Bad actors have had access to this tool too... it was leaked previously.

This is cool because:

- It's legal and free - It's open source

The tool was never leaked previously.

Uh, you're sure about that? I can't say I have first hand experience with the leak (running second hand NSA software not meant for public release seems like a bad idea somehow) but I know I've heard that it was, and this seems pretty suggestive...

I am sure about that.

Your linked informational page leaked out when someone sent WikiLeaks a dump from a classified Confluence used by CIA’s cyber folks.

The tool itself, however, had not leaked.
