Very dangerous I'd imagine, especially if they load in western media which is punishable by law. The software phones home all activity to the government.
On one hand it must be incredibly difficult to find any technical information and tools without access to the internet. On the other hand this has happened before, there were Hungarian game developers and cracker groups behind the Iron Curtain in the 80's (see the Moleman Longplay and Stamps Back documentaries).
The mosquito noise isn't to make bugs go away, it's to annoy children (originally targeted at teenagers) They've used it in some malls and it's obnoxious and a lot of people can still hear the sound well after being teenagers (I can still hear it and I'm in my 30s)
Its kind of amazing to me that they have something this heavily regulated, and still decide there is a dedicated, pure app to antagonize other people with.
They had this outside this Sears in my local mall back in the 90s. I think it was called the cricket. At the time, my brother and I were kids. We had no idea what it was, but we always heard this annoying electronic sound at the entrance. Our parents could not hear it.
It depends on the frequency they are using. The higher it goes the younger people in general such device will target. I can’t hear those high pitch noise anymore and I’m also in my 30s.
going into a physical store to get an app installed sounds horrible, but also sounds kind of like the best. Imagine if app developers knew that people had to go into the store to get Updates. They would be much more careful about rolling out an update, and we'd have less buggy software I suspect. It's a shame that it takes a totalitarian nation to slow stuff down like that
North Korean government has no fear of anything. As far as the public is concerned, this level of spying is normal. Westerners have to lie to themselves that the spying isn't going on.
Our phones also tells you. But everyone either has no choice but to agree, or being loyal and trusting the agencies behind it. They sugarcoat everything (of course), but it’s in the Terms & Conditions. You can randomly say “siri” and siri immediately pops up, this shows that it’s consuming that battery 24/7 at the very least, let alone the fact that they could turn it into a live mic on the other side.
@adventurefighter7501 you are not giving consent you are being forced, otherwise you cannot use anything whatsoever. Live mic? The propaganda your phone showsd you when you say stuff around it is not coincidence, since 2012. Snowden warned about this.
@@interstella0 what if I tell you they have been doing shady things like this for long time, or you thing the "send diagnose to Microsoft" is optional? Even if you don't select it, it still send your info.
With NATISIGN and SELFSIGN, doesn't this mean its impossible to share photos even among North Korean smartphones? After all it won't have a NATISIGN and the SELFSIGN wouldn't match.
If they use X.509 then SELFSIGN could be a root or an intermediate certificate and the phone could actually sign files with a unique end-entity certificate signed by SELFSIGN. This way you can share files across phones because every phone trusts SELFSING and therefore certificates signed with SELFSIGN. This is especially useful because only the end-entity certificate's private key needs to be stored on the phone and if anyone can read and use it to sign unauthorized files it can be traced back to the individual phone.
If I understand Juche governance correctly, this would be an intentional feature. The selfsign function is obviously aimed at making _any_ device-created content directly associable to the device (And user) which created it, but it *also* means that uncontrolled distribution of content among the populace fails at the first hurdle. No easier way to quell a revolution than by making it impossible for people to open photos/images created by anybody else, eh? 🖼⛔😇 I get the impression that people in DPRK _might_ be permitted to share photos with friends and family members though. Unlike in the west - Where we select an image(s) and tap „Share“- The way it's done in DPRK is to take your phone to the App Store (🤣) and tell the clerk which photos you want to share and with whom. After being screened for permissibility the photos you want to share will be printed out and handed to you so you can take them down the post office and send them to friends via an envelope and stamp... 😉
This is so barbaric. We at least have the NSA/CIA wiretap all communications and datacenters, saving a lot of space on the devices and making the process so much more "democratic". Of course you can complain about this practice to a non-existing court, unless you get transported to a non-existing gov site and get tortured for not being "patriotic" enough.
I hope I am not ignorant here, because from what I remember: Even though the spirit of your comment is true, that's not how it works. Canada spies and holds data on the United States, the United States does the same to Germany, Germany to Canada, Britain to France, and on and on and on and on. In one big circle-yerk ! So *TECHNICALLY* , the United States isn't violating any of your *"God-Given"* rights, freedoms, or privacies. *And they do say that "Technically Correct" is the best kind of correct !¡!•¡!¡•!¡!*
@@Renwoxing13 this is not true. Basically the United States spies on everybody, elect to kidnap and kill citizens of any other country at will and is generally above the rule of law. Non European countries does any of this stuff. So i disagree: TECHNICALLY the united states is constantly violating human rights and at a much larger scale then any of the "evil" countries. North Korea might kill you if you are stupid enough to enter the country, but you are pretty safe from it in your own country. This is NOT true for the United States, who happily does whatever it want on foreign soil. I am certain, if a big Oil reserve would be found in Belgium the US would invade the country within 6 months, claiming that Belgium was developing weapons of mass destruction and needed to be stopped 🙂. No other country on the planet does this kind of stuff, not even Russia ...
@@Renwoxing13even if that were the case the end result would be the same, which would make those organizations agents of the government, making it literally illegal anyway. Like the police can't legally ask someone to spy on your phone for them because then they become an agent of the police. Can someone do it and give it to the police? Precedent says yes, but that is the legal equivalent of "we decided it's not illegal even though it totally is but it's tradition." And truthfully having foreign countries spying on you is even worse and would basically be an act of war to any person who isn't brain dead. The only problem is everyone spies on everyone because no one can mind their own freaking business so it's a round robin of hypocritical executions and imprisonment and prisoner exchanges. Ultimately though the US can access any communications through the telecom network directly, they can put a man in the middle between any communications on sms and the cell network and so can every country and literally most high level hacking collectives. The price for entry is like 10k. It's actually ridiculous how insecure everything is. Then you run into the government doing honeypots and selling all the illegal stuff to rug pull all the criminal organizations, hilarious but legal grey area. This all is basically peanuts in comparison to the absolute ultimate technical marvel achieved by stuxnet, which if someone even replicated its behavior to a minor degree they could infect every system on earth and collect data through em radiation or any number of other weird methods, especially if they can infect the supply chain or compromise the factory that produces the material. The ultimate hack would be infecting the electrical grid. This is something movies talk about a lot but I am skeptical of it even being possible, but potentially with a powerful enough AI or machine learning program you could manage a way to transmit data directly through the electrical grid if you can find a way to manage how it is stepped down and processed through the outlet, or by figuring out a way to compromise the power unit on a computer to feed instructions to the motherboard through it remotely. Assuming you had a strong enough electromagnetic source you could conceivably interact with any computer that doesn't have protective shielding, and to a certain degree you might even be able to infect a computer through an active camera if there is some critical software bug in its design and you can feed information directly to it. But the government doesn't even have to do any of that hard stuff. They just have access to everything because they pretty much always have. The value of America's business is so much that any company will basically acquiesce to any request they make, and they just save records for them and give them out whenever they ask. Then on top of that they can illegally infect everyone with spyware that never gets detected because it doesn't do weird identity theft bs and there you go.
5:44 It's a red flag when an North Korean smartphone take a screenshot without your consent, but it's ok and we should accept it, when Microsoft Recall does it.🤔🤔
Haven't found one person who said that. As far as I can remember, people were actually trying to get Microsoft to get rid of it due to privacy concerns. Literally every article that talks about Recall, has said it's useless and a huge invasion of privacy. Just because Microsoft said we should accept it, doesn't mean anyone did. Stop digging for problems that don't exist. It's why society today has an average IQ of a dog turd.
That is an ancient thing, even my W810i had it many moons ago. It does not work. In hindsight, I doubt the speakers can even create the promised frequencies.
You already have that pre-installed on your phone. It's also always running, kind of like a widget of sorts. All you have to do is to apply your phone to the bug in question with sufficient momentum. You can even do that by throwing, if you don't want your hand to get to close to said bug. But be warned: the free version of the app does not include aim assist.
Visiting a physical store to get a new app is actually pretty quaint. Feels like something from Pokémon, or a promotional gimmick from the early days of smartphones.
In some respects, this happens in the west as well. I used to have an iPhone, and when travelling found (As many do) that hostel/hotel wi-fi is terrible for updating devices or synching with YourCloud☁ or whatever platform/services you use. I soon found that Apple lay on _extraordinarily fast_ connectivity in their stores...So when on holiday I would visit the local _Apple_ Store and then proceed to open the _App_ Store. ⚙📲😁 This might sound a bit odd...But experience on my last trip showed that updating 14 apps with an average size of 200MB each was quicker over the wi-fi in the Hamburg Apple store _even with the return trip on the U-bahn from the hostel taken into account!_ 🍎🚈📱💨👍

A phone that spy on you and take a screenshot every time you open an app... That sounds really bad... Until you remember Microsofts terrible idea of recall that takes a screenshot every 3-5 seconds 😂

I want to know about the underground north Korean phone rooting market... I'm sure it exists
Very dangerous I'd imagine, especially if they load in western media which is punishable by law. The software phones home all activity to the government.
On one hand it must be incredibly difficult to find any technical information and tools without access to the internet. On the other hand this has happened before, there were Hungarian game developers and cracker groups behind the Iron Curtain in the 80's (see the Moleman Longplay and Stamps Back documentaries).
They probably just import phones that don't have those restrictions, otherwise they'd be restricted to the NK intranet too
@@davidjennings2179 Rooting just refers to the end-user getting root privileges which are otherwise restricted
@@davidjennings2179I don't think rooting can remove the intranet restriction - that's controlled by the cell network towers, not the device
The mosquito noise isn't to make bugs go away, it's to annoy children (originally targeted at teenagers)
They've used it in some malls and it's obnoxious and a lot of people can still hear the sound well after being teenagers (I can still hear it and I'm in my 30s)
Its kind of amazing to me that they have something this heavily regulated, and still decide there is a dedicated, pure app to antagonize other people with.
And people wonder why kids don't want to leave the house anymore.
They had this outside this Sears in my local mall back in the 90s. I think it was called the cricket. At the time, my brother and I were kids. We had no idea what it was, but we always heard this annoying electronic sound at the entrance. Our parents could not hear it.
It depends on the frequency they are using. The higher it goes the younger people in general such device will target. I can’t hear those high pitch noise anymore and I’m also in my 30s.

5:57 its funny how these phones have more transparancy about their spying than western phones
North Korean government has no fear of anything. As far as the public is concerned, this level of spying is normal. Westerners have to lie to themselves that the spying isn't going on.
Our phones also tells you. But everyone either has no choice but to agree, or being loyal and trusting the agencies behind it. They sugarcoat everything (of course), but it’s in the Terms & Conditions.
You can randomly say “siri” and siri immediately pops up, this shows that it’s consuming that battery 24/7 at the very least, let alone the fact that they could turn it into a live mic on the other side.
the automatic screenshot looks exactly like what Microsoft Copilot do for their Recall feature.
@adventurefighter7501 you are not giving consent you are being forced, otherwise you cannot use anything whatsoever.
Live mic? The propaganda your phone showsd you when you say stuff around it is not coincidence, since 2012. Snowden warned about this.
@@interstella0 what if I tell you they have been doing shady things like this for long time, or you thing the "send diagnose to Microsoft" is optional? Even if you don't select it, it still send your info.
With NATISIGN and SELFSIGN, doesn't this mean its impossible to share photos even among North Korean smartphones? After all it won't have a NATISIGN and the SELFSIGN wouldn't match.
if thats truly how it works then yes that would be the case. I would think they would have a way to do it somehow though
Sounds like the best Anti-piracy software. Don't let Hollywood and Music Industry or anyone find about it.
If they use X.509 then SELFSIGN could be a root or an intermediate certificate and the phone could actually sign files with a unique end-entity certificate signed by SELFSIGN. This way you can share files across phones because every phone trusts SELFSING and therefore certificates signed with SELFSIGN. This is especially useful because only the end-entity certificate's private key needs to be stored on the phone and if anyone can read and use it to sign unauthorized files it can be traced back to the individual phone.
If I understand Juche governance correctly, this would be an intentional feature. The selfsign function is obviously aimed at making _any_ device-created content directly associable to the device (And user) which created it, but it *also* means that uncontrolled distribution of content among the populace fails at the first hurdle. No easier way to quell a revolution than by making it impossible for people to open photos/images created by anybody else, eh? 🖼⛔😇
I get the impression that people in DPRK _might_ be permitted to share photos with friends and family members though. Unlike in the west - Where we select an image(s) and tap „Share“- The way it's done in DPRK is to take your phone to the App Store (🤣) and tell the clerk which photos you want to share and with whom. After being screened for permissibility the photos you want to share will be printed out and handed to you so you can take them down the post office and send them to friends via an envelope and stamp... 😉
Not necessarily, but it would make it possible to trace the origins of any images
This is so barbaric. We at least have the NSA/CIA wiretap all communications and datacenters, saving a lot of space on the devices and making the process so much more "democratic". Of course you can complain about this practice to a non-existing court, unless you get transported to a non-existing gov site and get tortured for not being "patriotic" enough.
I hope I am not ignorant here, because from what I remember:
Even though the spirit of your comment is true, that's not how it works.
Canada spies and holds data on the United States, the United States does the same to Germany, Germany to Canada, Britain to France, and on and on and on and on.
In one big circle-yerk !
So *TECHNICALLY* , the United States isn't violating any of your *"God-Given"* rights, freedoms, or privacies.
*And they do say that "Technically Correct" is the best kind of correct !¡!•¡!¡•!¡!*
@@Renwoxing13 this is not true. Basically the United States spies on everybody, elect to kidnap and kill citizens of any other country at will and is generally above the rule of law. Non European countries does any of this stuff. So i disagree: TECHNICALLY the united states is constantly violating human rights and at a much larger scale then any of the "evil" countries. North Korea might kill you if you are stupid enough to enter the country, but you are pretty safe from it in your own country. This is NOT true for the United States, who happily does whatever it want on foreign soil. I am certain, if a big Oil reserve would be found in Belgium the US would invade the country within 6 months, claiming that Belgium was developing weapons of mass destruction and needed to be stopped 🙂. No other country on the planet does this kind of stuff, not even Russia ...
@@Renwoxing13even if that were the case the end result would be the same, which would make those organizations agents of the government, making it literally illegal anyway. Like the police can't legally ask someone to spy on your phone for them because then they become an agent of the police. Can someone do it and give it to the police? Precedent says yes, but that is the legal equivalent of "we decided it's not illegal even though it totally is but it's tradition."
And truthfully having foreign countries spying on you is even worse and would basically be an act of war to any person who isn't brain dead. The only problem is everyone spies on everyone because no one can mind their own freaking business so it's a round robin of hypocritical executions and imprisonment and prisoner exchanges.
Ultimately though the US can access any communications through the telecom network directly, they can put a man in the middle between any communications on sms and the cell network and so can every country and literally most high level hacking collectives. The price for entry is like 10k.
It's actually ridiculous how insecure everything is. Then you run into the government doing honeypots and selling all the illegal stuff to rug pull all the criminal organizations, hilarious but legal grey area.
This all is basically peanuts in comparison to the absolute ultimate technical marvel achieved by stuxnet, which if someone even replicated its behavior to a minor degree they could infect every system on earth and collect data through em radiation or any number of other weird methods, especially if they can infect the supply chain or compromise the factory that produces the material.
The ultimate hack would be infecting the electrical grid. This is something movies talk about a lot but I am skeptical of it even being possible, but potentially with a powerful enough AI or machine learning program you could manage a way to transmit data directly through the electrical grid if you can find a way to manage how it is stepped down and processed through the outlet, or by figuring out a way to compromise the power unit on a computer to feed instructions to the motherboard through it remotely.
Assuming you had a strong enough electromagnetic source you could conceivably interact with any computer that doesn't have protective shielding, and to a certain degree you might even be able to infect a computer through an active camera if there is some critical software bug in its design and you can feed information directly to it.
But the government doesn't even have to do any of that hard stuff. They just have access to everything because they pretty much always have. The value of America's business is so much that any company will basically acquiesce to any request they make, and they just save records for them and give them out whenever they ask. Then on top of that they can illegally infect everyone with spyware that never gets detected because it doesn't do weird identity theft bs and there you go.

Visiting a physical store to get a new app is actually pretty quaint. Feels like something from Pokémon, or a promotional gimmick from the early days of smartphones.
In some respects, this happens in the west as well. I used to have an iPhone, and when travelling found (As many do) that hostel/hotel wi-fi is terrible for updating devices or synching with YourCloud☁ or whatever platform/services you use. I soon found that Apple lay on _extraordinarily fast_ connectivity in their stores...So when on holiday I would visit the local _Apple_ Store and then proceed to open the _App_ Store. ⚙📲😁
This might sound a bit odd...But experience on my last trip showed that updating 14 apps with an average size of 200MB each was quicker over the wi-fi in the Hamburg Apple store _even with the return trip on the U-bahn from the hostel taken into account!_ 🍎🚈📱💨👍
