Across the darkened street, a windowless van is parked. Inside, an antenna is pointed out through a fiberglass panel. It's aimed at an office window on the third floor. As the CEO works on a word processing document, outlining his strategy for a hostile take-over of a competitor, he never knows what appears on his monitor is being captured, displayed, and recorded in the van below.

OpenAntiVirus Project
Successful open source software always proves excellence in reliability, effectiveness, scalability, and portability. The Apache httpd, the Linux operating system and Perl as a scripting language or in the field of security OpenSSH, OpenSSL and GnuPG are prominent examples disguising that there are important fields lacking comparable solutions. One of these fields is anti-virus software. Previous attempts to fill the gap failed due to lack of concept and/or inability to attract essential expertise. To build a network of anti-virus developers within the Open Source Community providing mandatory resources for communication and project management the OpenAntiVirus Project was founded August 30th 2000.

They asked a janitor for a garbage pail in which to place their contents and carried all of this data out of the building in their hands. The strangers had studied the CFO's voice, so they were able to phone, pretending to be the CFO, in a rush, desperately in need of his network password. From there, they used regular technical hacking tools to gain super-user access into the system.
In this case, the strangers were network consultants performing a security audit for the CFO without any other employees' knowledge. They were never given any privileged information from2
