    "BadBIOS is alleged malware"

    "To date, there have been no proven occurrences of this malware. "


    ..and it doesn't mention anything about activating and reading a sim card from a plane.

    Fantasy.

    The GAYANALRAPE product line does all that and more

    That's one example and yeah that one isn't what we're talking about, are you not familiar with stuxnet and the NSA leaks or something like this has been around since 2008. I guess hey if it doesn't apply to your day to day who cares

    but maybe the government wants to make sure they know how many mexicans you picked up from home depot exactly

    The NSA's SIM heist could have



    Post the part where it says activate and read a sim card from an aircraft 30,000ft up.


    ...and how they'd even get away with using that fantasy technology on USA citizens.

    Also they wouldn't need to fly a plane, I bet they have multiple easier ways to do many interactions with all kinds of electronic frequeneces from software to hardware to signals

    Your tax dollars hard at work. My favorite part is when people make malware based off the leajked stuff that ends up destroying society

    The WannaCry ransomware attack was a worldwide cyberattack in May 2017 by the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm, which targeted computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system by encrypting data and demanding ransom payments in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency.[5] It propagated by using EternalBlue, an exploit developed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) for Windows

    the only person talking about SIM cards is you, but like I said, the baseband chip manages low-level connectivity so if it can be activated or interacted with using radio signals (as has been reported on) it can likely trigger network registration using, you guessed it, ICCID data stored on the SIM

    the only real questions are how viable the technique is, whether it's possible to target individual devices vs. all devices in a targeted area
    and whether it can be effectively used to do more than geolocate those devices

    Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson No…not at all.

    30,000ft, plane overhead for literally a split second, 1000s of cell phones under the point of contact…activate and read a sim card.

    You've watched too much Mission Impossible kid.

    ↑ new "american" man doesnt know airplane can be fitted with gsm/hsdpa transceivers.

    yeah who gives a shit about reading the card when they can ping and hash tag find my phone + download everything off of it including sending fake messages to your wife and kids telling them to meet you at the police station before you even land the plane.

    They have multiple tools it seems that can cover every scenario of interception, locally, globally, finding someone in a country okay where in a country now they have ways to slowly crawl through all of that and easily get their desired target

    Snowden explains it pretty well, if they know you exist they can find you and you need to be off the grid not using anything to avoid it.

    OP specifically asked about being able to access devices that are switched off or in aeroplane mode

    not even going to bother with aeroplane mode because there's so much stuff that stays on and/or is at the mercy of apps that it might as well not be an option

    One of them looks like a giant stick and two agents stand somewhere and walk around and these devices can apparently pick up all kinds of shit lmao CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW just two agents in a field moving bunny ears around, yup got a live feed here!

    If you're in denial because you are involved in shady dealings I would suggest suicide or turn double agent now

    if you're interested in this sort of thing you should get an SDR and just look at the RF pollution everywhere you go

    I'm considering building a man-sized faraday cage or at least some kind of dampening helmet to see if you can immediately 'feel' a difference when it's all blocked out

    I know when it's time to make a new crypto wallet I go to the basement and strip naked singing ancient chants in the dark as I roll dice and make sound effects the entire time like the guy from police academy and after 99 dice rolls and shouting AWOOOOOOGA every time the dice touch anything or any noise is generated I have my secure seed

    also you gotta do all that inside a faraday cage , in the dark and do everything by touch, no light AT ALL , maybe the government can view your eyeball electric signals by now, can't bee too careful.

    This reminds me of that dutch man and all those shows and hacker videos I see where they just use a signal and next thing they know they are drinking champagne with russian oligarchs.

    where is the video of the guy going from wireshark to hacking a plane and getting loans and shit fuck that was funny

    What if I let it burn in a camp fire for 24 hours straight?

    I think you'd be safe, at that point.
