Cheaper Carnivore Alternatives Still Want To Spy On You

Posted by timothy on from the less-blatant-but-still-blatant dept.

Troodon writes: The Register reports on Forensics Explorers' NetWitness. Rather than relying upon the FBI's 'fail-safe' separation of Carnivore Operators and Case Agents to discriminate between legitimate data and that inadmissably, incidentally siphoned up along with it and submitting to the installation of a mysterious black box within their network, ISP's can comply with CALEA in-house for approximately $2,500 per collector and between $35,000 and $45,000 for an analysis station. Should you fancy a little development, another cheaper alternative exists: Altivore." Not sure any of this is much comfort -- the lesser of two evils is still evil.

    The FBI and ASIO can kiss my arse. There will definitely be some 'civil disobedience' from me over this one. No wonder people want to blow the crap out of the WTC towers. And good on them.
    Fuck I hate police states, especially when they try to claim it's in our best interests. I think not. It's really just about controlling information. We all know what carnivore is based on - software developed by the now defunct 'Inslaw' software company. The software was stolen by the FBI, and they then drove the company out of business, hired a few of their developers, and shot everyone how protested. Do a search on google for 'inslaw'. There are more articles on it than you can point a corrupt FBI agent's shrivelled dick at.
    Fucking FBI. Someone PLEASE bomb the FBI...
    Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm posting as 'Anonumous Coward', re-read the article. I value my life...
