How to Spy On Your Neighbors - Van Eck Phreaking

According to the guy who invented the short-wave radio demo that they have shown (see http://www.cl.cam.ac .uk/~mgk25/ih98-temp est.pdf), this even works with LCDs: http://www.cl.cam.ac .uk/~mgk25/pet2004-f pd.pdf

2003 just called... they want their copy of 'The Screensavers' back. This is old news folks.

I passed high-school physics. Having watched this clip I think my brain is bleeding. please, please, please, get someone to proof-read the script next time! P.S. The watch probably worked of light, not RF. P.P.S. A Faraday Cage is perfectly capable of shielding a transmitter (unless you've invented a monopole that is :-) Of course, the power cables make ideal transmission lines, and they pass through the cage ...

m*soft had a watch that worked almost the same way you would just put the watch up to the screen and it would download to the watch using the waves and bars

The copper mesh box is called a Faraday cage by physicists. But it does not work as described in the video. The electric field inside the cage will be zero, therefore a radio inside won't pick up a signal from the outside. But it does not work the opposite way: a radio signal produced inside the cage will not be stopped by the cage. Enclosing the monitor would therefore have no effect. Its electric signal could still be received outside the cage.

pretty old...who uses CRTs anymore?

No shit this is old, I remember watching this on Tech TV 3 years ago on Christmas day when they played like every episode of "Call For Help". I think it's funny how no one seems to say anything about Leo Laport(SP?)

The UK TV Licensing agency drives around in vans with these gadgets, checking on people who do not pay for a TV Licence. If you're watching TV without a licence they've just caught you red-handed without entering your property. LCD televisions FTW!

Red Hat Linux. Heh

5MIN does nothing but pay to go popular on Digg - and Digg doesn't care
