Technology Used
Technology most commonly used for a bug sweep includes but is not limited to:
- Multimeters for general measurements of power supplies and device components.
- Time-domain reflectometer (TDR) for testing the integrity of copper telephone lines and other communication cables.
- Frequency scanner with a range of antennas and filters for checking the electromagnetic spectrum for signals that should not be there.
- Oscilloscope for visualisation of signals.
- Spectrum analyzer and vector signal analyzer for more advanced analysis of threatening and non threatening RF signals.
- Nonlinear junction detector (NLJD) for detection of components associated with hidden eavesdropping devices.
- Portable x-ray machine for checking the inside of objects and walls.
- Computer security devices and tools for computer-related threats.
- Tools for manual disassembling of objects and walls in order to visually check their content. This is the most important, most laborious, least glamorous and hence most neglected part of a check.
- Thermal imaging helps find hot spots and areas higher in temperature than the ambient area temperature. Finds heat generated from active electronic components.
- Flashlight one of the most important tools to have beside a ladder for providing a competent sweep.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
