WikiLeaks leaked documents that detail the Archimedes tool used by the CIA in MitM attacks

WikiLeaks has released a news batch of documents detailing the Archimedes tool, a MitM attack tool allegedly used by the CIA to target LAN networks. The leaked documents, dated between 2011 and 2014, provide details about a tool initially codenamed Fulcrum. The tool allows operators to redirect LAN traffic from a targeted computer through a machine controlled by the attackers before it is routed to the gateway. SANS instructor Jake Williams who analyzed the leaked documents said the tool seems to be a repackaged version of popular MitM tool Ettercap.”]
