I meant all the stuff before that. oh, that? uh... let me check ohm, the Van Eck trick so, CRT monitors contain huge magnetic coils and, as such, they emit large amounbts of radiation Well, OK. so, using the Van Eck method, you can use a radio to recieve that radiation and, with the correct equipment, you can actually reassemble the iamge basicaly allowing you to watch the monitor from a distance, with no need to actually access it simply by monitoring the radiation it creates. anyway. LCD monitors don't create such fields, as they have no coil ss so Van Eck doesn't work on them Heh. I see. turns out, if you're close enough and have sensitive enough equipment, you can actually pick up the fields created by the CABLE. thus allowing you to eavesdrop on LCD monitors (un)fortunately, it's not as fast. it takes about a minute to capture a full image. so, if the content of the screen is changing, it's not useful
