolkit or STK, to send commands to the phone. From there, the spy can pull anything from lists of contacts to the content of text messages.
MONKEYCALENDAR: This software implant for GSM phones can grant spies access to all of a device's geolocation information. And like GOPHERSET it can be installed over-the-air.
PICASSO: Now this is spyware. This software implants can collect call metadata, location data and even turn on the phone's microphone to pick up conversations in the room. It also features something called a "panic button," but the catalog doesn't explain its function.
COTTONMOUTH-I: It looks like a regular old USB stick but it's actually a little spying computer. The catalog says it creates "wireless bridge into a target network as well as the ability to load exploit software onto target PCs."
