Treasure Map: NSA, GCHQ Work On Real-Time "Google Earth" Internet Observation
wabrandsma) writes with the latest accusations about NSA spying activity in Germany.
According to top-secret documents from the NSA and the British agency GCHQ, the intelligence agencies are seeking to map the entire Internet.
Furthermore, every single end device that is connected to the Internet somewhere in the world — every smartphone, tablet and computer — is to be made visible. Such a map doesn't just reveal one treasure. There are millions of them. The breathtaking mission is described in a Treasure Map presentation from the documents of the former intelligence service employee Edward Snowden which SPIEGEL has seen. It instructs analysts to "map the entire Internet — Any device, anywhere, all the time." Treasure Map allows for the creation of an "interactive map of the global Internet" in "near real-time," the document notes. Employees of the so-called "FiveEyes" intelligence agencies from Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which cooperate closely with the American agency NSA, can install and use the program on their own computers. One can imagine it as a kind of Google Earth for global data traffic, a bird's eye view of the planet's digital arteries.

APK is a renowned Internet kook, hostfile whackjob, fucktard and pedofile. His specialty is threadjacking and sockpuppeting to talk about his malware-infested crapware and various conspiracies. No-one EVER knows WTF he's talking about. The current question of how MAC adresses would get into TCP/IP frames is also a fine example that HE doesn't know what he's talking about, either.
He will respond to this and any following posts with "learn to read", "you're projecting", "I'm not APK, but he's my hero", re-post the same reply 7 times, etc., etc., etc. until the time_t's wrap around or he has the last post in every sub-thread.
Hey Kowalski, I thought I told you to fuck off and not come back!
