Root kit and other things ?

Sound like from the wild west,  Only problem you have is if the staff is
not to know you doing this,

If that's not a problem I don't see any issues but do me a favour do not
install root kits unless you made them your self 100% or you want to risk
losing your job
and make a lot of the ones approving your action red faced

its far more simple unless you not allowed to do this, replaces the
computer updated the hardware make a image,
I guess that this is not part of some hit and run operations, and you are
infact doing this on behalf of the company,

Hi,

Try using social engineering. Tell him you are given a job to patch
all machines in the company for some security update then patch his
machine with a good rootkit. You may give him the update (infected) in
any CD or USB media so that he would install it himself. Or use any
idea which will not look suspicious to the target.

Regards,

We have a user who takes a company  computer home with them (no its not a
lap top).  We have a good reason to need to look at their files.  However,
we want to do so without that employ knowing.  They seem to know something
about security becasue auto runs is disabled and the workstation is always
locked with a third party software.  INserting a U3 drive will not run a
program either.  Are there any programs that will boot from a floppy then
copy a program to the c drive then wite an auto start entry into the
registry?  This was the only way I can think of to get the user to install
a program..

Any other ideas how we maight gain access?  It has to be fast (bathroom
breaks ect).  I dont have time to load a live cd. Further, robooting would
cause the user to loose work.
