7b) unplug target network cable [thus avoiding the remote syslog issue] With BigBrother you get 5 minutes (typically) before you create an alarm .. so, depending on what sort of Oragami is required to get into the server, that may be possible. The easiest thing to do though would be just flip the power on a whole rack (and maybe a few next to it) .. somebody will just figure a janitor tripped over something. ... or just hit the EPO on the way out of the datacenter. We had that happen *more than once* at a former site because people mistook it as the release for the maglocks (which it sort of still was, since those were on datacenter power). ~Mike. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
