    Paranioa can really get to you

    Paraniod Level 1
    So you ar paranoid that someone is monitoring your computer and IP. Well theres nothing you can do other than doing spyware and virus scans and using a firewall program such as Zonealarm.
    Paranoid Level 2
    OK there is more you can do after setting up an active firewall goto shieldsup and check to make sure your computer is invisible on the net by doing a full port scan. Then reconfigure your FW to close the ports you have open. Now install pgp for outlook and invent a 512 or a 1024 key(also get all your friends onto pgp and give them your key, thats the hard part) if you are using such programs as outlook did you know that the message that you sent was sent in clear text with no encryption, anyone monitoring your internet traffic could pick it up.
    Paranoid Level 3
    Ok so your sitting behind your firewall with encrypted email, but do you feel safe someone could still send you a spoof email phishing for info, so now you set up a network of two or more honeypots a DMZ and bridged cisco firewall to hide behind.
    One day you get a knock at the door from the intellegence service asking for alll your keys and also to take a dump off all your systems, why because our government/ your government doesnt like to be kept in the dark.

    Bottom line, at anytime someone might be monitoring your computer, but if your not a terrorist, pedofile, criminal or about to commit treason theres no point in hiding anything past a simple firewall.

    Tell me, do you dig into conspiracy theories? Do you support the anti-war movement?

    It could be Big Brother 1984 doing its big dumb job.

    Moderator: This should be moved into the subforum about computers. It will probably get more action over there.

    smitfraud usually takes care of these kind of problems.
     
  9. Call your ISP, and tell them. They should have logs and could let you know what is taking place. As, this could be illegal, and they might want to know what their customers are going through.
