iran says some equipment rebooted during the war while they were cut off from the global net.


the hypothesis: a firmware or bootloader backdoor, triggered by satellite.
how that would work:
> code implanted below the os, in firmware or the bootloader
> sits dormant. invisible to standard monitoring tools.
> listens for a trigger: a timer, a malformed packet, or an out-of-band signal
> on trigger, runs a preloaded payload
> the reboot wipes most of the evidence
at this point verification is impossible, but it's good to keep in mind.
