@bob_zim @micahflee @heiseonline @golem Makes sense.

• After all, the whole #IMSIcatcher system can be detected by passive #SIGINT as it's an active attack on mobile networks.

I wounder if I can get a compatible device in #Germany as well...

• Bonis points if that device has a freely reprogrammable #IMEI to allow hiding it's identity.

@mbacarella

Yeah...
Whilst I am not a fan of #AI which I think will in the long run, will be detrimental to humans, I am far from the "AI Slop" luddites.

But when #deepseek killed their web login a few days back. I was extremely sceptical of loading the app on my device.
Thank you for doing the gods work and verifying my concerns.

I think the #Australian #sigint mob might have done a similar analysis because only a couple of days ago they issued a directive banning it off Government devices.

The Webby interface was under constant DOS attacks, so that might have accelerated app only deploy.

At 12:29 in the podcast, there’s info about a specific encrypted German Police message - transmitted in #Morsecode during #WWII - which was intercepted by the #ChicksandsPriory #Ystation - then forwarded to #BletchleyPark for decryption - through which the Allies heard ( for the 1st time through #SIGINT ) about horrific mass killings of Jews that were happening across Europe at the time. #RAFChicksands #ChicksandsRAFB #Chicksands #WWIIhistory #MilitaryIntelligence #SignalsIntelligence #Holocaust

And meanwhile we have sort of re-engineered three of these four-meter dishes and identified their targets. All three are C-band dishes and there are not that many C-band sats around any more in the segment from Greenwich to 15°.
Posted a thread on this lately, always fediverse first, and I'm currently doing a longread for a magazine here.

tl;dr: They are collecting signals intelligence mainly for their African putsch politics

@mattblaze

Ah ok, different network., rremember. As you mentioned thíngs going unnoticed in plain sight. Everybody passing by the Russian embassy to the UN in Vienna could see 4 large dishes on top. Nobody cared what they might be doing there for years .

Late in 2022 we shot the roof with zooms & sent a drone up. Voilà: a full blown #SIGiNT station with a dozen dishes. And the NSA watching them from their "stateroom" hut above the nearby US embassy to the UN.

@ai6yr

This is wy I have been doing much more of nearfield #SIGINT here.
More phun. Seen this ongoing 433 MHz ISM bsnd thread below?
They are secondary users with fuqing 100 milliwhiskeys and we are not. This is our band, companero.

Next to come: oil tank level indicators, house control and alarm sstems, rolling code keys of various cars.
Plus an indoor marihuana grow room system in the hood where I am stuck

@AmbianceAsunder I mean, given the listed sample of a state-sponsored attack, we can assume the attackers have some basic project management skills and being able to collect both #OSINT and mobilize local assets to collect #SIGINT on street level.

• Not to mention none of the revealed info indicates they could've done it with like #OpenStreetmap / #GoogleMaps and a simple #notepad at hand.

After all, they most likely only realized that #WiFi-connected / authenticated devices are exempted by having collected #INTEL on the targeted org's employees and their workflows.

• Making me conclude they had access to employer handbooks and IT documentation via a unclassified employee. But they couldn't risk have said #insider / #UC blow their cover by i.e. smuggling in an unathorized #device or sth.

It would however make sense to have someone inside as a #canary even if they ain't in #IT nor have any privilegues…

• After all, depending on the organizational size it's a statistical inevitability to have privileged access...

Otherwise we need to descend a bit further down to the protocol level.

This is the chip :

Righty right. There is this large logistics centre less than 1 Km in line of sight and the other 433 thingie should be a portable bar code machine.

We appreciate all of this and we close tonight's technoromance show ....

Enough of weather stations and flat tyres 433 MHz chickenshit. These are two different remote control sytems , each sporting more than one button.
Nice.

OK and they say things like "encrypted" and "tristate code". Need to look into this further, because

ALL YOUR FUQING SENSORS ARE BELONG TO US!

Here is a flat tyre. Less than a bar. 88 KPa according to Abarth-124 Spider TPMS. Related car should be somewhere in a garage down here in suburbia.

And this is the first recorded example of sensor impostor syndrome. Renault -0345R claiming a vertical acceleration of 295m/s².

π x thumb this should be 30G if my estimate is correct. This is in Gargantuan if not Elonmuskian fraud dimensons.

Abarth tyre sensors. These are the type of sensors we see amidst the noise of these pesky weather stations. Need to rtfm how to exclude these.

Fordie was not alone, here is a Toyota tyre plus three other tyres apparently belonging to two different Renaults.
