Hey @LowLevelTweets, cool video on the WiFi repeater vulnerabilities (youtube.com/live/KsiuA5gOl…), but those are my CVEs. I published the full research and exploit chain here: chocapikk.com/posts/2025/whe… Would have appreciated a credit. 1M views is a lot of visibility on someone else's work.

@it4sec Jadx ftw

Anyone interested in checking a potentially Iranian APK that masks itself as "Red Alert" and sent as SMS campaign? :) Sample: virustotal.com/gui/file/83651…

A senator talking about Kerberoasting was not on my bingo card!

a podcast on bitchat

@XirtamEsrevni yes

@cemaxecuter @marksoares @jack the bitchat fleet

@shilohsecurity @marksoares @jack I’ve got two more drones for a total of four, just sayin’ the extenders on the two middle ones with Bitchat on the outer two.

Took a bit of effort but Bitle v.01 is operational; Bitle is a self powered, standalone ESP32-based mesh relay node for @jack's bitchat, a decentralized messaging protocol; it can operate indefinitely on solar, or ~25-50 days on the battery; the case is weatherproof and meant to be installed in adverse conditions. It should extend the range of bluetooth outdoors anywhere from 300-500ft. Bitle implements the bitchat binary protocol over Bluetooth LE, establishing GATT server connections with bitchat devices and acts as an intermediate node to extend the mesh network range. Bitle handles noise protocol handshakes for secure communication, processes encrypted user messages, and forwards them through the mesh network. It's designed as a professional mesh relay that enhances bitchat's decentralized architecture by providing additional routing nodes without requiring user interaction or appearing as a peer in the messaging interface. I envisioned its utility as a ground node for remote areas, like hiking trails, camping grounds etc (hence the name Bitle - "Biddle" or "beetle") where signal may be weak and communication critical. Most importantly, although signal/wifi may be abundant, bitchat isn't really about being a failsafe to online comms - it's about choosing to communicate without centralized infrastructure; peer to peer - a device like Bitle seems instrumental to this. It should be possible to make a grid of these quite cheaply and establish an ambient mesh network that anyone can communicate through while being offline. The bulk of the size of the device is in the battery/solar/case/power board - it would be significantly smaller if it was built into a lightbulb or any plug-in device.

We've been tracking Bitchat since Day 1 and watching the open source community rally around this has been absolutely incredible. In 72 hours: - @callebtc ported it to Android - @shilohsecurity built bitchat-terminal in Rust - Full cross-platform compatibility achieved - @CashuBTC integration for offline Bitcoin payments This is what happens when you release permissionless tech into the wild. No gatekeepers, no approval processes, just pure collaborative innovation. Mesh networks + end-to-end encryption + offline payments = the future of sovereign communication @jack @callebtc @shilohsecurity @lopp @androidmalware2 @kaganisildak @thomasjeans @coinjoined

@xoryouyou @jack @callebtc @ratatui_rs awesome, I used the tui on my newest release maybe I’ll see what I can grab from this project for influence. Looks like they used a lot of the code from my project. #hacktheplanet

@shilohsecurity @jack @callebtc @ratatui_rs Someone actually did it github.com/vaibhav-mattoo…

bitchat-terminal written in rust & compatible with ios/android. out now @jack ➟ original / ios @callebtc ➟ android bitchat-terminal github: github.com/ShilohEye/bitc…

big updates coming to bitchat terminal. balancing work & open source, but expect some seriously cool stuff soon…

ohhh no.. 🫨 I accidentaly adding feature connect over "bluetooth serial" to LoRa (433 MHz) Secure Chat, and it work's perfectly 🤌🏼 #LoRa #IoTSecurity #AES #DiffieHellman #Encryption #WirelessTesting #bluetooth #EmergencyComm #SecureCommunication #UHF

@callebtc can I send you extra encryption I added while waiting for white noise rollout Current MiTM attacks possible to intercept messages

sending bitcoin over bluetooth between bitchat android and iphone. both have a native cashu ecash wallet built in. the ecash travels directly from phone to phone. the sender needs no internet. like instant and untraceable digital cash. work in progress. it's going to be insane.

@octacons So exciting lz4 compression might be the move

Testing LoRa secure chat performance using Diffie-Hellman key exchange and AES encryption. Evaluated on 125 kHz and 500 kHz bandwidths to observe impact on encryption latency and data reliability. #LoRa #IoTSecurity #AES #DiffieHellman #Encryption #WirelessTesting

Everyone flexing bitchat on their phones—meanwhile, I’m over here working out mesh-networking drones midair. github.com/ShilohEye/bitc…

@VelasCommerce @kaganisildak @jack @callebtc thanks :) from bitchat.free

@kaganisildak @jack @callebtc @shilohsecurity wow great ascii art 🤓

bitchat-python written in python & compatible with ios/android. out now @jack ➟ original / ios @callebtc ➟ android @shilohsecurity ➟ rust bitchat-python github: github.com/kaganisildak/b…

@somethymein2140 @callebtc talking to friends in the techno world for this implementation at parties (especially parties that are coordinated privately) unrelated but also working on first responder version setup with proper channels for clean communication in emergency situations 🤙

@callebtc make BitChat a festivals messaging app (where cell service are shit but its a bluetooth galore) 🙏
