Tracing in general can be done in various ways. It may be inappropriate if you say that you cannot be traced back when you use VPN. VPN provides you direct secured connectivity over existing network/networking protocols.
Packet analysis tools / Sniffers are always helpful in studying the network traffic flow, but more than that will the simple commands ping/tracert/pathping/etc. All these will help you in tracing destination from you being at source. If your question was to get someone traced (tracing source from you being at destination), this is also possible irrespective of the VPN or Proxy or any security controls. Below is our group link which shows you an example of how someone can be traced: http://groups.google.com/group/nforceit/browse_thread/thread/3e24f8945f3e7325/a0140318e67aa749?hl=en-GB_IN VPN might secure your network connectivity but not your application in browser. Proxy might secure and proxify your details but not your application details manipulated in browser. So, in general let me tell you; there is nothing called "secured" in IT as it itself has different OSI layers / technologies / operating systems / protocols / topologies / etc which runs in co-ordination with each other. If one of the abstraction layer is not working out for you to attack/trace, check the same with next layer. Everything is possible @ Transport Layer. ;-) Regards Sandeep Thakur -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nforceit" group.
