Hello,

Some friends and I were putting together a contact list for 
the folks
attending the Defcon conference this year in Las Vegas. My 
friend sent
out an email, with a large CC list, asking people to respond 
if they
planned on attending. The email was addressed to quite a few 
people,
with
one of them being David Maynor. Unfortunately, his old 
SecureWorks
address was used, not his current address with ErrattaSec.

Since one of the messages sent to the group contained a URL 
to our phone
numbers and names, I got paranoid and decided to determine 
whether
SecureWorks was still reading email addressed to David 
Maynor. I sent an
email to David's old SecureWorks address, with a subject 
line promising
0-day, and a link to a non-public URL on the metasploit.com 
web server
(via SSL). Twelve hours later, someone from a Comcast cable 
modem in
Atlanta tried to access the link, and this someone was 
(confirmed) not
David. SecureWorks is based in Atlanta. All times are CDT.

I sent the following message last night at 7:02pm.

Approximately 12 hours later, the following request shows up 
in my
Apache
log file. It looks like someone at SecureWorks is reading 
email
addressed
to David and tried to access the link I sent:

71.59.27.152 - - [05/Jun/2007:19:16:42 -0500] "GET 
/maynor.tar.gz
HTTP/1.1" 404 211 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS 
X; en)
AppleWebKit/419 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3"

This address resolves to:
c-71-59-27-152.hsd1.ga.comcast.net

The whois information is just the standard Comcast block 
boilerplate.

Is this illegal? I could see reading email addressed to him 
being within
the bounds of the law, but it seems like trying to download 
the "0day"
link crosses the line.

Illegal or not, this is still pretty damned shady.

Bastards.

I will seldom touch on the legal side but I have a possible 
scenario:

-- If David is no longer at that address, it could be said 
that his mail
account was taken down and the mail sent ended up in a 
possible "catch
all"
box, perhaps someone at SecureWorks was looking through the 
said catchall
mailbox for any interesting mail sent to the secureworks.com 
domain (i.e.
to
old employees) - It's quite common for companies and 
organizations to
monitor
former employee mailboxes in the event anyone that doesn't 
have any new
contact information to be able to still get somewhere with the 
old
address.
And them being a security organization, maybe they proceeded 
to
investigate
the link sent.
