 Security applications such as namp and ethereal are appearing that run
straight from a thumb drive and packet capture, detection and injection
tools no longer require the installation of WinPCap or other
third-party packet capture drivers.

 And your point is?? If this is considered a risk in your environment
implement Software Restriction Policies [XP Pro/W2003] so that only
authorized applications can be run. --- Steve

I believe the intent was simply advisory, that apps like nmap, ethereal
are now useful as a pre-penetration tool (assuming some credentialled
login) rather than only post-elevation whence drivers could be loaded.
