Telecom(munications) / Mise sur écoute
English term or phrase: Hard tap
Il s'agit d'un extrait de roman se déroulant dans le Chicago des années 1970.
Un personnage parle de "hard tap" (ou hard wiretap), et voici la définition qu'on m'en a donnée : a hard tap is a wiretap device placed directly on one’s telephone inside one’s house, and therefore potentially detectable.
Je sais qu'i_l s'agit d'une mise sur écoute, mais je n'arrive pas à trouver de définitions plus précises que celle-là. Merci si vous avez des idées :)

(dispositif d') écoute esclave


Explanation:
A/c to this, a hard tap does not require access to the actual phone, simply to the phone line.

"Hardwired Wiretap. A Hardwired Wiretap entails gaining physical access to a section of wire that the signal (i.e. telephone line) travels on. Usually, a second set of wires is attached (normally through the use of an isolation or slave device), the signal is then bridged back to a secure location. This type of wiretap when discovered is fairly easy to trace back to the listening post. it is a very common method that is used by law enforcement agents and is usually outside the scope of most eavesdroppers. If the eavesdropper is using a "slave" or similar isolation device on a telephone, the tap will be virtually impossible for anyone to detect"

"Si vous entendez une tonalité sourde, faible mais continue, cela suggère que quelqu’un a branché un dispositif d’écoute « esclave » sur votre ligne téléphonique."

"Ce que tu veux créer c'est une écoute esclave parallèle. حسنا ما تحتاجين تكوينه هو شريط تنصت بديل"

Asker: Merci ! Sachant que l'action se déroule dans les années 70, j'ignore si on parlait déjà de téléphone fixe ?
