Multi Channel Beeper Buster System

Single Channel Beeper Buster^TM System

 

If the bad guys in your jurisdiction use pagers to conduct their business, you need The Beeper Buster^TM. With The Beeper Buster^TM, you can sit in the privacy of your own office and monitor every message sent to any pager. You do not need the cooperation of the paging system operator, nor will the user of the pager know you are monitoring all his messages. The Beeper Buster^TM can capture all messages sent to a target pager, capture all messages containing a particular “search string” (such as the phone number of a suspect location, pay phone), or any combination of the above. Special techniques are used to determine the unique address (the “capcode”) of the pager, meaning you do not need access to the target pager to capture its messages. It’s very simple. And, the The Beeper Buster^TM is affordable. Unlike rival units, The Beeper Buster^TMactually operates faster than the paging system. This means no missed pages, for any format at any speed. Persons using other less capable pager intercept systems are well aware of the problems of missed pages. The high speed and perfect accuracy of The Beeper Buster^TM is due to our extensive use of custom designed high speed hardware. If you need to use captured messages as evidence in court, the specially designed features of The Beeper Buster^TMguarantee the integrity of the data.

Interceptor – Pager Interception System

Interceptor is a system used to log pager message traffic over Pocsag or Flexpaging networks directly to a PC or computer network. The software is available in single PC or networked client/server versions.

Interceptor consists a 4 channel receiver unit and a Windows based application which together are able to monitor up to 4 paging frequencies within up to 4 pre-selected frequency bands. Pocsag and Flex pagers may be monitored on separate channels.
(For single channel logging see LogPage)

 

Interceptor is equipped with powerful filtering and reporting tools that enable the user to automatically search through received pager messages using different criteria and output the filtered results to the screen, resend it to apager or other messaging device such as a cellphone or forward it via email.

Pager reception and decoding

…

The only requirements to decode pager transmissions is a scanner / receiver capable of receiving FM on pager frequencies, ( the low 900Mhz band seems to be the most active) and software that is capable of decoding pager transmissions. The software I use is calledPDW, and is freely available. It is capable of receiving both POCSAG and FLEX transmissions in all bit rates including a handful of other protocols.

Aydınlık raid reveals Ergenekon wiretapped several people

Sound recordings of the phone conversations of a number of prominent figures from various circles — including the prime minister, Cabinet members, journalists and mayors — have been found on CDs seized in a recent police raid at the offices of the Aydınlık newsweekly, as part of the investigation into Ergenekon, a clandestine organization charged with plotting to overthrow the government.

Police raided the offices of Ulusal Kanal TV station and the Aydınlık newsweekly — a publication put out by the Workers’ Party (İP), whose leader, Doğu Perinçek, is an Ergenekon suspect — over alleged links to the criminal network on Monday. The police reportedly acted on the Aydınlık’s latest cover story, which included a 2004 phone conversation between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) President Mehmet Ali Talat, on the suspicion that Ergenekon had wiretapped Erdoğan. Police found recordings of phone conversations Erdoğan had between 1999 and 2004 on a CD seized during the raid.

There were also recordings of İstanbul Mayor Kadir Topbaş; Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek; ministers Ali Babacan, Hilmi Güler, Egemen Bağış and Cemil Çiçek; businessman Remzi Gür; former UN Special Envoy to Cyprus Alvaro De Soto; aide to Prime Minister Erdoğan Cüneyd Zapsu; and journalists Murat Yetkin and Hakan Aygün.

Additionally, documents seized in a police raid in March at the home of Mustafa Özbek, the jailed chairman of workers’ union Türk Metal, revealed that the Ergenekon terrorist organization established two main centers in the KKTC and Ankara to wiretap conversations, including those of politicians and businessmen. Özbek was arrested in late January as part of the ongoing investigation into Ergenekon, which stands accused of multiple assassinations and attacks designed to trigger an eventual military takeover, working through its links to the state, including the military, the judiciary and the media.

Gold Lock Enterprise VS Skype

Skype uses SSL which uses electronic certificates and 128 bit encryption (standard for credit card transactions online also) This level of encryption is NOT appropriate for even top secret level communications. How many times have credit card numbers been stolen online?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security

128-bit 2^128 2 multiplied by 2 128 times over. = 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (give or take a couple trillion…).

Gold Lock Enterprise uses 4 different encryption methods. One of which is 16,384 Bit Authentication. That is 2 multiplied by 2, 16,384 times over (not just 128 times). This method IS appropriate for top secret level communications. Enterprise uses 16,384 Bit Authentication Elliptic Curve 384 Bits (RSA 7680 Bits Equivalent) AES 256 Bits Diffie Hellman 4096 Bits

AES – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard Top Secret appropriate

RSA – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA Top Secret appropriate

Diffie Hellman – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie-Hellman_key_exchange Top Secret appropriate

In addition to this technical “stuff” the facts remain that Skype provides a key to governments for lawful interception (which means all the security in the world in now a mute point) and  Skypes 128 bit encryption has been broken, and hackers now easily intercept their calls.

http://sigillu.wordpress.com/category/technologies/skype/

As you can see Enterprise has significantly higher encryption capabilities than Skype. Skype encrypts just enough to satisfy their customers. Gold Lock takes pride in having the best and highest encryption software on the market. Gold Lock Enterprise is a military grade encryption software. No military uses Skype to relay orders or pass top secret information.

Demos to show spying on mobile IP calls

This screen shot shows the user interface of UCSniff. The user can listen in on a conversation and see the video of two people talking on an IP-based video phone. The two video screens show what each of the video phones is displaying.

Hotspot sniffer eavesdrops on iPhone in real-time

…

“As the private call is in progress, we can see and hear what is happening,” said Jason Ostrom, a developer of UCSniff and director of Viper Labs, the research arm of security firm Sipera Systems. “There’s real-time violation of confidentiality.”

In addition to monitoring voice conversations as they happen, UCSniff can also bug video conferences in real time. Ostrom said he and fellow Viper Labs researcher Arjun Sambamoorthy plan to show those capabilities at Toorcon as well.

With the proliferation of iPhones and other smartphones, plenty of businesses and individuals have sought to save money on roaming charges by routing calls over the internet instead of over carrier networks. Adam Boone, a vice president at Sipera, said one large, unnamed client logs more than 1 million minutes per month in such VoIP calls.

The problem, he added, is that many of the iPhone apps for VoIP calls don’t provide encryption capabilities, making the conversations ripe for eavesdropping. (Sipera plans to unveil a new product to protect such users next week).

Common VoIP Protocols Defeated

Recent reports have surfaced that have revealed weaknesses in the ever-popular Google Voice and Skype protocols.  These weaknesses have allowed attackers to eavesdrop on third party calls and make unauthorized calls using another person’s account.

Such a vulnerability in a service as popular as this is highly concerning, but the attacks have been proven to work according to many different sources, and also the Slashdot website.  It would seem that we are now looking at two protocols, which remained secure for a long time, which now have a major vulnerability that calls into question the whole security of the architecture.

Any organization that is reliant on Google voice or Skype should now be asking themselves the question: “is it really safe for my company”? Even though according to both companies, the vulnerabilities have been fixes the truth is once a major weakness is exposed it can be very hard to trust it again.

Certainly, the fact that these technologies have been breached must be a concern for both organizations and individuals that are dependent on secure calls.  However, what alternatives are available and how do people utilize them?

One can avoid the dangers of integrating non secure solutions from Skype, Google Voice, or other non secure VOIP systems into organizations infrastructure and instead utilize technologies, which are tested, and proven more secure.

Skype tapping program code released

A software developer who designed a way to tap and record calls made on Skype and other VoIP networks has made the source code of the spying program public, a move he said will allow other programmers to build workarounds to the potential threat. The programmer, Ruben Unteregger, was tasked by his former company ERA IT Solutions to write a Trojan horse program that could tap VoIP calls for the Swiss government.

Apparently, the program bypassed Skype’s heralded encryption process, one that has vexed security officials in Europe multiple times.

In a translated interview, Untregger discussed his rationale for releasing the code.

“The code will be published, it will get analyzed as soon as the binaries got uploaded, signature patterns will be created by anti-virus companies, the malware will be detected, blocked and deleted, if it tries to infect a system,” Untregger said.

Untregger’s motives appear to be genuinely in the interest of private citizens and enterprises that use VoIP services like Skype, as the publicizing of the code makes its use by security agencies redundant, according to a Computer World report. However, making this code available could have negative repercussions if hackers can use it to build even more powerful tapping programs. Other instances of Skype hacking, such as China’s purported monitoring of dissident communication via VoIP programs, gives one pause when considering the public availability of such information.
