5.3 Upload Queue
The Assassin Implant maintains a queue of files that are awaiting upload to the
listening post. The Implant uploads files from the queue during the beacon
transaction in first-in first-out order. Files in the upload queue may be given
priority status, moving them to the front of the queue.
The upload queue is stored in the Implant’s staging directory. Files are given a
random name of between five and twenty-five alphanumeric characters. Files
with priority status are prepended with the tilde character, ‘~’.
The Assassin implant will not store more than 16,384 files in the staging directory
to prevent overflowing the limitations of the file system.
