Sounds reasonable if NSA was involved:  But this show was billed as an
FBI production, and I don't think the NSA ventures into law
enforcement territory.  The narrative presented by the FBI, including
the use of an exploit against Firefox + Microsoft sounded plausible to
me at the time.

I think that might be very likely. How many times has the tor project publicly 
acknowledged attacks involving ephemeral setup of large number of tor nodes for 
purpose of attack? 

Would NSA even need to own any nodes considering how many different places they 
have taps into the internet? I don't think so.

That seems a plausible explanation to me. Web 'standards' and
web browsers are poorly designed pieces of bloatware and thus
full of holes.

However, I think there's a more interesting issue at hand. 

One would expect the creators of the tor cyberweapon to do some
sort of 'quality control' no? So if they were actually
interested in providing security for their users, it would be 
TRIVIAL for them to constantly monitor a site like the one that
was allegedly hacked, and so get a copy of whatever malware was
allegedly served. But it seems that they did not such thing.

The tor project should be monitoring and protecting 'high
value' 'targets' like those that carry so called 'child
pornography' but of course they do no such thing. Because they
are on the pentagon's payroll.

Not sure about those two. Another explanation could be this : 

there wasn't any malware served, and the users of the site were
identified using plain old traffic analysis. That's certainly
something that both the government AND the tor mafia would like
to sweep under the rug.

"Year Zero" shows that as of 2016 the CIA had 24 "weaponized" Android
"zero days" which it has developed itself and obtained from GCHQ, NSA
and cyber arms contractors.

These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp,
Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman by hacking the "smart"
phones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic
before encryption is applied.

CIA malware targets Windows, OSx, Linux, routers

The CIA also runs a very substantial effort to infect and control
Microsoft Windows users with its malware. This includes multiple local
and remote weaponized "zero days", air gap jumping viruses such as
"Hammer Drill" which infects software distributed on CD/DVDs,
infectors for removable media such as USBs, systems to hide data in
images or in covert disk areas ( "Brutal Kangaroo") and to keep its
malware infestations going.

Hold on to your kernels mates, we goin for a ride :)

WikiLeaks says CIA hacking unit cracked smartphones and TVs worldwide

[Razer]

“These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, 
Signal, Telegram, Weibo, Confide and Cloackman(sic) by hacking the 
smartphones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic 
before encryption is applied,”


McClatchy:

The CIA has built up a formidable hacking division that has amassed 
ways to control smartphones worldwide and turn on the microphones in 
Samsung smart televisions, WikiLeaks said Tuesday.


WikiLeaks released  what it said were 
8,761 documents taken from the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in 
Langley, Virginia, in what it described as “the largest intelligence 
publication in history.”


The documents indicate that the CIA has collected “more than a 
thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses and other ‘weaponized’ 
malware” that allow the agency to overcome encryption and seize 
control of devices from the biggest tech firms worldwide, including 
Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. It said the CIA had purposefully 
withheld information from the manufacturers about the vulnerabilities 
in their systems, undermining a promise offered by former President 
Barack Obama to the high-tech industry.


A CIA spokesman declined to say whether the purported leak was real.

“We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported 
intelligence documents,” spokesman Jonathan Liu said.


The WikiLeaks documents, which it said span a period from 2013 to 
2016, reveal an arsenal of malware and dozens of “zero day” exploits 
against a wide range of products, including Apple’s iPhone, Google’s 
Android, Microsoft’s Windows and even Samsung smart televisions, which 
are turned into covert microphones.


Some of the tools would allow the CIA to hack and control popular 
smartphones, including the iPhone, giving remote operators access to 
the phone’s location and its audio and text communications, and 
permitting covert activation of the camera and microphone.


While iPhones compose only 14.5 percent of the global smartphone 
market, WikiLeaks said the focus on Apple’s iOS operating system “may 
be explained by the popularity of the iPhone among social, political, 
diplomatic and business elites.”


The documents indicate that the CIA controlled 24 different 
vulnerabilities for Google’s Android operating system, which is used 
in 5 out of 6 smartphones worldwide.


“These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, 
Signal, Telegram, Weibo, Confide and Cloackman by hacking the 
smartphones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic 
before encryption is applied,” WikiLeaks said.


The anti-secrecy organization said it had obtained the documents from 
someone associated with the 5,000 hackers in the Center for Cyber 
Intelligence who objected to its lack of accountability and 
duplication of efforts with the National Security Agency, a rival 
intelligence arm.


“The source wishes to initiate a public debate about the security, 
creation, use, proliferation and democratic control of cyber weapons,” 
WikiLeaks said.

So whatever they are hiding is probably not this:

http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/fbi-tor-exploit/

"The FBI used a vulnerability in Firefox 17, on which the Tor browser
is based, to turn Freedom Hosting sites into malware spreading tracker
tools. It all works on the Firefox 17 JavaScript Zero Day Exploit;
this malicious script is a tiny Windows executable hidden variable
named “Magneto” which looks for victim’s MAC address and its hostname
and sends it back as a HTTP web request to the Virginia server to
expose the user’s real IP address. The FBI successfully gained access
to the Freedom Hosting server and injected malicious HTML code, which
checks whether the user’s browser is Firefox 17 or not."

Which raises the question, what ARE they hiding?  Some options, in no
particular order...

1)  An as-yet undetected and unpatched vulnerability affecting Firefox
and/or the TOR router was used - and the defense team knows it.

2)  The defendant may have traded some information or cooperation, or
may have an "insurance file" with enough evidence to convict someone
at FBI or DOJ of his same charges or worse.

3)  The FBI decided to pick one suspect to kick loose with a bogus
story indicating an as-yet undetected and unpatched vulnerability, for
propaganda purposes.

The fog of physical war is hard enough to see through, but with
network warfare that fog is hiding... more fog.

2017 - the best year yet for Israel

[Zenaan Harkness]

First they legislate a travel ban:

- https://www.rt.com/news/379709-israel-bars-boycott-supporters/
"
A spokesperson for Smotrich earlier compared the bill to US President
Donald Trump’s travel ban, saying “without going into the policies of
the [US] president, every sovereign nation must set its policies in
accordance with what is good for it,” The Times of Israel reported.
"



Next they're "warned" by Washington that annexing more land of their
neighbours risks a "crisis" with America:

- https://www.rt.com/news/379676-us-israel-west-bank-annexation/
“We received a message directly — not indirectly, not a hint — from the
US, that Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank means an immediate
crisis with the new administration,”


Add in the Israeli protesters against their own country's ethnic
cleansing program, a rapid global holohoax awareness,

, similar rising awareness of who controls most of the world's
fiat money supply:

and 2017 looks like a perfect storm for some ethnic awarenes to
grip many of the world's people.

Good luck fellow pepes :)
