An iOS zero-click radio proximity exploit odyssey

There's a market for exploits that pays pretty well. Someone is throwing millions of dollars at them, and from what we can glean from investigations, leaks and whistle blowers, it's states that are buying them. One company in that space made world-wide news[1] by selling to governments.

Also a good idea to DDG Phineas Phisher. You should turn up an interesting read on pastebin iirc.

Edit: found it on exploit-db

First time I've seen "DDG", well done.

Thanks! I realized a while ago that I don't use google, so why should I recommend it to others, even in passing.

OK. But you should have said Bing

The user interface I use and recommend to others is Duck Duck Go. Why would I recommend using Bing directly?

Because that is the engine, the cosmetic is irrelevant. Unless you are choosing for the interface but that is not the concern of 99% of the people. We need a real independent searcher

I use DDG for the fact that it provides a privacy layer over Bing.

There are of corse Yacy and other more independent options, but they aren't ready for most people.
