| Anonymous Coward User ID: 5701680 United States11/23/2011 02:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a Penetration Tester, I got to see all sorts of 'hacks'. Quoting: wisc_natureboy One of my favorites was a company that hired us for a security audit and penetration testing. There was a financial incentive to 'break' into their network if we could do it. No problem. We bought a dozen thumb drives and put a folder called vacation pix on them. Within the .jpeg files we embedded some code that would query Active Directory and SMTP that data back to us. The thumb drives were scattered around the parking lot at 5 AM. By 9 AM we had every account and password on their network.  Most isp's block port 25 except for their traffic, we routinely use higher ports to bypass this. Your embedded code would have been seen as a virus with most a/v. Do these people not use A/v? I hope you don't do IT for people. It takes almost zero effort to make a program that AV will miss. |

You can restrict the use of executables very detailed in a windows domain. As for software updates, in the future they all will be signed by the vendor. This opens the gate for the vendors to even restrict what is going to run on your system at all, like its done on the iphone. |

A port block on 25 at the firewall and authentication of relays would have stopped your hack pretty quick. We went in over 143,139 and 25. Plus if they authenticated relays we had some e-mails with embedded dsquery code. We were not going to be denied. haha. NetBIOS to the rescue! What we have here, are two avid, devout readers of 2600 and Blacklisted 411. Heh. |

How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." |

Backdoors have been in place for most software available on the net, Linux, windows etc... I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief... |
