Happy to share the public release of a PoC for Carbonara, a 2023 MediaTek DA1 exploit that has been used by multiple tools over the past few years but never before had a public release / information / reference.
The PoC is called penumbra, and it was fully developed from scratch by shomy! Make sure to check it out: https://github.com/shomykohai/penumbra! It also includes a great documentation.
She reverse engineered a paid GSM tool and, with a bit of help from me to understand the exploit mechanics, produced both the PoC and clear documentation explaining how the exploit works.
As a bonus, here's an MTKClient pull request that adds support for Carbonara, making the exploit available to other SoCs that aren't currently supported by penumbra.
Once again, huge thanks to shomy for the original research and implementation!

I Built a $20,000 Military Router for $106.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofR7GFNZzJY
The Military contacted me...
I reverse-engineered a $20,000 military IP mesh radio using just $106.23 in open-source parts. This isn't a gimmick—it's a fully functional MANET router capable of push-to-talk, GPS sharing, ATAK integration, and more. In this video, I’ll show you how I built it, tested it, and deployed it in the real world—no subscriptions, no middlemen, just raw decentralized power. Whether you're off-grid, mission-ready, or just sick of Big Tech, this changes everything.

Interestingly:
As we know, the exploit has been patched on newer devices. From what I could confirm, devices released after in 2024 and after are patched against Carbonara, but some are still vulnerable anyway (most likely, OEMs not pulling mediatek patches in time).
Some devices I could confirm being vulnerable are:
- Moto G23/G13
- Moto G24
- Honor 200 Lite

Hi @bkerler!
I recently rediscovered Carbonara exploit, and used the opportunity to make my own mtk tool: penumbra.
I used mtkclient and logs to study how the protocol works, as well as taking some...

⚡️MIT Media Lab Lets You Talk Without Speaking with AlterEgo
MIT Media Lab unveiled a new demo of AlterEgo, a wearable device that lets you communicate without opening your mouth.
It doesn’t read your mind—AlterEgo detects subtle electrical signals in your jaw triggered by your “inner voice.” With 7 skin electrodes and AI models, it can turn silent speech into words, numbers, or even commands for apps.
The device is aimed at people with speech impairments, but it also pushes us closer to transhumanist territory—where even face-to-face communication may run through machines.
Is this assistive tech… or a step toward merging with AI?
