We have released a free open source tool 'Zero Breach' - that can identify whether a recent Israeli spyware campaign left traces on your PC - the one Citizen Lab exposed, where Israeli ad-tech was used to infect journalists through 'no-click' ordinary ads.
It needs Python installed (
python.org โ tick "Add python.exe to PATH" during setup). Then open PowerShell in the folder where you saved it and run:
python -X utf8
zero-breach.py
It takes about 15 minutes. It only reads - it changes nothing, needs no admin, and never connects to the internet. It checks for 338 indicators and tells you if one of your browsers interacted with one of the infected ads in the past. (It also checks for Candiru infection)
Download it here:
github.com/interplains/zero-โฆ
You can also check whether your browser or device already blocks these kinds of ads, without downloading anything, here:
archivegenocide.com/scan/
You are looking for a green result โ
- if not, fix your browser settings, install an ad blocker / DNS resolver.
For phones: Tens of thousands of apps show these ads, so we suggest you set up a DNS resolver (NextDNS, AdGuard, or a router/Pi-hole blocklist) so your phone blocks all of them automatically.
We also publish ready-made blocklists you can subscribe to as well. Use them.
Pease report any issues in our telegram linked in bio
God bless.
