📹Aptitude test on communication networks Snowden, official movie scene, 2016 👉 👉

The recruits do an aptitude test, which I heard is common, and the task is to "build a covert communications network in your home city" to "deploy it, back up the site, destroy it and restore it again" and to "keep the infrastructure up and running securely" and they have up to 8 hours to do it.

In this sense I believe it's as follows: build a covert communications network, this could mean setting up some benign sites that when inputting the correct information on a form, clicking the right button combination or simply a blog post where agents can post cryptic messages that look normal to the normal web users, but actually means something else in the eyes of the agency.

It can also mean setting up DMZ's throughout different parts several buildings/public spots that can connect to another system (kinda far fetched but I mean... it's the CIA so nothing is implausible).

A hidden service can be another option but to the dedicated threat actor this could be the glaring hint that something weird is going on around. (с) Txlio
