All, Tremaine has a point I'd like to tangent from. There are many posts that come across the list that can be interpreted as actions or events which are questionable given the scenario. Unless explicitly stated by someone or obviously illegal, please try to assume that the question or situation is of a benign nature. We could argue about intentions or likelihood until we're blue in the face but it generally devolves to flaming or not-so-nice inferences that I do not want on this list. Yes, there are script kiddies and unethical behavior in our profession... But let's focus on the issue at hand and not the motive: You encounter leaking sensitive data that was not in scope of a job or part of your duties etc. What should you do? -- Erin Carroll Moderator SecurityFocus pen-test list "Do Not Taunt Happy-Fun Ball"

Starting a sniffer and then closing your laptop after having forgotten about it, that's not unlikely. --- Tremaine Lea Network Security Consultant Be in pursuit of equality, but not at the expense of excellence.
