Testing Users

[CampbellD]

Hi All,

I am wanting to run an experiment on my users as to how they treat foreign e-mails.

Does any one know of a piece of software or exe that i could send to them all and it tells me who runs the attachment, and displays a message that informs them that they have been virused.

Anyone got any ideas ... or a program that does something like this.

If you may do this, because the contract of your company tells their employees that they have no right of privacy in e-mails... ok! But if not... well I hope you're not in my company... I would hunt you down the corridors if I am able to see who tries to screen me!
So be careful... if it's against company policy you can loose a job!

Our policy is that all e-mail is considered the organisations.

All i want to do is see who is flippent with opening e-mails from foreign e-mail sources.

And have them made aware of that they are doing.

Purely educational

I know that with my company's email software, Novell GroupWise, you can track messages sent within the company. I can see who opened each message and when by looking at the message properties. I can also be notified at the exact moment they open the message.

I guarantee you that if you send an email out with the subject FREE BEER that everyone will open it. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Hi MacGyver,

We are using Exchange 5.5, so i can also do this, but first i need a program that i can attach to an e-mail which will appear that they've been infected by a virus when they run it and it also sends me a message back informing me who actually ran the attachment.

Any Ideas?? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

How about a simple batch file like this: call it something sneaky like FREEBEER.JPG.BAT

@echo off
echo -you stupid luser, you're computer is now infected with a virus! BWAHHAHAHAHAHA - Cobra
dir c:\ > h:\busted.nfo
attrib h:\busted.nfo +r +h +s

What this batch file does is echo a message of your choosing (I took my inspiration from our own resident evil, Cobra) and then it creates a file called BUSTED.NFO and puts into their home directory. (on my server that drive is H) The attrib command gives it the system attributes so even if somebody happens to find it, they will have a tough time deleting it.

This way, you can do a dir/s as network administrator of the user home directories looking for the file, and BOOM you get a list of people who opened the BAT file.

You can do it by using the
NET HELPMSG "I have opened the file"
Utility into the Batch file

One other thing - you can convert batch file to EXE by a simple utility - i can send it to you if you want - Just drop out a PM
