> One of my favorite elements of The Laundry Files series, is the old spook who only uses a Memex machine because of van Eck phreaking.
There is a scene in Neal Stephensons novel Cryptonomicon (1999), where the protagonist accesses his laptops data by manipulating the scroll-lock LED using Morse-code, as he is fairly certain he is being van-eck phreaked.
When I read about Van Eck Phreaking in that book I thought for sure it was just some nonsense for the book. Couldn't believe it was real. That book was pretty amazing. It's hard to believe a book about cryptocurrency was released all the way back in 1999.
