FBI Defends Carnivore - Slashdot

Lasertech says, "This article on CNN. com explains that FBI searches by e-mail using Carnivore only when there are valid court orders. FBI can trust this. I don't want to pour the oil too much, but from the same restrictions, the law enforcement agency needs to grasp what you already have. I thought there was.

The only point of pediatric patriot is that: to make your caution a little as if your civil freedom is eroded.

Don't be misunderstood, but many of the enforcement agencies are good people who have the desire to see justice.

And there are also hairdressing idiots that use the constitution as a toilet paper and give people like Joe McCarth.

In other words, privacy rights are not in the constitution, but the Supreme Court is implicit. However, the fact that the federal authorities can access e-mail freely, even if they are "court instructions only", can access all email they want is Article 4, 5, 5, 5, in the Constitution. I like Article and 6, but it is equivalent to saying that it is not actually applied to the Internet.

Your email is not a pure shared provider system defined by a telephone company, but through a proprietary system, so there is no reasonable expectation for privacy. Unfortunately, they may have a legal basis. I don't want to think about that.

But you have to wonder if you are ironic about the "child player and its same kind". Who is like a lolicon? Does it depend on who legislation? Probably abortion enemy? Or an abortion activist? Or Jewish? Or Muslims?

In other words, people in the Middle East, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and others, may have sent an email to Osama Bin Radin, so you should always be able to scan emails. 。

You who are giving up freedom for freedom (the freedom of the Declaration of Rights for the freedom to live without fear, or so you believe) are exactly the people de Tocqueville warned would cause the inevitable destruction of the "Great Experiment". You are the ones who would rather have a bottle of vodka, a can of Linux, and oral sex once a week than the freedom to save face from an intrusive government.

I'm on the side of "freedom". If I don't have to fear that the government will arrest me because they saw me chatting about DeCSS in email with a friend, I don't mind living in a little fear of my neighbors.

Yes. The point is that we need to protect the FBI from its weaknesses and those of the specific individuals involved.

As long as there are alternatives (double routing only traffic controlled by court order would be the most logical), there is no reason to put a system that is open to abuse in the hands of any agency.

As for proving that they can handle it, I don't think we should put it to the test.

The scariest thing about the CNN article and other articles the FBI is responding to is that the only thing they seem to have learned is to come up with better names for these projects. They see this as a public relations issue, not a privacy issue.

Why not tap the physical layer ? ( Score: 4)

I don't understand why the FBI can't continue tapping phone lines as they do traditionally under current law. Instead of an agent and a few cell phones, all they need is a modem and a computer to tap the connection.

Of course, people communicate by computer from places other than their home, but the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have dealt with pay phones in the past, or people calling from cell phones or work. (Often requiring an extension of a wiretap order.) Or they might use traditional wiretaps (small hidden microphones) or long-range directional microphones, etc.)

Why don't wiretaps directly connect to physical cables, which would instantly guarantee they could get all of their target's communications and not anyone else's.

There's no way they'd send someone to put a clip on a wire. Surely the central telephone exchange has a way to remotely connect and record calls?

This system also seems open to problems where clever targets could spread the communication to ignore by some packet shaping, so that the traffic doesn't match the IP address. Or worse, someone could fake what you think is a problem. But if it hits the physical cable you're using, it becomes a perfect filter. All his and no one else's.

The alternatives are

- The FBI thinks they can do their job for less money if they install carnivore boxes, and that they're not going to lose anything (or much) by mixing this and other people's traffic. In this case, I think they're just operating on technically incorrect advice. They probably hired a government contractor to look into the possibility of such surveillance, and then convinced themselves that it was necessary or that it would work.

- The FBI really wants to be able to illegally mislead people through everyone's email. (If I were a lawyer defending a young client who was "hacking" and reading other people's email, I would make sure the FBI agent explained exactly what he was doing with the box, and argue that without a court order, the agency couldn't punish my client for anything.)

Unfortunately, I lean toward the first case. Or maybe it was a blessing. I think the FBI is just wasting money, reducing the payoff from the new system, and wasting political damage (which they'll really need later). It's a big blunder that will cost the government a lot of credibility along with funding. If the FBI is going to regulate illegal phone activity, it's good to have an agency that's skilled both legally and technically, not incompetent.

Everyone, CARNIVORE is a fishing gear designed to avoid troublesome restrictions such as Article 4 and 5 of the Constitution [Cornell. edu].

ISP Institute Traditional New Policy: If FBI (or other "or other" other "Judicial" ministry's thugs) appear with carnibore to monitor emails in the ISP office, ISP is all affected by the contract. Is to cancel or stop (or, instead, raise the monthly fee immediately). This may be clearly justified based on the fact that customer behavior has accompanied ISP additional time and expenses (to deal with FBI and additional hardware). If the cost of T1 rises 100 % overnight, the ISP is expected to transfer its cost to consumers. Court orders may not be able to tell customers the reasons for suspension of account or 100 % price, but ultimately the catch all missions protect customer privacy. I would be glad if my ISP stopped, canceled, and doubled the price when my privacy was impaired by carnivore (or other carnivor e-like prying tools). think.

Oh, grow up. This is a kind of argument, an extreme inference. "The FBI should not indiscriminately read all email that passes through ISP routers" is very different from "The FBI should be removed from all law enforcement." I assume you also consider the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments [loc. gov] criminal. I mean, if you want to catch a criminal, why do you need a search warrant? It just slows down the investigation and lets the "criminal" go free. A free and sensible people should always evaluate any expansion of government power and determine its merits and appropriateness. What are we getting here? And what are we being asked to give up? In all the things being discussed about carnivore, I think we are being asked to give up important and essential rights, and in return we are not being offered something we don't already have.

We are the masters of our government, and it is our right, our duty, to look under the hood and see how the engine works.

But the FBI method is not so. Will the SURETAP people deny the sacred rights of people when they seek such authority? no. They do not want people to receive. They want that power only for themselves. So, in terms of logical, they must want to use them (assuming they haven't used it yet). If nobody has the authority to do something, I don't think someone else should have that authority, but it is more intimate to use that authority, which is more intimate. It's completely meaningless to spend money to get to get. There are many bad guys in the world. Most of them should be in prison. They are not deserving freely. If the law enforcement agency is limited to fair and reasonable means to arrest them, more will hold the freedom promoted by committing the law. But I don't intend to sacrifice my freedom to take freedom from the guilty crime. I don't think people who think so will actually be happy.

In the CNN article

According to the FBI, CARNIVORE works like a "sniffer" and is designed to monitor and analyze network traffic to resolve problems such as bottlenecks in a previous program.

FBI officials believe that the more critics will not be afraid by knowing more about Carnivoa. Carnivoa has been used in about 25 investigations in the past year, including criminal cases related to conflicts and terrorism and "national security" cases.

Well, my interpretation is that they've already stripped enough ISPs to use as evidence in 25 investigations in the last year. So, you know, your ISP already has it, they don't have to tell you, and they're spying on all of your SMTP email for the last year. This pisses me off.

I think it's just as easy to extract mailers from a data stream as it is to look for anything else. Sniffers usually do some sort of sorting of the raw information, so you can pull out the email messages.

Let's say a suspect signs up for a yahoo or hotmail account. All emails go through the ISP formatted as html pages or html submissions, so a sarcophagus might not know about it. But if you click directly on that line, you'll get links to all kinds of sites that you can sort through.

The FBI will only use Carnivore to screen emails if they have a valid court order. So why do they need it? The system is set up to allow such searches if necessary. There are already plenty of alternatives to the "mysterious black box." Just speculating here, but Carnivore can store information from a while back. So if the FBI gets a court order, they can see some of the activity before they get the order, not just the activity after it's been deleted. Let's say you're an idiot.

The digital signed copy is given to ISP, and after EFF or someone reviews the code, it can be seen that no one has been in the program. Finally, instead of the program directly provides information to the FBI, the information is sent to someone inside the ISP, and before the person transfers to the FBI, make sure that there is a court order.

1) The target person is communicating regularly using the same computer or device. Dia l-up computers at home, workplaces and school computers correspond to it. This is a Wiretap model. Eavesdrop on everything that comes in and out of the computer. For telephone lines and DSL lines, go through a passive modem device on the line. In the case of a cable modem or workplace LAN, a sniffer needs to be installed (see below).

2) Surveyors communicate using multiple different devices used by others. This is a drug seller who always uses different public telephones, or a person who works on multiple public computers in libraries and schools and uses different things every time. Such cases do not apply to Waretap models, and may be trying to do the FBI, but there is no reason to make Suretap according to the situation.
