FBI Ordered to Divulge More Carnivore Records

SilverStr writes "Looks like we may be learning more about DCS1000( AKA: Carnavore). Privacy advocates have won another round in their fight to gain access to more information about the FBI's Carnivore e-mail surveillance system."

That file name

[Anonymous Coward]

Is it just me or does DSC1000 look like the model # for a Kodak Camera? That's how they'll fool all of us into running the program. We think it's a twain compliant camera driver. We'll be giving up our secrets in no time.

Let's face it...

There will probobly be a Press Conference outlining their new stratagy:

1. FBI downloads entire internet.
2. FBI runs custom filter.
3. FBI sends a copy of whats left to the Islamic world ($10 says it fits on a Zip100).
4. Islamic world finds new reason to denounce 'the Evil Western Pigs'.

So this _really_ is for your protection.

EtherPeek?????

[Observer]

This bit of the article caught my eye:

" ... as well as a device called EtherPeek, which manages network traffic. ...."

Huh?

EtherPeek is a well-known LAN traffic monitor from WildPackets [wildpackets.com]. Interesting to see it mentioned in this context: I can certainly see how writing a custom module or two for it might save The Protectors Of Our Freedom a bit of work. Or is this just a case of a confusingly-chosen name?
