The short version

Trevor writes software for a living and takes it apart when something smells off. He started at a Staples repair bench in 2003, spent six years running the network and servers at Intergis, and has built apps at Verizon since 2011. Along the way he exposed Carrier IQ and found CVE-2011-3975 in HTC's phones. In 2020 he used public records to show a police drone flying over a protest. His certifications run all the way from CompTIA PenTest+ to EPA 608 Universal for HVAC work, and he is finishing a BS in Cybersecurity at Thomas Edison State University.

Carrier IQ

Carrier IQ was hiding on millions of phones. He took it apart and showed everyone what it could see.

In November 2011 Trevor published a report on Carrier IQ, diagnostic software that carriers and phone makers had quietly put on millions of phones. On HTC devices it ran as root with its menus stripped out, so most people had no idea it was there. It could log key presses, text messages and web activity, and HTC phones had no off switch for it.

Carrier IQ didn't like the attention. On November 16 it sent him a cease-and-desist letter claiming copyright infringement and "false allegations." The EFF answered for him on November 21, arguing his research was fair use and protected speech. Two days later Carrier IQ withdrew the threat and apologized.

Then he posted the video. On a factory-reset HTC phone you can watch Carrier IQ log every key press, an incoming text and browsing on Wi-Fi as it happens. It has been watched more than 2.2 million times. Three days later Senator Al Franken sent the company's CEO 11 questions, including whether it had broken federal wiretap law, and a member of Congress called for an FTC investigation.

About a month later he put out IQTool, a quick Android app that checked a phone for Carrier IQ and helped people send its profiles to the EFF.

CVE-2011-3975

HTC Loggers

An HTC update let any app with internet access pull your location, phone numbers and texts out of a hidden logger.

In September 2011 Trevor, working with Artem Russakovskii of Android Police and researcher Justin Case, found that an HTC update had added a logging suite called HtcLoggers.apk to phones like the EVO 3D, EVO 4G, ThunderBolt, EVO Shift, myTouch 4G Slide and Sensation.

Any app holding nothing more than the INTERNET permission could ask it for GPS location, phone numbers, SMS data and system logs. He wrote a proof of concept and recorded a demo. The team gave HTC a heads-up around September 24 and went public on October 1.

HTC patched the phones. The flaw became CVE-2011-3975, and F-Secure shipped a named detection for it, Exploit:Android/HtcLoggers.A. When the FTC brought its first case against a phone maker in 2013, HTC's logging apps were part of it.

Surveillance oversight · public records

Drones over the protest

He used public records and raw DJI flight logs to show a police drone flew over a protest, and an FAA inspector called the flight path somewhat careless.

In the summer of 2020 Trevor used the EFF's Atlas of Surveillance as a starting point and sent public records requests to six police departments, asking about drones, Amazon Ring partnerships, BriefCam and license plate readers. He posted every response he got.

The records didn't always match what departments said. Chicopee told him it had no Ring agreement, then produced one signed in May 2020 after he followed up. Northampton turned over records for 4 drones and 97 flights since 2018. Westfield's logs showed a police drone in the air during the June 4, 2020 Black Lives Matter protest.

He mapped the raw DJI flight logs, a 2,570-foot path that ran over residential streets, and filed a complaint. On September 1 an FAA inspector wrote that the flight path was "somewhat careless" and that operating there "presented undue risk to those below." That same month he won a records appeal (SPR20/1513) ordering Northampton police to answer his flight-path request. On the EFF's referral he brought the case to Harvard Law School's Cyberlaw Clinic, which took it on pro bono.

On October 1 a city councilor read his statement into the record at the Westfield City Council meeting, asking for drone ordinances and independent review of police complaints. The Westfield News ran his letter and the police chief's response on October 21. He later took the Ring requests to Norwood, which turned over about 145 police emails with Ring, and to Quincy.
