And the packing has begun. We are getting ready to move again and things are working out. Things get simpler when you take away all the crap getting in the way of your life. I think we are on to something here. Lets see how Arizona works out.

Got to watch splashdown live. It rocked.
Stay Away From My Phone
I was talking to the blackphone people about the baseband and the lower firmwares of the phone that they make. I really need to look more into this but I would assume an un exploitable device would need to have its lower level firmware audited.
See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseband_processor
So I saw an email in my inbox about the PiPhone and I was immediately interested. It uses the Sim900 GSM/GPRS module and AT commands for communication to the network and such. I emailed Elecfreaks about how open the device is because I am interested.
This needs to happen and I think one of the bigger parts of this is how the devices need to be FCC certified. I do not know of any open device that gives access to these firmwares. I think cell could happen with a proper SDR and such but I do not know much about that either. What do they use to setup those fake cell phone towers? I think I have some info about that on the wiki. Still it is all interesting.
