@kkarhan @protonmail @torproject I wonder how they found out he used all these tools and what was the reason to even look at these people and investigate in the first place.

@anders @torproject @linuxexperiment well, besides @protonmail being know to snitch on people, they might've been shoulder-surfing them...

After all, #RossUlbricht got his Laptop snatched when he was in a public library to use it's WiFi...

@anders @torproject @linuxexperiment

OFC your question is pretty valid on it's own so either #DGSI still places operatives in #Hackspaces like the one for @LaQuadrature or they f**ked up their #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec and #ComSec...

But then again, kids got accused of "hacking the schools network" for using #Linux...

Also @tails sadly doesn't have any good #UndercoverMode for a long time - unlike say @kalilinux...

@kkarhan
What does undercover mode do in short?
@LaQuadrature @kalilinux @tails @torproject @linuxexperiment @tails

@anders @torproject @LaQuadrature @linuxexperiment

Basically, it makes a distro like @kalilinux look innocent to the casual shouldersurfer, as it looks like a current version of #Windows or a more harmless #Linux distro like @ubuntu at first glance.

OFC @tails are aware of the issue and are calling out for some maintainer to reintroduce the feature...

Tails - Help porting Windows camouflage to GNOME 3.14

@anders @torproject @LaQuadrature @linuxexperiment @ubuntu

Basically to do so distros like @tails & @kalilinux change the look and in part feel to be like #Windows10 / #Windows11 or another "innocent" OS by customizing @gnome with different icons, wallpapers and buttons to avoid the whole "OMG THAT'S A HAX0R!" issue...

@kkarhan
Oh that's a great idea!

I'd prefer my desktop not to look like windows though 😂

@gnome @kalilinux @tails @torproject @ubuntu @LaQuadrature @linuxexperiment

@anders @torproject @ubuntu @LaQuadrature @linuxexperiment

Granted, @gnome #Gnome should make #Themes and customizations as easy as #Windows 7-10 did and allow imprting and exporting settings into a single file...

Not shure exactly why @tails / #Tails can't just copy @kalilinux / #KaliLinux's settings and code in that regard tho...

But yeah I do shore the same opinion...

I'd rather want my system to look like #Ubuntu, #Apple #macOS or even #ChromeOS...

Espechally since the latter looks less #sus on a low-end/budget #Netbook-alike machine...
