I spent the better part of six years in Uncle Sam's Country Club (better known as the US Army) working in the Intelligence and Security Command (better known as the ASA--Army Security Agency). During that time, my primary duties were Cryptology, Cryptologic Intercept, Counterintelligence, and Field First Sergeant (whatta drag!).

What I'm about to tell you comes under the heading of Cryptologic Intercept. Incidently, for those of you in the know, I was stationed at Field Station Augsburg in West Germany (if you're not in the know, read the book, THE PUZZLE PALACE).

The interception of radiated data from computers and computer terminals is known in the world of the ASA as "TEMPEST." TEMPEST intercept may be accomplished in several ways. One, is via a mobile van with the commo equipment on board, two is via strategicly stationed intercept sites (Field Station Augsburg) and the third, rarely used, is relay from one site to another.

To run a TEMPEST operation, you will need a good communications receiver, both high frequency and very high frequency with adjustable bandwidths and a VFO. If you plan to just intercept and leave the exploitation of the collected intelligence for later, you will need a HIGH-QUALITY tape deck; not one of those cheap-assed portables, but a high quality deck. If you plan to do the exploitation now or later, you will still need to convert the IF of your communications receiver to a recordable frequency. To do this, simply patch the output of your 1 MHz or below IF to the input plug on your tape deck. If your IF is something above 1 MHz you're S.O.L unless you have an IF downconverter around or have the ability to construct one. You will, in effect, be recording an RF frequency on your tape deck, vice an audio frequency.

Once you have your target tuned in, you may want to drive around the block or further away, to avoid detection. Remember, not to go too far or you will lose the signal. Mainframe computers (when unprotected) sometimes radiate a signal for 3 to four miles! A typical PC computer will radiate a signal for at least 1/2 mile if unprotected!

You should, by now, have picked your intercept site, have parked the van, and have made sure that you still have your signal coming in at good strength. The next step is easy! Simply connect the output of your low frequency IF to the input of your deck and let 'er rip! I find that 10" reels suit this purpose just fine, and you should be able to get at least one or two UIDs or PWs in the amount of time you will have at 7 1/2 or 15 i.p.s. After the tape is done (you may want to record both sides) pack up your gear and head for home!

Once home, you will need another piece of equipment, possibly two. In various surplus magazines, you will see a machine called a "visi-corder" advertised. This is a machine that burns a copy of binary code onto light-sensitive paper. They cost some money, but are basically invaluable. You are now ready for signal exploitation.

-

You now need to play your recorded tape into the IF input of your communications receiver. The output of your IF will be connected to the IF input on the visi-corder. This will give your the truest binary representation on the paper. If you so desire, you may connect the audio out of your communications receiver to the audio input of the visi-corder. The audio is rectified into DC and then you get a crisp, clear presentation on the paper. But remember this....DC LIES!!! While the representation may be clear, the binary spacing will be off slightly, increasing in error as you continue, until you finally wind up with continuous error.

While the representation may be clear, the binary spacing will be off slightly, increasing in error as you continue, until you finally wind up with continuous error.

Assuming you have made the proper connections, get some beer for your relaxation (or them funny l'il pills, or whatever makes you relax....here comes the hair-pulling part). Begin playback of the deck into your receiver and initiate the visi-corder's print mode. I recommend a medium-fast speed, because if you use slow speed to conserve paper (you cheap fucker!), the bauds will be so close together as to render the paper useless and wou wind up wasting the paper anyway!

At this point, print out about 2 minutes worth of paper. Once the paper is printed, expose it to light so it develops and have several 3x5" cards handy. As soon as it develops, scan the paper and the binary stream on it for a section that has three or four of the smallest (closest together) bits. This is ASCII. Once you have found the section, place one 3x5" card at the base of the section and mark off tick marks where each bit stops and ends (on the smallest bits only!!). You are now ready to do what we in the ASA call "bustin' bauds."

As you know, one ASCII byte consists of 8 bits. simply start at a reasonable point at the beginning of your interception and begin to mark off tick marks along the binary stream. Even if you come across 1s and 0s that are very wide, mark as many thin ticks from your 3x5" card on them. This is necessary to break the ASCII code.

Dr. Gordon's findings are corroborated by Dr. Russel Barton, today a psychiatrist of international repute, who entered Bergen-Belsen with British forces as a young medical student in 1945. Barton, who volunteered to care for the diseased survivo s, testified under sworn oath in a Toronto courtroom in 1985 that "Thousands of prisoners who died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II weren't deliberately starved to death but died from a rash of diseases."^6 Dr. Barton furth r testified that on entering the camp he had credited stories of deliberate starvations but had decided such stories were untrue after inspecting the well-equipped kitchens and the meticulously maintained ledgers, dating back to 1942, of food cooked nd dispensed each day. Despite noisily publicized claims and widespread popular notions to the contrary, no researcher has been able to document a German policy of extermination through starvation in the German camps.

It would be tedius to itemize and refute the thousands of bizarre claims as to Nazi atrocities. That there were instances of German cruelty, however, is clear from the testimony of Dr. Konrad Morgen, a legal investigator attached to the Reich Cr minal Police, whose statements on the witness stand at Nuremberg have never been challenged by believers in the Jewish Holocaust. Dr. Morgen informed the court that he had been given full authority by Heinrich Himmler, commander of Hitler's SS and th dread Gestapo, to enter any German concentration camp and investigate instances of cruelty and corruption on the part of the camp staffs.

Let me begin by a brief history of myself. I spent the better part of six years in Uncle Sam's Country Club (better known as the US Army) working in the Intelligence and Security Command (better known as the ASA--Army Security Agency). During that time, my primary duties were Cryptology, Cryptologic Intercept, Counterintelligence, and Field First Sergeant (whatta drag!).

What I'm about to tell you comes under the heading of Cryptologic Intercept. Incidently, for those of you in the know, I was stationed at Field Station Augsburg in West Germany (if you're not in the know, read the book, THE PUZZLE PALACE).

As you know, one ASCII byte consists of 8 bits. simply start at a reasonable point at the beginning of your interception and begin to mark off tick marks along the binary stream. Even if you come across 1s and 0s that are very wide, mark as many thin ticks from your 3x5" card on them. This is necessary to break the ASCII code.

The complete 8 bit ASCII code is at the end of this tutorial for your convenience.

Once you have marked off the paper, count off the first eight bits, e.g. 10011101 and refer to the ASCII chart to find a character that fits it. If you can't find one immediately, don't despair! Try using the complement of the 8-bit code in front of you (i.e. the reverse of what you've decoded. Instead of 10011101, try 01100010.). If you still have not found anything, slide your card over one bit and try to get another byte of ASCII. This time you may come up with 00111010 (complement 11000101). Check it with the table. Remeber, you may have to do this eight times (that is, shift a bit over eight times) before you make any sense out of it. It is long and tedious, but it will pay off in the end.
