Haha, incredible.
On a more serious note this is a really cool idea. Would be interesting to listen to the same origin traffic in different network conditions to hear things like TCP rate control.
`cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp`
sudo tcpdump -i "eth0" -w - -U | aplay -f S16_LE -r 44100
- an IP address,
- an email address,
- a phone number,
- a SIM card's MSIN
- a person's social security number,
- a national ID card number,
- a passport number,
- a social media handle etc.
(elsewhere also known as "accessor", "key", "handle" or "index")
I've been trying to stop anything too terrible from happening by asking them to clarify their business requirements, e.g. what should happen when there is malicious impersonation, or the expected result should be when inconsistencies and overlaps exist.
It's not like there's no value to the data... but I'm afraid they don't really understand the problem are are hoping the magic computer can somehow *poof* garbage into fine cuisine.
If you read The Idea Factory, it shows that AT&T leadership worked closely with NSA and other governmental agencies (on a "secret schedule" so nobody would know who the execs were meeting with) to help them access US phone data.
I'd love to know the extent of what NSA has done between its founding and today; I'm sure they've pulled off some astounding things, and bolluxed up other stuff badly.
On the other hand there are hundreds of companies nobody has ever heard of that do buy, collate, clean, and sell access to the data that apps, browser extensions, windows apps, loyalty card programs, branded credit cards, retailers, and companies that scrape LinkedIn etc will happily sell.
You provide what you have and for a price these “enrichment” services will provide what is essentially a dossier of everything that can be even remotely inferred from the thousands of datapoints they have based on your email/name/phone.
What most people think big tech is doing is actually being done in ways that are far more unsettling by companies with cutesy names and vague services that major companies sign contracts with to improve their signal to noise ratio.

Click through, and you'll find a more expensive version that is shipped to the US. It's called TariffBox.
From [1]. This nomenclature was also used way before CSS even existed; in SQL.

Realistically speaking, it's hogwash because you'd have to profile all "loopback" traffic and whatnot, but in theory, with enough time and effort, that dastardly stream of bits could be heard, I guess. The circuit board itself though has quite a bit of punning in it.
Also... If they really want on your databus, they will get on your databus. After a certain point, cost is not an issue.
Its nice to know that if I ever get around to shipping a product with RTP-Midi (MIDI over Ethernet), I can just get a ready-made Eurorack module to do that testing! :P
By making loops of different speeds, one could even make basic tones and crude music.
The video really brought back memories of those sounds :)
When a call came in, before the phone would ring, the radio would emit this very clear tri di di dit dah dah. But only when the phone was very near the radio.
All have these agencies. All could/did meet your other criteria now or at different recent periods.
Overall, why should they give a shit what you think on the topic either?
As for giving a shit, those who allow themselves to be wilfully ruled by war criminals always become their final victim, so you should give a little more than a shit, yo.
And if you count the last 100 years, not just 20ish then Germany has a lot of notoriety on that front, as does Russia.
Frankly, they both make the US look like total amateurs.
No matter how much everyone sings kum-ba-ya, nations have too many important reasons to spy, and very few real reasons not to. Even on allies.
‘Trust but verify’, eh?
How easily Americans forget that they massacred 5% of Iraqs population in cold blood, and then proceeded to wreak havoc in countless other states in the region.
And then, there's the human rights violations. No other nation violates human rights at massive scale like the USA and its minions. By a HUGE scale.
