If 3 letter agencies backdoor every device at the hardware level, what stops other people from using those backdoors? Checkmate schizos

>yeah lets blow up our botnets with low iq trolling iunstead of monetizing them for fat stacks, just to show people we exist
theres a reason you dont have access to these backdoors

nothing and they do

>>105665090 (OP)
Certificates

>>105665090 (OP)
Nothing, hence the US mobile network not being recommended to be used anymore without encryption

umm maybe it's encrypted with a password?

The more people you have that use them the more it becomes obvious that they exist. If the only thing keeping people from using them was security through obscurity, you would have way too many people on them. There must be some other limiting factor.
>>105665114
no lol that's a meme technology you don't know shit

A bunch of skilled people have access to the backdoored hardware and could reverse engineer it

There isn't any proof of it. Intel ME is designed for IT admins to lock stolen PCs, not for use by the NSA.
However if anyone, including the NSA found a vuln in it and didn't disclose it, they could use it.

>>105665194
yeah, but not many people use them
and people who do are usually smart enough to at least control the childish need to display their power levels
and blow up their botnet
""""""self preservation"""""" is another factor in why these things dont get widely used, or in a spectacular fashion

you can rest assured these things do exist
some non gov people know how to leverage them
and you can be sure that you wont notice a thing when theyll get used

>>105665194
i mean the nsa themselves repeatedly get caught

Why do we not hear about random retards getting in legal trouble because of hardware backdoors all the time?

>>105665771
Why would they waste their bag of tricks on random retards?

>>105665090 (OP)
You can just put the back doors in plain sight and then give """law enforcement""" access. That's basically every security measure.

>>105665090 (OP)
Thats why companies have rewards for people who can hack their devices or softwares. By doing this they can see who to put on a watchlist and who they can hire if they're not a complete schizo.

>>105665771
not sure what you think a random retard is but we quite literally hear about shit like this practically every day

>>105665090 (OP)
how is that a checkmate
>>105665114
this desu

>>105665090 (OP)
>Checkmate
How? I don't get it, I think you didn't get it.

>>105665090 (OP)

In order to open the backdoor you need the secret backdoor key. Now the question is how capable the three letters are of keeping those keys secret. The most likely risk is an insider using them for their own purposes or even selling access.
