gravityfed,

I read a couple of your posts. They are so helpful. I might have said this before but thank you for taking the time to include this information. I wanted to share a life-changing bit of inask if you knew that there is a way to capture a sysdiagnose on an iPhone using only the iPhone itself? You may already know but I’m going to include it here as so many other users have gravitated to your posts. I mentioned this before and advised the community to “google it” but it was so helpful I wanted to post it here.

In Settings, tap Accessibility then Touch.

On the Customize Top Level Menu screen, tap the + button to add a new function and select Analytics. Analytics is now added to top menu for assist. You can tap the Back button to leave that menu.

I’ve seen a couple different ways to do this so I’m going to put here what worked for me. After turning on touch assist I went to my Home Screen then proceeded to do the following:

Press and hold both, volume up and volume down buttons and the power button until you feel a short vibration. (Has to be all three buttons.) This triggers the sysdiagnose. When you release the buttons slide to shutdown.

when the phone is turned back on double tap the assistive touch icon and “gathering analytics” appears at the top of the screen. This can take up to 10 minutes. Log files are captured. When it’s done a notification- “finished gathering Analytics” appears. Go to Settings and Analytics Data in Analytics and Privacy. Scroll down to the SysDiagnose entry and send it back to your phone. I just save to files.

I was shocked when I saw the device tree connected to my phone. The configurations and sophisticated software and processes running in my devices confirm “they” are spending enough to feed a small country with the fortune being blown to target and monitor my communications and track and follow me, a single mom with a little girl. It turns out many reporters, journals and activists are targeted like this. I’ve had a lump in my throat and a knot in my stomach since this began 5 yrs ago.

But this handy little system check was a God-send and I hope it helps someone else!

Unless you have appropriate specialist expertise/software with which to analyse and understand system generated Analytics or Sysdiagnose logs - they are of limited value to an untrained observer.

Without expert knowledge, these logs often do nothing more than create insecurities and paranoia for faults or issues that may not exist.

I am constantly having diskwrites, message runners, and blockers power perf and software installed on my phone without my knowledge. Have five case numbers with Apple Apple does not care they just give you the runaround. Everything is Google API, visual studio code scripting and Microsoft and they tell me that’s normal iOS software. That is what the senior advisor told me from Apple last night that is normal iOS software.

All AI hype aside, Apple has been using machine learning for a while now. Why do I mention AI and ML in this context? Because that all preferably runs on processor cores tailored for and dedicated for running machine learning algorithms. Specialized processing cores which Apple calls Neural Engine.

How does ML code run on NE? It gets compiled.

Want to learn more about iOS and iPadOS and macOS, and about ML and NE?

I have three more links with more info, but the forum software persists in corrupting the links.

There is a bug here.

A bug somewhere.

About forensics and hacking?

As for the rest, I don’t think anybody here really cares if folks read the logs and telemetry. By all means, have at. It’s the history of requests posted for help with seemingly endless screenshots of, well, nothing. Benign. Normal. Or flaky hardware.

It somewhere between difficult and impossible to prove a device is not hacked, too. Proving a negative is hard.

It’s also that some folks report having been hacked for six months or a year or longer. Having previously received assistance or suggestions. Some of those folks may well be hacked. Others can have other issues. And there are those that have multiple platforms they report are compromised.

iOS and iPadOS exploits are Really Expensive (full stack exploits with persistence were worth over two million dollars each, when last I checked), and those tend to be targeted as the vendors don’t want those investments patched and rendered less valuable. The more platforms, the more effort and costs. The more valuable the target, if the hack actually happened. Or they got black-bagged or otherwise.

Past links and suggestions such as the Personal Safety Guide and Safety Check, if folks’ devices are actually hacked, or if so if somebody got black-bagged or gaslight by folks with local access, nobody here can help. Not past the usual reset-and-reload-and-related suggestions. Forensics investigations need direct access, and are about as privacy-invasive as can be conceived, too. If multiple disparate devices and platforms (and Google IDs, Apple IDs, and other IDs) are hacked as can get claimed around here, nobody here can help. Same for cases involving thefts and burglary claims. Cases involving bad batteries are reported as hacks, too. And if otherwise benign or normal things are being persistently misinterpreted and not actually hacked, nobody here can help with that, either.

An hes got a weird since of humor as well i was on phone with advanced tech telling me theres no way but im like the logs dont lie an another no1 ever has access to my phone it’s always on me an if coworker barrows to call im right there (doesnt happen oftn) bit when i dont use my health app except when i got phone to put med ID for health reasons an everything is changed on it ik something is up yet i believed them last time again ive been hacked multiple times for what reason none but it’s annoying that my phone is slow an crashes all the time

The great thing is you can’t remove it .. you need to know who’s hacking you and then get the server name and the password from the 3 rd part company that’s doing the monitoring

Please ANYBODY please just tell me the SOLUTION …

how do I STOP & take CONTROL & TAKE OUT being hack????

This is standard for MacOS. If you think it represents some kind of hacking of your machine, that's mistaken.

Restricting comments to those permitted here, you should update your iPad to the current version (noting that iPadOS 16.3.1 is currently installed on your iPad). At the time of writing, this current version is iPadOS 16.4.

Having updated to the current version, if concerns remain, perform a full reset of the iPad before restoring from an iCloud or iTunes backup:

The advanced technicians at Apple Support keep trying to convince me this is ‘normal’ but of course it isn’t because the start of the log states “roots installed”.

Look a little closer - and the complete field (that you partially quote) likely states “roots_installed":0.

This “0” indicates that there are no kernel roots installed. An integer value of 1 or greater indicates presence of a root.

Hi.

Thanks for your comments.

Yes most of what you're saying has been going on here too.

On the contrary, not only do I believe Apple are hackable, I go as far as to say that, in fact, Apple are less protected now because technology has moved on and Apple have jumped into bed with across platform giants but they are on their own in some departments I think it leaves them exposed

ANE _might_ stand for "Adobe Native Extensions", but if you don't have Adobe software installed, and especially if you have no extensions installed, that's very unlikely to be the problem.

ANE also stands for "Apple Neural Engine", and since the crashing code is in a folder named "AppleNeuralEngine", you can bet that this is the problem. Apart from that, no idea what the problem is - best idea would be to upgrade to the latest iOS version and pray that the problem has been fixed. Or another factory reset, and be very, very, very careful what you restore. Because anything causing the problem might be in some file that gets backed up.

Hello Gravityfed, I feel alive again! My analytic logs mimics yours almost word for word excuse me code for code...except my device is iPhone 12 Pro Max but hardware OS 13,4. I want to say more but after being booted off a while back... I chant. In my experience dealing with the Dev who work against everything that should flow normally in a device just to see what happens? To create chaos? It is not for the greater good of Tech? Those EXPERIMENTS, ROLLOUTS, If a person has nobody to bounce their thoughts off 🤨😞 I just want to thank you for, explaining in simple enough jargon, your thoughts on what is happening here!

I feel good! Thank you!

@gravityfed I've come onto ANE Compiler Service conversation 8 months later looking at my logs the next morning. I have a build 21c66

training_type. I think that means my iPhone 12 Pro Max original system has been changed to something lesser unable to perform as it should? Or something like that? My problems are identical to all of the other users commenting on your post! If I wasn't booted off the forum last year being stifled and having to suppress all that I was going through! My health took a toll for it! I am so thankful to have found you all to reference from! Can you please tell me if I'm partially correct? What I should do about the 21c66 build? Thank you

Acerca de esto no se absolutamente nada como ustedes ,yo ando 24/7 en la calle y ustedes son los que saben ,esa captura es de mi iPhone y no se como explicarlo pero si se que a través de eso existen intermediarios entre uber y los conductores ,si un viaje uber lo lanza en 20 usd ellos son los que los interceptan como un broker y lo lanzan a 15 digamos ganando 5 free ,el conductor solo nota que los viajes que antes realizaba por un precio ahora lo pagan en menos ,otro detalle es que si lo rechazas te entra una y otra vez y muchas veces a menor precio aún,no se en otras cosas que lo estén usando pero en esto lo hacen así ,al igual que imagino que eso lo saben es noticia vieja ,en Amazon flex y demás similares .
