Emails da fornecedora de Malware e Vigilância italiana, Hacking Team, dos arquivos da organização de transparência Wikileaks, faz uma analise do NSO Group Technologies, grupo israelense, que trabalha e fornece programas espiões para serviços de inteligência de governos:
"Um ponto-chave de vendas: NSO afirma que pode ajudar a monitorar smartphones de pessoas alvos de agências governamentais."
"Eu não vou escrever uma análise crítica da tecnologia comercializada pelos meus amigos na NSO. Nem vou comparar a tecnologia da NSO com o Hacking Team."
"Estou provavelmente qualificado para afirmar que cada Fornecedor de segurança ofensiva tem seus próprios truques e tal truques podem surpreender, você poderia ser tentado a achar que é mágica, mas é só ciência, é Ciência Computacional."
"Na arena de segurança de computadores, qualquer truque temtaxa de obsolescência rápida, todo truque é efêmero. É umjogo de gato e rato, realmente - você, a segurança ofensiva fabricante, deve implacavelmente, continuamente e rapidamente atualizar, atualizar, inovar sua tecnologia - sua
“Mágica” - para mantê-lo totalmente operacional."
"Por último mas não menos importante: Hoje, há muito marketing hype no negócio de segurança de computadores."
O documento revela na troca de emails dos agentes da HT, a irmandade das empresas em trabalhos sujos na WEB. Há uma clara semelhança entre as duas empresas de Malware & Vigilância. Trabalham para agencias de espionagem em todo mundo:
"O Jornal não pôde verificar, independentemente, se o código realmente ajuda a conduta da lei de
vigilância. Mas pessoas que expressaram preocupação com o NSO capacidades incluem desenvolvedores em quadros de mensagens e funcionários da CIA, de acordo um ex-funcionário dos EUA familiarizado com o intercâmbio. No artigo da Defense News, a empresa disse que tinha foi concedida uma licença de exportação para uma agência governamental no México. A pessoa familiarizada com a recente venda da NSO paraFrancisco disse que a empresa "vende em todo o mundo, apenas para entidades governamentais.”

I am NOT going to write a critical analysis of the technology
marketed by my friends at NSO.
NOR I am going to contrast NSO’s technology with Hacking
Team’s technology.
“ “We’re a complete ghost,” NSO co-founder
Omri Lavie told Defense News, a military trade
publication, last summer. “We’re totally transparent to
the target, and we leave no traces.” "
THE following FACTS are notorious:
#1 “Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.” , the legendary science
fiction writer Arthur C Clark said;
#2 In this world, there are no things like magic or ghosts;
#3 I am probably qualified to assert that every
Offensive Security vendor has his own tricks and such
tricks might astonish you and you could be tempted tothink that it’s magic but it’s only science, it’s Computer
Science;
#4 In the computer security arena any trick has a very
fast obsolescence rate, every trick is ephemeral. It’s a
cat and mouse game, really — You, the Offensive Securitymaker, must relentlessly, continuously and quickly
update, upgrade, innovate your technology — your
“magic” — in order to keep it fully operational;
#5 Last but not least: TODAY, there is A LOT of
marketing hype in the computer security business.
Enjoy the reading and have a great day!

A key selling point: NSO claims it can help monitor
smartphones of people targeted by government agencies.
One person who recently saw a demo by the company
said its technology silently took over a BlackBerry
device. On LinkedIn profiles, its engineers also claim
an expertise in Google’s

“We’re a complete ghost,” NSO co-founder Omri Lavie
told Defense News, a military trade publication, last
summer. “We’re totally transparent to the target, and
we leave no traces.”
Lavie and other NSO employees declined repeated
interview requests. But the Journal pieced together
some details about the company, based on company
disclosures lingering on the Web, people close to the
firm and foreign press reports.
The company “is a leader in the field of cyber
warfare,” according to a slide linked to from Lavie’s
personal website. “Our offering includes coverage of

the most popular handset operating systems [and]the use of government, law enforcement and
intelligence agencies,” the slide says.
NSO technology “allows remote and stealth monitoring
and full data extraction from remote targets devices
via untraceable commands,” the slide says.
Francisco Partners bought the company for $110
million this spring, a person familiar with the deal
said. Francisco, which didn’t return repeated requests
for comment, has invested in companies such as Blue
Coat, whose product include Internet filtering tools.
“It’s a homeland security type company,” the person
said of NSO. This person said it uses suitcase-size
devices to intercept mobile phone traffic.
Other details about NSO’s technology remain a
