A growing trend in websites is web analytics. This can monitor user activities to indicate what get used and what doesn’t. Google has its own analytics package. These days you really should throw on a proxy to see what it is happening. You have to be careful. Evidently Sears had a little christmas spyware surprise through this technique.

…you can go to the data centre and brute-force your way in as these criminals did by posing as policemen to burgle a Verizon data centre. It’s a worry. My feeling is people get ideas from media influences such as shows like 24, Spooks, CSI.

Here something that I revisited whilst doing some reconnaissance work for a test. It was noted that paterva was a useful data mining tool indeed. However, in late August, it was forced to change its name from evolution to maltego due to threats of legal action from Novell. Maltego download and web interface can be found here.

Holding a hot cup of chocolate in one hand and a laptop in the other, Michael hurried behind a plump looking man in a dark brown suit, preparing to enter the Department of Biology at Abbot Laboratories. He swiped his magnetic card through the card reader…
"Please hold the door!"
"Thanks a million!" gasped Michael, taking a sip of his hot chocolate.
After a few steps, Michael put his laptop and hot chocolate down on the floor and pretended to dig in his laptop bag for some papers.
"I’m in!" he whispered with a grin across his face, watching the brown suited man extinguish in the distance.
The first door to the left led to a quiet office; it was 8:30am, in Michael’s mind this could not have been more perfectly planned.
Michael crawled beneath the desk after walking to the nearest computer by the window. A horrible swarm of think dusty cables covered the floor as if from an Indiana Jones movie.
"Magnificare!" he muttered with a smile and in an Italian accent.
Reaching for his bag he took out a Wireless Access Point and plugged it into an open wall socket, fighting back cabling as he went; carefully removing the computer’s RJ45 cable and plugging it into his newly placed spy-point. He reached for another RJ45 cable from his bag, connecting both the computer and the Wireless device to create a spy-bridge.
As he finished closing his bag, he heard some voices coming from the door.
"I mean, how can he possibly treat us like that?"
"You saw how he acted yesterday…"
Michael grabbed his bag and ran forward placing himself behind the door.
“Lucy! wait up!”.
