-Caveat Lector- Pay attention to the geophysical aspects of the various echelon stations around the globe. For example stations in the Asia pacific might be more sensitive to indonesian military traffic and chinese triad activity as much as any Iran-Contra scandal. Why would the americans looks for Contra-drugs-for-arms conspiracies in radio traffic over southeast Asia when such signals would more easily be found in Virginia anyway? Even the NSA does not have limitless resources. Remember echelon is global. Intelligence systems do not operate in such isolation. Intercepts are often targeted, e.g. phone calls in an area, email from a person monitored, perhaps because an attack is suspected, or a target identified. General signals analysis would also be carried about -- to determine nominal levels of different signals -- pattern analysis of signals deviations would be monitored and categorised as well as pattern analysis of communication content. Targets might be monitored for changes in signals patterns, which give valuable intelligence in its own right quite apart from the value of the actual content. To illustrate, if a person suddenly starts sending many encrypted messages one day to highly unusual addresses [Baghdad?], this might be important information which can be acted upon immediately, before the contents of the messages are decrypted. As much as sending nonsense messages with keywords attached, people could do as the following: completely disrupt your usual online habits/patterns, if possible. open a hotmail account. on the day, suddenly send it dozens of small, encyrpted messages. find email addresses, telephone numbers, inside defence establishments and government departments. send a mixture of clear text and encrypted (don't use your own key) information. EXAMPLE "to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] from: george b. boring subject: i am the unassuming little man in the funny cardigan with the bow tie. we spoke last week at the bar after your disappointment. attached is the information about our products that you seek. we assure you complete satisfaction in all our operations." Attach an encrypted picture of an atom bomb plan, or something like that. In fact, attach an triply encrypted copy of another encryption key. Send another message some hours later, with the instruction "use the key I sent you to encode our futher communications". Make up fake plans to seize executive power in Jakarta by military coup and install a junta. Email it to every single Indonesian military email address you can lay your hands on. Encypt sensitive commerical information from your workplace and email it to your friends. (if you don't wish to damage your employer you can always use a totally bogus key, you coward). Ring your friends and talk about the type of security responses you expect from the authorities for the different operations and your agreed responses (when to escalate, when to back down, and so forth). Mention the healthy profit you derived from the whitegoods supplied thru "our contact in Mexico City", and remind your leiutenants that they will have an excellent selection of arms available because of it. Detail some. Write love letters that purport to be from the CMDR US SEVENTH FLEET to his bondage mistress in Honululu. Use freemail accounts for that one; include a plausible explanation. Try phoning known government extension numbers and make indiscrete inquiries about things they might be interested in. Have an email discussion on naval ship movements from your home port with Chinese journalists. Make sure you keep a detailed account of the numbers on their bow. Extra brownies for looing up in a Jane's for the ship names. Discuss their operational capabilities and potential deployment assignments (this information is often publically available). and so on! happy jamming, DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
