I read somewhere that Windows utilizes its shared files, using SMB, to keep logs of other PCs on your network, such as your workgroup computers. Meaning. If you have 2 or more PCs connectd on a LAN, each one keeps track of each other's internet browsing activities, files downloaded, etc. I...

Was just reading some tin foil had stuff, haha. It claims that windows can run application, such as secret logging etc, without you knowing it, but I'm sure it would be found out. i mean windows has been reverse engineered, hacked, and everything else actually to go into detail, secret logging...

want to monitor my shared files activity, found some software that would do so

does anyone know what kind of protocol or systems Windows uses for sharing files on a network? Is it a type of broadcast to all workgroup computers?

thanks falconguard. I have been GOOGLEing this quite a bit but can't figure out if simply creating a bridge on a network would enable your wireless NIC to go into promiscuous mode or monitoring mode

so i'm assuming even running in permiscuous mode wouldn't necesarily do anything unless you had software to analyze the packets, etc. Would you even pick up any information at all running in permiscuous and would the activity show up somewhere you could see it? I mean I would think if your...

hi, new to the forums. Just curious about something. I read not too long ago about a guy that used someone's wirless connection outside of their homes to download illegal material (something sick like CP). What I wondered though, was would that show up on the actual owner's pc that was...
