SUMMARY

The technical details of how NSA exploits virtual private networks (VPNs) are "held closely and generally not available to field sites." VIVIDDREAM is a query tool that allows analysts who discover new VPNs to test whether or not NSA has the capability to exploit them, without having to share the secret exploits themselves with these analysts.
