FISHBOWL NSA program for securing commercial smartphones FOREMAN ? FOXACID FoxAcid identifies Tor users on the Internet and then executes an attack against their Firefox web browser. # finding Tor users via programs codenamed , , and . # The NSA creates "fingerprints" that detect HTTP requests from the Tor network to particular servers. # These fingerprints are loaded into NSA database systems like , # Using powerful data analysis tools with codenames such as , and , the NSA automatically look for Tor connections. # After the identification, the NSA uses its network of secret Internet servers to redirect those users to another set of secret Internet servers, with the codename FoxAcid, to infect the user's computer. # Once the computer is successfully attacked, it secretly calls back to a FoxAcid server, which then performs additional attacks on the target computer to ensure that it remains compromised long-term, and continues to provide eavesdropping information back to the NSA.

As part of the Turmoil system, the NSA places secret servers, codenamed Quantum, at key places on the Internet backbone for a man-in-the-middle (or a man-in-the-side). The NSA uses these fast Quantum servers to execute a packet injection attack, which surreptitiously redirects the target to the server.
