I found out Electromagenetic waves emitted from computers can be read to
conclude what activity is taking place.
Curious about this, I placed an AM radio next to my PC and listened to the
sounds taking place.
It sounded alien-like, something out of sci-fi movie. Bleeps and bloops,
morse code like.
But, it validated the claim that signals do come out of your home pc.
With that in mind, software security (firewalls, antivirus) seems futile.
If signals come OUT, can they be taken IN?
Since i'm not a scientist, nor well versed in electromagentism - I dont have
this answer.
Perhaps this is what Infrared does and worrying about someone zapping my
computer to install spyware is paranoia.
But, since a signals can be read and analyzed, it makes sense that Big
Brother would keep the public uninformed as it relates to signal securing.
Google this: 'TEMPEST'.
Or see: http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/tempest.html
The FCC is in cahoots with the pro-surveillance nazi's in the United States.
Almost every electronic device now comes with an FCC label indicating that
it must accept outside signals, in addition to its intended use. So, it
seems Big Bro has managed to slip some laws to insure their unconstitutional
controls.
What will Norton, Symantec, Microsoft do when such security breeches are
well known? If you read about TEMPEST, you know its the governments pooch to
secure THEIR data. I am unaware of the TEMPEST technology being available to
nongovernments. In fact, this would violate the FCC rule which requires your
computer be vulnerable to interference. I'm not sure what purpose this FCC
rule fulfills other than to create a red carpet for would be electronic
harrassers.
Be aware, that even though you may not be on the internet, your activity can
still be monitored through this technique. Your only recourse is to shut
your computer off.
Or, does someone out there know what one can do to block the signals coming
out of the computer?
