"What, he saw them on a Skype call with Romerberg Marketplatz in the background?"
You can observe packets by tapping into a network.
White Hat hackers observed packet traffic going to and from the Frankfurt server to Stateside Dominion computers.
I wonder if the White Hats got a tip stating this might happen in order to be in place to monitor the packets. I can tap into a network but I can not observe packets from last week unless it was recorded somewhere (maybe NSA).
A network packet is divided into three parts; the header, payload and trailer, each containing values that are characteristic of it.
Header – The header contains the source address, a destination address, protocol, and packet number.
- Source address indicates where the packet is coming from
- Destination address points to the receiving IP address
- The protocol helps identify what type of packet is being transferred, whether it is an email, a web page, a video, etc.
- The packet number – each packet has two identifying numbers; the first indicating how many packets a piece of information was split into, and the second indicates the place of the individual packet as a part of the complete information.
Parts of a Network PacketWhite Hat hackers observed packet traffic going to and from the Frankfurt server to Stateside Dominion computers.And he said they couldn't confirm those packets came from Dominion.
He also was tracking traffic from dominionvoting.com which is the Dominion corporate website, not the voting machines. The tabulating machines aren't even connected to the internet and would have no reason to send data to Dominion corporate anyway.
It's this kind of nonsense, which takes 5 minutes to knock down, that makes Rudy's whole circus such a laughingstock.
Contrary to lying trolls on Free Republic, the vote tabulating machines ARE connected to the Internet.
How else did Dominion bring down a couple of voting machines in Georgia with "an overnight software update"...
