With older all symmetric key SIM cards with all symmetric key establishment you could use it to tap into that. On newer devices, the modem chip and the OS handles the connection and the SIM card uses asymmetric algorithms to identify the user’s device to the carrier and you can’t use it to derive call session keys after the fact.

The card can do other things, but it’s rare for it to actually implement anything but simple protocols to tell the phone how to identify the carrier and how to authenticate against it. In some countries you can use the SIM for payments, etc

The eSIM uses the TPM / SE chip and the physical SIM uses smartcards running Java applets. The SIM type smart cards generally make use of tamper resistant circuits and are set to not allow key extraction, similar to the TPM.

It’s not undefeatable, but both require really expensive hardware and you can only target devices you physically have in your hand so it’s not worth the investment. If you’re law enforcement you don’t even care about unlocking the SIM, you’re just going to the carrier directly instead. If you’re not using that equipment for stealing hardware wallets from rich cryptocurrency owners, you don’t have a chance of return of investment. Also it will fail a lot (destroy the chip)

In most games he has a whole bunch of items which clearly are stored somewhere. Fanny pack of holding?

Family secret

Number stations are different these days

The cat you hid away in your bag gets startled and scratches you. Why haven’t you learned not to do that yet? You got scratched last month doing the same thing.

You put the cat back in the bag and take it with you.

Leave right away or tend to the wounds?

They start screaming very loudly. You stagger away from the door and it’s gonna take a minute to hear normally again.

You brought a bag earlier. Look in it?

… That you know of

Your guilt stops you from going through with it, especially because of the neighbor’s dog which you dogsit occasionally. Who else buys it those fancy treats? (actually 5 more people in the building, but you don’t know that)

You hear a conversation outside the door, do you listen in?

Hey, I didn’t say you got infected, you don’t know if it might be vials until you ask

You find three new diseases.

There’s a hard to reach window. Do you want to try to exit through it?

Not with that attitude

There’s a reason why home battery storage systems needs to be connected to the breaker panel. You route power through it. When the batteries aren’t needed then it’s just a dumb relay for grid power. When you’re drawing power from batteries it disconnects the grid.

Only a few industries ever draw power both from grid and local power sources at once (during peak load) and they route all the power sources through a power distribution system which prevents backfeeding.

No it’s needs plumbing

Common to see big businesses with multiple locations using P2P VPN binding together all sites like one big LAN. Perhaps not ideal from a security standpoint to have the client network so flat, but eh 🤷

Usually a handful of extra important servers are behind an extra layer of firewall rules and/or on a different VLAN with limits on what devices can connect to them.

Unless your device has exposed vulnerabilities over the local network

Always do transparent tunneling with selective MITM, lol

(not gonna help script kiddies any more than this either, lol)

Also if you bring one onto a real network to pwn it you’re probably deliberately not replacing it’s DHCP server so you don’t break static IP assignments (but you might fake the routes so traffic goes through you anyway with ARP spoofing, etc)

This is now a safe zone
