Be sure to check out the mentioned catalog. [1]

The NSA's capabilities back in 2008 were pretty astonishing: "RAGEMASTER" A $30 device that taps a VGA cable and transmits the contents of your screen to the NSA van sitting outside! Crazy stuff. Makes you wonder what they've built in the last 15 years.

Today you’ve got open access USB cable which can stream your shit out on WiFi, no doubt the NSA has worse.
