[lbo-talk] DPI, Egypt, and USA

[Chuck Grimes]

AJE is reporting today they found who makes the software that shut off their 
live broadcasts and what Egyptian government used to locate journalists and 
others using Twitter.

It's called deep packet inspection, DPI. It allows a server to monitor 
packets and see their content and sending-receiving ends. For people using 
cell phones, it also links up to GPS to identify the location.  The company 
name is Narris and it is located in Sunnyvale of course.

This is exactly what I am sure the US NSA uses.
