@OpDeathEatersUS on Twitter says - https://twitter.com/OpDeathEatersUS/status/619267423749828608 - that Hacking Team sells child porn evidence fabrication tools, and cites this code - https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/master/lib/rcs-common/evidence... - in support of the claim. Can someone more programming-proficient than I look at the code and tell me 1) what it does overall, and 2) what the highlighted line - which mentions "childporn.avi" and "pedoporno.mpg" - does in particular? Here's some background: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/07/massive-leak-reveals-hacking-teams-m... http://www.wired.com/2015/07/fbi-spent-775k-hacking-teams-spy-tools-since-20...
From the Ars Technica article:
=== According to one spreadsheet first reported by Wired, the FBI paid Hacking Team more than $773,226.64 since 2011 for services related to the Hacking Team product known as "Remote Control Service," which is also marketed under the name "Galileo." One spreadsheet column listed simply as "Exploit" is marked "yes" for a sale in 2012, an indication Hacking Group may have bundled some sort of attack code that remotely hijacked targets' computers or phones. Previously, the FBI has been known to have wielded a Firefox exploit to decloak child pornography suspects using Tor. Security researchers have also scoured leaked Hacking Team source code for suspicious behavior. Among the findings, the embedding of references to child porn in code related to the Galileo. === Thanks, Douglas
