Remake it a thing.
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't voip phones purely internet based meaning it would be simpler for people to listen in? I know you can still tap a lan line but internet seems like it would be a much more simple task.
Voip isn't necessarily insecure or easy to tap. Additionally if you want to put the work in, it can be encrypted.
Remember, sms messages and email are transmitted in plain text over the wire. Far more easy to intercept those than a voip call imo.
This is partially correct, TLS comes into play for email authentication, however the body of the email is still transmitted in plain text. To encrypt the body, you need to use certificates with public and private keys and share the keys with the person you are communicating with. Not easy, but not impossible.
Same thing for SMS as you mention CDMA and gsm authentication is encrypted but the SMS body is not.
You can build your own stingray if you have some time and knowhow and see what all your neighbours are talking about. Its for this reason the app Signal abandoned SMS message transmission, they didn't have a way to secure it in transmission and didn't want to mislead their user base. That said it appears that Signal was either created by or endorsed by the CIA as they have the encryption keys and thus can read any message sent thru the system.
There is very little privacy in any kind of message transmission anymore.
What shockadee said.
Your texts ALL get read, and it’s quite easy to tell when someone is listening to your phone calls - you’ll typically start hearing an echo.
Remember, “Cell” phones are all “SMART”, too…. Google got into that business for a reason.
Voice over internet protocol.
That is literally what it is, yes.
Ahh gotcha yea makes sense lol. They just installed these at my job and was curious about why they needed and ethernet. Simple google would have gave me that one lol. Thanks, just posted while reading responses here and had a "thought out loud" moment.
