Buy ten thumb drives, put a piece of code on them to sent a net message to your server internally or something similar (Basically you want the devices to phone home once placed in the users workstation) then you'll find how many people are still dumb enough to put an unknown device in their corporate system. -----Original Message----- From: webmaster () absolutenetworks biz To: pen-test () securityfocus com Sent: 30/01/07 14:12 Subject: Testing the user community We all know our weak link but how do you identify just how weak they are? I think it's time to pen test my user community and have a couple ideas to gather statistics on just how nonaware they really are. Maybe a simple phishing scam and bogus email with a fake virus attachment that emails me when it's opened so I can track how many folks actually opened it. Has anyone ever done this before? I can't find any information about it on the web.. thoughts and ideas anybody?
