It had a brief moment in the > sun, but then everything patched it I'd be really worried if they hadn't been patched, but it won't be the last. Before it we had holes in the Windows infrared drivers (okay strictly that didn't need physical contact). X Windows screen saver "debug" left in. WEP And many more... Guess physical access just expands the attack surface. If you can force memory exhaustion remotely its a dos, with physical access we'll find out if the screen lock is safe from the oom reaper (most should be). The other thing that has moved is expense of gadgets like key loggers. The great thing about USB is it has removed a lot of device connectivity issues, so the key loggers now grab data from a variety of USB devices - camera, flash drivers, printers. If you are feeling flash<sic> they come looking like USB cables, whose going to check their USB cables haven't been switched. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
