Despite the uber-hacker tales about the NSA, the NSA succeeds for the same reason some spammers make $7,000 a day, people are careless.
Using one or more of these tools you can start hardening your network against government intrusion.
Government intrusion isn’t a question of if but of when and for how long?
After you start working on your network, enlist your friends as well. A neighborhood network watch program as it were.
You will run into issues when sharing local network maps with your friends. Most of you will have one or more conflicting local IP addresses inside your routers.
One easy solution is to use topic maps to create unique topics to represent all of the machines individually, even if they share the same local IP address.
That will enable you to query across all the local networks in the data set for similar probes, etc.
The larger your network of friends, the more data you will be gathering on the activities of the shadow government in the U.S.
Post your data publicly so it can be combined with data from other neighborhood network watch groups.
Let’s take back the Internet, one local data pipe at a time.
