04. surveillance of smartphones

tracking is zeer moeilijk te vermijden

  • phone betalen met cash , anders is er een spoor naar jou
    - aanschaf
    - cash indien mogelijk , is niet altijd het geval
    - er zijn security cameras, be wary of these
    - buy a used phone
    - get it in person, or ship it to an unusal adress (Postbox)
    - sim card : prepaid met cash, indien wettelijk mogelijk : in Be niet , in NL (nog) wel
    - abbonnement : met cash : is zeer onwaarschijnlijk
  • android os is op zich zelf reeds problematisch , tenzij de-googled
  • type of phone
  • appleID & googleID are matched to IMSI (serial nr of the sim card ) and EMEI (phone serial ID )
  • credit cards, etc are being matched to your appleID & googleID
  • iphone & android phone have build in wifi triangulation :
    buid in the os / chip , cannot be turned of for apple or google android (wel met een de-googled android phone)
  • gps tracking : use flip phones for calling
  • pre paid burner phones = not great , because all are android based , only safe if used only once and no trace of buying to you
  • old blackberries
  • Purism Librem 5 Linux Phone , ok for privacy & tracking , but will in itself not help against surveilleince

other problems apart from the phone itself

  • government have immense resources
  • voice fingerprint = even uniek als een vingerafdruk
  • analysing your habbits : data patronen , who do you call ? , track your wife bijvb.
  • techniques such as relationship mapping , etc
  • stingray attacks : man in the middle attack tussen een beller en de tower { you <-> stingray spy device <-> your carrier }
  • 5G : has beam forming antenna technology (laser focused location tracking )
  • use of SIGINT :
    - relationship mapping
    - correlation of data : email / phone # / social media / etc
