Hey list readers,

Using VMWare ACE in a bootable pen-drive with trojaned
xp or something ... similar to get you going. The OS
could be linux or others too, depends on what you want
it for... It just boots out of the box, and it works
like a charm. The basic idea is to use ACE from VMware
for malice in your client's environment, since you
already mentioned you need a stealth device.

Cheers :)
