Kallahar writes: "Inspired by the FBI's DCS1000: Carnivore is a networked art project in two parts. The first part is Carnivore Server, an application which performs packet-sniffing on a specific local area network and serves the resulting data stream via the net. The second part consists of an unlimited number of client applications which tap into this data stream and interpret it in creative ways."

    The FBI's carnivore is based on proven technology. This anarchist's version of software is that open-source garbage. It will take someone 2 years to figure out how to install it, then they'll have to wait 3 more for the next release.
