Tony is working with a law enforcement agency to place a wiretap pursuant to a legitimate court order. The wiretap will monitor communications without making any modifications. What type of wiretap is Tony placing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Passive Wiretap

Explanation:

Wiretapping is the preferred method of obtaining intelligence (for quality reasons), it involves tying into a wire or other conductor that is used for communications. This wire can be a telephone line, a PBX cable, a local area network, a CCTV video system, an alarm system, or any other communications medium. The goal in a wiretapping is to secure high quality information, and to minimise the possibility of the eavesdropping being detected (remember radiated signals are easy to detect).

Passive Wiretapping is a type of wiretapping that is not active but rather attempts merely to observe the traffic flow to gain desired knowledge,  but does not alter or otherwise affect that flow.
