Rumored to be the premiere spy software sold only to law enforcement agencies, D.I.R.T., an acronym for "Data Interception and Remote Transmission," continues to threaten privacy worldwide. Purportedly the model for the FBI's intrusive Magic Lantern web snooping program, with more abilities to monitor personal computers than the hacker's favorite Trojan known as Back Orifice, the elusive D.I.R.T. remains undetected by antivirus and antitrojan software alike. The free speech champions at cryptome.org have obtained an alleged copy of the D.I.R.T. Operator’s Manual, Install Guide, and program downloadable at this link (2.4 Meg).
Marketed as the premiere spy software sold only to law enforcement agencies, D.I.R.T., an acronym for "Data Interception and Remote Transmission," continues to threaten privacy worldwide. Purportedly the model for the FBI's intrusive Magic Lantern web snooping program, with more abilities to monitor personal computers than the hacker's favorite Trojan known as Back Orifice, the elusive D.I.R.T. remains undetected by antivirus and antitrojan software alike. The publishers of D.I.R.T. claim it monitors every keystroke and mouse movement on the target's computer, rendering encryption and data protection useless one law enforcement agencies download the user's passwords. The deployment of Magic Lantern, following that of Internet monitoring software Carnivore, provides continuing evidence of the unconstitutional expansion of law enforcement powers invading the privacy of innocent citizens.
The free speech champions at cryptome.org have obtained an alleged copy of the D.I.R.T. Operator’s Manual, Install Guide, and program downloadable at this link. This is one of 45 files on D.I.R.T., B.A.I.T., and other spying and surveillance products by Codex Data Systems that were previously posted at:
