Bad guys do bad things and good guys do good things. The rest is bologna! :( “The Digital Arms Race: NSA Preps America for Future Battle In Cyber Space!” ~ “Normally, internship applicants need to have polished resumes, with volunteer work on social projects considered a plus. But at Politerain, the job posting calls for candidates with significantly different skill sets. We are, the ad says, looking for interns who want to break things. Politerain is not a project associated with a conventional company. It is run by a US government intelligence organization, the National Security Agency (NSA). More precisely, its operated by the NSAs digital snipers with Tailored Access Operations (TAO), the department responsible for breaking into computers. Potential interns are also told that research into third party computers might include plans to remotely degrade or destroy opponent computers, routers, servers and network enabled devices by attacking the hardware. Using a program called Passionatepolka, for example, they may be asked to remotely brick network cards. With programs like Berserkr they would implant persistent backdoors and parasitic drivers. Using another piece of software called Barnfire, they would erase the BIOS on a brand of servers that act as a backbone to many rival governments.” 3:31 youtu.be/nADaICCkWLw
