I can tell you haven't reached 50 yet...

Lol why, does ur todger then become useless?

Anyways don't lizards have 2 ?

I like to use real-time streaming stock quoting websites like ADVFN and it's these are I believe generate constant traffic over the network.

I also like to occasionally pop into the gents and check the size of my todger. It can be fun.

I'm going to check out how to combine with SSH. Key requirements: Security, reasonable performance, not detectable by nosey parker network admins.

Not really a network admin if you can install some software on your machine to conduct your personal business.

This is the problem network admins continue to have on a day to day basis. They worry too much about the outside hacker and forget about the internal staff who are continually trying to circumvent the security policys.

Buy a 3g and keep your job!!

Even using VNC though, you'll still be generating internet traffic. Actually with VNC, you'll be generating more than plain browser over port 80. As someone mentioned before on the other thread about email - it's probably better to use your own means, e.g. 3G / mobile. You could then set up your browser to use that network connection instead of the corporate lan.

I guess if you're ultra paranoid, the best bet would be to run vmware and have the corporate os run in one VM and your own in another.

Either that, or some kind of micro-pc with KVM. Anyone done that?

VNC will run over any port you want - and it's free.

I punched it into Google and found many claims of VNC being insecure over a public network.

I would love to do this but 3389 is blocked at the firewall. I would expect that to be the case at most corporate sites. You have a trick?

I would like to tunnel RDP using SSH. In fact anything would be OK so long as it is secure and not dog slow. I've researched this online and unless you have your own Citrix server facing the web (I don't have the product or licence) then gotomypc.com looks like the best bet. But it is pricey and fairly restricted - 1 PC.

We have ports 80 and 443 open only.

RDP connection to some terminal server at home and you can surf without leaving a trace!!

My favourite...

This may soon become a corporate standard in some of the places I worked, why do PM's think code is like a Porn movie? Quantity does not equal Quality.

Anybody else try this? Surely you could get the boot for installed unapproved software!

But you're not installing it. You can even run it off a USB key drive - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

I use wormholes to bypass such stupid restrictions.

If you are not high enough lifeform to appreciate the beauty of my solution then have a pie and take it easy.

Any my favourite pies are full of wormholes

Claim

that you're a muslim and are 'praying' online.

(interestingly you know the way that muslims kneel towards mecca, well, given that we live on a (roughly) spherical planet, they're also mooning mecca at the same time. Just though I'd share that with you.)

Find the tech bloke - Take him out for a few beers - That works

[gingerjedi]

I work for a goverment department and use a permy's account, I told him I needed access for technical reasons.

The guy who is supposed to do the monitoring is probably off sick anyway!
