@N33R no, being #based af:

• NOONE has a legitimate reason to use #backdoored #Govware like #Outlook that sends credentials to #Microsoft!

check out the write-up at https://rad.ctrlc.hu:443/raw/rad:z46AkAERuXAzqZcDRKvE7byRbkga1/7a27b7a350ccadadc2d1bd776747a06393fb50ab/writeup.pdf

for more weird details of the #nsa #backdoored #SBT #military #crypto #device.

some interesting details, the #nsa #backdoored #phillips device runs a 8051 mcu. there's a print subroutine, that pops the return address from the stack, and prints the litteral chars from that address onwards until it finds a byte which has the top bit set. then it returns to the address after this last char. of course this is no calling-convention that any disassembler knows, so it throws them off.

2/n

@tranquil_cassowary @halotroop2288 here's a good example:

And yes, this can and will be weaponized against any non-#Govware - #backdoored #OS & -Device.

• #Microsoft doesn't even hide the fact that they got a #Backdoor in #BitLocker.
• #Apple certainly is both able and willing to unlock #iOS & #macOS devices as they have all the keys and literally snitched on users in the "P.R." #China.
• #Russia literally sues @delta / #deltaChat for neither collecting user data nor providing them with #backdoors.

In fact, #Australia banning #SecureDevices and -#Encryption came just after their #HoneyPot "#ANØM" aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield had to end and they had to bust the users as #Estonia was unwilling to extend the permission to host the infrastructure on it's soil on behalf if #FBI & #AFP!

@stman @PrivacyDigest @theruran @50htz @vidak @forthy42 @oceane Again: #capitalism and.it's power structures as well as modalities incentivizes this #Centralization and #Enshittification.

• Just like you see it with other #Businesses where you end up with monopolies, duopolies, tripolies or other oligopolies that subsequently shape #regulation through #lobbyism to basically make any new competition impossible.

That's why it's basically impossible to start an #MVNO, mich less a real mobile neteork and even less if you don't want to deploy #backdoored shite like #GSM / #3G / #4G / #5G but actually something that works.

@GossiTheDog Obviously this is nothing new, as #Microsoft's #CryptoAPI is so #backdoored that it's basically #Govware.

• Whoever believed #CensorBoot & #BitLocker ever were secure needs to be banned from doing #IT, because it never has been and that was oretty obvious.

  • Cuz #CloudAct exists for quite a while, and not having exclusive #SelfCustody means it violates #KerckhoffsPrinciple.

I'll be collecting apologies once the next #ToldYaSo hits.

• My money is on @signalapp / #Signal cuz @Mer__edith won't face lifetime in jail for non-paying users - not even paid VPNs would do that!

@ann3nova sadly this is nothing new.

The entire #CryptoAPI of #Windows is #backdoored for decades and #CensorBoot merely exists to prevent #Linux adoption and #DualBoot from working!
