Not only is it an extremely easy task for someone who wants such a thing, it's already been done and is widely available pre-build for a plethora of devices with projects like LineageOS (risen from CyanogenMod), AOSP, CopperheadOS etc.

You can quite easily purchase unlimited outbound SMS from just about any local carrier in any part of the world for less than $20, either one time or monthly. It would be very easy to mass message this to an entire country in a matter of we

With all respect to each of those projects and the work that goes in to them, just about all of those ROMs are based on CM sources and will seriously stagnate until Lineage is up and running full steam ahead.

The Android client does support regular SMS handling, which is what makes it great. Regular unencrypted SMS for users without Signal, and end-to-end for users who have it, all in the same application. It used to support encryption over SMS,

It was all abandoned, but many similar features made it into CM. Things like separating the seeding passphrase/PIN/pattern for FDE from the lockscreen and lockscreen PIN randomization were once features in CyanogenMod. The former,

Paranoid Android has NO additional security mechanisms over AOSP. It's based on CM with added UI/UX features. The name is not indicative of the type of ROM it is. CopperheadOS is what you want if you're concerned about securi

Skylake support only really landed in 4.4 and ramped up in 4.6 to be release-ready, it's fairly well known and you can ready any release vote from 4.4 to 4.7 to see commits pertaining to Skylake or the XPS13.

What's really scary is the fact that many of these individuals don't consider the benefits and rewards of using a credit card -- free flights, cash-back, insurance and extended protection, and best of all it's not your money.

I've found the most success with getting passed captive portals on non-free "Free WiFi" is simply OpenVPN over dns/53. It works a lot of the time and sometimes conveniently bypasses throttling/QoS.

One big advantage of using a popular VPN is shared endpoints. Your traffic is mixed in with hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of other users. Using your own VPS means you are easier targeted, tracked (on layer 3) and located -- since

No, the Espressif SDK doesn't include the ability to do packet injection. They are likely going to completely remove the RFMON features if people start "abusing" them.
