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.
