Expert's Take On Hacker Burner Phones, Automation and Hardware
summary
Three short, specific briefings: a step‑by‑step burner‑phone OPSEC playbook—buy with cash, register via ProtonMail + ProtonVPN, order to an Amazon Locker, use a Moto G7 or similar, keep the device in a Silent Pocket/Mission Darkness Faraday bag, use Signal and offline maps, remove battery when possible; a DevOps automation manifesto—treat everything as code, use CI/CD (Jenkins/GitLab), source‑control even tiny scripts, expect RBAC and iteration‑time tradeoffs; and DARPA’s SSITH hardware work—memory tagging, capability restrictions, CHERI, a FETT bug bounty with 500 researchers and 10,000 hours that largely prevented exploits, aiming for ARM/Morello silicon by ~2023.
