17 The live-cd solution will work perfectly _assuming_ the binary makes no
18 effort to ensure it is running on a real installation. So my primary
19 concern is gaining access to the network again without any changes to my

22 As a secondary concern, I would like to figure out what the binary is
23 doing every step of the way and publishing the results for others to be
24 aware of.

26 Thanks everyone for your great responses. I definitely have some
27 research to do in this new and very intriguing area of system management
28 and security.
