Tech details on the FBI's Tor exploit seem essential for certain defenses. See, e.g., https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/rsearch.pdf …https://twitter.com/bradheath/status/717465105588482049 …

@mattblaze If given the shellcode, I think you can make that argument? It does the search. I'm not sure what perspective the exploit adds.
@dguido The argument would be that the beacon was installed on more computers than authorized by the warrant.
@mattblaze How does a copy of the exploit source code indicate the # of times it was used (in potential violation of warrant terms)?
@dguido I don't know - since I've not seen the code, we have no idea what it does.
@mattblaze I wonder who would use this argument. If given nearly any piece of software, can you tell how many times it's been run?
@dguido If I were the defense, I'd demand to see the entire chain of code from selecting the target computer onward.
@mattblaze I'm sure they would, but I think the launcher + shellcode discharge all potential arguments about the validity of the search.
@dguido From the defense's perspective, they have no way to know whether the prosecution's description of the components is accurate.
@mattblaze I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with a concrete scenario where the exploit soruce code blows a hole open.
@dguido The point is not whether I think I did, but whether the defense is given a fair shot to make the case.
