Did not expect this post to get all this attention. I've done a little digging and found the operator on X. Had some DMs and he(?) said that they've had 1 black box and 3 white box audits. I'm not going to speak for anyone, so maybe you can ask them directly.
I don't really care beyond continuing to nudge people away from this idea of "seal of approval audits", which have been an industry curse for decades. I don't think E2EE email is a good idea to begin with.
Maybe x.com/rootshell0 is their X account? I wish I could tell you more.
edit: the operator is one of the accounts 10 followers Lol https://x.com/haptagod
I've turned an HP 2000 laptop with an Intel CORE i3 and a smashed screen into a hub for some old scrypt miners, as well as just a general purpose terminal in my 'noc'. If I had another one I would probably use it to learn more about, and set up, a honeypot on my home network.
Does it have a good GPU? Have it run password hashes for Aircrack-ng instead. Are you versed in Linux distros? If not, use it to play with unfamiliar OS (driver issues notwithstanding) without too much worry about breaking anything important.
