The only completely secure electronic device is one that is not and has never been connected to the internet
The only REALLY secure electronic device is one that isn't plugged in.

It would also go from 500 Mb to hundreds of Gigabytes. But I am sure many if not most of them are readily available if you know where to look. Most of this stuff was a few years old already and many of the vulnerabilities that were exploited by this stuff, already patched. Although I am sure they have new vulnerabilities that they are exploiting today.Yeah - the tools don't seem to be part of the actual package, just the documentation.
Now... if you have a d/l for the tools, that'd be a hot ticket.

They probably had access to information not accessible in the wild as well.It looks to me like they had some solid internally developed tools. Some of them built on the black market stuff, but the internal builds leveraged the undocumented zero day vulns, I think.
There are also code snippets and pseudo code methodologies to help train new haxxors.

Brief and super-informed video... how to tell if you're vulnerable to the CIA hacks.

Actually, in that sense, it would be a serious disruption of their communications. These tools basically confirm that any device that is or has been on the market since the mid-2000s is hackable.I saw a report saying how this release puts us more at risk now, because the terrorists now know how to stop from getting hacked by us.

I guess there's no evidence that sat phones are part of that, but that's more NSA work than CIA.
If they try to use the internet for anything, it is at risk of being intercepted.
I think this would even apply to steganography. The tools and methods suggest they are able to get root access to connected computers, and could track what happens on those computers. They'd basically have access to the data before it was encrypted into the host file.
They'd have to have an air-gapped set of computers, not connected to the internet, and bring data to them on a thumb drive (which would be vulnerable) or other media like a CD/DVD or SD card, I guess, and hope that the media didn't contain the CIA's code.
