That fucking rocks.

Fuck a hardware key logger standard with every Dell computer, what an invasion of privacy. I wonder what other manufacturers do this.

whoa.....

Please let this be a hoax.

If you look at the Homeland Security reply, the numbers on that match the numbers on this Homeland Security reply:

About Jeff Gannon, the white house planted reporter (http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/homeland_security_responds_jeff_gannon_404.htm)

So it's a photoshop and amusing website.

Maybe that is what they want you to believe.

Where is SHM when you need him?

I'm telling you Tamral could crack this case in no time.

I typed Dell and hardware keylogger into google news and this is what I got. It seems these guys believe this is a hoax.

However hardware keyloggers are real and they are undetectable unless you take your keyboard apart.

Yeah, the keyloggers are possible, but they are not installed by Dell.

Didn't read through it but they clearly called a hoax on it and their guys are cool like that...

Tamral on the other hand is getting ready/onwayto the con last I checked with em.

[AnticorRifling]

The chip is fake. So is the letter. That's not even the DHS' logo on the letterhead.


Keyloggers do exsist and I've used them before and the ones we use(d) didn't look like that. Two types; physical (like the one he found) and software (much easier to hide on a machine if you know what you're doing)

If a company was going to keylog my guess is they'd bundle it in their OS image/build. It's just so much easier to manage and cheaper.

At a glance the font weight is different in the letter portion as compared to the address and origin info. They shoulda run a slight blur effect on their text.

Hah! Yeah if by company you mean your roommate that wants your sex site passwords. They are incredibly easy to detect, its gotta be stored somewhere and its gotta use resources if its software, both telltale signs of rogue processes.

Keyloggers are a low-tech approach, and its absurd to think HLS or the CIA would use a bulky piece of equipment like what was shown in the images. And sending the data out thru the ethernet? Hah.

[Ebondale]

I can't imagine Dell computers having hardware keyloggers being that the U.S. Government has an enormous Dell contract and they would never allow computers used for Secret or Top Secret information to contain a keylogger.

Correct on all counts but you have to remember the average user doesn't know the task manager from a poptart.

And this line:

Freakin classic, had me laughin pretty good at that.
