Quote from: ~o~WaterWalker~o~ on September 08, 2013, 02:28 amWhat if you put up a horrendous 300 baud BBS and started a Burlap Road? (opposite of silk..lol)even if it stayed small and low-tech would the NSA be able to do anything besides know that phone number has a BBS on it or can they snoop keywords off that traffic too? I think CP used to use them pretty recently but I don't remember if the Feds had to get a tip off and infiltrate the site, send the SWAT team to the server, or they can just sit back and read all the traffic clear as day these daysdamn I miss the 80s when it was still a wildwestBurlap Road?!~ ROFL. +1 Just for that. As soon as the site came to the attention of the authorities, it would be taken down, They don't need the NSA for this... all they need is the site's phone number, and the telco can give 'em the address. Furthermore, IIRC, Fido and other BBS software had no equivalent to SSH/SSL -- everything travelled across the wire in the clear. Busting such a site would be trivial. While it's fun to reminisce about the older tech, it's no longer practical for stuff like this.
