magic lantern (based off a rip off of back orafice by CDC) is the most recent thing. Its spyware plain and simple. carnivore is just a packet sniffer that can only be used if the isp in question cant tap a specific person. it doesnt run on the net at large. and the hardware/software that you speak of sounds like echelon, which clinton was behind, however even that is overstated in many regards. Can we get back to CALEA only or just drop this thread? CALEA is a real law passed in 1984 (interesting year eh?) that requires telephone companies to cooperate with law enforcement. A title III warrant is issued to the telco, they then tap the line, and provide the product of that tap to the issuing agency. the monitor app would work for calea, you just have to make sure your dialplans will call it for every call, then you avoid the $10k/day/switch fine that can be imposed for not being compliant. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.trxtel.com we pay you to terminate calls with us!
