WikiLeaks dumps CIA malware toolkit for hacking into air-gapped networks using tainted USB thumb drives. Brutal Kangaroo is the generic name of a project that includes the following tools. CIA uses these tools as part of a very complex attack process, which starts with a CIA operative using Drifting Deadline to generate first and second-stage malware used in the attacks, on a per-target basis. The process then moves on to using various other CIA tools to infect a computer in the target’s network.
