Government/FBI hacked my MacBook Pro

17 points by codeninjajosh ↗ HN
The FBI hacked my MacBook with a firmware loader that I couldn't use chipsec to remove it because the firmware wasn't available to download to make a whitelist they used hacked exploited versions of dmproxy and windowserver. Use 4 shadow to detect intrusion.

Where is your proof? More importantly, why would the FBI want to hack your MacBook Pro in the first place? If that's the case, they know you posted this and they'll just have to find another way to spy on you.

I'll post screen shots tomorrow

Another important note is they used a dns tunnel.

I'm certain this is breaking rules, do a write-up and re-post tomorrow with proof under a new account (you'll likely be flagged for a dupe if under the same one).

I have a new account because hacking and cyber security are new to me. I been in it and a programmer for 17 years so traditional methods of intrusion detection didn't work because I must of been rooted. I came here for help in fixing the problem.

Because I made a website for a dangerous person unknowingly and sold perfectly legal products online for years. Then it turns out the guy was in the mafia he got popped for drug trafficking and for 2 years after that I been followed and harassed by the Feds. Multi agency task force busted him. For my own safety I can't say anything else on it.

quite improbable, unless you are a high target, which is doubtful.

Why not? there are so many people out there buying/selling child or necrophilia pornography in the darknet. I hope they get caught by the police.

But, please I'm not saying that @codeninjajosh is on target because of that.

What makes you think it's a state actor and not regular malware, or even just a bug?

I once got pretty noided by my hard drive reporting to be empty once, thought I encountered a cryptolocker in progress. Proceeded to hard shut-down the PC and forensically inspect my HDD, turns out the HDD's USB firmware was starting to fail but my data was fine.

Do you have a CO detector in your living space and is it working? Do you have any reason to doubt your judgement here? Your theory seems far-fetched to me and the way you mention details raise my paranoia/mental illness/troll alarm.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? The notices started to go away I used express vpn only with option allow access to local devices unchecked. So this tells me they attacking me from a point on the local network and they are able to get past the nat on my personal firewall from hacker warehouse using open wrt
