ScreenAngel join:2006-04-12	reply to Anon Basically, to fix human error... well one of the biggest mistakes on work computer setups is allowing internet address to sites besides those necessary for work tasks. And also admins not checking their systems for vulnerabilties that can be exploited and patching when fixes are available. Also, here are the causes of human error elsewhere Internet Explorer, Windows, and Outlook.

novaflare The Dragon Was Here Premium join:2002-01-24 Barberton, OH	reply to ZOverLord Re: The Primary Cause of Security Breaches = Human Error Heh lets think about this for a secound. When it comes right down to it all security breeches are do to human error. Look at it this way even if the breech is do to a exploit in os or software a human is responsable for that os or softwares creation. Corse what they realy mean is some dumb admin who has no buissness being behind a computers keyboard screwed up and left a hole wide open in the firewall or a user installed somethign they should not have.Then you got the admin who doesnt do the updates he should etc. As long as a computer has a face towards the outside world there is always a risk on a pc by pc basis. In a corp invironment with people of varied level of security clearance etc if they have access to other computers above their clearance there is then that area to be secured as well and a chance for a breach of security. Basically there is no such thing as a 100% secure pc if its ever even powered on. Hell theres even remote ways to potentialy capture keystrokes on a pc thats not hooked up to any thing. In fact typing on a keyboard with no power to it its still possible to record the keystrokes. Sounds funny and like a line of bs right wrong. Each key you hit on your key board has a unique sound. It would be possible to record these sounds aand start looking for letter compnality on the sounds. Startigng with the volwes e first as they show up in the english language once you has those you move on to bcd fgh jkl mn pqrst vwxyz. Now that you have a sond profile for a keyboard you can find out exactly what a person typed. Strange but true listen to your key strokes as you type the reply to what might seem like a silly reply from me. I bet you will be able to pick out a few unique sounds of keys by ear now imagine running a recording of it through a computer and looking for the minute diffrences in sound . -- DSLR security chat at us.ausirc.net chanel #dslr_sec lets pack this channel open source dns server for *nix and windows »powerdns.com
