A difficult question (Urgent).

fam01 · 02-12-2009, 03:46 AM

Hi People,

Please read the story below:
I checked my firewall inbound event block list and I saw one of my housemates PC name alot of times on it. Now, I need to confirm if he is actually able to see what I do on my computer and Internet e.g. what do I type, which websites I visit, etc. I need to know what does some of the terms mean on the Event information list on my personal firewall. They are as follows:

- Bootscrap Protocol server
- SSDP
- NetBios Datagram
- Netbios Name

These above mentioned information points are listed next to the same Hostname (housemate PC). We use a wireless secured home network. The housemate in question does know the router password means he can actually see who is logged on to the network also.

Please advice if I the housemate is trying to get into my system in some way? Do I need to worry ?

I would highly appreciate your help in this matter people.

Thanks alot.

Do you know that he IS trying/succeeding in getting packets from you? if so, you live with him, go punch him in the face and stomp on his laptop.

Nothing on that list pertains to snooping on your internet traffic or to keylogging.
