I am new to linux. And if you havent noticed I am into electronics. Fiber is a much more secure medium. And have you ever heard of FiberLANs it is an IEEE standard. This means that fiber NICs are used and fiber optic cable instead of coax or tp. How can what the medium be made out of determine how sniffable a network is. What makes fiber usually unsiffable is MULTIPLEXING spell it with me now M-U-L-T-I-P-L-E-X-I-N-G. All that you need to undo that nasty max-bandwidth using scheme that is also good for security is what is known as a multiplexer. Then the last thing you need is a way to get at the signal. With any other medium it is simple. But with fiber it is nearly unprecedented that a civilian can tap it, and yet it is fairly simple. Light is more ceseptible to dampeningg than electric signals across wire so you can easily be caught or the line can go down unless you amlify it.
So tell me again why I am lame and fiber is unsiffable. I was talking about Layer 1 security THE ORIGINAL TOPIC, in conjunction with long range connections like T1 lines.
You see that fiber security does not go past the physical layer so I dont know how you could thinlk that it is 'unsiffable' when the medium has nothing to do with that type of behavior since sniffing is higer up in the layers.
