How about not all making assumptions on how the machine is configured etc. No body has asked if the machine is networked- you are all making an assumption that may be invalid. What O/S is the host running. Statistically the likelihood is XP not Linux. Thus telnet is likely disabled. Even if it is XP, is Remote admin/desktop enabled or disabled by policy. Is the host on a domain etc etc etc. Ask some questions, don't make assumptions.

If they can "ruled" any laptop at will then couldnt they also get into your mail servers? Wouldnt anything that would be discussed in your meeting generate followups in a email?

Hi all, I have recently entered with my boss to our corp. conference room to discover a new (shining) internet laptop on a side desk in the room. During our chat I mentioned that the laptop has a builtin microphone and therefore enables covert eavsdropping in case the laptop is "ruled" from remote position, and therefore, a conference room PC should have no builtin mic. My sceptic boss replied instantly - "I challange you, bring me a recording of any meeting - I`ll replace the laptop, and you`ll receive it." I therefore need a small covert application (no need in process hiding), which will record microphone input to file. command line application is perfect. Do any of you know any ? Guys, I gotta have this laptop... Regards, Shiri ----------------------------------------------------------------------
