This workshop will be using Amnesty International’s Mobile Verification Toolkit to see if your Android or iOS has been compromised by Pegasus. The workshop will open with a short talk on mobile spyware and general principles of communications security. To learn more about Pegasus, there are many videos, including: 60 Minutes Archive: “NSO Group’s Pegasus.” Note: The presenters of this workshop do not consent to mechanical recording of their presentation, but feel free to take notes.
Sunday 1230 Sutton Place / Workshop A
Stephen Boriotti is a software developer of over 30 years and has a fair amount of experience with Linux (including Linux firewalls...). An activist friend asked Stephen to check their phone with Amnesty International’s Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) to see if it was compromised - and it was! This is why Stephen offers his services to conduct his labs.
Matthew Hopard is currently a comp sci major at CUNY Brooklyn and has a fair amount of experience with Python Django (the MVT is written in Python...).
Gabriel Ruiz spends much of his time exploring the latest distros. He also loves Meshtastic, which offers superior privacy to Android. He feels it is a promising alternative to traditional text messaging, as it’ s a decentralized platform that can be used with no registration and has a strong potential to not have personal information tied to senders and recipients.
