Hi Pine !
I bought a pinephone but before installing it I would like to know what informations are leaked by powering it up and installing an OS on it (I'd like to try all the ones available), and to whom.
And ideally of course, how to avoid to leak anything.
If I understand correctly, if I set the physical kill switches to "cut" then nothing should be leaked.
Is that actually and entirely true ?
Is there a way to access the Net somehow in this situation (via some cable then I guess) ?
Once I'm done installing and I spoofed the MAC address, what would be leaked if I switch the Wifi on ?
If I put a SIM car on it, what will be leaked ? The IMEI number of the phone, the number associated with the SIM card, and the location of the SIM card I guess; anything else ?
How to spoof all these ? At least the IMEI number ? Or to prevent them from being leaked ?
