I did not think of this. I will have to go into the bios to turn off the battery of my work laptop.
I have Wireshark, but haven’t really had a reason to learn it. I mostly just stare at the traffic rolling by the way they do on The Matrix. This is on the list to try.
I could see someone (maybe me when we were younger) trolling my Dad by putting this on his car for him to find.
I have x-code loaded on a Mac, but that is the closest I have to that.
It is more than your average home network. I have a dual WAN router with fiber on each to a different provider. (It is stupid overkill, but my wife and I both work from home and it is important not to be down). I use a pi-hole for ad blocking and unbound for recursive DNS resolution. Most of the devices are wired Ethernet, so I have a bunch of switches and kit to transform coax into fast Ethernet.
I don’t mess with the firewalls, because that seems like there is a big downside to messing about if you get it wrong. That is all vanilla out of the box.
Sounds like purchasing got a deal on surplus spook gear.
This is interesting. I had to modify it to nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn <IP>.
It said the host is up with 0.077 seconds of latency. All 64k ports were scanned with 7 filtered tcp ports (host-unreachable) and the rest (no-response).
Thanks. It is neither the Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi on my windows laptop.,
I shut off my only windows machine and it is still there.
I will probably have to shut all the devices off and put them back one by one. OMG that will take a long time.
Thanks. This helps. My work computer is way newer than that. It makes me think it could be networking hardware. I have some kit that’s about that old.
It is a home network. Configured by someone who understands the basics, but is mostly following recipeies rather than having deep knowledge.
That’s big of them
