  • The BOSS key : Windows 10 : $20 USD

    I don't normally promote proprietary software, but this thing seems to be the best of the alternatives for Windows systems. Really the best thing would be not to need or use such a software package. However, I figured that I'd bring this to the attention of the Sp00knet community as it is relevant to us. I've provided the link below. $20 seems like a bit much, but as they have cornered the market niche that's just how it is. Have fun with this, but do your work at your work. :)

    Many places of work have policies that would preclude using
    such a thing. And.. if the person needs this, then they are not
    doing the work they should be doing. I dunno, seems like a
    poor excuse for hating your job.

    The days of a boss key seem long gone. Workplace surveillance is at a
    whole new level nowadays.

    I started off in an environment where most data was cleartext, and you
    didn't snoop because, well, it was tacky. I recall after I'd left a
    company finding out that my successor was caught snooping SMTP mail and archiving other people's email based on keywords. He was let go, of
    course.

    When our network people felt it appropriate in the workplace to MITM SSL sessions and snoop traffic, I felt like I'd switched sides. Thankfully,
    when it comes to homing from work (as opposed to working from home...)
    we all have capable cell phones and VPN clients.

    But wait -- now Intune snoops network traffic on your phone in order for
    you to check your email on your personal phone. They have a list of
    things that Intune can and cannot see, but there's no trust or
    verification.

    I use work apps on my personal phone quite often. I'm tempted to put a
    SIM in one of my older phones and use it for work only.
