latest security 8 channel dvr measures

What’s more, IPS provides an analytics tool designed specifically for Facebook, implying a definite focus on the analysis of the kinds of services surveillance system and websites that the GCHQ programme Squeaky Dolphin is using.

Glimmerglass, a California company specialising in physical fibre optic taps, advertises its probes as a way to intercept massive amounts of information travelling to social networks. In a presentation entitled "Paradigm Shifts" it displayed its physical probes and management system as a source of real time interception for particular communication sources. By selecting particular sources, the system intercepts traffic related to the particular "Communications Source," be it Facebook, Google, or Twitter. It would also appear network camera to use IPS's Facebook analysis tool as an example of the mapping and reconstruction of a person's digital life that can be done using the traffic intercepted by Glimmerglass' tools.

Interception vs. Open Source

It is important to remember that these types of technologies, similar to Squeaky Dolphin, are not simply analysing publicly available information, or open-source intelligence (as it is called in the surveillance community). While the acquisition of information from publicly available sources is problematic, it is distinctly different from the practice of GCHQ in its Squeaky Dolphin programme, which focuses on the interception through 16 channel dvr physically tapping cables as the data is travelling across them, or gaining access through a third-party database.

The documents outlining Squeaky Dolphin come from 2010, before many social networks including Google and Facebook used https to encrypt user traffic across their sites. These latest revelations illuminate the serious need for all communications to be properly secured in order to protect users, including by implementing https. However, encryption is no silver bullet, as https only mitigates interception in transit and intelligence agencies are always seeking ways to crack the latest security 8 channel dvr measures. But at the very least these tools can help to better protect users' privacy and reduce their risk of exposure to agencies that seem determined to record and analyse every facet of our lives.
