"Writing about the future, I have a vested interest in there being a future for me to write about."
- John Brunner

Network Monitoring Detection  
  Detection of someone monitoring your computer workstation  

The evidence began with a slowed response at her computer terminal. Someone was monitoring. Whoever had taken her bait wanted to make sure she was expendable...

The microsecond delay from the monitoring triggered a disconnect on her telltale circuit, removing the evidence of her preparations before anyone could find it.
