VLC 2.1.5 compromised https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_15729066.html edit: please see response below from remlov edit: this post was premature, see below posts
"...the asset will have 'downloaded' the portable version of VLC player (2.1.5)..."
This does not sound like a copy of the public version and that it's "compromised". You could check for yourself if you like: https://github.com/videolan/vlc :)

I hope Europe and Germany especially finally wake up and start kicking out these pests. The US/CIA is conducting crimes against humanity on foreign soil. Like the drone war. The US may not be part of the international court but Germany is.
I wonder how many of the exploits/tools released are still usable today. Also, the actual video press release had to be rescheduled due to their video stream being attacked.[0] "NOTICE: As Mr. Assange's Perscipe+Facebook video stream links are under attack his video press conference will be rescheduled."

One very interesting thing is that the exploits, rootkits, etc are all unclassified and the CIA has no copyright on them either. The logic is supposedly that an agent putting a classified rootkit/trojan/whatever on a machine is mishandling classified information and thus it would be illegal.
Does that mean that someone who leaked them could not be prosecuted? Or simply that they would be prosecuted under some other law?
Maybe it is just my lack of knowledge but why were all the recently leaked hacking tools made by US and none by Russia or China?
Wow this is really big. There are tons of documents about the various tools they use, but it seems the majority of the actual source code is still being reviewed and the links just show a link to the file list. I hope they eventually release the source code, as a lot of these tools seem very interesting. I can imagine that many at the CIA are running around on fire, as this seems like a big problem for them.
