Thread on the missing 100 Kgs gold from CBI
In an unusual order, perhaps for the first time in history, the Madras HC has ordered a state Crime Branch CID probe into 100 Kgs of gold which went missing from the custody of CBI. 1/n

This author regularly covered the hearings in the Madras HC regarding Surana’s gold and wrote scathing pieces, indirectly indicating that both these judges have been compromised by Surana. 7/n

What’s a bit amazing is this hate crime took place in December of 2018 and the 4 defendants were indicted nearly two year on the nose. Because the Defendants were indicted for a hate crime.
That’s a force multiplier or at a minimum an enhancement of 10 years (addition to)
At first glance you wouldn’t think this had anything to do with White Supremacy -read page 4-
Dorson falsely claimed that he had not planned to attend a white supremacist’s “Martyr’s Day” observance in the state of WA
he had not owned a “flight jacket“

My students @maxzks and Tushar Jois spent most of the summer going through every piece of public documentation, forensics report, and legal document we could find to figure out how police were “breaking phone encryption”. 1/
This was prompted by a claim from someone knowledgeable, who claimed that forensics companies no longer had the ability to break the Apple Secure Enclave Processor, which would make it very hard to crack the password of a locked, recent iPhone. 2/
We wrote an enormous report about what we found, which we’ll release after the holidays. The TL;DR is kind of depressing:
Authorities don’t need to break phone encryption in most cases, because modern phone encryption sort of sucks. 3/
I’ll focus on Apple here but Android is very similar. The top-level is that, to break encryption on an Apple phone you need to get the encryption keys. Since these are derived from the user’s passcode, you either need to guess that — or you need the user to have entered it. 4/
Guessing the password is hard on recent iPhones because there’s (at most) a 10-guess limit enforced by the Secure Enclave Processor (SEP). There’s good evidence that at one point in 2018 a company called GrayKey had a SEP exploit that did this for the X. See photo. 5/
