Re: Spying in a corporate environment

Have you looked at NetVCR by Niksun.  It is a network appliance that
captures all network traffic. from a span port on a switch.  You can
rebuild E-Mails, webpages, etc.  If the traffic crosses the wire this
box captures it.  Depending on the drive space you can capture days
worth of traffic.
