20:18, Friday. Attending a lecture about radiation from computers, particularly from monitors. The idea is that a monitor radiates, and if you receive that radiation you can reconstruct the information on the screen that caused that calculation. It's not straigtforward or easy, but the idea is simple. I assumne he'll say later that you can protect your information by putting wires acros your windows. He now demonstrates the effect: the original info on a screen, and the screen that's connected to his antenna showing more or less the same image. It's quite impressing, he gets an applause for it. Btw, this is the first time I can write and upload from the circus tent. The professor now shows a tap on a power supply of a PC. He'll tap information from that, by the compromising emissions from the line. He calls the effect electromagnetic smog. It is kind of tiring to listen to a German professor who's English isn't too good. The subject is very interesting though. Next page |
