When it comes to open source software, the corporates funded with state money who want to find vulnerabilities in your software for their advantage are often far more qualified, resourceful and committed to their objectives than the limited project developers are. You must be more cautious about having both a secure design and a secure implementation of the design of your software at the earliest possible stage of software development. This increases the time and effort to discover a vulnerability or can close out entire classes of vulnerabilities. We have seen how massive projects are weighted down from development standards of the late 90s and 00s that makes them have thousands of CVEs every release. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Kernel-CVEs-Nearly-2000 Check out some of the open-source AI tooling from Cellebrite to improve their workflows and automate in researching mobile device vulnerabilities. You can have opinions on the issues of LLMs (and I have several), but that comes with having to accept an adversary is accelerating how to harm you with that technology. View quoted note →
The overhauled #GrapheneOS Messaging app is available in our App Store via the Alpha channel. Our new app development team worked on this for months. It's now a far better app with much higher quality code. We'll make a new release based on feedback soon. We're going to be overhauling or replacing most AOSP apps in the near future: Calculator, Clock, Contacts, Gallery, Keyboard and Phone. The apps we created will be overhauled too. PDF Viewer is done and Camera is next. Camera and PDF Viewer will be getting many new features too. It's a massive overhaul and may need a few releases to reach the Stable channel. We're working on a version 14 release fixing issues with the predictive back animation, tapping contacts not always showing the right SIM with dual SIM and some outdated icons/colors we missed. Messaging will be overhauled even more. We plan to add RCS support with Messaging Layer Security (MLS). That will provide E2EE with contacts using Google Messages or iOS. RCS with MLS can already be used on GrapheneOS via Google Messages but we want to avoid people needing it. View quoted note →
