It was very pleasant to hear a such great, informative, useful and impassioned conference presentation!
You ARE really professional Naomi! I loved to hear every minutes!👌

[jimcabezola]

Your lecturing style is ALSO superlative! Hopefully, we'll see more of these...if you're so inclined...in future.

I love people who talk clearly, concisely and FAST! Slow talkers annoy me. So much awesome information delivered! I just need to put these into action and find a VoIP provider.

Nailed it.
When service X doesn't know what address you gave service Y, not only can they not correlate your activity with each other easily, but it's really hard for an attacker to impersonate Y without the address you used there. So as a nice bonus, it can reduce the likelyhood of phishing.

These people were so lucky to have you as a guest ❤
Very informative and entertaining as always!
Have a great week Naomi 🔥🚀

This is a GREAT talk.

Re: companies don't like VOIP numbers
People at these companies also like privacy, but the issue is spammers and hackers who make it impossible to properly ban them because there is no way to prevent their new email, IP, and etc. from signing up. The only way to stop them enough to let automated systems deal with them is to impose costs for getting banned. E.g. you need new numbers, new IP addresses, and etc.

I really want to +1 the idea of using a prepaid to do the sign ups and then transferring to a VOIP. That's a really cool trick.

On the cell tower tracking, in one of my classes years ago how each hands you off from tower to tower typically you are in contact with 3 towers all the time, one is primary and the other 2 are determined based on the direction/speed you are going. As you are starting the move through the range of the cell the tower will be in communication with the next towers it predicts you will need to be needed to hand off to. Lets say you are subscriber XX on Tower 1. The tower will predict you are heading NW at 72 mph and by a certain time will see that your signal strength will be getting weaker and you'll be handed off to Tower 2. But you will also be given 2 or more towers that you will also be monitored by. There are some differences, some the mobile device will determine the towers to hand off to (IIRC GSM based) and the tower will make the direction to the new towers (CDMA based). Now with LTE and 5G NR this likely has changed some.

Something to note, when you turn off a device the device sends a message to the network saying "Hey I'm powering off here, remember I was here", and the tower EXPECTS you to come back up to the same tower. I can't remember the name of the message there. I have some digging to do.

And another note, if the device has no SIM, E911 services are STILL ALIVE. The device still could have an attachment to a LTE/5G NR tower. When you dial 911 it connects immediately, it can't do that without being attached to a cell tower.

A great contact on learning how the towers and mobile devices communicate is Dr. Ernest Simo. He used to teach this is great detail.

SimpleLogin with reverse aliases is awesome.

[fromagperspective]

Wow I could dig listening to you all day...

[mt.zion]

Love this lady, she absolutely awesome.

[MakeitZUPER]

I love your presentations but very new to your platform. I'm very shocked that you did this in my state. That's something that I never would've expected being so rural. I'm just digging into pfSense and firewall protection since I want to keep Amazon and the rest from tracking me as well as running an ad blocker all incorporated with a VPN and VLAN. I hope you find great success while sharing your wealth of knowledge with the rest of us. Thank you so very much for all you do.

Naomi and TheHatedOne are the best! Thank you for your effort trying to wake people up!

[dreadwicked]

Brilliant presentation, Naomi. We need to make this common knowledge. Thank you for your great work.
