	Carnivore (FBI) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carnivore is a name given to a system implemented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is analogous to wiretapping except in this case, email and other communications are being tapped instead of telephone conversations.
		Carnivore was essentially a customizable packet sniffer that could monitor all of a target user's Internet traffic.
		The Carnivore device works much like commercial "sniffers" and other network diagnostic tools used by ISPs every day, except that it provides the FBI with a unique ability to distinguish between communications which may be lawfully intercepted and those which may not.

	Carnivore FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Carnivore is used in two ways: as a "content-wiretap" and a "trap-and-trace/pen-register".
		Carnivore is widely publicized and many ISP engineers have direct experience with Carnivore (and know where the boxes are placed); Echelon is much more secretive.
		A Carnivore system located near the sender can only discover that the suspect is sending e-mail to a remailer, but cannot discover who the destination is. Likewise, a Carnivore wiretap located at the recipient can only discover that a message was received from a remailer, but not who originally sent the e-mail.

		In 1985, the deranged chaos of Carnivore was finally contained in vinyl, as their self-titled debut album surfaced from beneath the tainted earth.
		Following the release of 'Retaliation', Carnivore were at the peak of their career, and they were on the verge of breaking free from the confines of Brooklyn and spreading their brand of nuclear mayhem across the globe.
		Carnivore may now only exist as a memory, you are free to walkthrough the rest of your days with their twisted ideology as your co-pilot: "If you can't eat it or fuck it, then kill it!

		Carnivore is a sealed box that is installed at the network operations center of an Internet Service Provider.
		Adding the Carnivore task is a simple matter of blind copying every packet to or from a bad guy to a third address at the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building in Washington, DC.
		And by doing it themselves with Carnivore, the FBI doesn't have to reveal the identity of the bad guy or extent to which it is using the box.

		Carnivores are animals that eat a diet consisting only of meat, whether it comes from live animals or dead (scavenging).
		They may consume other products presented to them, especially animal products like cheese and bone marrow, or sweet sugary substances like honey and syrup, but, as these products are not essential, they do not need to consume these on a regular basis.
		In contrast to the lion, these Emperor penguins show that teeth and claws aren't necessary to be a carnivore.

		Carnivore is a computer surveillance device system developed within the FBI that is installed and used together with a tap on the facilities of an Internet Service Provider.
		As Carnivore creates a full copy of the data stream, the next step in the process is to filter the data so that only packets that are identified as being part of a transmission involving the target are actually copied for review by the investigators.
		Given that use of Carnivore has been limited, highly trained personnel from FBI Headquarters have, so far, played a critical role in the implementation process, although there is no procedural requirement for their participation.

	Comments on the Carnivore System Technical Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		We applaud the DoJ and IITRI for their openness in the Carnivore review process, especially in light of the time constraints under which the review was conducted and the extraordinary sensitivity of critical law-enforcement surveillance technology.
		As Carnivore is not in-line in the protocol, it is quite difficult and not always possible to detect missed or out-of-order packets.
		It would also seem to be a good idea to capture the entire configuration of the machine after it is used; perhaps they could use a removable hard disk (as their only permanent storage, so that all software, everything would live on it), and after finishing an interception, put the the removable disk under seal.

	CARNIVORE.
		Carnivore rose from the ashes of Peter Steele & Josh Silver's band Fallout (for those who don't know, Peter & Josh are the cornerstones of Type O Negative).
		Carnivore's persona was based upon the post-apocalyptic nuclear warrior, armed to the teeth with makeshift armor and wapons, killing his fellow man to stay alive.
		Carnivore shows were quite an experience, as the band was rumored to chum the audience with buckets of animal entrails and blood.

		Carnivore is created by RSG, an all-star collective of computer artists selected from cities around the world, and directed by Alex Galloway, artist, co-founder and co-director of the new media organization, Rhizome, New York.
		Carnivore has recently been exhibited as part of the exhibition Open_Source_Art_Hack at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City, May 2002.
		Galloway insisted that he and his collaborators never meant it to be seen as a lightning rod for criticism of the F.B.I.'s system, even though his project seems to undercut the concept of covert surveillance by conducting it openly and prettifying what is unearthed.

	EFF Statement to House on Carnivore (July 28, 2000)
		The Carnivore system appears to exacerbate the over collection of personal information by collecting more information than it is legally entitled to collect under traditional pen register and trap and trace laws.
		We have been able to discover that Carnivore is a packet-sniffer, able to gather pen register and trap and trace information by sniffing each packet as it is routed along.
		Allowing a system such as Carnivore to be used unchecked by law enforcement exacerbates the problem of over collection of data and has the potential to harm our open society.

	The FBI's Carnivore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It is called "Carnivore" and was created by the FBI in response to the inability of an Internet Service Provider to discriminate communications from criminal suspects to the exclusion of all the other communications that the ISP handles.
		Approval to use Carnivore is granted where probable cause can be demonstrated, where normal investigative methods may not work, or are too dangerous, and when prior electronic surveillance warrants further interest in the criminal subject.
		Carnivore is designed to limit the material that can be viewed from its surveillance to just the data described and authorized by the electronic surveillance order.

	Surveillance Technology
		Carnivore is a packet "sniffer" diagnostic tool that the FBI's Engineering Research Facility (ERF) in Quantico, Va. developed to covertly search for e-mails and other computer messages from criminal suspects.
		Thus in order to make sense out of the billions of 1s and 0s passing by it, Carnivore has to be familiar with the most common applications used for Internet communications (e.g., MS Outlook E-mail and Lotus Notes E-mail) and their updates.
		The FBI offered its presentation on the Carnivore program during the June 2000 meeting in order to demonstrate at least one of the means by which the FBI is conducting electronic surveillance pursuant to court orders.

		You'll remember Carnivore is a sealed box that the FBI proposes to install in the Network Operations Centers of Internet Service Providers that are known to serve users who are criminal suspects and who are under a court-ordered e-mail tap.
		The way it was originally explained, Carnivore boxes would copy and store e-mail to and from the bad guy for decryption and examination by appropriate officials.
		And since the Carnivore boxes need to be directly in the flow of all e-mail at an ISP, this is doubly concerning.

		Carnivore scans all the incoming and outgoing e-mail of people under surveillance.
		In addition, the government told the ISP that the Carnivore system would be capable of capturing much more information than authorised under the court order, but that they would programme the system to target only information from a suspect's account.
		Barry Steinhardt, Associate Director of the ACLU said that Carnivore "is comparable to allowing government agents to rip open Post Office mailbags and scan every piece of mail in search of one specific letter whose address they already know".

		According to the FBI, Carnivore works much like a "sniffer," a program that has been around for some time and is designed to monitor and analyze network traffic so as to help network administrators eliminate such problems as bottlenecks.
		Before Carnivore can be used in a case, the FBI must go through several high-level judiciary approvals, and inform the relevant Internet service provider of its actions.
		Attorney General Janet Reno said while she had been informed that Carnivore was in development, she learned from a newspaper article that the system had already been deployed in actual investigations.

	FBI retires its Carnivore
		FBI surveillance experts have put their once-controversial Carnivore Internet surveillance tool out to pasture, preferring instead to use commercial products to eavesdrop on network traffic, according to documents released Friday.

		Developed by a contractor, Carnivore was a customizable packet sniffer that, in conjunction with other FBI tools, could capture e-mail messages, and reconstruct Web pages exactly as a surveillance target saw them while surfing the Web.

		It is no small irony that the inept fumbling of Carnivore could be the greatest boon to privacy — both legitimate and otherwise — that electronic communication has ever known.
		A collection of independent reviewers has gone over the Carnivore code, of course — after several others passed, citing onerous FBI conditions — but their report has done exactly nothing to mollify critics.
		Though the Bureau promises — cross their hearts — that Carnivore would never be used to invade anyone's privacy without a court order, their regard for the Fourth Amendment appears shaky at best.

		An FBI official involved with the test stressed Friday that although Carnivore has the ability to grab a large quantity of e-mails and Web communications, current law and specific court orders restrict its use.
		Nevertheless, privacy experts said they are worried about the breadth of Carnivore's capability and questioned why the FBI even conducted such a test in June if it intends to use the tool only for narrow purposes.
		While law enforcement officials have admitted that Carnivore can capture much more than e-mail, including Internet chats and Web browsing, FBI officials insist it is only used to copy e-mails to a criminal suspect or from a criminal suspect in accordance with a court order.
