Espionage Research Institute - Day 2

Attending and presenting at the annual ERI meeting means telling clients we will be unavailable for a few days. They understand once I tell them what goes on behind these closed doors. The information I gather directly benefits them. If you think any of this can help you, give me a call and I will brief you in greater detail.

This is what I heard today...

• Need to track down Cellular, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals?
Berkerley Varitronics RF Detection Products probably has just the little handheld instrument you need. Each instrument, with its own weird name (Yellowjacket, Swarm, Mantis, WatchHound, etc.) handles a very specific chore. You only buy what you need. That keeps the costs down. Need a special enclosure, like hiding their contraband cell phone detector in a water bottle, or secreting an antenna in a pocket pen? No problem. Very cool Jersey engineering dudes.

The rest of the day, ERI members taught what they know... 

• Protecting Your Computer Network - Dr. Gordon Mitchell
• Laser Eavesdropping Techniques - Dr. Gordon Mitchell
• Alternative Power Sources for the Eavesdropper - Mark Clayton
• Android App Vulnerabilities - Charles Patterson
• 4G LTE Cellular Network - Russ VasDias
• Covert Store and Burst Digital Stereo Bug - Vicente Garcia
• Display of most of the TSCM instrumentation designed and built by Glenn Whidden (with commentary by Glenn). Instrumentation provided by J.D. LeaSure.
• Discussions about topics for next year's meetings.

The discussions continue tomorrow.

Thank you to our client family for adjusting your schedules to allow us time to attend this important meeting in Washington, DC. Tomorrow we are back on the road again completing visits this month to Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Philadelphia, Anchorage, Boston, New York City, New Jersey and Illinois. ~ Kevin D. Murray
