Any chance this is a red-fish (herring)? honeypot?<p>It is amazing to me that contractors have left NSA content on AWS then Army content on AWS. Red usually means bad, in terms of teams, and has since the cold-war. Russians like &quot;Red&quot; so the enemy was &quot;red&quot;. Remember &quot;red route 1&quot; from Red October?<p>I&#x27;d imagine that, seeing how intelligence folks can listen to any cell phone, they might be able to listen to any cpu. If they could do that, even in a greatly limited sense, then any software that gives a clear &quot;characteristic signature&quot; would really be bait, no matter what else was in it.
