Iphone hacked, how?

I found a few places and it is costly. I was hoping to find a basic network monitoring tool such as Winshark that is specific for iphones. I understand that in the effort to keep things secure such a thing could be potentially dangerous to have widely available.

I agree that this would be a costly exploit. It does not make sense to me either. I am a normal person and usually these things are reserved for very high profile targets. Individuals who are worth the millions that could be gained from turning an exploit like this in. The person doing this definitely does not have the expertise in making this nor the money nor the contacts to buy this. I have only speculated as to how this may have been obtained. No way at all to verify this.

My evidence is mostly empirical and I have not really gone into details here intentionally. To save time and not really being comfortable with it. Maybe it was taken out of a lab somehow and that is why it cannot be turned in? All out there sort of things that I have no way to currently verify.

It is a crime and I of course have considered the police. The thing is exactly what you are saying, it would cost resources and a local police force may be unequipped and or inexperienced in handling this sort of case. Considering the nature of the exploit it would be a very significant one. It truly is hard for me to believe that this is happening as well because it is hard to rationalize that all the crazy stuff that would have to happen to make this a reality. I think if i did go into detail it would sound rational and I could articulate it well. I also believe I could demonstrate I am not delusional. For example one of the things that has happened a couple months ago was that I confronted the person and they directly referenced a when I had a couple days prior tried to rationalize how insane this all seemed. They also directly referenced other things I said. This sort of thing has happened consistently time and time again. I do not believe I could hallucinate all of this and I would be willing to talk via web cam to someone who might know how to help in order to prove that I am not a crazy paranoid drug addict.

That is a weak excuse for not reporting a crime you claim you know is occurring. Who better to deal with such an issue than a criminal forensic investigative force? If your local police our out of their element with it, they have an abundance of state and federal resources to turn to for help.

Some little publicly available script kiddie tool isn't going to be of any real use if everything you claim is happening is happening. The best resources for that sort of investigation do in fact reside with law enforcement and the companies they have partnerships or communication with (e.g. the Google, AWS and IBM forensics groups) - if not with your local police, they can reach out to an abundance of resources that no individual is every going to be able to find, gain access to, or have any clue about how to use or interpret.

And if what you claim is happening is actually happening, I guarantee that law enforcement would like to know about it. But not reporting a crime because you think it would be too involved for the police to handle is is not a defensible excuse for not reporting a criminal act when you have evidence of one.

Absolutely not. I am very sure that this was not me doing that. I use that app regularly and am very aware of all changes I made.

I am so certain about this because of what has happened to me, this recent thing being a very big one. No one else is offering any explanation as to how else this could be done. I feel like I am being gaslighted here.

I am not really anyone special that some agency would use resources like that against. This person is a normal person. I really not cannot say how they came to possess this capability. I know it does not make sense, I see that. I wish I could accept that I am being paranoid. Then this stuff happens, this being one of the more concrete ones because there are changes logged I can go back and see. Changes that require a lot.

And by continuing to pursue this in a public web forum, and continuing to refuse to take it to the professional authorities, you find no answers, nor will you ever find any. If everything you claim is real and true, as you say you know it is, your only hope at all of any real answers is to go to the police, or the FBI or some other formal forensic IT experts.

Otherwise, you’re just wasting your own and everyone else’s time with these ramblings about things you refuse to even open your mind to alternate explanations for. You’ve observed certain things, and made up your mind about what is causing them, regardless of what anyone else tells you about them. There is no helping someone who refuses to either see their conclusions are wrong, or to seek out those professionals who could help them with their issues.

To me, the single weakest part of your whole argument is your own refusal to go to the police with what you continually claim you know is true and factual. If everything you’ve posted is, as you say you know it is, true and accurate, then you should not be going to the police, you should be running to them to report all this you’ve posted here, and naming the individual you say you know is doing it all so they can investigate them.

Saying you know it all is true, and you know who is doing it, and then refusing to take it to the authorities and name that individual to them makes you look a charlatan.

Well, here's a very simple answer for you. Believe what you want, but as the end of the day, iOS is miles ahead of Android in security, so go there and then say you've been hacked again.
