encryption scanners

[ofd8001]

It wouldn't be the first time that someone has confused "digital" signals as being "encrypted" signals.

Uniden can't sell scanners that will let you listen to encrypted radio transmissions because they would not be approved by the FCC.

What do you mean? It's on the internet, therefore it's true!

Dude you're wrong!!! It's been making headline news on CNN. Usually around 4 am......

Or was it The Onion! I'm confused, but either way I saw it somewhere.

Yep, must been on CNN, Wolf Blitzer The Situation Room. Center for breaking news, and extraordinary reports from around the world. Hm?

All scanners can receive encryption. They just don't decrypt it

That is the most precise response to the initial query. Kudos.

I am aware of someone who has spent a lot of tax $$ on their encryption system. Its not going to be defeated easily by a scanner . Governments all over the world have spy agencies with huge budgets and lots of hardware just to crack encryption, these people are not stupid they are experts and they need these type of tools just to make a realistic attempt. Modern systems such as AES are not going to be cracked by someone playing on a computer in the basement.

To decode an encrypted transmission you need to know both the key and how it is encrypted. Without either of these your stopped. I agree this is not the proper forum to discuss encryption. If anyone is really really interested in the topic... start a new thread in the right forums. Some of us will be happy to go over the basics. NO you wont be able to decrypt anything but at least you will learn what encryption is and basically how it works. And why those in the know say its not going to be easy to bypass.

As far as facebook etc is concerned its typical internet bunk. Not only would someone need to figure out how to bypass the encryption they would also need to figure out how to decompile the firmware, write the new code into the firmware recompile the firmware add the right header so the scanner would accept the update and then compress it to the format the scanner processor wants to see.

Last time I felt like that I was watching an episode of Bevis and Butthead. I could feel myself getting stupider the longer I watched.

What is wrong with you guys? The Russians have invented a MicroSD card that goes into a scanner and instantly decrypts any system in the US.
In fact when Trump and Putin met for the secret meeting in front of 80 people at G20 Trump was trading some Manhattan Real Estate for a couple of the Russian SD cards.

I understand they also make a USB thing you can attach to the scanner to intercept hillarys emails.

If uniden or Whistler made one,they'd sell a million in one day.Buy their stock if this happens!

I have some ocean front investment property for you in Alberta... great returns... so you can buy that scanner when it comes out
