So North Korea apparently has an android phone with basically a rootkit on it, that doesn’t allow you to open anything not signed by it on it, takes screenshots periodically and stuff.

Now assume you just wanna get around this, and have tools available, how do you do it?

Would you need to solder a new memory there? Could you try some sort of exploit first?

      This is good to know.

      Is that to say they run copy cat versions of major services on a national intranet (so as to make it appear comparable to the real internet)?

        if you watch closely, they rip logos from big western companies to use as their app icons on their custom Android ROM

        I suspect they don’t mask the fact the net is air gapped. So $randomWesternService is simply not available.
