> You put a data exfiltration dongle between the modem and the LAN. Sounds interesting, and could be used in a movie, but it doesn't look like it is practically applicable in real life. You will have a hard time making sense of the data without full-MITM'ing with SSL decryption, installing your CA certificate on all machines and browsers on the LAN, and solving the certificate pinning problem. A USB keylogger may be a simpler solution even though it can't sniff the whole LAN. |

I wasn't clear here enough: The device at this point enables you to typically see all devices on the LAN and WLAN on L2. Which means you can do ARP spoofing and all that kind of stuff. One of the first things you then would look at is what printers are available to infect. People often print interesting things :)
And yes, of course the USB keylogger is the cheap lazy solution. These days due to second factors not that useful as it used to be, but still... you can deploy it in seconds pretty much in every office, shop or governmental institutions.
But to not further drift into off-topic:
I am serious about all this. Should Grapevine be successful and for example one day put out a press release like "Procter & Gamble is now using our services", you will have in addition to state actors (China, Russia, Israel) a thousand kids looking up that P&G makes a profit of $15 Billion or whatever per year, and that they surely will pay 1% of that for not having all of their company data published.
If you look at existing knowledge management system that are deployed in physical-world-companies, you will see that they actually are not allowed to index all the data, but as you would be running against a lot of laws and management best practices if in the next coffee brake everybody would laugh about poor Tony who once had a really stupid concept, created a draft document of it, but then noticed that it won't work and make him look like a fool.... Thought not giving it to his manager would solve that "problem", but it got indexed as company knowledge..
So, erm, yeah: Existing knowledge management systems to a large extend are about NOT sharing knowledge.
Sorry for this raw brain dump of mine into this thread :)
