End-to-End Encryption (E2E) is Dead. Killed By New Tech.

- Using End-to-End encryption will no longer be a guaranteed safe method of communication. A new method will have to be invented as approaches using apps from Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram and others will no longer provide this safety. This is something the 3-Letter agencies have wanted for many years. And they have gotten their way.

I can see old hardware becoming quite valuable. Don't throw away your old phones and PCs, put them into storage like they're vintage cars or art collections.
I wish that were the case because I have a huge amount of old hardware due to being a Linux user who does a lot of PC salvage and repair.
Unfortunately, if people turn away from these "snooping devices" (which they should do if they have at least half a brain) then the evil corporations will simply take the "snooping bits" out of the hardware, or find another more secretive way of snooping. In either case, they will just make new hardware and the lemmings will buy it.

I am currently using a desktop computer I built from scratch over 12 years ago. I won't change as long as it still works. I have some older PCs, and I might stock up on some processors and memory in case I need them in the future. I don't use cellphones, tablets, or laptops, so I don't worry about them. If I need a laptop, I have an old one, old enough that it came with XP. I've already put Linux on it as dual boot for a try out. As soon as I can get straight with software, I'll switch the desktop to Linux. But I use some specialized software that I'd have to run under WINE or other emulator until the software gets ported or rewritten.

Hand grenades and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition have been pulled from the ashes of the Branch Davidian home, a court document says.
By The Associated Press
1 min. readView original
Hand grenades and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition have been pulled from the ashes of the Branch Davidian home, a court document says.
Evidence of a stockpiled arsenal seems to support claims by federal agents who tried to serve the religious sect with search and arrest warrants for illegal weapons.
The document, filed Friday in federal court, is the first public accounting of what Texas Rangers have found in the charred ruins of the Davidian compound.
The Rangers, who are heading the investigation into the cult’s 51-day standoff with authorities and its aftermath, collected almost 2,000 pieces of evidence by late last week, the document says. That number does not include bullet casings.
Assistant U.S. Attorney W. Ray Jahn wrote in his report that investigators have recovered 200 recognizable firearms, numerous gun parts and tools that could be used to manufacture automatic weapons.
“Initial and preliminary examination of these weapons indicate they included (semi-or fully-) automatic weapons and two .50- caliber weapons,” Jahn said,
The document did not make clear whether the guns were legal semiautomatic weapons or had been converted for automatic fire.
The gun battle Feb. 28 erupted when agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms attempted to arrest cult leader Vernon Howell. Four federal agents and six Branch Davidians were killed.
Investigators have removed 78 bodies from the burned-out compound site."
Yeah the issue is the people need the ability to make their own hardware.
The notion about guns made sense back when it was created. But it needs to be thought of more like. The people have to have the same tools as those in power else they cant fight back as effectively. And these its not just that people don't have tanks and jets they don't have the compute or the political power to fight back.

I see several people commenting about the "sheep" who are defeatists and who give up citing that "it's no use".
I agree with your frustration. But also consider how the opposition has demoralized people like us and our attempts. As somebody who is very privacy conscious, it can be exhausting when, after all, the opposition is constantly innovating and evolving to overcome our best privacy measures.
To put it another way, Jason Bourne is one heck of a character who makes for one hell of a movie. Could you imagine if you were Jason Bourne and had to maintain that same level of intensity for every waking (and technically sleeping) moment of your life? It's not sustainable. At least not when you factor in all the other stressors and rigors of life.
1. Make a living
2. Pay all the bills as inflation continues to eat away at your spending power.
3. Look after your kids and/or other dependent family members.
4. Feed yourself and those dependents high-quality food (at a time where you are actively being poisoned by low-quality, contaminated, or adulterated food). A whole other rabbit hole to dive down (in addition to the privacy rabbit hole) as it becomes more difficult to identify "good food" to buy.
5. Acquire a living space that will allow you to grow at least some of your own food.
6. Learn how to grow your own food.
7. Become more self sufficient.
Again, I am not proposing being a defeatist, but it is quite an undertaking as you can see how quickly life becomes a chain reaction of rabbit holes if we choose to go against the grain and still thrive.

@@terrydaktyllus1320Its not just money. It’s control. They think you pose a risk, and wish to make sure you can never do what they don’t want, and wish to take away the freedoms and liberty you have for that purpose. On the presumption of guilt, you are being surveilled, and on the presumption of guilt your right to self determination is being set aside. Some think because they have nothing to hide, it doesn’t matter.
The truth is, they have a right to be free from the observance and scrutiny of others if they wish it. If they are willing to do what is necessary to get it. Especially pertaining to their property, papers, and effects. Especially in their home. Every free man does. They don’t want or care to address it’s theft. They also want that power to use on others. And they don’t realize that everyone has something to hide from someone.
Whether it’s the time you ate an entire tub of icecream while crying. Or are actually a dissident to entrenched criminal element of government. Or merely strategizing to get a better deal for your business or employment.

It’s a good assumption.

@@ShamanKish nice one.
This feels a lot like the scares that happened when TPM burst into the scene under the guise of easier encrypted shopping or whatever, and suddenly it became a requirement for Windows. In order to keep selling new motherboards, the manufacturers put switches in the BIOS to completely disable the things by default. They effectively neutered the TPM threat in order to keep their customers. Can we hope that manufacturers will make the right call again and disable NPU devices that nobody wants?
You need to break things down a little better.
When an OS "supports" a piece of hardware, like TPM or an NPU chip, it simply provides a "driver" that allows a userspace application to access and user that device. It's the application, not the OS, that does nefarious things with chip - therefore you only use applications you can trust, which essentially means using Open Source applications.
Intel Management Engine (IME) is a classic example of this concept. In theory, IME could be used to gain access to a computer, but there have been no real world reports of that actually happening - mainly because the deployment of "defence in depth" would stop it being used and you would need to install an application that could "talk" to the IME anyway.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I had to skip some of the video due to the content bloating so unsure if I missed the explanation but from what I heard there was no explanation to explain how NPUs have or will have a back door. If hardware based back doors were covertly mandated by gov for "western" manufacturers, the concerns raised here would already be reality with existing hardware to access the OS. I welcome any comments to enlighten me
@@terrydaktyllus1320 The idea is that the OS won't just support NPU capability. The idea is that the OS with monitor every action and analyze it on the device and will send the potentially problematic stuff to the local authorities or something like that.
@@cyclemoto8744 A backdoor is always detectable because it puts packets over the network that can by sniffed and analysed - even if encryption stops the contents of packets being analysed, the metadata shows you where it's going to and what protocol it's using.
A piece of hardware relies on possibly three components - a driver, maybe custom firmware, and the an application to use that hardware. If the driver and application are Open Source, then nefarious activity can be checked. Custom closed firmware can't be checked but you can trace packets going over the network - so I would say the risk of any actual back doors being present in Open Source is extremely low.
@@ivailogeimara I am not sure what point you are making or answering here. The chances of that happening on Open Source software are near zero, because someone would see that it is happening.
Wow! What an EYE-OPENING video! I've read some articles regarding NPU chips but they never mention the potential risk of breaching the user's privacy & security like bypassing End to end encryption. Yes, the future is bleak for privacy & personal security activists. One of the band aid-solutions is as some other users' comments for this video says "Hang on to your old hardware!". Yes, it will work but for a short time only. Later, your old device will stop working! My greatest concern is not only big companies and governments will be able to see everything we do but also all the HACKERS will as history has shown. Thank Rob for such an EXCELLENT job!
It's not the NPU. It's the OS. Just wanting to make that clear. Explained in the future
@@robbraxmantech Thank Rob for your clarification. My question is it must be the combination of both OS & the NPU, mustn't it? For example right now, my old computer has Windows but no NPU chip therefore, Windows can't scan the contents on my computer by using the features provided by the NPU. Is that right?

So thats why Apple has been bricking my old hardware with intentionally bloated, resource heavy software updates. I always thought it was just money, now its obvious its money AND power.
They do for many years, I remember about 15 years ago,back then, they sold Time-machine modules with built-in hard drives, you could choose from several sizes, I can remember deliberately choosing the smallest one with the thought of putting in a larger hard drive later.
That worked but shortly afterwards they had a firmware update for this, unsuspectingly I downloaded it, and you guessed it, then the whole time-machine module stopped working.
Promoting every time to download the latest OS, resulting in certain programmes no longer working. It drives you crazy.

Android was much better. Then I get interested into digital drawing and was advertised on ipad drawing application. So I bought old ipad on low price and used it to draw. You mostly can't do anything else on this device. Then I stopped drawing and it just gathers dust somewhere
What do you mean by low-info? Just that you don't do a lot of advanced things on your computer? The only drawback with Linux is a lot of software doesn't (natively) run on it. I do a fair bit of media creation, music especially, Linux would greatly limit my choices of software.
It's easy, Linux simply never was better, it always had more problems and was quite hard to use without having to solve some problems all the time. It sadly didn't change to this day...
I don't think Linux will save you from this crap. Unless you deliberately use old hardware, your new pc will have an NPU and it will do its work regardless of which OS is running, it will simply bypass the OS and will 'phone home' independently. You could try to get hardware from trusted parties who say they won't put an NPU in their products, but will companies like that really be allowed to operate? If the law requires an NPU with every device, it will be extremely difficult to circumvent it.
I understand the points you are making and agree with them, but there is a point where we become fatigued dodging all the security nightmares companies are posing. If there is not a major new alternatives it is almost impossible to keep on going around these "traps"
For some it is possible, however, it is very rare for an entire local network of people to exist who are all dedicated enough to security to uniformly adopt these measures to the extent necessary. That is the big cruz of it all; you can be a security wizard but if your normie friends all think you are crazy, or they are simply too lazy, your own efforts will be completely futile.
Going into a room and physically searching people and confiscating their electronics may soon be the only way to ensure security of any kind.

I hope a company in the future will profit off of privacy. profiting off of the surveillance of the modern world. Using linux for there laptops/desktops and if they sell phones as well. Having no NPU, or any other AI crap. luckily people on Linux are safe for now, but in the future who knows. It is a time to be alive for sure, and it sucks that the US government is turning into china day by day.

You've been warning us for a long time Rob. Thank you for filling in the gaps on this topic. This is a real problem.
Thank you so much for this legitimate public service announcement, Rob. The effort and energy you put into these video is of great value in the moment and historically. The way the world is going is extremely sad / tragic / dismal / nauseating, to put it as mildly as possible. The first contraceptive to the worst-case-scenario birth of an utterly disgusting and un-liveable future is awareness.... and you are on the home-front of defence. Thank you again.
Must have been around 2007 or so when I remember hearing about the 'Personal Area Network' concept that you described here. I wouldn't mind having a device that was just a 5G modem in my pocket tethered to a secure 'phone' to provide communications and camera so long as it isn't running anything from the big tech companies. The problem, as always, is one of getting everyone else to adopt the new method, hardware/software. After using LineageOS and now e/OS exclusively for over a year I am just shy of making a convert out of my wife... how am I supposed to get my parents, brothers, best friend, and anyone else to join in?
Why don't you just buy a Raspberry Pi, connect it to a battery, install Linux on it and go from there? You can use it as a wi-fi access point with RADIUS to provide authorization and authentication to chosen endpoints - and if you need to network a few of them, just use VPN tunnels between them.
It took me about 30 seconds to think up that solution for you - the technology that lets you achieve your end result already exists.
Wouldn't matter if your still using existing cellular infrastructure. That's been fully compromised since the day it was invented. And signal capture is the other shoe dropping on that idea even if somehow you ran your own cell infrastructure. It doesn't matter who's network you use. They all ultimately use the same network to get THEIR bandwidth, and every one of those at the head of the lines are ran by those you'd want private communication from. Hard place rock
It's unbelievably frustrating because if you are too persistent, then they just think you are a paranoid conspiracy theorist. Basically, they are asleep, lazy, and uncurious and there's not much you can do about that.
Recommend a good distro?
@@notyouraveragegoldenpotato If you can encrypt your data on a device where there is no client side scanning and it is using a robust algorithm then sending it over the "compromised" networks should be fine assuming "they" don't have back doors to decrypt the data. This assumes you trust the black-box chips like the baseband modem in your device and its proprietary RTOS to not be spying on the memory of the device through the bus regardless of the top level OS running on the CPU. I don't, really, which is why I would like a device with a modem and a device for messaging that only connects when it needs to send encrypted chunks of data. Doing anything else on their networks like browsing the web, well, of course that is inherently insecure because the architecture of the web is insecure by default.

I am starting to study cybersecurity, and sadly to say, there is a mechanism so called " Remote Access ", in which I believe the Big Tech has it, on our devices. ( What we buy is not ours )
“Unfortunately you’re only safe with Linux to Linux communication” ok then … Linux it is. Now is the time to promote Linux more than ever
It is interesting you mentioned screen shots. That is what Microsoft wants to have every 5 seconds or so and they expect you to give up a lot of space for them too. It is that Recall thing that Microsoft wants to have on the computers.
the E2EE is still encrypted with a local NPU and/or hardware encryption, thats the beauty of it, without the hardware, the dataset is useless. is it possible to build a backdoor (or discover a side attack), yes. just like caching memory, pc's are vulnerable and have their own set of design flaws. once a device is trusted it can become a weakpoint, esp when you have root access and can disable things. then you can transfer the dataset and analyse it raw. more worrisome are the LLM's that are still in training and beta, those lack typically encryption completely or rely on weak software keys.
Thanks Rob, your information is always apreciated.
Shit.
Glenn Beck went over the neural processing unit. Maybe more people will hear about this and a push will be made to demand a change or have alternatives offered. The police state is heavily involved in this push with their public-private partnerships with big tech.
The NPU itself isn't a problem. The NPU could be present on Linux with no bad effect. The OS is the one that loads the neural model. In fact it could be done without an NPU but because of performance, Microsoft, Apple, and Google choose to do AI work only on computer with an NPU or GPU.

@@robbraxmantech I thought one of the functions of the NPU was to act independently to process data inside on its own and not rely on a server or a internet connection to feed back and forth from a centralized data center? So, it has the capability to independently suppress and censor information without outside commands and shape incoming data to the user.

`True that'. I have a similar saying, "If a nuclear exchange is possible, given enough time -- it will happen".
Appreciate what you're trying to do. These big tech companies are getting out of hand. Privacy should be a right not a privilege.
Always use an old separate 586 computer to write and encrypt your message, do it in a Faraday bag, and never connect online with that old computer. Transfer your encrypted message via usb memory stick for sending out. Do not trust any encryption key unless you personally exchange keys at a key party.
The only use for a Faraday bag is that it looks nice if the colour of it matches your shoes when you carry it as a fashion accessory when going out to dinner.

One time cypher pads and the cyphers make that null and moot, they're going to just get the letters and numbers, so they can do what they want, if you value encryption make your own cypher and one time cypher pads that can be flash burnt or dissolved, it may be slower with information exchange but it's mathematically impossible to crack hence why the 3 letter organisations still openly broadcast over radio for assassinations and other operations around the world with one time cypher pads because they're Mathematically impossible to crack, not one message by these organisations has ever been cracked by using a simple piece of paper and a pencil.

I've heard about those but aren't they kind of limited in scope because the decryption key has to already be pre given?
And since the key can only be used once and then immediately discarded that means you would have to give a bunch of keys are in advance and then know which one to use for the transmission

Technology also cures and treats cancer, stops people dying in car crashes and lets a lifeboat locate a sinking ship to save its crew. So what's your point?

It isn't the chip itself. It's the AI agent that's the issue. The chip is just used to run the AI model quickly. The AI agent is in memory

Even though there are definite invasions of our privacy all around us, the main thing to keep in mind is that we still can empower and educate ourselves as individuals and limit our exposure to privacy invasions by making ourselves hard targets.

I rather enjoy Naomi Brockwell's work in this regard.
The answer is to adapt and move along with the times, instead of choosing to throw your hands up and succumb to being left behind.
Absolutely and well said. You have to decide for yourself what the threats are first and then decide how you will mitigate them - and you need to be realistic about it.
For example, if you're a tax paying citizen in a First World country with a bank account, mortgage and credit cards, there is not a lot you can do to conceal yourself from your government anyway.
But you can restrict what data evil corporations try to take from you, that is an easier problem to start addressing - as per Rob's videos.
