Security Tales: Radio Frequency Scanner

[relemedf5w23]

At a meeting with the Emperor, the director of the police department was asked a question. How did an article appear in one of the capital's newspapers, citing radio communications between the capital's police, the rescue service, and even (!) the security department's negotiations? And why hasn't an investigation been launched into this yet? Since the case involved a leak of confidential information, a group was formed, which included, in addition to operational officers, people from Johann's department.

The next day, the journalist who wrote the article was already giving testimony at the counterintelligence department.

— How did you obtain this information?

— It’s quite simple. In the past, I was a radio amateur. In uk whatsapp data store A, located in Republic K, I saw a radio frequency scanner that could be connected to a USB port. It allowed listening to a whole range of frequencies. Six months ago, the frequency ranges of the police, rescue service, counterintelligence department, and even the space station communications service were published on the Internet. There I found not only this information, but also decoding software. Moreover, the coding was so simple that a powerful PC was not required; my laptop was enough.

— But you knew that by listening to these frequencies you were committing a state crime?

— Where from? Especially since the conversations were either in the open (police) or weak encryption was used. If it had been a secret, I would not have been able to decipher the conversations, nor even bring a scanner into the country.
