trump is posting from an insecure phone. every intelligence agency in the world has already tapped his data connection and acquired his auth token for Twitter. when one of them decides to tweet something from his account you can bet it will be for maximum impact.

they’re also recording his calls and will release the tapes when it suites them, or just use them for blackmail.

Essential founder Andy Rubin, also the co-founder of Android, game more insight into the ongoing process in an email to employees obtained by The Information. “No one (including me at this moment) knows what the best thing for the company will be,” the email reads. The company is allegedly “working with bankers to raise money,” according to Rubin.

I wonder if Essential is just not a very popular smartphone, or if Samsung/Apple colluded to pressure suppliers in making it 100x hard for E to get anything done. Either is equally probable.

does tls protect against agencies that run their own cell towers, that have access to national and compromised corporate root of trust keys, and that are willing to throw millions of dollars in hardware for months against cracking this specific link?

probably. the whole point of tls is that even having full control over the communications channel does not give you the ability to see or modify the content. unless they have some 0-day tls vulnerability up their sleeves, no amount of hardware will help.

whether or not having access to compromised ca keys would change anything will depend on what app Trump is using to post to twitter. Twitter’s guidance for tls clients recommends only accepting certs signed by one specific ca, precisely to make this attack vector harder to pull off - you can’t just use any old ca root even if the os trusts it

if they’ve actually managed to hack the phone itself then it’s a different story of course! that’s the weak spot in this whole story.

android <=<6.0 still support DH which often allows breakable 1024-bit keys which is in the realm of sniffing and stealing. Assuming twitter is also permitting DH on their end at some point, you could sit in the middle executing a downgrade attack and then break the captured traffic

Use Magisk

Supersu is dead and as far as I can tell Magisk is the only way to root any more

It's good because you can do it systemlessly and hide it from other apps. When you install the ad blocker make sure to choose systemless ad blocking in Magisk

yeah something about google or someone licensing a patented way to control the read of the image sensor to dramatically cut noise. I can't remember if it is rooting or a custom rom which triggers the camera module to wipe the code which actually caused it to work.


at least the camera stuff is reversible afaik I know. Samsung phones have electronic fuses which irreversibly disable all Knox-related secure processing functions upon detecting rooting.
