A Saudi Arabia Telecom’s Surveillance Pitch

Last week I was contacted by an agent of
Mobily, one of two telecoms operating in
Saudi Arabia, about a surveillance project that they’re working on in that country.
Having published two reasonably popular MITM tools,
it’s not uncommon for me to get emails requesting that I help people with their
interception projects. I typically don’t respond, but this one (an email titled
“Solution for monitoring encrypted data on telecom”) caught my eye.
