Thanks for the response.

Well, cheaper is always better when budget is concerned.
I know that they aren't going to want to hire outside
help.

I know most of the lockdown stuff when it comes to patches
and commen sense...I am looking for programs like back
orfice, and netbus, and basically any backdoors that could
be installed. I mean, this network was really insecure.

Anything other suggestions?

Thanks again!

John
