US Has Weaponized the Internet. Here’s How They Did It

Our Government Has Weaponized the Internet. Here’s How They Did It

According to revelations about the QUANTUM program, the NSA can “shoot” (their words) an exploit at any target it desires as his or her traffic passes across the backbone. It appears that the NSA and GCHQ were the first to turn the internet backbone into a weapon.

The QUANTUM codename is deliciously apt for a technique known as “packet injection,” which spoofs or forges packets to intercept them. The NSA’s wiretaps don’t even need to be silent; they just need to send a message that arrives at the target first. It works by examining requests and injecting a forged reply that appears to come from the real recipient so the victim acts on it.

In this case, packet injection is used for “man-on-the-side” attacks — which are more failure-tolerant than man-in-the-middle attacks because they allow one to observe and add (but not also subtract, as the man-in-the-middle attacks do). That’s why these are particularly popular in censorship systems. It can’t keep up? That’s okay. Better to miss a few than to not work at all.

I will be surprised if anyone is surprised by this.

If reality can be hijacked the same way... makes you think why people act the way they do, in the "simulation".

Now that is brain food for you! Free of charge.

Free? Hey, you submit code and data to be run on the processor, you pay the fees.

I would not be surprised if the simulation is injected. It's the next logical step. Or it's been turned into a game. We are at the mercy of a couple a goofs trying to screw with each others part of the existence they control.
