typically the phone home is looking for a response to unlock.
use a packet sniffer to see what the request/response is and replicate it with a proxy or response server.
this is also know as a man-in-the-middle (mitm).
takes skill and knowledge to do, but once you do a few dozen it’s pretty easy since most software “phone homes” are looking for static non-encrypted responses.
everything is unmonitored if you don’t connect to the network.
But not everything works in those conditions.
it does if you make it work in those conditions.
software that “phones home” is easy to fool.
Just firewall the software or is there anything more fancy i would need to do?
