We offer an HTML version of the Carnivore technical review report released yesterday by DoJ (without appendices): http://cryptome.org/carnivore.rev.htm (164KB text, 8 images) The original PDF report is 9.4MB, 121 pages. One notable conclusion about Carnivore's shortcomings and why its code should not be released to the public: Carnivore can be countered with simple, public-domain encryption. But it can snarf everything done by a targeted Web user, e-mail, FTP, HTTP, and you name it.

I already know.) alan@ctrl-alt-del.com | Note to AOL users: for a quick shortcut to reply Alan Olsen | to my mail, just hit the ctrl, alt and del keys.
