Question: can IT determine that you are running the google talk application? Currently my firm does not allow gtalk. Many of us load the executable file on a thumb drive, then copy the .exe file onto our desktop, then run it from there. As far as I know, IT can't detect it. My question is related to going over to Germany and doing the same thing over there. They are a bit more strict on usage and thus tend to monitor things more closely. In fact, they are allowed to monitor personal email going in and out of their network. So my question is, if I was to pull the same trickery over there, what is the chance of being detected. I imagine if they really really wanted to find a certain type of traffic/packets they could... Just curious from the more IT savvy folks on the board.
