Network Associates Buys "Better Carnivore"

Posted by michael on Tuesday August 27, 2002 @03:52AM from the need-bigger-hard-drives dept.

ShaunC writes "CNet is reporting that Network Associates has just purchased a software company called Traxess, whose main product - DragNet - supposedly makes Carnivore look like a toy. DragNet is capable of monitoring everything from email to web, FTP sessions to IMs, even print jobs and VOIP conversations; sorting the protocols and logging it all to disk at gigabit speeds. One NAI exec envisions "the government using it to investigate employees and hackers." NAI has also issued a press release about DragNet."

Are your friends as paranoid as you about people reading their email? Or are you all members of some terrorist group? Don't forget to put a scrambler on your telephone while you're at it and buy some dark glasses and a wide brimmed hat for when you go out too.
