Morse code.....good grief
I’d sure like to read about a dozen stories like this one every day. Iran won’t have the nuclear threat, but will sure like to play terrorist king of the planet.
With a good code hand and a 5 watt transmitter, you can swing a wire up a tree and communicate halfway around the world.
I have the transmitter. And the wire. My code sucks though.
I take it as this is what Iranian communications has been reduced to
I wouldn’t be surprised if OUR people in Iran are using similar tools. Sometimes simple is better.
“Sometimes simple is better”
You got that right.
Before computers when everything was hard copy, did you ever hear of millions of people getting their personal info stolen in a data breach?.....me either.
Related, from Turley (he’s always optimistic):
Israeli media has confirmed the death of Ali Larajani, one of the most senior Iranian security officials in the entire Islamic Republic. He was eliminated in a target strike as part of a sweeping Israeli and American operation against the regime’s leadership structure. The killing of Ali Larajani is one of the most devastating blows yet delivered to the Islamic Republic. Not merely because he was Iran’s de facto wartime leader and secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, but because he was the last figure in the regime’s inner circle with both the ideological credibility
and the strategic cunning to hold the fractured system together after Ayatollah Kmeni’s assassination.
With his death, there’s no longer any commanding figure capable of coordinating Iran’s military response, managing its fractured power structures or preventing the Islamic Republic from collapsing into the chaos it so long inflicted upon others.
Wonder what will happen to them. Bet they won’t have a judge release rhem on their on recognisance pending trial two years from now.
“Morse code.....good grief”
There’s always room for old school tech in the spy/terrorist business. As recently as 20 years ago I had a coworker at a USAF maintenance place that was an airman that just washed out of morse code school.
I suspect the US still has several of these people around yet just to intercept these transmissions, or computers capable of reading the messages.
In my day they were called “ditty boppers”, and I knew a hundred or so of them who were quite active. The people I worked for said the more modern and high tech communications become the easier they are to intercept.
My first job in the Army was as a “ditty bopper”. I could copy 20gpm but my sending sucked as I never really did much of it.
I’m sure “numbers stations” still exist to facilitate instructions to spy networks/cells.
Cankles' long underwear.
