Just had a thought... why is Ron leading us to being able to boot over the network? Most modern computers can do that, actually, if turned on and a central server is there to allow it to do so.
He mentioned something about PCAPs last week, and (to me anyway) sounded like he wanted to discredit them. Then he acted like he had new info. The whistleblower?
Anyway, that leads me to I wonder if the PCAPs are actually the PXE boots (among other things of course), thus providing these booted over the network on election day and/or were using VDI or something similar.
This also leads to questionable encryption... which means the PCAPs may show a lot more data than anyone is thinking they will show.
(My background: I'm technical, but personally haven't used PXE in years nor have I used VDI. I do know and understand the fundamentals of how each work, but not sure on the encryption employed, if any, at each layer. I know what PCAPs are. The only other thing I'm not sure is how much data each uses, so the data Lindell has may be way less than actual data that would be used for such things, meaning this hypothesis may be incorrect.)
Simple terms are...
PXE – booting over the network. VDI – basically booting into a virtual desktop that can be run anywhere (may be what Cloud Desktop is that was shown?) PCAPs – packet captures. Shows the physical data that was transferred over a network interface.
