Well, The strings for debug code can certainly show up, even these files themselves. Which you can see some samples of under /content (the video stuff is missing, fueling the conspiracy fire?) There's screenshots, wallet.dats and fake files. Even a picture of, presumably, one of the developers: https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/master/lib/rcs-common/evidence... Ref'd: https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/master/lib/rcs-common/evidence... In fact, if you look at all the modules in /evidence/ they all contain obvious dummy / test data. https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/master/lib/rcs-common/evidence... https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/master/lib/rcs-common/evidence... So on. Are they implanting pictures of themselves on hacked machines? Screenshots of their own code? It's obvious to anyone who can take a cursory read of these chunks of code in context that this is dummy test data. -Travis On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 12:35 PM, Rayzer <Rayzer@riseup.net> wrote:

It's pretty clear that these files just contain dummy values for debugging / test / placeholder purposes. There's no indication that these ever end up being pushed to devices.

Just for giggles I did a search on those file names.
pedoporno.mpg turns up articles on top about the Hacking Team
childporn.avi turns up hits about the BAT_ETIMOLOD.A virus followed by Hacking Team hits farther down the page. At least one of these files is not always a dummy.

"childporn.avi" and "pedoporno.mpg"
Those vids... Are they being planted on the site under attack by the hacking team or it's software or is it linked offsite?
