MEMORANDUM
| DATE: | 11 JUL 2003 |
|---|---|
| FROM: | , Information Technology Division |
| TO: | Director, TFHT |
| SUBJECT: | Remote Access to TFHT-7 |
1. Per standing order, legacy terminal TFHT-7 cannot be powered down, moved, or opened. It still has no power source. It is still writing to its log. Nobody is typing.
2. Physical visits to the SCIF in Building 7 are no longer approved (see ). As directed, ITD has bridged the terminal's console to the Agency's public web server so that cleared personnel can reach it without entering the building.
3. To avoid attention, the terminal does not appear on any page. It lives in a directory named after the room it sits in, followed by an underscore, followed by the one thing every visitor to that room needs: access.
4. The directory is not linked from any page, is not listed in the sitemap, and has been excluded from search engines in the server's robots file. .
5. ITD reports that on first connection the terminal printed a line we did not send: . We have not been able to reproduce this.
