[Galaxy Note 3 General] Absolon:
Hello,

I'm involved in trying to collect information regarding Knox, the illegal destruction of private property and possibility to run unknown code and I badly

looking certain configurations to get more answers.

If someone has root, not tripped Knox and preferably SELinux set to "Enforcing", please send me a message! Your help is needed!

I was too late. The "Rules update #16" that blocked "Root de la Vega" was pushed to my phone against my will. Other got it as well.

That means they already have some form of control and disregard your configuration. What can they do more?

With an SELinux they can control your device as they wish if they configure it to hide processes that run, as of today, unknown code.

I'm an "BOFH Unix kick ass consultant" by trade. ;) I know how nicely you can do this. "Living in a box". Oh yes.

This is about our future, the right for privacy and the right to do what we want with out own private property!

The extreme measures taken against just obtaining root are disproportionately harsh. If they succeed, others will follow.

We might end up with iNdroid in a few years. I want to prevent that. But we need more knowledge. They destroy evidence if you trip Knox.

Rooting is not illegal, but the active action of destroying someones property with indent is, whatever cause, warranty claims or not.

There will be consequences. But we need more information, and you who have a Note 3, just as me, can help.

The key can be your phone.

Knox is not "just a flag". It have attached code. It sabotages your system both software and hardware. Scrambled software. Wifi permanently

damaged, to name a few. I know, from my S4, and have it verified from source. But that code is run once and then gone. Are there more E-fuses?

Dumping hardware has made at least one device totally bricked. Not even the Power button worked. It was stone-dead.

Also:

If someone has a way of obtaining it without tripping Knox please contact me. I'm willing to take the risk of tripping Knox since this is more important then

some warranty.

I've been working in this for two months now and the more I learn the more I start to question if this isn't a bad movie with Kevin Costner...

No opt-out. Enforcement of this "Enterprise" solution. On your private phone? Think! The money this must cost? You want a return of investment!

Rooted phones cost that much? I don't buy that. You have an unique certificate that binds YOU to your phone. You and your phone are bound as one.

What if 3rd-party malicious code get hands of that? Viruses exist, even on Play. But your Antivirus can't run because it can't access the parts it must have

higher right to read check your programs. I rather run a firewall and deny permissions of programs that want way too much.

A "file manager" doesn't need to read your contacts. A game doesn't need to use your camera. But you can't prevent that.

Knox prevents that. Because you can place a document in a container... I rather use my freeware AES-program that encrypt documents on the fly.

Until we know more the device should be considered as not safe. Why is Samsung stonewalling the question so many have asked?

"What is the extent of the damage made?". I think we have the right to now that, don't you? Many has tried. "Heavy damage" is so far the best we got.

So please, if you still have root and not a crippled device, please contact me. Your help is the only way I see is possible right now.

All the best,

Abs (Yes, I need to update my tag, since I have so much new)
