What data can be read by a commercial Security System in the data stream (client to Server)?

[Tremayne Devin]

Working in a comercial company. I am trying to determine what information can be detected by Comercial Security Systems. In particular :

 Text during IM

 Pics

 Textures

etc

You are in SL during work hours?  If so, your company has not blocked it.  However, everything you do while at work is 'owned' by your company.  Generally, they have access to all of the websites and applications you visit or open and how long you are in them.

Hmmm, let's see ...

Text in chat and IM, all inventory contents (names), notecard text if they are opened, voice if used, any pictures/textures you see in-world, all object shapes/sizes/other properties, animations, sounds, sculpt-maps.

Pretty much everything except script-source, unless you edit them in which case those to.

The thing is, all this has to be downloaded to your computer in order to display (or play in the case of sound).  Any commercial security system will be able to capture all that as it comes in.  And know who requested it!

Depending on how your company "watches" your PC Usage they can have every website/ IM/ Video/ etc saved. Most companies have Keywords that is a PC uses it (Say facebook) the will Monitor that PC through the IT dept and see if a person is abusing their connection privileges.  If you are where you need a Proxy to access certain sites, They can monitor that also, I would be careful as to "Playing" during work hours.
