Nuno,

No, I don't have a problem reading, and I did notice your short fuse before... ;) You are however making the (very common) and often fatal mistake to underestimate "normal office workers". Script kiddies eventually do graduate from high school and more often than not end up working in an office as a "normal office worker". This is why so many attacks seem to be initiated from inside the network. I've worked in many situations where "normal office workers" surprised by knowing more about the network and how to circumvent the defences than the network admins who put them in place!

Unless you personally know every worker in your office, and know exactly which devices can connect (wirelessly) to the internal network, you should expect knowledgeable persons to have internal access.

Cheers,
Tony
