«Разблокируй телефон» — как я реализовал фейковый мессенджер для допроса
Привет, Хабр! Я разрабатываю open-source мессенджер Xipher (C++/Android), и одна из фич, которую пришлось проектировать особенно тщательно — Panic Mode . Это система правдоподобной отрицаемости (plausible deniability): при вводе специального PIN-кода мессенджер показывает полностью фейковую , но убедительную базу данных с поддельными чатами, а параллельно отправляет скрытый SOS-сигнал на сервер. В статье разберу архитектуру целиком — от криптографического разделения баз до генерации правдоподобных фейков и маскировки panic-алерта под рутинный сетевой запрос. Весь код — из реального проекта. Исходники открыты — ссылка на GitHub в конце статьи.

Francesca Albanese at bUm
A lecture by UN Special Rapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese as part of the February 19th event: Conditions of Life Calculated to Destroy, #Legal and #Forensic Perspectives on the Ongoing #Gaza #Genocide - at bUm, Berlin.
The lecture was supposed to take place in a big lecture hall at Freie universitat, along with Eyal Weizman, director of #ForensicArchitecture. But the university cancelled the event after massive critique, amongst others from the Israeli ambassador, and from the #mayor of Berlin, #KaiWegner, who called it antisemitic. The relocated event at bUm took place under police presence. A few days earlier, Albanese’s lecture at a University in #Munich had also been cancelled, as we mentioned in Episode One.
Huge thanks to #UN #SpecialRapporteur Francesca Albanese, Zoë Claire Miller and bUm Berlin.

State and local leaders say
💥they do not believe that the #FBI #investigation of the shooting death of #Renee #Nicole #Good will be fair and impartial,
-- and are sounding alarms about the impact of federal officials
🆘 holding onto evidence in a potential prosecution of the ICE agent who killed her.
Minnesota’s lead investigative agency,
the "Bureau of Criminal Apprehension" ( #BCA ),
initially began investigating the shooting in conjunction with the FBI.
But the BCA issued a statement Thursday morning saying that
“the US attorney’s office had reversed course:
the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI,
and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials,
scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation”.
Hennepin county attorney
#Mary #Moriarty,
an elected Democrat and the county’s prosecutor, clarified at a press conference Friday that
the BCA
– which was established in 1927
– has a very high investigative standard
💥and that this standard can’t be met when the organization doesn’t have access to all the evidence.
It does not preclude an investigation, she said.
But a lack of access to evidence hampers the investigation.
“When the BCA came to the scene,
the evidence had been taken by the FBI,” she said.
“They collected the car and took it wherever the BCA does not have access to the car.
And the problem isn’t that the FBI took the car,
it’s that the BCA doesn’t have access to the car, or right now,
even access to the #forensic #evaluation that happens as a result of the investigation with that car.”
Looks like genuine mistake here - not even malice or incompetence but maybe made worse by #austerity (with delays in access to specialist #forensic staff)
#RTC with #fatalities and serious #injuries happened late at night on a weekend, some in #car weren't cooperating with #Police (possibly due to bad #driving) - two lads (one killed, one badly injured) were similar in appearance leading to mixup in #identification for a few days (#NHS don't store detailed #dental records of citizens, so some #forensic work would have had to wait until the start of the week when the dentists offices were open)
I am emailing a ton of lawyers, hopefully can get somebody local, it may be a slog cause terms? but overall should be open and shut - settlements but actual enforcement - definite maybe thus the settlements, nothing is coerced but nda to all parties. soft power or leverage via mutual enemy will be factor? that's why i need a good lawyer to sort it all out asap #hippa #forensic accountant #affidavits
