Only in your jurisdiction.
Oh my. making back-ups is unlawful.
Yes
I guarantee you that _I_, as a system administrator, don't need a court
order to do such things. And, if you claim otherwise, you better be
prepared to cite the statues that prohibit it.
You do need a court order. Otherwise you break the law, and the law won.
This is a corporate environment, it is in the terms of employment that
company computers are for "business use only", that anything on the
machines is 'work done for hire', and thus property of the company.
You may want to look for files that are unusually large.
They could possibly be ISOs, dvdrips, HD movie dumps...
Not to forget encrypted RAR files (which btw. could contain anything,
including legitimate content, so be careful here).
It would be unlawful to try to brute force the files' password ;)
The last I knew (admittedly a number of years ago), encryption was illegal
in France, EXCEPT where the encryption key is on file with the Government.
Many multi-national corporations made sure to route their 'secure' traffic
_around_ France for that specific reason.
Find an encrypted file, and demand that the user show that the key is
on file with the gov't. *EVIL*GRIN*
Better talk with your users and resolve the problem using
non-technical means. Inventive users WILL always outsmart any
technical solution that you implement: this is a race you absolutely
can't win.
Head CP's advice Frank, you can't win this, for real.
In a _corporate_ environment, it *is* an easily 'winnable' issue.
It's =not= a technology 'arms race', it is a simple matter of 'personnel
management' and addressable on that basis.
This does _not_ mean that 'technology' cannot serve a function in policy
enforcement -- it simply means that technology, _in_and_of_itself_ is
not "the solution".
