Trapping the traffic would be the same as retrieving data from the notebook in their eyes. Before doing anything like this you need to let this person know exactly what you're going to be doing and get their sign off on it. -----Original Message----- From: itsec.info [mailto:itsec.info () gmail com] Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 6:19 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: How to check an Executive's notebook Hi I have a client who is a very high powered Executive and he asked me to check his notebook regarding security etc. Actually this would be any easy task but he is not willing to hand over his notebook to me and I am not allowed to retrieve any data from it. Well how can you assess such a notebook and also the person's behaviour regarding security (e.g. reading his private email via smtp and the like)? The only idea I found so far is to re-direct the notebook's Internet traffic through a proxy and then I can examine this traffic and give him some advice. Any other ideas are very welcomed. -- Regards, Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
