| 428283 | 2006-02-08 08:08:00 | I was using the usage checket thats on the XTRA homepage. Any programs or things in windows ro see if anyone else is on the network. There's the problem right there. The Xtra website will be delayed and will not directly correlate to usage incurred on your line at that point in time. Therefore, you may have downloaded something few hours earlier, and only now is it finally being updated on the meter. |

| 428284 | 2006-02-08 08:41:00 | Not you, but someone could do so using your Internet access. It would be recorded with the ISP logs under your account. I saw a demo, and trust me, the big brother kiwi cooperates with bigger brother. You can bet if someone dishonest enough to steal someone else's band-width, there going to be up to no good when cruising. How would the police Know I have been looking at kiddie porn? |

Well I am dishonest enough to steal it, but I wasn't looking at kiddie porn . No doubt there forensic guys would be able to tell by tearing my machine apart wether I was looking at it or not |

| 428286 | 2006-02-08 09:17:00 | Not if you have a certain boot disc I have, wipes the hard drive beyond recovery, even for them, and it's not just formatting, this thing really does make it impossible to recover anything. | Haze (3028) | ||

I have an even more special program that can undo what your "certain boot disc" does. Dosent care if it's been zeroed or oned. |

| 428288 | 2006-02-08 19:58:00 | This is getting a bit off subject. I'm referring to firewall / proxy logs maintained by your internet provider, such as Xtra or TelstraClear. Also it's an open secret that the US monitors NZ internet traffic. It's pretty straight-forward to tie it back to an individual network's internet connection. Assuming someone leaches your internet connection, most likely any illegal porn / files will be on their laptop, not your PCs. Of course, once a leacher compromises a wireless network, you've made their job of planting any number of internet nasties on your PC a lot easier. Maintaining two levels of firewalls can help, one at the "border" and one on each PC. So while you can scrub your hard disk, you can't scrub your ISP's logs. |

| 428290 | 2006-02-08 23:05:00 | Getting back to the original topic, I find a free prog called Active Ports (google for a download site) is good for monitoring what is going on on your network. Just make sure you can account for all the IP addresses/ports shown! | linw (53) | ||
| 428291 | 2006-02-09 04:43:00 | I have an even more special program that can undo what your "certain boot disc" does. Dosent care if it's been zeroed or oned. I doubt that, if its the disk I'm thinking it uses the guttman (I think thats what its called - Auckland Uni represent) deletion algorithm. No program would be able to recover the data (or very unlikely - a bazillion to 1 chance), the only possibility *could* be removing the platters and using something more sensitive but I don't think theres any place in NZ that does that. When I was speaking to the guys at the e-crime labs, they would sometimes send it to a place in Singapore. Even then the chances are minimal. Encase is the standard software used by forensics investigater. |
