wire tapping (was: good passwords)

[John Grzesiak]

Wire tapping is cute. You really don't have to cut the wires to get data,
two induction coils with high sensitivity amplifiers and some conversion
circuitry and you have a tap, without the risk of setting off intrusion
circuits (Unless somebody out there has a circuit that dynamically checks
line load). The pentagon is a different story though, Fiber optics: yes
,tappable: NO . They are run thru a tubular plenum that is gas pressurized
with a pressure alarm, any change in pressure is a shutdown and 100% check
of every inch of the system. (anyway why are any of you even interested in
breaking someones system? There are so many applications yet to develop I
wouldn't think that anyone serious would have the time!)
