COMPANY CONFORMED NAME: Endgame Systems, Inc. (AKA Endgame, Inc. and Endgame Systems LLC)

CENTRAL INDEX KEY: 0001504383

IRS NUMBER: 800650459

STATE OF INCORPORATION: DE [LAWARE] SEC

"According to a February 2010 price list, Endgame sold 25 zero-day exploits a year for $2.5 million." [1]

"Cyberweapon purveyor and U.S. contractor Endgame Systems reportedly offers customers 25 exploits a year for $2.5 million." [2]


" Endgame Systems, LLC designs and develops security solutions focusing on cyberspace. The company offers IP reputation service, which provides botnet and malware detection.

Its products comprise of ipTrust Professional that integrates IP reputation data directly into security infrastructure, processes, and security services; ipTrust Intelligence, which provides daily access to consolidated reputation information in the form of formatted data feeds, such as botnet command and control, known attacker, and proxy identification; and ipTrust Web that notifies infections originating from the network.

The company also provides consulting and product development services, which comprise concept, engineering and development, testing, production, field deployment, operation, and maintenance.

Endgame Systems provides cybersecurity solutions to the defense, civilian and national security community. Their services and solutions support the collection, analysis, and use of attack and event data in cyberspace, and help organizations protect their sensitive and critical information. Endgame’s highly skilled workforce provides a full range of engineering services and solutions that raise awareness of emerging threats, and help prevent and respond to those threats globally... " Businessweek

ipTrust is a division of Endgame Systems, and is headquartered in Atlanta, GA. Press Release

"Endgames' ipTrust offering leverages emerging new technologies, including cloud computing and the ability to query massive data sets, to develop a world-class, petabyte-scale data processing Reputation Engine that distills hundreds of terabytes of security data into usable intelligence and information. ipTrust harvests, analyzes and classifies malware and botnet samples each day on over five million systems from around the world, to deliver the industry's most accurate IP address reputation scoring. ipTrust customers leverage this information to quickly gain visibility into the security of their networks, as well as those of their trusted partners and customers." Press Release

"ipTrust stores all the data it has collected, not just the reduced data, because of the typical scenario of trying to solve botnet attacks. He said forensic investigators might start working on cases a month after they happen, so ipTrust wants to be able to provide investigators with all the data possible from the day in question in order to help determine what happened..."

February 2011 – Endgame announces partnerships with HP and IBM to use their IP Reputation Intelligence service within HP’s TippingPoint Digital Vaccine service and IBM’s managed services offerings.

"Endgame Systems delivers handcrafted solutions that support CNO operations that exponentially accelerate mission planning and execution. Endgame Systems provides real-time analytics, data visualization, cutting edge vulnerability research and knowledge discovery capabilities that support security in cyberspace by revolutionizing the detection and mitigation of cyber threats.[3]

Bonesaw is a “cyber targeting application” that tracks servers and routers worldwide, mapping the hardware attached to the Web. These are the access points through which the National Security Agency, Cyber Command and other U.S. agencies, could launch operations against adversaries and threats...

Endgame’s Bonesaw is marketed to U.S. intelligence agencies and large companies. It doesn’t hide its offensive capabilities as a tool for launching cyber weapons.

Marketing documents say “the Bonesaw platform provides a complete environment for intelligence analysts and mission planners to take a holistic approach to target discovery, reducing the time to create actionable intelligence and operational plans from days to minutes.”

“Bonesaw is the ability to map, basically every device connected to the Internet and what hardware and software it is,” says a company official who requested anonymity. The official points out that the firm doesn’t launch offensive cyber ops, it just helps." Nate Fick, Endgame Systems CEO

" The Bonesaw platform provides a complete environment for intelligence analysts and mission planners to take a holistic approach to target discovery – reducing the time to create actionable intelligence and operation plans from days to minutes. Analysts of all experience levels can deploy and quickly use Bonesaw to aggregate data from disparate sources and formats into a single intuitive user interface." [4]

"Bonesaw, the map displays the geolocation and digital address of basically every device connected to the Internet around the world, providing what’s called network situational awareness. The client locates a region on the password-protected web-based map, then picks a country and city— say, Beijing, China. Next the client types in the name of the target organization, such as the Ministry of Public Security’s No. 3 Research Institute, which is responsible for computer security—or simply enters its address, 6 Zhengyi Road. The map will then display what software is running on the computers inside the facility, what types of malware some may contain, and a menu of custom-designed exploits that can be used to secretly gain entry. It can also pinpoint those devices infected with malware, such as the Conficker worm, as well as networks turned into botnets and zombies— the equivalent of a back door left open.

Bonesaw also contains targeting data on US allies, and it is soon to be upgraded with a new version codenamed Velocity, according to C4ISR Journal. It will allow Endgame’s clients to observe in real time as hardware and software connected to the Internet around the world is added, removed, or changed. But such access doesn’t come cheap. One leaked report indicated that annual subscriptions could run as high as $2.5 million for 25 zero-day exploits.

The buying and using of such a subscription by nation-states could be seen as an act of war. “If you are engaged in reconnaissance on an adversary’s systems, you are laying the electronic battlefield and preparing to use it,” wrote Mike Jacobs, a former NSA director for information assurance, in a McAfee report on cyberwarfare. “In my opinion, these activities constitute acts of war, or at least a prelude to future acts of war.” The question is, who else is on the secretive company’s client list? Because there is as of yet no oversight or regulation of the cyberweapons trade, companies in the cyber-industrial complex are free to sell to whomever they wish. “It should be illegal,” says the former senior intelligence official involved in cyber­warfare. “I knew about Endgame when I was in intelligence. The intelligence community didn’t like it, but they’re the largest consumer of that business.” Source: Wired


  • " Velocity is a comprehensive command and control CNO platform. Based on a real-time distributed architecture, Velocity gives offensive and defensive operation floors high-level situational awareness integrated with tools to drill down to raw data, isolate targets and launch the full life-cycle of operations to survey, collect and affect the environment." [5]

"more advanced than Bonesaw. The application, called Velocity, is to provide access to this mapped-out Internet in real time as hardware is added and deleted, making cyber targeting more immediate, and increasingly laying bare the Internet." Nate Fick, Endgame Systems CEO
