    • @terrydaktyllus1320
      @terrydaktyllus1320 2 роки тому +6

      Faraday bags are a complete waste of time. With an Apple or Google Android phone, you are tracked by either of them the moment you take the phone out of the bag to use it. Algorithms then analyse that tracking data and can probably work out how you got to that point from the last time you took the phone out of the bag to use it.
      Save your money and do your research. Buy an Android phone that you can de-Google and carry that about with you. Or buy one from Rob. In either scenario, wifi triangulation doesn't work as long as you don't install Google Apps.
      Yes, your cellular provider can track you inaccurately (on 4G) through cell towers but you can't avoid that and the information stays with them anyway unless legal authorities subpoena the information.
      It will be different under 5G where tracking by the cellphone provider will be a lot more accurate - so hold off on moving to 5G as long as possible.

    • @noxxum

      They tend to be a bit bigger since they require a lot of power, memory, and processing power. For example, the stingrays are rack mounted and generate a ton of heat. Typical use would be vehicle mounted, like a white work van. Consider that the power requirements are huge as you are essentially overpowering the signal of the nearest cell tower so you can connect to nearby phones.
      To my understanding, there are a few "pocket" devices out there however they need someone to be very close, since if the cell tower signal is stronger (perceived as closer) it will connect regardless of the device attempting to take control. Again, power is the limiting factor in this case.
      That being said, I could be entirely wrong as I may be a bit out of date with my information.

      @@rhyleymasterit’s been years since I read ETSI specifications and I might not remember correctly but I don’t think IMSI is actually paired with SIM card. Even if it was - it’s just a number not saying anything about subscribers identity. SIM card is paired with MSISDN (that is the actual phone number). Identification of the account is done on the network computers for billing purposes only. The network and handsets work in sort of an anonymised mode. Network doesn’t need to know who the handset belongs to, same - who the SIM card belongs to in order to function properly. Identification and authentication is necessary for billing and accounting purposes (for post paid and prepaid respectively).

    Most importantly, the SIM is not just a “handshake for the network”…it’s also an entire processor on a chip about 2sq centimeter in size that also saves data to be gathered by any number of state level folks, down to local police.
    I’m guessing anyone in any embassy has a base level phone that is physically destroyed/changed every week for sheer data analysis complication.
    But ya, don’t text and drive, because that trooper can send your sim to the state in the event of a crash. Or send state level cables. Both are just as important.

    I am curious if a network can send a signal to disable the phone, putting it through boot loop unless you go into recovery and do a restore. But it would go back to boot loop again once it connects to network. I Faraday caged my phone using anti static bags and it wouldn't loop anymore but once bag is opened, one min later, would go back to boot loop.

    There is one very memorable scene in the movie, where Peter Finch, during a live US TV broadcast, encourages viewers to stick their heads out their windows (just as he has done) & shout "I'm mad as hell, & I'm not going to take this anymore!" The outlandish tactics of the Peter Finch character in previous live broadcasts had garnered a massive viewer following, so when he encouraged his viewers to stick their heads out their windows & shout that message - literally millions of people around the country did that.
    If only a similar reaction could be invoked in people, in relation to all the attacks on our privacy & the censorship of big tech!

    I wonder why there are no decentralized sim cards a bit like Tor or VPN works. You have a local number but when people call you it has to go through other layers of ghost numbers which change every time you receive calls.
    That would make tracking your location, wiretap, etc practically impossible? If that exists please let me know the company that does that

      It’s simple. Networks belong to telco companies and they don’t want such functionality. Also - that would introduce additional traffic on the networks - and traffic equals $$$ (bandwidth). Also - the network’s immanent feature is being able to identify location of each handset at all times in order to set up calls. If the network loses track of your handset - you can’t receive calls!

    • @ipodman1910

      Nope - phone number (MSISDN) is associated with SIM - one to one. The VoIP or data sim card also has its own MSISDN number - and it’s different from the MSISDN for your other SIM card. Both SIMcards will work but in a different way (the data card will not have ‘voice telephony’ service associated). Rob - what are you talking about?!?!

    The mobile phone without a SIM card still communicates with mobile network. You said a 911 call only becomes visible when you initiate a 911 call, but I’m not sure this is true. Are we sure a unit can’t be seen and tracked even if you remove the SIM card? My phone without a SIM shows that it’s still searching for cell towers. It’s unclear to me what is going on.

      Of course each handset connects to any available BTS without a SIM card installed. It is handled as a roaming device and not only can be but is tracked. Networks immanent feature is tracking handsets. No calls can be routed when handsets are not tracked 100% time.
