An Advanced Manual

Compiled By Ralph D. Thomas

 

This is a rundown on utilizing high tech gear and methods to conduct professional countermeasures. We are going to start with a detailed run down on the use of one of the most popular basic countermeasures kits, the CPM-700. After going through an explanation use and testing functions of this piece of equipment, we will cover some other typical gear and methods needed to conduct professional countermeasures services. You'll also find material in this article on going way above and beyond mere eavesdropping detection and approaching it as an overall information security and investigative service which opens up many avenues of additional income for you. I like to think of this as hidden opportunities that provide valuable services for your clients and help you grow your business with additional add-on services at the same time. However, before we go into the proper approaches for hidden opportunity, let us first review a major piece of really professional equipment. I have chosen the CPM-700 because of it's superior quality and functions compared to many of the other types of countermeasures gear in it's class on the market place today. By reviewing this, you'll get a basic grasp of basic countermeasures services at a minimum level needed today in the business world. At the end of this extensive article, I have also included many other articles you can read concerning the countermeasures business and countermeasures as a professional service.

 

 

OVERALL REVIEW OF THE CPM-700 COUNTERMEASURES UNIT

 

 

The CPM-700 is a broadband receiver designed to detect and locate all major types of electronic surveillance devices including room, phone, body bugs, video transmitters, and tape recorders. It can also be used to perform countermeasures checks on telephones and telephone lines (even multi-line telephone systems), electrical outlet testing for carrier current eavesdropping, IR (INFRARED) audio carrier tests, laser carriers and microwave detection as well as video camera detection. It will also help detect acoustic leakage problems in relationship to walls, pipes and air ducts, perform tests of unknown wiring , perform sweeps of vehicles for bumper beepers and tracking devises and perform computer tempest comparison tests.

 

The CPM-700 sweep kit includes a custom Cordura case that contains all items necessary to conduct a professional sweep. Broadband receivers such as the CPM-700 provide a very important cost-effective tool for professional sweep teams, government security personnel, and private citizens with important security needs. The CPM-700 is very effective for rapidly detecting and locating transmitted signals, while being very easy to learn to use. There are several "copies" of the CPM-700 on the market because of it's success as a product. While some of the copies may be cheaper, they do not provide the frequency performance and sensitivity nor the massive extended options available with CPM-700. We guarantee it!

 

The CPM 700 will uncover hidden devices and all major categories of electronic surveillance- quickly, easily and silently with five of the most desired sweep functions built into one package:

 

Room, phone and body bugs that are transmitting your conversations.

Video transmitters watching your every move.

Vehicle tracking beepers giving away your location.

 

Infinity bugs, hook switch by-pass or reversals "turned-on" to your conversation.

 

Computer, Fax or Telex transmitters "reading" your information.

Wired microphones listening inside a wall.

 

Even at high security levels where a spectrum analyzer may be employed, the CPM700 is an invaluable tool for detecting ultra-sophisticated frequency hopping and "burst" bugs. The ALARM MONITOR MODE protects you after a sweep by continuously checking for new devices brought in, remote control activation, near-by two-way communications and phone line tampering. RECORD ON TAPE while you are away storing evidence of sounds of an eavesdropper installing a bug or tap, noises of an intruder "snooping" in your office or unauthorized usage of your equipment.

FIFTEEN MAJOR DETECTION FUNCTIONS YOU SHOULD HAVE

 

DETECTION FUNCTION ONE RF SWEEPING

RF sweeping is done quickly, easily and silently with the CPM-700 by attaching the RF probe. The RF probe provides rapid and silent spectrum coverage from 200Hz to over 3GHz with no holes or gaps. Due to superior sensitivity, the CPM-700 can locate even a low powered bug down to 1 microwatt.The sweep range and sensitivity in R.F. mode will also detect video transmitters. Also, due to it's high sensitivity, The CPM-700 will detect snuggled bugs as well as burst transmission bugs while transmitting.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION TWO PHONE LINE R.F. SWEEP

Extremely easy to use to check phones and phone lines in the R.F. sweep mode function much like an induction coil with the R.F. probe. The operator simply shortens the RF antenna probe to about four inches and wraps the curly cord of the handset around the antenna at least four turns. The test is then done on hook and off hook and the readings compared to normal room levels. While off hook, the bargraph should move no more than two segments

 

Further testing can be conducted in the same manner by keeping the probe on the sides and around the telephone itself (without contact) Again, check the readings, levels and audio between on hook and off hook.

 

The same procedure can be employed around the area the telephone wire enters the wall.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION THREE TELEPHONE LINE TESTING

With the Modular Telephone Line Testing Jack and the Line Probe, all wire pairs can be checked on a telephone system to determine if it's clear of eavesdropping. The unit will work on both single line and multi-line telephones. NOTE: Even a single line telephone system has four wires of which only two are actually used. With the Modular Telephone Line Testing Jack, you can check ALL wire pairs for possible audio bugging on BOTH single and mult-line phones.

 

It's important for the operator to understand the tip and ring of the telephone wiring (usually red and green wiring). On a single line telephone, you'll note that the telephone wire has four wires. The other two wires are usually just extra wiring and should be checked.

 

On the Telephone Modular Jack, you'll note the following numbers on each side of the jack

 

RIGHT SIDE

5

6

7

8

 

LEFT SIDE

4

3

2

1

 

A) Using the auxiliary output, plug in the input patch cord into the side of the CPM-700 with the two alligator clips. The CPM-700 Will automatically toggle over to auxiliary input mode.

 

B) Attach the Modular Telephone Testing Adapter in between the telephone unit and the telephone modular jack. The telephone line coming from the telephone jack plugs into the top of the Modular Telephone Testing Banjo. The line coming from the telephone itself plugs into the other side. In the event of a single line telephone system, four line telephone wiring needs to be used. If the phone line has more than four incoming lines, use the supplied multi-line cord and the supplied telephone line cord attached to the telephone.

 

C) Now you have the Modular Telephone Testing Adapter on the telephone line between the telephone and the telephone modular jack.

 

Tip and ring will be the numbers

5

4

 

Attach the alligator clips to these two points numbered on the Modular Telephone Adapter. When you pick up the headset of the telephone, you should hear a dial tone and room audio from your sound source. Check the line on hook. If you obtain audio while the on hook test is being conducted, further checking and inspection needs to be done--it could be a hook switch bypass wiretap.

 

On a single line telephone, the next two numbers up from 5 and 4 are:

 

3

6

 

On multi-line telephone systems, more wire pairs are, of course, used. All combinations of wire pairs need to be checked to make sure none of the wires are being used to transmit audio.

 

 

DETECTION FUNCTION FOUR HOOKSWITCH BYPASS TESTING

With the included adapters, you can conduct a hookswitch bypass test (and modification to the telephone itself that turns the headset microphone into a bug) and other telephone equipment testing. (see above)

 

DETECTION FUNCTION FIVE

ELECTRICAL OUTLET CARRIER CURRENT TESTING

With the VLF probe you can quickly, easily and silently test all electrical outlet for carrier current eavesdropping.Carrier current transmitters use the AC power lines for transmission path. A good example of such a devise would be the FM wireless intercom systems sold through electronics dealers such as Radio Shack. BY simply plugging the VLF probe into the probe input jack of the CPM-700 and plugging the two prongs into any electrical outlet, you can quickly and easily check all outlets.

 

 

DETECTION FUNCTION SIX ELECTRONIC DEVISES

Using a combination of the line probe and and the included plug conversion patch cord, you can test anything that plugs into an electrical outlet for eavesdropping devises. The included plug conversion plugs into the auxiliary input jack on the side of the unit and the CPM-700 converts itself over to auxiliary input. The patch cord line can be configured to plug anything with a standard electric plug into the CPM unit for testing.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION SEVEN IR (INFRARED) TESTING

IR is an invisible light source and a common way in which audio can be carried from any premises. The IR probe can be used inside the premises to detect IR beams with audio.

 

Infrared methods of evesdopping gives the eavesdropper a very useful transmission medium which can not be detected by standard R.F. detectors. Although there are limitations and disadvantages such as high current consumption and pinpointed line of sight needed for pickup, it's a popular method of audio eavesdropping. The IR probe can be used to sweep a room just like the RF probe is used. Pay special attention to line of sight paths that could go through windows.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION EIGHT VIDEO CAMERA DETECTION

Sweeping for the presence of video cameras is becoming increasingly important. The magnetic leakage probe will detect and locate hidden video cameras. It must be pointed out that the magnetic detection probe that can be used in this manner needs to get extremely close to the video camera to register a reading so a much slower paced sweep needs to be conducted.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION THREE NINE RECORDER DETECTION

Sweeping for the presence of hidden tape recorders is also becoming increasingly important. The magnetic leakage probe will detect and locate hidden tape recorders. Again, It must be pointed out that the magnetic detection probe that can be used in this manner needs to get extremely close to a recorder to register a reading so a much slower paced sweep needs to be conducted.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION TEN UNKNOWN WIRE TESTING

The source of unknown wires found in a physical inspection are sometimes problemistic on a countermeasures sweep but not with the CPM-700. Using the auxiliary input plug and patch cords, you can easily, quickly and silently check any wire you find for audio.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION ELEVEN OUTSIDE LASER BEAM DETECTION

Using the IR Probe, it's quite easy to go around the outside of the building to detect any lasers that may be pointed at the windows of the building.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION TWELVE ACOUSTIC LEAKAGE DETECTION

It is quite common place for eavesdropping to occur without the aid of any electronic devises at all and it often due to the acoustic characteristics of the building. The Acoustic Leakage Probe can be used to check walls, vents and pipes that could create possible acoustic leakage problems. Once detected, additional countermeasures procedures can be recommended in the form of Acoustic noise generators injected in a strategic manner.

DETECTION FUNCTION THIRTEEN VEHICLE TRACKING DEVICES

The CPM-700 will detect and locate R.F. tracking transmitters which are used to follow vehicles. The typical "bumper Beeper" will employ a minimum output of 100 milliwatts to more than 5 watts and usually have a pulsed output.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION FOURTEEN

COMPUTER TEMPEST COMPARISON

The CPM-700 can be used to compare emissions from Tempest Approved Equipment.

 

DETECTION FUNCTION FIFTEEN AUTOMATIC MONITOR MODE

The CPM-700 can be placed on automatic monitor mode once a sweep has been conducted and detect and alarm you to any changes while one is away.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT PROBES

 

THE RF PROBE

The RF probe searches for RF bugs and performs a room sweep. It can also be used like an induction coil to check telephones and telephone jacks. (Standard With Basic Unit)

 

THE VLF PROBE

The URF probe plugs into electrical outlets to search for carrier current eavesdropping devices.

(Standard With Basic Unit)

 

MODULAR TELEPHONE JACK

AND LINE PROBE

The line probe plugs into the auxiliary output of the CPM-700. It can be used to check any unknown wires to test for possible eavesdropping. The Modular Telephone Jack can be used to test all wire pairs on a telephone and telephone line (even multi-line phones) for audio. (Line Probe Is Standard With basic Equipment-Modular Telephone Tester is $95.00 separately or standard with Ultra Unit)

 

IR PROBE

The IR probe is designed to sniff for infrared light sources, a common way of carrying audio. IR Probe is $295.00 separately or standard and included with the CPM-700 Ultra)

 

VIDEO CAMERA AND

TAPE RECORDER PROBE

The Video Camera And Tape Recorder Detector probe will detect hidden video cameras and tape recorders. This Probe is $295.00 separately or standard and included with the CPM-700 Ultra)

 

ACOUSTIC LEAKAGE PROBE

The Acoustic Leakage Probe is designed to be used to check for acoustic leakage (a very common form of eavesdropping) by checking other sides of walls, pipes and air ducts for acoustic leakage of room audio. This Probe is $295.00 separately or standard and included with the CPM-700 Ultra)

There are a number of products on the market today that can be utilized to mask sound and defeat eavesdropping. The Audio Jammer is an inexpensive white noise generator that can be used in a meeting room that is very hard to filter. This is somewhat problemistic in that voices need to talk below the range of the Audio Jammer. The Portable Noise Generator can be used to inject walls and air ducts with white noise that can not be filtered. The Acoustic Noise Generator System is a non-portable nistalled system that injects walls and acoustic ceiling with noise defeating any covert eavesdropping attempts.

 

PROPER APPROACHES AND HIDDEN OPPORTUNITY IN
COUNTERMEASURES SERVICES

 

PHYSICAL INSPECTION
Careful physical inspection of everything in the room needs to be conducted and it should be pointed out that countermeasures is a whole lot more than just knowing how to utilize a piece of equipment. Baseboards need to be examined carefully and the carpet pulled back to search for hidden wires (a common place to hide wires for eavesdropping) UV lights will help you quickly determine alterations in the form of dry wall patches and carpet pullbacks. Acoustic tile ceilings need to be taken out and inspected.

TELEPHONE/ELECTRICAL JACK COVERS
All telephone and electrical jack covers need to be removed and inspected. A fiberscope can be used to look inside the areas. Once physical inspection is made, the covers can be replaced and the head screws marked with a UV pen. Detection with a UV light for tampering can then be done.

 

 

OTHER TYPICAL EQUIPMENT USED IN A COUNTERMEASURES SWEEP

UV LIGHTS AND MARKING PENS

UV lights can be used as revealed above to detect any tampering. UV marking pens can be used as you take phone jacks, electrical outlets, wall sockets, switches, telephones and other devises apart and put them back together. You simply mark the head screw position with the UV pen. Once done, further inspection is not as time consuming as all one has to do is check the screw head marks with a UV light to see if they are in the same place.

FLASH LIGHTS
Flash lights small and large needs to be obtained to look in dark corners inside jack plates and electrical outlets and for inspection in the hidden space in most office building above the acoustic tiled ceilings.

FIBERSCOPE OR BORESCOPE
These units let you place a flexible optic rod inside space for viewing and have an optical viewer on the other end. They are must have equipment to inspect areas you could not inspect without them.

VOLTAGE METER AND MULTI-METER
Various tests of the telephone line and electrical devises should be checked with a voltage meter to determine voltage and line balance testing. Ted Swift's book Wiretap Detection Techniques reveals a number of simple tests you can conduct with a voltage meter to check telephne lines. A countermeasures professional without a good

OTHER TELEPHONE TESTING GEAR
There is a range of other telephone testing gear on the market from the inexpensive to the higher priced. The Tap Trap is a single line telephone testing unit that can be very useful. The Advanced Telephone Analyzer With Time Domain Reflectometer is a very high tech piece of equipment you should review. The TE-4200 Telephone Analyzer is an unit that can be used to test and then continually monitor a telephone line. Most really professional countermeasures people make a recommendation to the CEO of a small company that he or she obtain a single line telephone coming into his office which can then utilize continuous line monitors such as the TE-4200 Telephone Analyzer.

DENTAL MIRRORS
dental mirrors also also extremely helpful for inspection of areas you can not get to with the naked eye.

CD-PLAYER SOUND SOURCE
A good sound source is needed that you bring into the building. A portable CD player or tape recorder is best used. If you use a radio, you take the chance of finding that radio station on your sweep which could cause problems.

TONE GENERATOR LINE TRACER
A tone generator and line tracer is simply a tone generating unit that plugs into the telephone line or wall outlet. You can then use the tone generated to find or ID that line anywhere with the tone probe pickup simply by getting it close to the line.

COVERT POCKET BUG DETECTOR
Before the actual countermeasures sweep starts, a walk through is usually conducted. As the countermeasures professional approaches the premises and as he or she does his walkthrough, it's wise to utilize a covert pocket bug detector that will viberate in your pocket as you appraoch the area to be swept and walk through it. There is a lot of junk on the market. However, one of the better units for this type of thing is the Trantec Executive. This high tech unit will function as a conventional countermeasures sweeping unit and can be turned into another mode for covert viberation detection and is small enough to fit into your pocket.

SPECTRUM ANALYZER
In order to really analyze any RF signals in the spectrum, you'll need a good Spectrum Analyzer to do so. Conducting countermeasures services without a good specturm analyzer is kind of like trying to run a computer without a computer screen. The computer will run but you sure can not see anything!

CLIENT RECOMMENDATIONS

A written report needs to be given to your client concerning your sweep and recommendations need to be given. The assignment needs to be approached in this manner as an information security survey. There are several important aspects of this type of thing you should consider. Remember, you are providing a security service to the client above and beyond the mere sweeping of offices. Various types of equipment can be offered to the client in your recommendations for a highly level of information security. In order to illustrate this point better, here are some recommendations from a recent assignment.

Recommendations Example

 

A) EXTRA TELEPHONE WIRING: There is a massive array of dominate telephone wires in the ceiling that went to previous businesses in the building. These could easily be turned into a carrier for eavesdropping. These wires need to be fried and/or disabled.

 

B) DORMANT SPEAKERS: There are dominate speaker systems in the ceiling that could easily be used as an audio carrier. They should be disabled to the point in which the speakers can not function.

 

C) CEO SECURE PHONE: It is recommended that the corporation obtain a single line isolated telephone in the CEO's office connected to a TE-4200 and use of portable voice scrambling for telephone security for highly sensitive telephone conversations.

 

D) TIME SENSITIVE SETUP WASTE MATERIAL: An extra secured trash disposal method needs to be set up for high security mailings such as political print jobs which needs to be stored and locked until the job is mailed. This would prevent the opposition from obtaining setup printing trash from these jobs before they are mailed.

 

E) CROSS-CUT PAPER SHREDDERS: Cross-cut paper shredders should be obtained for the shredding of sensitive documents and notes.

 

F) ESTIMATOR COMPUTER: The job estimator's computer needs to be isolated and secured. Encryption software needs to be used.

 

G) DIGITAL PRE-PRESS COMPUTERS: Norton utility file wipe security software needs to be used.

 

H) TELEPHONE JUNCTION BOX ROOM: The telephone junction box room needs to be locked and secured.

 

I) PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING: A standardized method of pre-employment screening and background check procedure needs to be employed for new employees.

 

J) CEO'S OFFICE: The CEO's office needs to be locked when the CEO is not on site.

 

K) ACOUSTIC NOISE GENERATORS: A blanket of acoustic noise generating for the conference room and the CEO's office needs to be considered.

 

L) It is recommended that other sensitive offices be swept.

 

M) It is recommended that ongoing sweeps be conducted at least every 90 days especially during political season.

 

N) Informed Security Of Staff Members And Signed Documents: A meeting should be held with key staff members to explain what is considered company trade secrets. A signed form should be developed and signed by staff members that states that the release to third parties of company trade secrets is a violation of federal law. A copy of the form should be kept in the staff member's personnel file.

By making needed recommendations, you are providing your client will a much higher value for information security which is something the company really needs. You are also giving yourself more opportunity at the same time. Note in the above example that you have recommended that your client obtain the following equipment and services:

Acoustic Noise Generator
Cross-Cut Paper Shredders
Norton Utilities For Computer Security
Computer Security Work
TE-4200 Continuous Single Line Monitor
Portable Telephone Scramblers
Security Locks For Doors
Periodic Sweeping of Offices
Pre-Employment Screening

By making recommendations, you have a good chance of the client acting on many of the recommendations and utilizing additional services, installation and sales of the equipment. You have also recommended periodic sweeping which means that you have either a good change to obtain an ongoing contract with the client or sales and training of equipment to do it in-house. Moreover, you have recommended pre-employment screening services of new employees which you could offer yourself or make recommendations to others who specialize in pre-employment investigation.

OTHER RELATED TIPS ON CONDUCTING COUNTERMEASURES OPERATIONS WITH MORE HIDDEN OPPORTUNITY

THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM: Many modern offices have various types of multi-line telephone systems and the overwhelming majority of these systems where sold and installed by private individual companies. it's important for you to get with these installers and even help you with your assignment. It's also important to obtain a clean phone (an extra phone) from the system involved so you can take that phone apart and compare it to what has already been put in use.

LOCKSMITH SERVICES: Since many companies doesn't have the proper security locks, it's important for you to make contact with locksmithing companies (honest ones) which you can recommend. Some countermeasures services have obtained their own locksmithing license in order to offer locksmithing services as part of their overall services while others simply contract with a local honest locksmith.

BURGLAR ALARM COMPANIES: Centralized burglar alarm companies are abundant and it's usually a good recommendation to recommend one. By getting with these services, you could easily set yourself up as an independent sales rep for them and make a commission off of selling burglar alarm systems. It's important to point out however, that wires that go to burglar alarm systems can and are being used for illegal eavesdropping. When such lines are found on a premises, they need to be checked. Some countermeasures and information security companies have managed to become dealers of burglar alarm equipment themselves. In most states, a state license is needed to do this type of thing.

 

PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING SERVICES: Many professional countermeasures services offer pre-employment screening services as it's often a recommendation and needed service in the overall information security of a company. Background checks of incoming and new employees should be an important part of overall company security for just about any company. You can utilize material and aids such as The Guide To Background Investigations to offer such services.

OTHER INVESTIGATIVE AND SECURITY SERVICES: Most medium sized and large companies will need additional investigative and security services from time to time. Many companies will sooner or later need Employee And Internal Theft Investigations. Some will require Executive Protection Services from time to time especially with the increasing amount of world travel going on in the business world these days. The owners of businesses are usually more likely to need the services of a professional private investigator from a personal standpoint than the average individual.
