It is also rumored that every cross-country electronic conversation anyone make is been recorded in a condensed form some where in the US. Conversations like telephone calls, Fax, emails, etc is been recorded and 'diagnosed' for some specific information, and could be reproduced and expanded where necessary.
With my knowledge of how Intrusion detection works in the Swicth blade (IDSM), where the blade sits as a line card in the backplane of the Catalyst 6000 switch, it does not interfere with the traffic going through the Switch backplane but these traffics are copied to its buffer for examination, it triggers an alarm and send a detail message to the director interface when it discover a comparison between at least one of its stored signatures and the packet been examined, I kind of believe that sniffing the whole internet is VERY possible and it cannot be just rumors. Again, how secure is the internet??? To me it is just a round-robin stuff. Someone implemented all the encryption technology we have seen so far and the key to decrypt then are not hiden far away in heaven, they are still with us humans. My 0.2 cent Regards.
