For the last two years I've carried a honeypot laptop with me every time I traveled. I checked it in my luggage, left it unattended in my hotel rooms. After each trip, I did forensic analysis on the laptop to detect if it had been tampered with.
I wrote about my experience and methodology here: https://theintercept.com/2018/04/28/computer-malware-tampering/
@micahflee @qbi very interesting read, thank you. the android tool "haven" will likely be illegal in germany, though.
@jotbe @micahflee Why do you think it will be illegal?
@qbi @jotbe @micahflee here is an article by the lawyer of german publisher heise about "haven": https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Snowden-App-Haven-Einsatz-kaum-mit-deutschem-Recht-vereinbar-3948210.html (de) - concluding that it will likely be illegal to covertly record voice audio of someone, privacy laws set high bars and in general prohibit video surveillance in non-public places without any visible notification that this happens. not sure whether it would be ok with a visible sign denoting "video surveillance in progress".
@jotbe @micahflee Thanks.
