well, i read about a hacker scenario once that utilizes IE vulnerabilities by exploiting the interests of employees. basically, you lure an employee to a website you prepared that exploits some bug in IE to install a trojan on that pc, thus bypassing firewall and other security precautions.
Don't forget that the "website" you lure the person too can also be an email, or anything else with embedded HTML - one of those chain-mail power point things - almost anything. -Eric -- arctic bears - affordable email and name services @yourdomain.com http://www.arcticbears.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
