    A clip from the 1998 film The Big Hit featuring the 'trace buster buster buster' scene, where characters try to defeat a phone trace.

    HN commenters link it as a joke in threads about tracing, IMSI catchers and surveillance, not as a serious recommendation.

      I clarified my usage of the term "infiltration" in response elsewhere in this thread. It's very bizarre that you're harping on that term when, technically speaking, it's accurate (even if my use here is mildly hyperbolic): > the action of entering or gaining access to an organization or place surreptitiously, especially in order to acquire secret information or cause damage. Like I explained to you in another response, abductive reasoning makes fair game of the conclusion that, yeah, if election worker v̵o̵t̵e̵r̵ [1] information is stored on the servers of another country (and of all countries, China—not known for its VPS services), it's reasonable to conclude that there's something not right about that. It might be inconvenient to recognize, but it's not like I'm spouting glue-huffer theories here. It's a finger tip away from smacking you in the face it's so obvious. [1] Edit: I concede to themitigating that I am, in fact, guilty of the great crime of misattributing the type of information on the server. Disregard everything I say. I am dishonorable. this video

      Cool, an IMSI Catcher Catcher. I am reminded of the otherwise unremarkable 1998 action comedy "The Big Hit." Not only does this trace buster keep a buster from tracing your call, but it can also trace the MF that's tracing your shit. But if them MFs got a trace buster too, that's why I gots this trace buster BUSTER. See when a MF try to bust your trace with a trace buster, this MF gonna bust the MF trace buster that's busting your trace. this video
