Wasn’t their a system shown that could read keyboard signals wiresless? And another for crt monitor cord emissions that nearly reproduced the monitors image? Depends on how much privacy you need and how hard someone else wants it. I had three letter agency issues for years, the surprising one was the laser off my living room window. Found it with the Nintendo wii on calibrate mode, showed the infrared hot spot on the glass and by careful shielding and aiming we located the source was a house across the valley. Using lasers to pick up window panes like microphones is old tech, heck, I think it was build one for $6.75 out of the back of a magazine years back. Still, was neat to find it.
We made up some crazy stores to tell in that room, then just started talking to them and telling them we knew they were recording. Laser went off about two weeks later.
Brings up the larger philosophical side of it all, and the nature of the cat and mouse game. Is this what humanity is reduced to in this era?
Technically I applaud you, i couldn’t do what you accomplished. What’s the end game though?
In my case, the team on other side wanted to recruit me, so they over shared trying to impress me. Now I just return the kindness.
Look up The Great Seal Bug, by Leon Theremin. For passive surveillance, they use a more advanced version of that, basically in every computer and phone. But to sabotage computers, like the ones running power plants in Venezuela and Japan, they sometimes use active malware, this gives a chance for a large antivirus vendor to detect it in the wild if they know where to look, so I am trying to find a researcher willing to try.
Endgame? "I just aim to misbehave." Kinda. But to be serious: it is said that the CIA does covert operations to protect the "american way of life". I have my "happy way of life", don't need much more than what I can create/get for myself, but their way are in my way, so they either move or crack, because I am not doing it for them. If I have to be Snowden V2, so be it.
