The Problem with Mobile Phones

Best practice here is using a WiFi-only device with a separate cell modem. So you have hardware baseband isolation. See <https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-impossible-hardenin....

Then you run into problems with WiFi such as it broadcasting all your preferred networks/tracking, and the sad state of proprietary WiFi drivers.

Blackphone uses Kismet WiFi Manager to prevent MAC broadcasting and other issues https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kismetwire...

That's true. But at least it's legal to spoof MAC.

My 2nd ever comment on HN asked them to fix this. Still broken, almost 3 years later :)
