[asterisk-biz] FCC ruling that requires all VoIP providerstomakewiretapping

[Frank]

Refer to google carnivore project.

Basically they monitor all convos , then they archive in case of need as in
Intelligence gathering . Like who did that guy call in last 60 days.
They can do voice comparisons on the tapes and find approx matches then
manually discard false positives.

They can also do realtime switching as in say a specific word or more and
then it gets filtered by a machine to a level 2 system that also filters..


Carnivore project sends 1 call ever million to a nsa agent.
Meaning 1 out of a 1000 gets sent to the agency realtime.
1 out of that 1000 is live monitored.

Consider it like a 'I got a bo...b' phrase in an airport.

They trigger on specs and then the software does the rest.

That does need affiliation with major players but carnivore is unix based
and acts like comview in a way that it sniffs the packets on the lan

The guy that worked with fbi ,nsa on this is the guy that works on the
recognition paterns ( I think it was dragon dictate) or similar products.

it should be automated on a per person basis.  The patriot act opened it
from a singular number to a person, so they have to tell you the
numbers, you dont have to guess but they can come to you and tell you
that anything 'this guy' sends you have to monitor.  

The monitor command will be sufficient.  I have seen CDs of FBI and DEA
wiretaps that were either CD audio or mp3s, wav should be fine as well
(PCM format - standard MS).  There isnt a legally defined standard as to
what format the audio needs to be in, although generally companies work
with the government on this and provide it in standard formats.

The title III warrant (what is needed for a wiretap, CDR records only
need a subpoena however as they are business records) get renewed every
30 days.  They have to be presented before any calls get monitored, etc.

Now if the government was listening to everyones calls like the claims
go, why do they need this?  Kinda makes you think they arent doing what
is claimed.
