The Newbie's Guide To Detecting The NSA

Do a tracert to see if the NSA is sniffing your data.

Decider: Admin

so is there a way to prevent routing through, say, *.att.net?

I expect though that it's done at a level outside of the control of an individual pc. (done at the ISP level perhaps?)

It's likely that if your ISP isn't ATT and the endpoint you're contacting isn't ATT, that none of you're traffic will pass through their network.

But if you're paranoid, and you should be, strong encryption is your best bet.

Perhaps the most interesting -- and, in retrospect, obvious -- point Marcus makes is that AT&T customers aren't the only ones apparently being tapped. 'Transit' traffic originating with one ISP and destined for another is also being sniffed if it crosses AT&T's network. Ironically, because the taps are installed at the point at which that network connects to the rest of the world, the safest web surfers are AT&T subscribers visiting websites hosted on AT&T's network. Their traffic doesn't pass through the splitters.

They would have a meep of a time decrypting the comings and goings of my packets,which happens to be many many gigs a day.

If you want to output your tracert to a .txt file just do it like this.

tracert 'domain' > tracert.txt

Thats how I always jew my provider for discounts of my monthly bill if I notice something awry.I save it to a text file and email it to them. :/
