Wikileaks releases copies of FinFisher surveillance software

See yesterday&#x27;s discussion <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8317358" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=8317358</a>

So, how long until finds RCE bugs in the Proxy, Relay and Master? There is possibly quite a bit of these to be found via Shodan...

That ggi file is a self-extracting bash script.<p><pre><code> #!&#x2F;bin&#x2F;bash echo &quot;&quot; echo &quot; FInstaller 1.0&quot; echo &quot;-----------------------&quot; export TMPDIR=`mktemp -d &#x2F;tmp&#x2F;selfextract.XXXXXX` ARCHIVE=`awk &#x27;&#x2F;^__ARCHIVE_BELOW__&#x2F; {print NR + 1; exit 0; }&#x27; $0` echo &quot;&quot; echo &quot;Extracting Installation Files...&quot; echo &quot;&quot; tail -n+$ARCHIVE $0 | tar xzv -C $TMPDIR echo &quot;&quot; echo &quot;Launching Installer...&quot; echo &quot;&quot; CDIR=`pwd` echo CDIR echo $CDIR echo TMPDIR echo $TMPDIR cd $TMPDIR .&#x2F;installer cd $CDIR rm -rf $TMPDIR exit 0 __ARCHIVE_BELOW </code></pre> And then the data.

I wonder why they use MD5 hashes and not something more collision attack resistant.

Too shame that they&#x27;re using so much of money, which is basically tax money of Mongolian people, on surveillance tool when Mongolians living their like hell. shame on them.

So, anyone planning to install it?

Interestingly, Sophos on OS X immediately identifies the .zip as Malware&#x2F;Generic-Spyware and blocks access to it:<p>finspy_master.zip: Permission denied
