quote:

On Android, disabling Wi-Fi is not necessarily sufficient to prevent the device from sending WiFi
frames as some devices still generate Wi-Fi frames after Wi-Fi has been disabled. Therefore,
disabling Wi-Fi is not enough to escape data collection by Wi-Fi tracking systems.
To prevent the device from sending Wi-Fi frame, it is necessary to disable two features on the
device: both Wi-Fi and the "Always allow scanning" option must be disabled in order to have
a silent device. On some devices this option is not even available, meaning that the user cannot
prevent its phone from sending Wi-Fi frames.
Although most recent versions of Android include MAC address randomization [1], there are
still a number of devices that are not supporting this feature. The MAC address randomization
feature has been introduced in version 6.0 of Android, and as of today 54.2% of Android devices
are using an older version [2]. Furthermore, MAC randomization is activated provided that the
hardware supports it, which is rarely the case as of 2017 [6].

Oreo kernel hardening
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/08/hardening-kernel-in-android-oreo.html?m=1
summary:
KASLR, PAN, not dumb copyin/copyout, lock down init rw section.

it's great to see android get security features that the iOS kernel has had for years. and since android kernels don't get updated even in devices that get updates, no phone out there today will ever get these.

Doesnt this mean your phone could like, violate FCC regs because its busy handshaking the in-air wifi over and over. Of course you're supposed to have your phone powered off anyway but, well.

aiui it's not handshaking, just broadcasting an identifier and listening for base station broadcasts

Is ASLR mandatory or an opt-in/opt-out scheme because I have bad news about the real world if it is the latter

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
