About the Anti-Tempest Project:

The Anti-Tempest project is a collaborated effort by associates of the Nettwerked.net collective to create a fully functional / operational, "secure" anti-emanation computer using Canadian Government-certified / CSE (Communications Security Establishment) and Ontario Hydro-approved tempest equipment. Originally this machine (with a 386SX processor, and custom-made and well labelled parts) was picked up from Government Surplus Sales in Edmonton Alberta in the mid-1990's by Cyb0rg/asm. After years of dragging this extremely heavy and fairly large computer around, he got sick of it and gave it to The Clone as a present for his 20th birthday in hopes he might have more use for it. Well, it's been a couple of years and after sitting on this project for too long, The Clone is finally getting the proverbial ball rolling with the help of the official building team (H1D30u5, Kankraka, Wizbone) and making this Anti-Tempest computer into more than a glorified paper-weight.

Sub-Projects:

Bulletin Board System:
Once the machine is built and running to our satisfaction, we anticipate installing BBS software and allowing the public to enjoy the fruits of our labour. The BBS (that will likely be running Citadel/UX) will contain all that jazz you loved about your favorite old school bulletin boards; games, articles, live-chat, archives of "stuff" (no warez - we have to keep it legal), and anything else our users can think of. If you have suggestions and ideas that would be cool to incorporate into the anti-tempest BBS, please let me know and we may just consider it.

Tempest RF-leakage Testing:
Eventually we will want to call on the hacker community in the Edmonton area to help test the remote over-the-air integrity of the Tempest machine.

Fun:

A "Temp"-cam watching the Tempest machine at all times. Refreshing several times daily.
