>A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers to prevent circumvention of blocking measures, targeting around 117 pirate sports streaming domains. The move is another anti-piracy escalation for broadcaster Canal+, which also has permission to completely deindex the sites from search engine results.

Many people feel like their smartphones may feel like indispensable lifelines, connecting everyone everywhere in real-time, but can you trust it? I never did. As reliant as we are on these devices for everything from banking to personal communication, the GSM network, along with its successors from the 3G that emerged almost 20 years ago already, now 4 and 5G carries with it a number of critical flaws that hackers or (especially) governments can easily exploit using tools. Tools which I confirm being readily available on the dark web. We always knew about the flaws of GSM being left in place to facilitate eavesdropping. Now it’s not about just listening but using a phone to deceive or intercept information, and it’s easier than anyone thinks.

Here are some definitions. Regardless if it’s some Nokia or Ericsson brick or the newest Samsung Galaxy S30, mobile phone’s identity on the network are two crucial pieces of data: the IMSI and the IMEI.
>IMSI: (International Mobile Subscriber Identity)
This unique identifier ties a subscriber to your SIM card and mobile network, see this as the phone's IP, or a code allowing the network to recognize and authenticate the user. However, an attacker with the right tools can spoof an IMSI, essentially tricking the network into thinking they are someone else. This opens up the possibility of interception, call hijacking, or even location tracking.

>IMEI: (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
Similarly, the IMEI is a unique code that identifies your physical device. A bit like a MAC address. Just as with IMSI, software available on the dark web allows an attacker to spoof an IMEI, making it possible to assume the identity of another device, evade blacklists, or bypass security features designed to lock lost or stolen phones.

The creepy fact is that spoofing either of these identifiers isn’t theoretical; it’s shockingly easy if you manage to get the right software, although requires know-how since it’s mainly based on command line. It’s trivial to alter these identifiers and launch attacks on mobile networks. Hackers are out there exploiting these flaws, and most people don’t even realize how exposed they are.

SMS and roaming vulnerabilities with TPDUs

While many people assume that SMS is a secure form of communication, it’s actually a relic from a time when security was an afterthought. I mean I'm trying to resurrect an old pager for fun and sending ASCII codes via radio to it. The GSM standard is a bit like pagers, relies on something called Transfer Protocol Data Units (TPDU), which handle the sending and receiving of SMS messages and more. These messages pass through a series of vulnerable network components, each one a potential point of attack.
The handshake process, where the network authenticates a roaming phone, is particularly vulnerable. Hackers can intercept these signals during the handshake and manipulate them, giving them access to your phone. Once they have control over the TPDU, attackers can not only read SMS messages but also modify or send spoofed messages as if they were the legitimate user.

What’s worse is that this flaw isn’t limited to domestic attacks. When you roam, you’re more exposed because your phone relies on SS7 to communicate with foreign networks. This outdated protocol is widely known for its insecurities, allowing attackers to intercept calls, read messages, and even track a device’s location across the globe. For hackers who know how to exploit this, roaming opens up a world of potential targets.
Let’s imagine a theoretical scenario: Voice spoofing. As if the vulnerabilities in GSM and SMS systems weren’t enough, we’re now facing a new kind of threat: synthetic or altered voice attacks. Imagine a scenario where a hacker has spoofed your phone number using one of the techniques mentioned above. They then use some AI voice synthesis software to impersonate your voice or the voice of someone you know.

For example, a hacker could call your family or coworker, and using some AI-generated voice based on some samples, say something like: “Hey, it’s me. I’m in trouble and I need you to send me money. My phone is broken, so I can’t text. I'll pay you twice, you trust me bro” This type of scam is already becoming a reality with fake SMS which dumb people fall for. In fact, a friend of mine recently received a fake message that said, “Hi mom, my phone is broken, I need money.” It’s only a matter of time before these attacks become widespread. These attacks are common from Nigeria, Gabon, Mali etc. since it’s a common scam, now with the same number and a voice, I assure you 100 % of the people will fall for it if it's done right enoug.

With the ability to clone voices, fake phone numbers, and hijack SMS messages, you see where I'm going. It was not an issue a while ago but with machine learning being more and more accessible and these exploits at the fingertips of manipulative beings, it is about to happen, if not, already been used. Your phone is becoming a tool for sophisticated attackers to manipulate and deceive, and the terrifying part is that most people are completely unaware.

It’s hard to call these devices “smart.” Sure, smartphones are jack of all trades, GPS, media, gaming all that crap, but when it comes to security, they remain the same as dumb phones unless you use some enterprise's VPN or some VOIP services and messaging, a bit like those on Blackberry's BES, now there's similar solutions, even Whatsapp or Telegram. But no standard.

They operate on networks built decades ago with virtually no thought for the types of threats we can get today. Despite the introduction of newer technologies like 5G, which also have vulnerabilities since it’s essentially IP over radio, the underlying architecture remains flawed. Basically the frequencies and spectrum changed to have more bandwidth but the secu remains the same. You can have like, a banking ‘app’ that is secured as fuck yet rely on the SMS verification.

Today we can grab some cheap talkies/radios which can use digital voice encryption with AES256 or even RSA out of the box, to cope with the exploits on Motorola/Icom/Kenwoods which came out a while ago, it's cringe to see overpriced phones do not come with better security features.

Solution? End-to-end encrypted VoIP services like Telegram, Matrix, Signal or even fucking WhatsApp which are pleb crap really but ironically offer vastly superior secu and privacy, but they are not yet the default mode of communication. There is no plan for a successor of the classic GSM cellular protocol for phone comm, like we're doomed to rely on outdated infrastructure, the SS7 network and GSM/TDMA/CDMA infrastructure and handshakes which keep its roots from the early 90's that leave us open to attack.

Sure you have a PIN, a password, fingerprint lock and even face recognition, what’s the point if it’s not properly secured behind? The device can be secured, sure, but when it’s in the air it WILL be vulnerable. Those are false senses of security, even if stolen you may want your phone to be a brick rather than used or accessed. People keep their entire lives on their phone, and it is getting worse as everytime you need a service, like insurance, banks, etc, some administration incites the users to install an app of some kind on their shit.

I’d just conclude again with smartphone might just be the least smart invention. It’s time we stop assuming our phones are secure just because they are expensive or branded with the latest technology. The reality is much darker: your phone is one of the most vulnerable things you own, not just the plethora of google services datamining the users, or the open mic, or location services collecting data for analytics, and I assure you none of the manufacturers will do a thing to anticipate the security of the existing phone network.

Everything should be redone from the base of the topology to the user layer. Even keeping the current equipment, antennas, phones. That's not a hardware issue, but the way the network is made that's the real issue. I trust more the IP and WiFi handshake than the GSM and its numerous iterations.

What would be the idea then? Fight with the ITU, raising awareness on something but usually it will be taken after shit happens. Start a private operator that provides trust in the network. Data only, then eventually VOIP. the SIM card should hold a key and establish a handshake with certs. then you have a lease when you connect to a tower. Let's just go with the blockchain, so every packet transmitted is secure, no GSM or UMTS layers, once the physical is made, even say a company or some military or bank protocol can communicate with anything, not necessarily IP. Maybre IP with gateway then you do what you want, but that's the base of secure comms we should expect.

How though? What new technologies does it utilize? Multi+Folding screen phones have been out for a while now and they're generally regarded as dysfunctional and fragile with no practical applications found for the added screens or flexibility. Every other spec listing from the (uselessly) high megapixel optically stabilized camera to the multi gigs of RAM are common on enthusiast phones from all other manufacturers.

The fascinatingly dystopian swing to the ordeal is that a hundred million Chinese and Indians are in a rush to finance such a device for it to only be used to scam Westerners out of the digital currency, which we all know is what the dual SIM is for.

idk, seems to me tech is just sort of out of ideas. They have been for awhile now. That's why they've transitioned from making genuine innovations and improvements to just grafting new novelty features onto devices that are already about as functional as they're going to get. Like a bendable screen is pretty cool from an engineering point of view I guess, it's neat that they figured out how to make that work. However, I can't say I've ever been in a situation where I find myself saying "gee, this task would be so much easier if only I could bend my phone in half."

The thing is, there is NOTHING that the phone does out of the box that needs that much ram. Any recent smartphone has an APU or separate GPU with its own VRAM that handles UI and camera processing. It's as if the gigs are piled on only to give tards more time before whatever virus app they installed starts slugging their phone with backloaded ads. It gives poos more leeway to make their shitcode worse. And last I read the ram in newer Samsung phones has a 2004-tier bus speed, something like 830mhz.

>>3453
>idk, seems to me tech is just sort of out of ideas.
There's a lot of neat stuff out there that would add novelty and function to phones. The technology behind the 3DS screen for example has been made so much better in the past 14 years. Multiple cameras is already the norm on phones so they could move one to the bottom and suddenly we have a 3D camera. That would streamline using phones as quality VR headsets, especially with cheaper Samsung tablets now using 120+ screen hz. 3D capability could put phones on the map for having exclusive game titles actually worth playing. The phone could be a rangefinder with that tech and also make 3D scanning of objects and places more efficient which would contribute to every industry reliant on that. But of course, the technology is held up in patent purgatory so nobody is allowed to do anything with it unless they convince the holder to share its usage (through billions in upfront payments followed by royalties).

Patents pin technological development to the cross. Even stupid shit like modern phones not being able to use GPS satellites, instead relying on data bands, is because the idea of adding a GPS receiver to a phone is patented by some patent farm.

I recommend dual-booting Windows and GNU/Linux. Windows 10 and Windows 11 have CIAnigger backdoors (which is why they gave the update for free). You could just use Kubuntu or Xubuntu (avoid vanilla Ubuntu because it has Gnome 3) but I recommend that you pick EndeavourOS (or Artix/Void/Gentoo if you know what you are doing). You can test Linux with VirtualBox if you want to (VirtualBox can be used to make virtual machines).

Here is a quick guide:
1. Get a flash drive that can be nuked. The capacity should be 4GB or more.
2. Download the installation iso.
3. (optional but recommended) Download the file checksums (SHA256) and verify the iso using PowersHell: Get-FileHash Lunix.iso
4. Use Windows disk management tools to shrink a partition. This could be your C drive. Press WinLogoKey + x to get a menu where you can open it. Linux needs about 60GB or more.
5. Download Rufus https://rufus.ie/en/
6. Open Rufus. Select your device (your flash drive) and the Linux installation iso (press SELECT button). Click start.
7. (optional but recommended) Make Windows use UTC time internally. This does not change how time is displayed to you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#UTC_in_Microsoft_Windows
8. Reboot your computer. Press a key to open the UEFI/BIOS boot menu. Usually you need to press one of these keys: F12, F2, Del. The right key depends on your motherboard.
9. Install Linux! aim the installer to the newly reclaimed free space.
