On the one hand, the guy makes it sound like it 'spawns cmd prompts' which suggests a Windows machine and a bunch of amateurs selling crap to third parties (and to the state), instead of being a state level actor. (which shouldn't be able to gather that much valuable metadata by spying on the network anyways)

On the other hand, 250$ is a suspiciously high number when you can get a dozen people to do it for 50$ in an afternoon.

ps. "top secret" clearing is a not secret club - it's a very big club and its practical purpose is you agreeing to increase legal liability by getting thrown into a different judicial tract if you screw up - eg by installing Russian hardware on your home.
