I am forwarding you this email in the hope that it will be useful:(They simply could not have known what reason I was installing mininet for and that I would try to install it at all if they would not have observed what I was doing even if they would have supposed that I wanna continue on a̅tea. Besides this kind of live-blocking every step that would be useful to achieve my goal is noteable on a computer that I believed to be totally clean in the time before. That was how things started to uncover.)
-------- Originalnachricht -------- Betreff: Re: arbitrary code execution on unformatted usb stick Datum: 02.05.2020 18:22 Von: estellnb@elstel.org An: vince@vheuser.com Dear VinceI in deed mean that they have an internet connection channel for this offline computer. The computer does not have Wifi nor a LAN cable. What they were doing can not be explained by other means. I wonder how they transfer the data between the internet and that computer that should be separated physically from the internet. What I have observed can not be explained by malware unleashed at the time I have last plugged an USB stick.

Yes, I know the article and the long history building up that capacity. You may recall I backed you up on the DANE support discussion. What you are developing is a reliable secure software system. The problem of compromised hardware is a different problem. Intel builds back door circuits for NSA into their chips So I don't think you'll build a laptop from them that NSA can't compromise. Unless you are engaging in international espionage or blowing the whistle on them like Eric Snowden, I don't think they will compromise their systems on low value targets. In that case, it doesn't make much difference that they can get in, does it? On the other hand, a working DANE system can be used to keep our conversation between us against most others except NSA and that alone is worth something. Isn't it? Debian Security list members can't do must about compromised hardware except be aware of it....
