Trojans/Viruses etc. are constantly changing things. Making a CD will mean you'll have to make a new CD all the time to keep up-to-date with the changes, sounds like one big mess to me. -----Original Message----- From: Peteris Krumins [mailto:newsgroups () lf lv] Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2003 12:01 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: System Security Audits Hello, I have a question about doing system (Windows) security audits. By system security audits I mean things like checking if computer is free of malware, trojans, viruses, if user has appropriate permissions (not too high or to say if user has restrictive permissions) etc. I have a couple of ideas which i could use, one is to create an universal CD with all the stuff needed. Everything is on the CD, nothing will be installed on the client's computer. The Audit Team just puts CD in, runs applications and that's it. The other is to bool from a CD on the client's computer which would bring us to some different environment (probably linux). As booted mount the filesystems and do all the audit stuff from such environment. Or, please, suggest any other methods that could be used.
