New Android #PIF #module scam on telegram

## 🚨 SCAM ALERT! 🚨 Fake Play Integrity Fixes That Can Brick Your Phone!

Hey everyone, pay attention! Play integrity issues are common these days, but the solutions are usually easy. Unfortunately, some people are exploiting this with fake "fixes" that actually contain dangerous code designed to ruin your phone!

This is what happened to me:

Last night, a user with the ID 7402776516 messaged me about a "PIF fork module" that supposedly fixes play integrity issues. I was tired and didn't think twice, so I agreed to use it later.

(See Screenshot 1: The message I received.)

When I looked at the module's code this morning, I was horrified! It contained malicious code that could completely destroy my phone.

(See Screenshot 2: The dangerous code.)

Thankfully, I recognized the danger and didn't proceed. But many people wouldn't be so lucky.

Here's what you need to know:

• Never download modules from unknown sources or shady websites.
• Only trust official release channels or reputable developers.
• Be wary of unsolicited messages about "play integrity fixes," especially those from unfamiliar users.
• If you're unsure about anything, ask a tech-savvy friend for help.

Remember: Your phone is valuable. Don't let anyone trick you into ruining it!
✓ Reading this telegraph might help someone

Stay safe and share this information with your friends to help stop these scams!

Cinux
Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code. Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status. See Several Russian developers lose kernel maintainership status.
This problematic decision is not an isolated incident. Recent dramas include adding Rust language developers like Alex Gaynor, who literally does nothing. See Unsafe Hell! Code review of "Rust for Linux" github project. Also the filesystem dramaRust in Linux lead retires rather than deal with more "nontechnical nonsense". His hatred towards C++ is another issue. It is no wonder nobody wants to contribute to Linux anymore. He really should not complain. There are also many other fundamental disagreements between me and him, such as no crashing for out-of-bounds errors, allocation failure, etc. I always support fail-fast for abstraction machine corruption and programming bugs.
What is my plan?
Maybe it is time to start a fork and rename it to Cinux (cqwrteur's Linux). I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).
If I can, I will start to fix the kernel headers to support using freestanding C++ (at least, it needs C++26 standard; otherwise, it would be too broken) in the kernel with this portable C++ guideline. We will not use C++ exceptions or RTTI but will wait for P0709 Herbceptions Proposal. For a lot of functionalities missing in the C++ standard library (like array, vector) for freestanding, my fast_io library should be an acceptable replacement. See here.
I will also try to merge important forks like Asahi Linux for Apple Silicon support (the rust issue is another matter since Rust language developers and Rust foundations are very hostile to Russia and China). I will try to contain it before we have new solutions, such as a rewrite. Important forks also include Linux on Microsoft Surface.

Pandora

A red team tool that assists into extracting/dumping master credentials and/or entries from different #password managers.

This is a red team tool that assists in gathering credentials from different password managers. They are separated into three categories, Windows 10 desktop applications, browsers, and browser plugins. This may work on other OS, like Linux, but it is not tested yet. In this release (v1.0), the tool supports 14 password managers, with 18 different implementations (e.g., the tool could dump credentials either from the desktop app, or the browser plugin of the same product). Specifically, in most cases, password managers must be up and unlocked for the tool to work.

Today at PMRExpo in Cologne we launched our long awaited new high performance encrypted radio system Kaonic 1S. We demoed file sending, live audio calls, and encrypted messaging.

- cryptographic mesh: Kaonic uses Rust-based Reticulum mesh networking with up to 128 network hops (10X compared to LoRa)

- performance: Kaonic 1S features dual radios for simultaneous operations unlocking new capabilities like live audio/video. Each radio has data rates of up to 2400 kbps and 600 kbps for CE/FCC versions.

- open source software and firmware and modularity: soon to be published on GitHub, all code will be available on MIT License. Kaonic 1S runs Yocto Linux. Featuring expansion ports for FPGA, microphones, speakers, sensors and dual USB-C connectors.

Kaonic is more than a radio module, it’s a full featured radio-based single board computer set to revolutionise decentralised communications.

Simulated area coverage between two Kaonic 1S at 1 Watt output power at 2 metre antenna height:

87 km² (54 mi²)

Simulated area coverage between two Kaonic 1S at 1 Watt output power at 500 metre antenna altitude (drone scenario):

926 km² (575 mi²)

How to simulate Kaonic’s range for your area with Radio Mobile Online

Kaonic will enable unstoppable, uncensorable mesh networks everywhere. Our production is now ramping up and nothing can stop it

Our previous product Beechat Clip had only one radio to which users needed to connect via USB. Each radio module was region specific, so when travelling to a region with other frequency bands, the module would not work in that region. It had a maximum of 32 network hops.

Over the last year, we've developed Kaonic:
- 2x independent radios
- Live audio call capability (instead of walkie-talkie "push-to-talk")
- Frequency switchable for different regions (868/900 MHz)
- Longer range at highest data rate option (over 200%)
- More than 200% maximum data rate from previous model (250 vs 600 kbps)
- Capability to connect not only via USB, but also via WiFi tethering, and Bluetooth pairing
- Up to 128 network hops for globally scalable networks
- Open source firmware
- End-to-end encrypted
