It the client is compromised, then the attacker will also know the ip/name of your machine once you use it on that computer. Furthermore, the thumbdrive is not something you have, it is only used to transport something you know, so that will be compromised on the client as well. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
