Just tap a repeater and deal with encryption later.
- bigiain 2y agoAs I understand it (being nothing more than a Google expert on the subject), the repeaters aren't the sort of thing you can just "tap". They don't decode and re encode any data, they don't even "see" the raw encrypted data as such, they're just specially doped sections of fibre with pump lasers that amplify the optical signals. The "Get pumped" section of this page has an almost ELI5 overview: https://hackaday.com/2023/08/08/under-the-sea-optical-repeaters-for-submarine-cables/ https://hackaday.com/2023/08/08/under-the-sea-optical-repeat...
