You could install a vnc server on his computer and have it running in the background so it doesnt show in his systray. then you could initiate a session to his computer from another and watch what he's doing and take screen shots of any pr0n he's looking at. Not sure of the legality of that, though. On 8/30/05, James Leighe <jamesleighe@gmail.com> wrote:
This sure is allot of trouble to bust someone for looking at porn however to each his own... You could use drive imaging software and then data recovery software to get all the files on the hard drive that have not been written over as of yet, like cookies and the tmp files n' all that noise... Other than that, advanced routers have logging capabilities, if you have an IDS that would be a place too look... you know your network better than we do, check around.

This user has gone to great lengths to try to mask his illegal activities by erasing cookies, temp. files and by installing anti-spyware software on his computer. Are there any tools that would allow me to still uncover proof that he had accessed these sites? So far, the tech department is telling me that he did access illegal sites on only two dates but I suspect that this illegal activity started many months or years ago and it will be up to me to find more proof. Also, at a network level, we know his IP address but yet my technical support department is telling me that they cannot (either because they don't want to or because they are not technically capable of) tell me what internet sites this IP address has accessed in the past. Logically, there must be a point in the network (on some piece of hardware) where I can consult log files to track his activities? Or, is there a log file that I can consult that will tell me what sites all my users have accessed and from what IP address? In terms of access to the desktop in question, I will have full access as the computer will be in my possession in the coming days. Thank-you and any help that you can provide would be most appreciated. Regards, Edmond
