"It would be very difficult to link this information and determine they were actual Social Security numbers in the first place," he said. Yeah unless the perpatrator uses said laptop to read the news! "The laptop was not password-protected and the data was not encrypted, officials have said." So my guess is that this is positive spin to save the company embarassment. For "almost impossible" read "possible" -----Original Message----- From: Dan Bogda [mailto:dan.bogda () kintera com] Sent: Saturday, 24 June 2006 9:09 AM To: killy; Pen-Tests Subject: RE: Streamed Data "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. -----Original Message----- From: killy [mailto:killfactory () gmail com] Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 6:59 AM To: Pen-Tests Subject: Streamed Data 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?
