MLABS Secure Phone (Sidco Endorsed!)

Its a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS. Its good. Obviously needs some work and to figure out trust issues. Even if everything was wide open it is still hard to conquer the trust issues that come from not learning and doing it yourself.
Pixel with grapheneOS is for sure safer and pess bloated than a pixel from Verizon imo.

Not in this case, he actually suggested i make a flame thread.

Shady people who hide things are shitty…

And…

shitty people suck

@sidco suggested you make a thread flaming who @envee ?

Sidco suggested i make a flame thread, flamming him.

Unless i misunderstood what he wrote, it’s in the True Terpenes thread i linked.

I can’t reference it directly as the thread is locked now. (or I’m retarded which is possible)

You can see the comment @sidco made, go to true terpenes og thread, think it’s post #398

He suggested i make a new flame thread after questioning why i bumped a 3yr old thread, i was flamming him so i don’t think i misunderstood.

Was able to find out who this CEO that “created” Samsung Knox is. Here is his Linkedin Peter DeNagy - Chief Executive Officer - MLABS | LinkedIn

If you look at his education and training. It list nothing about programing or anything software related.

All his past positions were either management or advisory related. Nothing was ever mentioned that he coded or programmed anything.

His only relation to Samsung Knox as far as I can tell was he managed a team that worked on software that was later used as an “ideation point to the development of Samsung’s security offering, Samsung KNOX.”

Here is another page about him from another company. Cyber Risk Management - Comprehensive Risk Quantification (maxxsure.com)

“Under his purview his teams developed the vision for Samsung SAFETM as well as the initial value framework for Samsung KNOXTM.”

That’s a super far stretch from being the creator.

That also explains why nothing posted about this project really makes sense and details of what they do to it is kept scarce. it was implied that he has no hand in this project also, which makes me think he is just a figure head to make boastful claims.

Still on this?

Sure why not. Gotta admit it’s getting super old now. But if I still find it funny I still find it funny.

Found out after research that it is not possible to come on future4200 without being able to have your decices location given away, even on tor, because of JavaScript.
And someone pointed out a thread that showed there are keystroke loggers so everything on this site that you type is recorded, even if you back space and change what you write.

That’s just the nature of this forum software not worth getting too paranoid about. Virtually all modern forums are inoperable without javascript. If anonymity is that important to you that you can’t trust javascript you shouldn’t be using online forums/social media anyway imo

For the record this is inherant to the entire internet and not a javascript problem. When you make a connection with ANY site you share your IP address, which can be roughly geo located, usually within a city or 2. https://www.whatismyip.com/ kinda shows you this and is what we see. We do not ask for location permissions, so we don’t have access to your GPS location. If you use tor, the location shows up wherever your tor exit node is, hopefully not in the city or location you are originating the connection from. When I am on my phone it shows Verizon Business as coming from Greeley, CO US when I am really in Oregon so it’s a rough guess.

There is a draft feature which periodically saves the post you are typing server side. When you backspace and remove what you wrote or delete the draft, it is removed from the database. There is 1 draft per user as far as I can tell. Due to the way I take backups it is possible for this draft to be saved forever. Facebook for instance has been caught saving things you type but not post and storing it on purpose so they can use it to build a profile on you. If you remove your draft here it is removed from the database and the live version of the site, only to be stored in my (encrypted) backups, which are only used for disaster recovery. Chances are that backup is removed after a month.

Either way to your point, you should assume everything you type here or anywhere else on the internet, even if not ‘posted’, is still sent over the internet and at that rate is recorded.

There are forums that now send pop ups letting you know Java is on and you are at risk. Most things make Java easier on the web producer but at the expense of the user.
On the tor network you hide your IP address, but if you have JavaScript on, you can still be located, and I believe closer than your IP
I am not a computer person I just want to be anonymous, don’t want no companies getting my info, and don’t want people reading my private messages etc.
Wanting anonymity isn’t bad, except to muthafuckas who want your info, then it’s bad

Discourse doesn’t have any programming like that. The location permission should come up on pretty much any modern phone and browser for a website that is requesting that permission. Search “check website permissions” and the name of your browser to learn how to see what permissions a website is requesting. On the MLABs phone, with grapheneos, you can choose to not give your browser app location information so even if there was a nasty javascript 0day/hack the browser would have no information to spill. Either way, no location gathering beyond your IP here.

I would advise turning on encrypted chat here. Not even I or someone with physical server access can read your messages, or even better use GPG and type your messages locally and use here to transfer your encrypted messages.
