- bsilvereagle 11y ago> you need an edge device that deeply inspects each packet. As cert pinning becomes more common, we are rapidly losing the ability to do this. The only work around I know of for iOS/Android is to jailbreak/root your device and get a debugger attached to apps. I haven't seen a workaround for getting around cert pinned Metro apps.

I doubt there's enough of an organization to even care, let alone engineer that kind of infrastructure. Well, Suse and Redhat, maybe. Ubuntu, almost definitely. But Linux seems safer from prying eyes than the commercial OS's.

The fact that they even considered such a thing means my distro recommendation is now permanently anything not Ubuntu/Ubuntu based. It's an inevitability that people are going to make user-hostile Linux distros that take advantage of users ignorance, some already exist, but that shouldn't be a black mark on those distros that do it right and respect their users.
