Snowden Docs: NSA Birthing Digital Weapons Arsenal

According to reporting by Spiegel, documents shared by infamous spy Edward Snowden expose the NSA’s new digital weapons arsenal.

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.”

If proven true, this proves the suspicion of most Americans that the NSA not only watches and records internet data, but has weapons and programs intended to attack.
