Morse Code Migrating To The Net

Posted by timothy on from the greedy-meme dept.

Rosco P. Coltrane writes "With Morse code slowly disappearing off the air, there seems to be a growing number of people who carry out conversations in Morse over the internet. Several Windows and Linux clients using VoIP or special protocols, such as EchoLink, EchoLinux, MorseMail, CW Communicator or CWirc exist for Morse lovers worldwide to pound brass and make contact with one another. Could the next must-have computer input device be a morse key ?"

    Yeah Randy had his compute blink his NUMLOCK light in morse code to defeat van eck phreaking. He would have fake shit on the screen and the real info coming out of the blinking light. Cool scene in the book, and a nice look at how to deal with known active attempts at getting at your data, and defeating it right under someones nose. Neat!
