RE: tools used to examine a computer

["Michael Parker" <mparker () rim net>]

Hi Joshua,

There's a multitude of tools that you can use for any number of purposes.  If you are interested in doing some data 
recovery, try Ontrack Easy Recovery.  If you suspect someone of doing something illegal or against policy you might try 
keylogging software such as Spector or Perfect KeyLogger.  What exactly are you trying to do?  

Regards,
Sincerely,

I could really use some help in finding a tool that will be used when and
employee gets terminated or when a computer gets broken into.  I had a
network breach happen from the inside and when I went and took the machine
back to the operation center I found that a login script was placed into the
admin account for that machine and the script erased the evidence.  I was
able to copy some files over the network before I took the computer into
custody. What tools are out there that can really be helpful in
monitoring/forensics.

How can I create a receive-only Ethernet adapter?

You use 2 cards, one in 'read-only' promiscous mode
sniffing the wire, the other connected to the management
network (& severly restricted) to communicate with the
sensor.
