Help Stylo 2 infection

Dbowen34

Newbie
My phone has been hijacked by the authorities and I just want it to perform as intended. Use it as i would like.
Anyone want to take a chance and help.
 
Well Mikedt that is the question

I'm going to say with confidence all but one of those are ruled out. However the program or at least a version of it belongs to one of the other on your list. Rest assured nothing escapes them and your correspondence will not go unnoticed.
That being said they know I know and I know they know. It began March 2017and its been festering. I'll have to get back to you on this. But rest assured I will.
 
I forgot to mention, this is not going to go over well and i have also chosen other avenues that have been put into play.
 
To secure your device if it has malicious software installed (including spyware) you first have to secure your Google account. To do that you must enable two-step verification and then change the password. Now assuming you do have spyware that will alert whichever agency you can't mention that the password has been changed, you need to quickly remove all accounts from the phone - especially your Google account -- and then perform a factory reset without restoring any backups. Once you log back into your Google account on the reset phone, change the password a second time.

If the malware was installed in the system partition, then you must reflash the firmware from a clean copy or install a custom rom that you know is safe.

I would point out that most people who think their phone is hacked actually have a compromised gmail account that someone is using to access your device and most of the time securing your account solves the problem.
 
Thanks for responding,
When this began i thought I've seen this i have some ideas. I even watch tv.
Do you know those things you read about or you see a video and you say that's not possible.
I have been enlightened and i dont just dismiss those things anymore. I'm going to say i was surprised to find out that I had a feeling i couldn't shake a sense that was off. I think we all have those and more often than not we forget them well i didnt this time. This conversation will be lets say lengthy and very involved.
I don't know how long it will last. There has to be an endgame on their behalf. Im only doing this now because its really reaching every aspect of my life. I've been backed into a corner and it's very uncomfortable.
 
I do know how I became involved or lets say i think I do. Which is questionable these days. I know everything i put out there has repercussions of some sort. I didn't hide my identity. I posted a name of mine that is know to them and easily traced by all.
I am such a lousy i t guy and that's what i need.
 
Well as you can see I'm having difficulty posting here or doing anything tech related.
I gave apace for what seemed like a lifetime. I won't continue this way.

Yes. I am using your platform as a way to impress upon parties involved, to do one of two things. step up or step out once and for all.
I apologize but don't. Sad but so very true. Right place wrong time. Can happen to anyone I pushed because for some dumb reason i cant stand to let someone think they are pulling something over on me.

I hope you follow this because I'm just a guy that deserves his privacy and this is what I'm getting. My phone, my tv, my bluray player, my soundbar (really). And my Bluetooth oh yes my Bluetooth.

Its funny now i kept saying to those that weren't there. This day would come.

Understand this, im the only one speaking out its confusing what to do. Most just said statis quo. Keep on with the life they have been given or play the cards that crooked Dealer dealt.

I'm not really sure what the problem is. You don't even say any reason why you even think that your phone is hijacked apart from you read that the authorities can hijack your phone.

And for the record, authorities don't even need to hijack your phone to know your activities. They can go direct to your carrier and there's nothing you can do about that.
 
Also, the fear that some guy at the FBI/CIA is actually watching you,a random person is totally unfounded and impossible. For one thing considering that the US alone has a population of 350 million, how will they individually watch all of those people? Even if we take away 150 million to account for kids so they only need to watch 200million, no intelligence agency has the manpower to do what you think they do. They don't have big warehouses where each agent is assigned 1-10 humans to monitor 24/7. Because one human can't physically do that. In an ICU setting it takes 3 nurses to monitor a patient through 24hrs. In that same sense, to achieve the level of surveillance people seem to think happens, you need 2-3 agents to monitor every single person. Do you think the CIA has like employees that number in the billions to watch over the entire US population like tin foil hat people says?

Sure they may have electronic keyword monitoring systems, but that's a far cry from the stuff you fear about.

It's more important to be wary about actual data leak issues rather than the off chance that your porno search tagged you as a person of interest for the CIA.
 
I would take the time to read your response but why.
Try and discredit me because that plays well in my favor.
I am open and honest. I posted a name that could easily be tracked back to me.
Funny thing is you just made a mistake and honestly I didn't think you would.
 
Its not an infection its a fricken blaten invasion of privacy.

I say feds because i know if nothing less they are involved. And because I know. There's a tremendous amount of money being spent on this.
Do you know whos paying it? Really do you know? Its obviously not you.
My parents are gone thank God because I couldn't begin to imagine how to try and justify they're hard earned money being spent.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HARD EARNED EVEN MEANS???

Im going to stop now i have already given to much time to someone that doesn't know sh*t
 
I do know that the Gov is on us more than should be. In Fact, WE ALL have reasons to worry. Not 'Just cuz I KNOW..'. We are simply asking for a few reasons you think this is happening so we are able to separate you from a person with mental issues who could be getting spooked by a software bug, and also provide a few more details on which avenues to approach for help instead of giving useless suggestions that would only make you angry. Help us help you..

You are right and I will do my best to clarify this in the morning.
Thanks for your time. It is truly appreciated.

And sometimes self distruct doesn't sound so bad.
 
Your mission, Agent Dbowen34, if you wish to accept it, will self destruct in 30 seconds.
This is something bigger than a mear android forum can possibly help you with.
I wish you luck.

You Dannydet are absolutely right.

I am the father of a person that has associated with what I will say are apparently within a so called group that are under some sort of investigation.
I did not ask to be involved but apparently they have the right to inject anyone they like into their scope of the investigation.
Thats today's world. Im not happy with that. Its not right that my smart devices that i paid for are turned on me as surveillance devices. I can't use them as i wish. I can't use them in the manner in which the manufacturer had intended and stated through all of their advertising and claims that I would receive. Its not fair i cant update my systems its not fair when I try and research on one of these devices that I'm redirected to their desire. It just plain bullshit when I pay 150 a month for cable and wireless that has malware pre installed by our and i say our knowing that its not our government. I have spent in time alone thousands of hours trying to just say. Get Out of my life.
Im pissed yea that's the nicest way of putting it. They have made sure i can't forget it.
I can't see their endgame and I'm relatively sure that point has come and gone.
My mistake in all this is one thing. I know when something is off or just not right and i dont let go. Its. Obviously not the best part of me. But its me and i cant change that.
 
I can and am going to say this.
Some time ago i did access a file that belonged to a website. The website i descovered was a training department of the nsa having to do with a program called pupy.
 
This?
https://github.com/n1nj4sec/pupy

Pupy is an opensource, cross-platform (Windows, Linux, OSX, Android), multi function RAT (Remote Administration Tool) and post-exploitation tool mainly written in python. It features a all-in-memory execution guideline and leaves very low footprint. Pupy can communicate using various transports, migrate into processes (reflective injection), load remote python code, python packages and python C-extensions from memory.
Pupy modules can transparently access remote python objects using rpyc to perform various interactive tasks.
Pupy can generate payloads in multiple formats like PE executables, reflective DLLs, pure python files, powershell, apk, ... When you package a payload, you can choose a launcher (connect, bind, ...), a transport (ssl, http, rsa, obfs3, scramblesuit, ...) and a number of 'scriptlets'. Scriptlets are python scripts meant to be embedded to perform various tasks offline (without requiring a session), like starting a background script, adding persistence, starting a keylogger, detecting a sandbox, ...


That's why. You made yourself a person of interest, probably on some kind an unofficial or official BlackHat watchlist.. If doing that is related to your legal situation/involvement, you probably made them very curious. Pupy is their new one, the older ones had friggin Pokemon names. ;) Can't lie, cheat, steal, or be nosy - the Gov't hates competition! Lol. Double standard all around with them, especially when they claim ' just cause ' or 'matters of security' My advice? Really:
- Shut down phone/cable/internet/email accounts and manually replace all data capable electronics before making new accounts.. Switch companies/carriers if possible.
- the phone especially: new account, new emails, new phone number, new sdcard, everything.
- Do NOT reuse or copy/reinstall ANY memory cards, pics, videos, PC hard drives, ANYTHING! Treat it like you just got a whole new identity in a new world.. New everything.. Otherwise, you're stuck without a chance or just try to ride it out until they get over themselves and leave ya alone.. But I think my 1st suggestion will bring relief faster
