The spyware Pegasus, developed by the Israeli NSO Group, was originally promoted as a tool to combat terrorism and organized crime. In reality, however, it has often been used against individuals who have committed no crimes:

• Journalists
• Human rights activists
• Opposition members and whistleblowers

For many of them, Pegasus has meant not protection but intimidation, persecution, and surveillance. Even Swiss authorities have reportedly used Pegasus, as highlighted in a report by the NZZ.

In this article, we will show you how even non-experts can use the open source software MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) to check whether an iPhone has been compromised.

autumo beetRoot is a rapid Java web development and a complete and secure client-server framework that is ready to use, starts in less than a second and gives you a working initial setup for the current version, a transparent and clear way to configure the framework and its components, and the freedom to choose any web container or just use the optimized and embedded web container from the start. However, none of this stops you from customizing the pom.xml file and extend beetRoot as you wish.

If you know CakePHP for web development, you will like beetRoot. It is based on the same principles and has a full CRUD generator that generates all views, the model specification and controllers (handlers in beetRoot's terminology) based on the database model! The client-server framework supports encrypted communication (SSL) as well as HTTP/HTTPS tunneling, provides an interface for downloading and uploading files and can be extended with your own (distributed) modules.
