A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
This is actually the first time that I've done any hardware hacking since I was in the military! If anything came about from soldering that first tap, it was satisfying the itch I had for a while to hardware hack![]()
lol... well I do admit that I modeled it after the one you made... probably one of the best visual aids on the web![]()
I didn't really appreciate the quality of your work 100% until I was actually underway with making mine!

Yea, Streaker makes good shit.![]()
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Well this has been an interesting little project for me; I've learned quite a bit in the last few days in building a new IDS with the tap.
One thing I noticed was when I played around and put it between the modem and firewall (just to see what kind of crap was actually representative of my non-stop blinking enet led on my cable modem) was how much arp traffic there is!!! It's insane.... non-stop from 4 different x.x.x.x/16 IP's related to me ISP.
I've actually pinned down an exploited service on my xp machine in the process as well, which had come from a pdf editing program I had to download from download . com (I normally NEVER put anything else on my xp machine aside from what's absolutely essential to my work).
When it's connected between my firewall and switch, I really haven't seen thus far anything out of the ordinary... but I'll play the waiting game to see what/who's ugly head pops up
Big thanks to streaker for the insight + visual aid !
