Bypass firewall restrictions via an HTTPS proxy
Stephanos - take this as a sign. I see this all the time. Your management team is inept. Your CEO might be a stupid ahole too. They don't understand so they fear. They fear so they impede.

Security admins restrict outbound protocols like AIM for a reason. It's insecure. Worms are now being transmitted via AIM. So are the latest versions of Phishing attacks. Yes you can get around just about any restriction. It might be more constructive to open a dialog about the restrictions. MacOS X gives organizations the opportunity to bring Instant Messaging in house. You can run an IM server on Server, use Jabber and encrypt everything. IM can be used constructively as a collaboration tool. Discussions of constructive uses seems better than adolescent rants against "clueless" management.
What's port 22 for?
This was the question our IT people asked me when I requested port 22 to be opened to my workstation. Frankly, I lost all respect for them at that point. They added a filter because some salesperson made it sound like the world would end if they didn't. Of course, they standardized on Dells, so they might have been right.

Bill, thanks for the praise, but it's not really that simple. My management and admins are not idiots. They know I'm doing this, and they don't mind. In fact they told us beforehand when the policy was instated that if we found a hole, we could use it. So I just did. |
