"Employee names and partial and full Social Security numbers were on the
computer's hard drive, though Rubinger said it would be almost
impossible for the thief to decipher the information because it was
streamed together."

It could be a network sniffer capture or data stream capture they are
referring to. Replication traffic and incremental logs throw the data
together in sequential order so multiple elements are streamed together,
it's pretty damn hard to decipher. That's my guess.

Hi everyone,


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13437723/from/ET/

refers to a laptop being stolen and that the data was unreadable
because it was streamed together.

What are the refering to when they say streamed together?
Any links would be helpful.

Then, how do we test such a feature? any tools?


Thanks - killy
