Spycraft
have been providing bug sweep services sins 1992 when the service
became official, we have seen the industry change & have
managed to change with it.
We
stay up to date with surveillance electronics on the world market
to
help give us the intelligence required for finding some hidden
spy systems.
Would
you be surprised to know that many people & organisations
providing bug sweep services do not have the knowledge required
for the task, weather it be a misunderstanding of the environment
or the equipment they are using.

A Guide to TSCM &
Bug Sweep Services |
|
Introduction
TSCM,
or "Technical Surveillance Counter Measures",
is the generic name for the techniques used to locate
electronic surveillance, or "bugging",
devices. These devices, of course, are nothing new,
but advances in integrated circuit, and microchip, technologies
mean that microphones, and cameras, specifically designed
for clandestine surveillance are smaller, and more sophisticated,
than ever before. Businesses and other organisations,
such as schools, hospitals and hotels, have come to
appreciate the dangers to their privacy, or that of
their clients, from monitoring of confidential conversations,
etc., by unscrupulous individuals, as the result of
disgruntlement, bribery, or blackmail.
TSCM
Equipment & Bug Sweep Services
The
process of "counter eavesdropping"
or "bug sweeping" can either
by carried out by a professional organisation, often
for a substantial fee, or, if a business or other organisation
has sufficient expertise in the field, it can carry
out its own sweeping. In either case,
the cost of the sweep, or the cost
of the equipment required, is likely
to depend on the type of business, the physical size
and complexity - in terms of telephone systems, computer
systems, etc. - of the building(s) concerned, and the
type and level of threat(s) posed. A professional
sweep typically involves a physical search,
and survey, plus an electronic search, including transmission
and power lines.
If
an organisation wishes to carry out its own TSCM, any
number of professional-level devices is available. For
the detection of audio only transmissions, RF ("Radio
Frequency") detection meters are available, and,
nowadays, are typically capable of detecting frequencies
between 1MHz and 6GHz, therefore including the latest
4.2GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands.
Some detection meters feature a bar graph, or similar
display, which helps to determine the proximity of RF
transmissions, but are, nevertheless, small enough to
be worn, unobtrusively, for private detection. For audio
and video, a wireless camera detector, operating in
the frequency bands between 900MHz and 2.5GHz may be
more appropriate; such a detector locks onto any video,
and audio, signals in the immediate vicinity, and plays
them back, typically on a colour, TFT ("Thin Film
Transistor") LCD screen.
Do
bear in mind that some mobile broadband
activities, such as VoIP, or "Voice
over Internet Protocol", are not 100% secure, and
signals can be intercepted not only by cracking the
encryption, but by exploiting weaknesses in the sampling
and compression method employed
Its
sometimes very difficult to find a spy device if you
are unaware of exactly what you are looking for?
Spycraft
retail some of the finest & most advances bugging
systems on the world market so we have our finger on
the pulse when it comes to new tactics & techniques.
