Monitoring electromagnetic pulse emanations from PCs and CRTs provides a hacker with that
significant advantage?
A.

B.

C.

D.

Explanation:
Tempest equipment is implemented to prevent intruders from picking up information
through the airwaves with listening devices. – Shon Harris All-in-one CISSP Certification Guide pg
192. In Harris’s other book CISSP PASSPORT, she talks about tempest in terms of spy movies
and how a van outside is listening or monitoring to the activities of someone. This lends credence
to the answer of C (trespassing) but I think D is more correct. In that all the listener must do is
listen to the RF. Use your best judgment based on experience and knowledge.
Going to have to disagree here – Is that a form of active monitoring, or is it passive? If it’s passive I’ll go with C. But if it’s active, it’s close between C and D.
