From the “sounds dirty, but isn’t” department, the newest security threat to corporate America: pod slurping. Abe Usher wrote a small executable that can be run from an iPod connected to a PC. When run, slurp will find and copy all of the document files it sees in subdirectories of c:\documents and settings. I hate it when that happens.

It’s not dirty 😉
I thought Gartner Group was on to something when they released their report last year. Slurp.exe is just a proof-of-concept; you can use it to demonstrate the risks of lax physical security.
(Just remember the version on Sharp-Ideas.net is crippleware – it stops after it copies a certain number of files).

Chris, prove it– or are you just spamming?
You wrote an interesting article on my original release of slurp.exe
(a pod slurping proof of concept).
I’ve since released a new tool (slurp audit) to help organizations
assess their level of risk. You may check it out at:
