Safeweb Helps the CIA To Mask Its Moves on the Web
Safeweb Helps the CIA To Mask Its Moves on the Web
SafeWeb suggests that the CIA also might use its technology to allow its far-flung agents and informants to communicate home, without the countries they are spying on ever knowing. The CIA was very interested in Triangle Boy, a software package that can turn any personal computer into a surrogate Web server. The system allows users to navigate to any number of innocuous PC addresses, and then go to the actual Web site they are seeking -- without leaving a trace.
