Hi,
Everyone almost is missing Mifa's statement which is, "Any other ideas
how we maight gain access? It has to be fast (bathroom breaks ect). I
dont have time to load a live cd. Further, robooting would cause the
user to loose work."
This means he has to do it quickly without rebooting the machine and
no live CDs as rebooting would make the target suspicious of the act.
So social engineering will work better in this case.
If he has enough powers, he can trojan the machine as its company's
property. And the target may be a real danger for the company's
security, who knows ?
Regards

But if you just got to 'git'er'done', and you have physical access, Backtrack
v2.0 has been very helpful to me.

Autorun does not have to be enabled in the operating system, but BIOS has to be
set for booting off CD. If this is password locked, then remove the hard drive
and attach it on a nother machine which is not BIOS passworded. If there is
whole disk encryption, then make a copy of the drive ('dd' is a *LOT* cheaper
than ENCASE for one-time uses, although the latter has *MANY* useful tools).
That being said, I hope your reasons for suspecting misuse of corporate tools
are strong enough to stand up over simple need for privacy and maintenance of
entity-sensitive information with reasonable security if the situation gets out
of hand and ends up in court...
Warm Regards,
Dave Druitt
