Beep... If one is able to obtain one copy of Black Ice, and open up the
setup files contained in it, one can modify the setup file to bypass the
serial number routine in the installshield routine, then bundle it back
up, and then re-distribute it, everything works just fine.. :)
This was one of the original bugs I registered with NetworkIce way back
when.
InstallShield has a nasty way of biting you if not used correctly.

Howdy all,
See the reply below from Robert Graham, CTO of Network ICE (producers of
BlackICE). Looks like Trojans are only a problem if you bootleg the
software. Get it from http://www.networkice.com and your fine (its $40).
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks.
A hacker has wrapped up BlackICE executables and added a trojan horse to
them, then distributed it on their website as a full install of
BlackICE.
People pirating software have downloaded this version.
Network ICE signs the installation program with authenticode. If you are
going to pirate it, at least verify the authenticode signature :-).
Thanks for forwarding this to me -- I'll post a message to our website.
Rob.

I haven't seen this topic raised anywhere, and I thought that someone on
the list might be able to confirm or refute a disturbing allegation.
Recently, two posters in the Usenet Newsgroup (cableinet.cable_modems)
claimed to have detected Black Ice acting as a Trojan. Is this a nasty
rumour that can be safely dismissed or is there truth to the allegation?
The posting in question can be found at DejaNews in:
http://x42.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=589587935&CONTEXT=952491191.444465163&hitnu
m=0
If that URL doesn't work (it works fine for me), then trying getting
Deja News to search the cableinet.cable_modems newsgroup for postings
about Black Ice. The posting was made on or about February 25, 2000.
I'm not sure if it is considered proper to include the text so I'll let
interested parties take a look for themselves.
I really hope this isn't true - I was thinking of recommending the
product to my clients who need to protect the PC Client endpoints of
VPNs.
