In special services networks

... As already noted, it cannot be said that British intelligence services became interested in the Internet only because of the need to recruit new personnel, the desire to improve their image and the search for “constructive dialogue” with Internet users. At the earliest stages of the development of the Internet, the special services of the USA, Great Britain and other countries realized the information potential of the global network and thought how it could be used in their interests. In 1999, the word “Echelon” rattled around the world - this concept meant the top-secret system of global Internet monitoring used by intelligence agencies of the USA, Great Britain and Australia for any Internet activity of any Internet users. With the help of computers of unprecedented power, she could analyze randomly taken Internet traffic for the content of the given keywords in it, which terrorists could potentially use in their correspondence. The human rights defenders, who had declassified (not without the help of hackers) the system, demanded that the scouts stop eavesdropping on the whole world - according to some reports, the Echelon began already after the Second World War to monitor the telecommunication systems of the Soviet Union. Its resources are built on networks of secret satellites and antennas, with its help, in particular, you can listen to other people's telephone conversations. With the spread of the Internet around the world, the system was oriented towards it. Among other things, special services were accused of the fact that, after eliminating the Soviet threat, Echelon was reoriented to industrial espionage. The scouts have long rebuffed, but in the end, some of them admitted that the Echelon really exists. Information on this subject, as always, is contradictory, and what is happening with Echelon in our time is hard to say for sure. However, as it turned out, somewhere in 2000, the US FBI began introducing at the facilities of some providers a new, more advanced tracking system - Carnivore (“carnivorous”), which also knows how to search for the right words in the traffic passing by and even calculate the same traffic on different channels to determine the source of its origin (thus, for example, theoretically you can find a hacker hiding behind anonymous proxy servers). At the beginning of this year, the FBI openly announced that Carnivore was out of date, was being removed from armament, and it was being replaced by a new system that the FBI would not tell anyone about ...
