A border patrol helicopter was seen circling Capitol Hill yesterday. Theories range from scare tactic, planning for future raids or even active stingray snooping.

So if you have a stingray detector in the flight path maybe check your logs.

I shall complain a little bit on a stance from EFF and how I think they should be pushing harder. Not so long ago Australia decided to ban any platform where users can upload things, to anybody who is younger than 16 years. This is an ageist, paternalistic atrocity and has to be fought with viciousness. Yet EFF seem to only understand the ...

We are not lawyers, nor our alter egos play as such on the Internet. Ergo in the face of legal challenges we are only rusticos.

If you feel ad idem and want to lend a hand, or head, to #FDroid pro bono and bona fide, you can help in our ongoing efforts ad infinitum.

Interesting. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying #EFF #rayhunter it seems all the devices listed on eBay are locked to Verizon. I’m wondering would it be possible to get an unlocked device? Or if that would be necessary in Australia

"So in ruling for our clients, the judge found that the mere fact that DOGE could access their records was an injury that gave us standing to proceed – and also found that there were other injuries that would separately give us standing, including the possibility that DOGE's breach could expose our clients to "hacking, identity theft, and other activities that are substantially harmful."

The US government repeatedly argued that we weren't accusing them of disclosing our clients' records, every time they did this, the judge pointed to our actual filings, which plainly assert that DOGE agents were "viewing, possessing and using" our clients' records, and that this constitutes "disclosure" under the law, and according to OPM's own procedures.

The judge found that we were entitled to seek relief under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which proscribes the conduct of federal agencies – and that our relief could be both "declaratory" (meaning a court could rule that DOGE was breaking the law) and "injunctive" (meaning the court could order DOGE to knock it off)."

I certainly hope those that had a knee jerk reaction to #EFF’s misguided #AI article kept their donations in tact.

Just updated my Orbic Hostspot with latest release of Rayhunter. Looking forward to bringing it with me to the protest tomorrow in Boston.

Anyone know if there are any off-line analysis/detection tools for the packet captures? i.e. more sophisticated detection algorithms that require more space or compute power than the device provides

The bad news is that I was sitting in a waiting room for a spinal x-ray since I’ve been having recurring lower back spasms and pain.

The good news is an older woman saw the back of my @eff “Stay Golden” hoodie¹ and stopped to tell me, “That’s absolutely beautiful!” and we struck up a brief conversation about the #EFF. She didn’t really grok what the EFF is/does, but she repeatedly told me how beautiful the design was!

I forgot to tell her it glows in the dark.
