Have you been wondering whatever happened to TEMPEST surveillance? Has its technology been rendered obsolete? Well I'll point to some common sense thoughts and consider whether it is still viable. If you buy cables with the highest shielding and the lowest current to produce the signal there just wouldn't be enough signal to leak outside of your computer room. For example when I went looking for a monitor several years back I bought a NEC 14" with the lowest power consumption of any other monitor that I could find. We were talking in the 20's of watts if I recall correctly. So common sense states that if you are some spook trying to snoop on someone's monitor it will be
much harder to do if you simply don't have enough power going through the system to then inturn cause those electrical-magnetical power and data cables to radiate usable signals that can be reconstructed.

In the old days TEMPEST surveillance was very very easy. There were
thousands of volts of electricity going to power the tubes into the
production of images onto the screen. These high energy signals would travel far beyond the premises and could even be readable by a spook living across
the street or far away if there was a capture and forward system setup. The capture system would record what was captured from the emission of spurious signals on to a hard drive and then sent through communications systems such
as the Internet on to a surveillance posting that would receive the signals
at a great distance from the originators of the signals by forwarding what
was captured onto their operations room anywhere in the world.

So, now for the big question... does TEMPEST still work? Honestly I do not know. But I can observe the reactions of the governments of the world.
There was a hacker (computer security) conference a while ago and they pulled the talk about TEMPEST, probably because they had something to hide. It was pulled by the government not the hacker conference, for clarification. If
the big three letter agencies have a problem with the disclosure of TEMPEST information then it should be looked into.

One thing to mention however, in case you were unaware "TEMPEST" stands for
the "Transmission of Electromagnetical Pulse Emissions Standard" or something close to that. It is the reconstruction of signals from a source to receiver at a significant distance for the utilization of those signals in the
practice of surveillance or espionage.

Wow that was intense, I read something similar along the lines, only it was electronically induced states of confusion and even sometimes plain out delusional, and paranoid, but these were caused by an emission of energy, whether it be radiation, 5g, or v2k voice 2 skull, which was The U.S' method
of inducing electonic mental telepathy. I wonder if tempest is still around,
I can look around the net, and foia files, but later on my time. Well interesting article, in the next segment I shall talk about using MetaSploit
& Shodan on how to run a white hat surviellance .. words fail me, routine..
lol

Well take care bwhahahahah! ClASS!
