T 5.40 Monitoring rooms using computers equipped<br />

with microphones<br />

Nowadays, many <strong>IT</strong> systems are equipped with microphones. <strong>The</strong> microphone<br />

on a computer connected to a network can be used by all persons who have<br />

access rights to the relevant device files (e.g. /dev/audio for UNIX and an<br />

entry in the registry for Windows NT). If these access rights are not granted<br />

carefully, unauthorised persons might be able to misuse the microphone for<br />

eavesdropping.<br />
