Is the use of tools to purposefully mislead and hide the origins of computer malware in order to "frame" other actors common basic knowledge in the cybersecurity world? I would think so, since it was released in the Snowden document dump, but I only took one semester of Comp Sci in college.

Yes. And for security firms of that level, they are able to unobfuscate the malware to find the actual creator/groups using it.
Which is exactly what happened.
I mean that's what computer forensics and reverse engineering malware is all about.
SANS will teach you how to do it for a low price of $7k. I've got the cert to prove it.

OK dude, you convinced me. Crowdstrike is totally legit... Seth Rich wasn't killed because he downloaded emails and sent them to Wikileaks... I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist.

No, you convinced me. Four of the largest cybersecurity firms in the world, along with Dutch intelligence, all colluded to cover everything up.
I mean that's the obvious simple answer.

The entire intelligence and commercial cybersecurity communities do.
But nevermind, one former NSA bubba with zero cybersecurity expertise invalidates all of it.

No no, you're totally right. When we're talking about someone becoming the leader of the free world (and who has already had dozens of people killed), there's NO CHANCE some crazy arse shenanigans would be going on.

Of course. Because the obvious answer is that four multi-billion dollar companies and a foreign intelligence service all colluded and not a single person leaked this grand conspiracy.
Do you know how fricking batshit insane you sound right now?
Next you'll tell me jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams, right bro?
Or maybe 9/11 was the Jews?

Yeah yeah, Seth Rich was a Bernie Bro working at the DNC and made private statements to NUMEROUS people about how the DNC was manipulating the primary campaign against Bernie... 10 days (I think it was?) after Wikileaks published the DNC emails, he's murdered in a "botched robbery" where he was shot in the back of the head and had nothing stolen from him... the DC Metro Police never forensically analyzed his computer and destroyed it... and Assange offers a $50,000 reward for information on his murder.
But hey, I'm sure that was all a series of completely random coincidences.

Well, one of the co-founders was born in Russia, grew up in the Ukraine, immigrated to the US, and hates the Russians... but yeah, I'm not saying that means it's a "Ukrainian company."
He never lived in the Ukraine.
He doesnt hate the Russians.
Crowdstrike is a publicly traded company founded in Sunnyvale CA. It has no connection to the Ukraine in any way.

Ok? What does this have to do with CrowdStrike or the other cybersecurity firms that analyzed the data?
Posted on 1/23/20 at 6:07 pm to Centinel
So the data removed was not downloaded to a USB drive, even tho the download speeds indicate that were? Is that what you're saying?

You fricking morons are what make this forum a goddamn laughing stock. You're no better than the idiots over at DU. You sound exactly like them in this thread, but you're too gullible to see it.

Thats not a real answer and I wasn't attacking you, but you seem to be getting more and more hostile. Now you are calling us all "fricking morons" for not playing along with you. Its been my experience that when people resort to this sort of behavior they really don't have anything else intelligent to say.

This seems plausible to me, and if its true, who downloaded the data?

Binney says the highest transfer rate was 49.1 megabytes per second, which is much faster than possible from a remote online connection. He says some colleagues challenged this assumption and ran various tests, from the Netherlands, Albania, Belgrade and in the UK and he says, "The fastest rate we got was from a data center in New Jersey...to a data center in the UK and that was 12 megabytes per second, which is less than a fourth of the rate necessary to transfer the data, as it was listed from Guccifer 2.0... However, it is the perfect download rate for a thumb drive ." He says their findings don't prove who did it but they do prove that the data breach was local and did not consist of an overseas hack.

This is utter horseshite. Even assuming your unsourced article was correct that it was megabytes per second and not megabits, 50 megabytes is roughly 400 megabits, less than half the speed of a gigabit connection. Which exist all over the world, and have for quite some time.
The fact you took this at face value without even researching the validity of the claim does indeed make you a fricking moron.
