T-mobile wingman/Managed wifi settings on iPhone
Why do I have two managed wifi settings on my IPhone? When I remove the SIM card they disappear. There is no way to delete them nor forget network.Every time Ireset network settings they reset to auto-connect? I have extracted the script of one of the managed settings and its concerning it contains the verbiage to bypass MAC randomization, create a captive portal, and hide it from me the user?
Is T-Mobile blocking links via SMS? If so, why and how can I add permissions? (E.g., Mavely and Amzn.to links specifically.)
When I try to share good deals and savings links to my friends or family via text, the links from Mavely (mavely.app.link) and Amazon Associate shortened (amzn.to)links are being blocked. The links are not received by iPhone and Android users from testing. The only workaround solution I have is to send the links in Snapchat or WhatsApp. Note: I am using an S20+ device with Google Messages as my primary app. I just used Samsung Messages (stock app) and the link still is not received by the end user. Also, I deleted Spam Shield to see if that for some reason was the issue, which it clearly is not. WHAT GIVES?!
How secure is T-mobile's service? Is it encrypted?
How secure is T-mobile's service? Is packet sniffing or a man in the middle attack possible on the T-mobile network? I know that most ISPs have a good idea of what a user does on their network. You can typically just use a VPN to enable more anonymity online. But from the signal between a device and the cell tower i'm guessing there can be multiple security issues. Lets say I login to my T-mobile account or bank account. And someone has set up a repeater or fake signal that my phone connects to thinking its the T-mobile service. Would that person be able to see the data being transferred over the network. Or is the signal my phone sends out encrypted not allowing for this to happen. Devices like the 4G LTE Cellspot connects to a customers own router and allows them to broadcast a T-mobile signal using their home internet. Are people that own this device able to see data and traffic from my phone? They could possible configure their router maliciously to look at all traffic coming from a 4G LTE Cellspot device with unsuspecting T-mobile customer connecting to it thinking its connected directly to a cell tower. Another way this device can be abused is the person can limit their bandwidth to the device to unusable speeds but all phones around it will still connect to it because its the strongest T-mobile signal. This would degrade the service and make the T-mobile service around that device practically unusable. I swear I'm not paranoid. Just a student studying security and these questions came to mind. Gracias.
