Bug Payload.

Hi,

I've just come across Metasploit and thought I'd pipe up about a payload
I've often considered.  Lots of PCs have a microphone, one way or
another.  Streaming audio from the target host would be a serious
security compromise in many situations, e.g. I telephone an estate
agent, make an offer on the property, and then his PC eavesdrops on his
telephone conversation with the vendor.

It's like a ready-placed bug exists in every office.  And it is a
payload that would concern non-techies more than their PC being bust and
a re-install required.

Anyway, thought it worth mentioning.

Cheers,


Ralph.
