Chaos Computer Club analyzes new German government spyware

The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has recently received a newer version of the "Staatstrojaner", a government spyware. The comparison with the older version, already analyzed by the CCC with the actual Sniffer-code from December 2010, revealed new evidence. Despite the claims of the responsible parties, the Trojan can still be remote-controlled, loaded with any code and also the allegedly "revision-proof logging" can be manipulated. The CCC is calling for a complete waiver of Trojans in pre-trial investigations.
