The NSA's New Risk Analysis
This interesting article describes how the NSA has a series
of servers around the Internet designed to break into other computers. These
servers are designed to lure other computers to them. Once the targeted
computer connects with the NSA server, the target is evaluated as to value and vulnerability.
An appropriate exploit this then used on the target computer. The NSA has
profiles on target computers, evaluating the risks to take on the target, its
value, what data is desire, and what methods to use. For high value targets the
NSA reserves zero-day exploits. The NSA does place a high value on keeping its
intrusions undetected. The report states that Microsoft gives advanced warning
to the NSA before it patches any of its vulnerabilities. Big Brother is
watching you.
