The Surveillance Catalog: Where governments get their tools.

Documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal open a rare window into a 
new global market for the off-the-shelf surveillance technology that has 
arisen in the decade since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The techniques described in the trove of 200-plus marketing documents 
include hacking tools that enable governments to break into people’s 
computers and cellphones, and "massive intercept" gear that can gather 
all Internet communications in a country.
