Why not just physically disconnect the wires attached to anything that looks like audio input? If you are counting on software or firmware to override a built in mic, then you can also count on software or firmware to be tampered with in one way or another. -

i occasionally use the mike so its easier to just pull the plug out than rewire the internal microphone when i do.

2019-06-29 at 2:20 PM UTCIt's possible to get the internal mic and mic-in to work at the same time - I have done this on linux. It's all done in software, there's no logical "plug inserted, turning off internal mic".
Same thing with phones silencing the internal speaker when headphones are plugged in. -

well i do it as a quick fix to be honest. hopefully if anybody does try hacking my mike they won't have that ability. but who knows? technology is a constantly evolving animal. any opsec is only as good as the current knowledge you posses on the subject right now. you could know everything there is to know on opsec today, and by tomorrow night some hacker could have written some script or bypass that makes what you knew yesterday completely obsolete and useless.

i was laffing my ass off to the point my abs muscles cramped and now it hurts,
the reason your device switch to external mic is because it detects the presence of external mic and it does so by detecting resistance in the circuitry than connects to the mic socket.
when you plug a cut-offed mike plug into the mic socket it detects nothing because theres no resistence, so your device continues to listen thru its internal mic. -

Yeah I was thinking, targeting unsecured govt systems would probably be a lucrative business model for ransomware devs. And it also probably created a lot of a demand for IT pros to come in and update other cities and townships -

More malware benefits everyone, well everyone in the eco-system that is. Cyber security is a racket. Kind of like how the DEA and thousands of government officials would be out of a job if they won "the war on drugs". -

oh wow isn't it hilarious that i didn't know some really technical shit that i've never really bothered to look into, omg how fucking funny.
lets go onto tech forums and laugh at all the people asking for advice coz they don't know why their computers all crashed hahahahh.
you fucking idiot, lol.

2019-06-30 at 4:32 PM UTCin fact i just remembered, isn't it hilarious those times i skyped a couple of people and they couldn't hear me and then i realized i still had the plug in the mike socket.

Bammy doesn't realize that air == infinite resistance.
Well not infinite but close by any practical standard. -

have you actually tested it ?
did you even check your computer settings to see if it detected the presence of external mic ? -
