no, I have not read anything about Singapore government using it. Having said that, there is no question in my mind as to whether they have it or use it - given the perceived terrorism threat to Singapore, I'm confident all voip calls are not private.NoBob wrote:Has it been reported that it uses this software?

Not really. All traffic through Singapore is proxied, so they can see what sites you're accessing and what you're entering -- but torrents are highly fragmentary distributed streams of all sorts of random content, and basically impossible to casually keep track of.Splatted wrote:regarding torrents, it is now possible for the goverment to monitor exactly the sort of content you are downloading and it's nature.
Not true anymore jpatokal - have a read through that website I listed above. They can analyse the packets & easily determine it's a peer-to-peer transfer, including the ability to block those streams.jpatokal wrote: Not really.

I think the chinese government have adopted this software, (which I think is called 'narus' from memory,.. or that might be the software developers name?) so they can monitor skype and other voip calls.
edit: Narus is the name of the company
