FBI Wiretaps internet

Hey, I just read this article and I'm blown away. I was wonderin what you guys thought of it: ** Reminder: Monday is Wiretap the Internet Day

May 14th is the official deadline for cable modem companies, DSL providers, broadband over powerline, satellite internet companies and some universities to finish wiring up their networks with FBI-friendly surveillance gear, to comply with the FCC's expanded interpretation of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act… ** full article:

this is the shit that the inet is coming to. makes me wanna move to another country. it's just insane what they plan to/are doing.

just so ya'll remember. cell phones can still be used to listen in even if they are OFF. take out your battery if you want to be sure.

Yup I heard about that. The FBI actually used the microphone on a drug dealers razr while it was off, they had somehow gotten java software on his phone to keep it open like a mic 24/7 as long as it had it's battery in it. Damn this surveillance is just getting fucking ridiculous, I don't see how this doesn't infringe on our first amendment rights. :(

technically, none of us have any. we lose 4th ammendment rights once we are terrorists….and hackers == terrorists.

lmao thats so gay.

so does that mean that they can see that i'm typing this right now?

Well they have access to all of your ISP's logs, all day long all the time. So yes, everything you do, type, say or anything on the internet, the FBI has at it's disposal. And of course proxies would do absolutely shit to stop that because the FBI has a direct link to your every move via the logs of your ISP.

lol thats so gay. is that only in the great old usa? :P

really? i beg to differ.

even if you hack just 1 site and make no profit from it, depending on the size of the site it can cause fbi / gchq interest.

Start begging ;)

lol isnt that violating our constitutional rights or something?

and how can they make isp's install there survalence shit on there servers? :ninja:

hackers forfeit constitutional rights, we're terrorists. xD

about using wifis at starbucks or whatever…I'm pretty sure they log your mac address (if you don't know what that is google it) which is unique and static, so they can track you down. I've heard of mac address spoofers but I'm not sure how they work or how effective they are. (I'm assuming it would be the same for psp's too)

on linux you dont even need a spoofer program, there is a commandline command to change it. i too, however; don't know how effective it is.

i figure using proxies will still be important. yes, whereever you connect from will log what you do, but odds aren't good they'll look at the logs without reason (too many for them to that with) and only look if they have a reason. so if you bounce off a proxy (or three) then you should still be in basically the same boat you were in before. xD

One thing about the MAC: they can shove it up their asses ;) (MAC is useless)

atleast im not in the US :xx:

ROFL Australia will take ages to adapt to something like this. We are trying to switch our major ISP to ADSL2+ and lol it is estimating about ummmmmm i dunno 5 years or something. Long way away for me and if they tap the net then ill just use someone elses. Ahhhh The wonders of Aircrack
