Intrusion Detection For Your PC Case 213
Anonymous Coward writes "Ryan du Bois, from genbukan security (aka red0x), has created a chassis intrusion detection system for your computer box: the actual physical case. He also wrote a paper describing three separate implementations of this CIDS system: Contacts, Pressure switchs, and a PLA (programmable microchip). Included in his paper are complete designs for the first two and a promise for the last to come soon. Definitely worth a read. The paper is available in many formats including
OpenOffice 1.0,
HTML ,
TEXT
and a Tarball of them all. You can also obtain the
signatures as well as his Automated Security Tools Project, of which this is a member."

I like the system that Apple has put into their G4 Towers. There's a spring-loaded clip with a hole in it that pulls out of the back of the case. You can slip a cable/padlock/whatever through this which prevents the clip from springing back into the case.
When the clip is out, the EZ-flip-down-door on the side of the case is locked, preventing unnoticable intrusion.

I suggest you search through the archives of "Ask Slashdot." You'll find many interesting stories where it is clear that if the poster's identity was given away, they would be in trouble with their boss/clients.
