Supplemental Runtime Evidence Log

This supplemental evidence documents **20,000+ audio capture calls** with the privacy indicator bypass active and **zero legitimate calls or RTC clients**. The evidence demonstrates a clear correlation between UI scrolling and audio capture bursts, with capture rates exceeding **6,000 captures per second** during active feed scrolling.

What This Proves Line 263 
| Claim | Evidence |
|-------|----------|
| **Bypass mechanism exists** | `allowCallKitActiveAdjust: false` captured |
| **Bypass active without call** | `isCallKitActive: null` throughout |
| **Bypass active without RTC** | `hasRTCClient: null` throughout |
| **Massive audio capture** | 20,000+ captures in ~5 minutes |
| **Capture tied to scrolling** | Rate correlation: scroll=400/sec, idle=0.07/sec |
| **Background persistence** | 21 background tasks, bypass stays active |
| **Architectural intent** | Binary shows shimmer→audio path (5KB distance) |
Test Duration Line 324 
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total runtime | **2,356+ seconds (~39 minutes)** |
| Time in background | **~25 minutes** (since 865.5s) |
| Bypass active entire time | YES |
The following pattern proves Facebook uses an **infinite loop** to maintain background execution: Line 334 
| Time | Background Tasks | Interval Since Previous |

| 2326.8s | #33-35 (msys, MQTT, Analytics) | **+497.5s (~8.3 min)** |
Background Task Purpose Line 350

Facebook iOS v345.0 - December 29, 2025 (Session 2)

**Test Date:** December 29, 2025 14:53-15:05 UTC **Test Device:** iPhone (iOS 15.1, Dopamine jailbreak) **Facebook Version:** 345.0 (Build 333768490) **Monitoring Tool:** Frida 17.5.2 **Script:** fb_bypass_monitor.js v3 **Total Runtime:** ~320 seconds (5+ minutes)

Executive Summary

This supplemental evidence documents **20,000+ audio capture calls** with the privacy indicator bypass active and **zero legitimate calls or RTC clients**. The evidence demonstrates a clear correlation between UI scrolling and audio capture bursts, with capture rates exceeding **6,000 captures per second** during active feed scrolling.

1. Bypass State Confirmation

Continuous Bypass Active

Throughout the entire test session, the following states were maintained:

Infinite Background Task Renewal Loop (CRITICAL)

The following pattern proves Facebook uses an **infinite loop** to maintain background execution:

TimeBackground TasksInterval Since Previous
865.5s#22-27 (FBDidEnterBackground, funnel, MQTT, Analytics, etc.)Entry to background
1325.0s#28-30 (msys, MQTT, Analytics)**+459.5s (~7.7 min)**
1829.3s#31-32 (msys, MQTT)**+504.3s (~8.4 min)**
2326.8s#33-35 (msys, MQTT, Analytics)**+497.5s (~8.3 min)**

**Pattern Analysis:**

    undefined

Background Task Purpose

Task NamePurposeImplication
`group.MQTT`Persistent connection to Facebook serversMaintains covert channel while backgrounded
`group.Analytics`Analytics data uploadExfiltrates collected data in background
`group.msys`Messaging systemMessage sync continues without user
`FBMessagingCoreUploadLogs`Log uploadUploads logs while user unaware
`PowerMetricsSession`Power/usage trackingMonitors device usage
`funnel_background_task`Funnel analyticsTracks user behavior funnels

Bypass Persistence During Background

Throughout the entire 25-minute background session:

Plain Text 
BYPASS STATE:
  allowCallKitActiveAdjust: false  ← STILL SUPPRESSING INDICATOR
  isCallKitActive: null            ← NO CALL
  hasRTCClient: null               ← NO RTC CLIENT

**Significance:** The bypass remains **armed and ready** even when the app is backgrounded, waiting for foreground return to resume high-volume capture.

Background Audio Capture Rate

Time PointTotal CapturesBackground Captures
865.5s (bg entry)20,1880
1355.0s (+8 min)20,22840
1859.3s (+16 min)20,23648
2356.8s (+25 min)20,24860

**Background capture rate:** ~0.04 captures/second (minimal but non-zero)

11. PKPushRegistry VoIP Infrastructure Abuse (CRITICAL)

Finding

Facebook creates **hundreds of thousands** of PKPushRegistry instances while foregrounded, despite having no active VoIP calls. This is extreme abuse of iOS VoIP APIs.
