The world famous Kevin Mitnick has set up a demonstration of fiber tapping into emails in transit. He has laptops playing the parts of a user’s device, a company server through which the first device sends emails, and a third to represent a hacker’s device. The user’s device and the server are connected via optical fiber, just as they would be in the real world, and Mitnick introduces a $400 fiber tap that can read the traffic passing between them. Mitnick sends unencrypted emails to and from the user’s device and demonstrates that the hacker can read these emails in real time as they transit the fiber cable.

  • I want to see this video with actual simulation while Using HTTPs, else without wire tapping you can sniff and extract Base64 information...
  • Almost seems like the guy with him is unimpressed or trying to act like he's "on par" with Kevin, lol!

  • This is old. I remember when it was introduced at box just ninjas the fiber optic light transmitted data but if you fuck that wire up you just fucked off the internet for like 1 quarter of your city. ... I donno this is old but stuff. But I’m gonna monitor this video and see who views it
  • Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
