Delivering information to Winbloze workstations securely?
Hi,
I need to send some Winbloze victims some confidential information. What I usually do is make a PGP self-extracting archive and email it to the user. Then I give them their passwords separately. The problem is the new mail filters on the corp. mail server are rejecting these attachments even though I renamed them to something other than .exe. I guess it finds some string in the file that's created. Is there a better way to do this? I can't install anything on their workstations so whatever I do has to be self-contained. I think axcrypt has a similar feature but it doesn't have any advantages. Thanks. |
Definitely not the most secure considering how easy it is to break zip file password to suggest it, but as you can't install 7z or rar...
EDIT: BTW, 7z and rar might work without installation (at least console versions) |
Perhaps file transfer by IM, or email a link.
|
Thanks, rar may be a good alternative. I didn't think of that.
The company doesn't allow the users to install IM so that's also out, not that I would trust any of them either... Thanks guys. |
If this is within the Corp and its business, you should be easily able to make a business case to the admins (to allow your orig soln which the users are used to), instead of continually coming up with new tech solns as they change the filters.
|
The filter is probably is provided by some external company, e.g. symantec and you can't control what it does like or not.
|
Yeah and I'm also an outside provider. Nobody listens to me. They just want the data on their workstations! I zipped the executable and it seems to have made it through.
