Similar situation in Vancouver as of 2010.

May have been an issue in the past. Daniel claims that modern Pixel devices (among others) use IOMMU to control which memory segments the baseband device can access, and if implemented correctly it should only allow what is necessary for de

I love IRC. Only really been on Freenode and a few other smaller networks (since the glory days of EFNet et al were before my time) but since 2008 I've met countless friends, some of which I know in person and I love working on open so

Minecraft Classic was the original Java based game around that time.

I still agree that's an issue and I'm wondering if the Titan M chip is going to be a Google exclusive or if it's going to be licensed to other OEM's at some point.

The Pixel 3 has a "Titan M" chip with much reduced attack surface compared to the TEE. Don't otherwise know much about it.

I registered my Signal account with a burner number not linked to any SIM card, and thus I didn't use it as my SMS app. Don't know if it's default behavior when you register it with the phone number attached to your SIM or no

I wish they had a competent desktop client with feature parity to mobile and not just an Electron "app". I could write more critique regarding the forced contact discovery, the use of phone numbers as identifiers, but at lest the

Don't know if anyone else has, but I've seen so called "global SIM" with multi IMSI type functionality from so called "secure phone" providers in the past. Interesting

With exception of the Verizon model the bootloader on all Pixel devices can be unlocked (iirc) but it wipes data for security reasons.

I wish the OLED display used higher frequency PWM or DC dimming instead of PWM. Otherwise it seems to be a decent device.

Ah, checking `app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification` shows that it hasn't checked since "yesterday" :/ jtl@laptop-linux:~$ TZ=UTC date --date="@1556919381" Fri May 3 21:36:21 UTC 2019

Running Firefox 66 from Ubuntu repositories on Ubuntu 18.04 and all my extensions are enabled. Does it only occur after a restart or?

Devils advocate. A VPN provider competent enough could make it appear they aren't logging during the time of an audit and then go "back to normal" afterwards.

GrapheneOS exists now, from the same developer that worked on CopperheadOS after he took a bit of break and got going again. https://www.reddit.com/r/grapheneos

I thought Zerodium (as an example) was only interested in RCE type vulnerabilities, although I could see others being of value as well.

> Many CD-ROM games didn't bother with copy protection (after all, who would copy a whole CD full of data?) Many early 2000 games I'm fond of used SecuROM. That's always a fun one.

Possibly. I haven't looked into it though.

Spotify DRM _has_ been cracked before (extraction 320kbps Vorbis streams without recompression), but for obvious reasons there are no ready-made public PoC's.

by jtl999 8y ago
Yeah. I'm concerned about similar issues too.

by jtl999 8y ago
Heh maybe. I am aware of the eMMC issues. Not to mention a phone from those days is slower then current phones, although I don't know much that matters with the custom ROM they use.
116.
by jtl999 8y ago
Agreed. Does anyone know anything about the GSMK Cryptophone 500? It's appears to be a modified Galaxy S3 with a heavily custom ROM and can double as an IMSI catcher. I wonder. Did they RE the baseband or replace it with their own? ht

I remember the creator of CopperheadOS claiming the "Nexus 5" (which is EOL) is not secure because of hardware (baseband?) vulnerabilities that wouldn't be trivial to fix. Citation: https://twitter.com/Danie
