Thank you for the work you all (Jaclaz / Althulin / Rolf Guttman / et al) perform protecting us citizens. I sincerely mean that.
Well, speaking for myself, all I ever protected[1] (or at least tried to protect) were clarity and "common sense" 8) (the latter being peculiarly uncommon), essentially by being grumpy and picky.
Now, as an example, comparing the contents of this post by RolfGutmann

If we disconnect the device leaving just the cable connected to the PC the LPS sends an AES-128 string out to an IPv4 geolookuped residing in P.R.C. The delay time is between 158 sec and 203 minutes but seems to be initiated from outside.

Hi…i am a new user here. As per my knowledge If we disconnect the device leaving just the cable connected to the PC the LPS sends an AES-128 string out to an IPv4 geolookuped residing in P.R.C. The delay time is between 158 sec and 203 minutes but seems to be initiated from outside.
I can see a pattern.
Plagiarism? 😯
A bot testing the board? ?
Something else? ?

[1] but it would be interesting to know where/how you got the idea that I was ever involved in protecting citizens
I assume multiple members of the forum are in LE or the military and thus de facto are risking their lives and well being for the benefit of citizens of their respective countries for far too little pay.
I also assume, based upon 100% pure speculation on my part, that some members of the forum are participating here under nom de plumes to protect their own identities and perhaps actual lives.
So research on identifying spying and theft such as Mr. Guttman is performing seems to benefit normal citizens.

Well, in my personal case, you are assuming too much, JFYI

As a side note (and again, not being in any way connected to LE or the military) I personally doubt (with all due respect of course) that a large part of LE involved in digital forensics are actually literally risking their lives (as an ordinary policeman on patrol or a trooper in war time happens to do).
About the well being, it is different, I think that each and every good LE or similar dealing with IIOC or with homicides, violent crimes and similar pay a serious toll and we all should be thankful to them for this.
