    If he controls the network a tap would work, you can intercept the SSL certs and replace them. If you have inserted your own CA into each machine you could even avoid any warning for the end users.

  8. Re:sniffin the network for Facebook "screenshots". on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Monitor Traffic? · · Score: 2

    I do most of what you are inquiring about with a linux computer that has 2 NIC's. I have a custom build on openSUSE called net-tap. With a large hard drive, you can perform a tcp dump in a rolling manner, so the oldest is overwritten by the newest. You need to break the dump into reasonably sized bits and you will probably need to do a good bit of manual analysis.

    That is the technical side. Now, ethically, this is a bad idea. I capture packets for clients all the time, but my analysis is only concerned with network performance. I can see scenarios where this would be acceptable, but they are few and far between.

    I also concur that you are in over your head. People like you are pricing people like me out of the market. You don't know what your doing, but your clients have no idea.

    "If your think a professional is expensive (me), you should try hiring an amateur (you)", is meant to be sarcastic, not instructive.

    SSL proxy's also don't route DNS queries. So, if DNS is being relayed by the router, he can get alot of information there.

    These are Amazon jobs. Their warehouses in Indiana have ridiculous turnover and are constantly hiring (temp only). I've heard nothing but bad things about the working conditions. Those cheap Amazon prices have a heavy cost to the underpaid workers.

    I've heard this alot lately, "check people like the Israeli's do". Do people really think you should have a intensive background search just to travel? Have we fallen that far? I think a metel detector and an alert populace will prevent over 99.999 percent of problems. That last .001 percent is not worth my freedom.

    You are obviously not a student of history, and "Rich Man" is just a shorthand notation, not a commentary on the evils of money. Were WW1 and WW2 beneficial to all of Europe, or were there afew higher up's who would have benefited if they won? How about the Napoleonic wars, those are named after one guy because....?

    Of course the don't willing die for a rich person's ideas. They don't even know it. They get caught up in nationalism or idealistic thinking. Meanwhile, behind the scenes some comfortable, well off, "rich person" is pulling the strings.

    Protect your family, yourself, and your home. Don't let someone talk you into putting all those things into danger for their financial benefit.

    If Afghan fighters kill an American soldier, we don't round up random hostages and execute them if the killer is not turned in to us. It might not win hearts and minds, but it was a common and fairly effective tactic during both world wars. I think the ability for these acts to be transmitted to the world almost instantly has cut down on them.

    American's, and I include myself, have no way to comprehend what living in a war zone would be like. The majority of people would be happy for peace at any cost. In reality, war is usually about ideals, the day to day lives of the majority of people are unaffected by outcome. Unfortunately, there are always people willing to die for some rich guys ideas. Even more unfortunate is that they prefer killing for his ideas.
