Thread: Want to see who is trying to access your computer? I can show you.

that's so much bullshit. i got a better idea.. shutdown your torrent.

I've seen some random shit before when I use peerblock. I just thought there was someone there try to download a torrent you were seeding.

I dont torrent. This isnt my computer. On mine it shas all kinds of weird companys and Inc

right now on my computer its blocking 776,410,731 IPs

They're out there man. You just dont know.

True it is very interesting nonetheless.

so what does this program do.and who here uses it

I use it when I'm downloading torrents and what not. It is supposed to block all incoming traffic through the p2p software being used. I think anyways.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one.

Read the link I posted in the OP

"PeerBlock lets you control who your computer "talks to" on the Internet. By selecting appropriate lists of "known bad" computers, you can block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been "hacked", even entire countries! They can't get in to your computer, and your computer won't try to send them anything either."

Privacy is no a crime.

It gives me their IP source and destination.

All these fuckers following me and my browsing history can piss off.

Here is the updated v1.1 peerblock - Blocks IP-addresses of corporations/governmental agencies. - Google Project Hosting

"Peer Block is a new version (aka a "fork") of the popular Peer Guardian 2 software. It blocks "known bad" computers from accessing yours, for example governments and corporations. Peer Block maintains the functionality of the original Peer Guardian 2 program, but includes fixes for various Windows Vista / Windows 7 issues that remain unaddressed in PG2."

I'm gonna check this shit out. God knows who might be trying to look in my PC here in China.

good info thanks

Excelent! Thanks

the odds are it is just legacy IP owner information. IP addresses are constantly being bought in sold in blocks from gov agency's, ISP, schools, private industry, etc. in each respective country. and the databases are manually updated.

IANA is responsible for global coordination of the Internet Protocol addressing systems, as well as the Autonomous System Numbers used for routing Internet traffic.
IANA

* the external IP of my Android phone is 21.234.228.192 and points to DoD Network Information Center (DNIC)

the CIDR has a mast bit of 8 so the IP range at the time of registration in 1991 was 16,777,214 addresses. the entry has not been updated for over 2.5 years.

* it's also not just IP addresses, local phone company's have a similar system with telephone numbers. which are also constantly being passed around to different service providers. I literally spent 2 hours on the phone about a month ago trying to find out who was responsible for a POTS number at a wallmart I was working at. I talked to Embarq, then Verizon, then Pioneer, then Sprint and back to Megapath and back to Embarq. never found out who owned the number, I passed it off.

I would like to know more about what a POTS # is. Also do you run a vpn on your android? I havent done any research yet on a good vpn to use on my android but I do know how to install TOR on my phone. It just sucks because page load times are long and sometimes come up in foreign languages lol.

any software you recommend to see who'se tracking?

POTS = Plain Old Telephone Service

Or Post Orgasmic Tiredness Syndrome , but in this case I think it's the latter..

Cookies, spyware and websites install tracking. you ned a good firewall and virus protection. Also only go to HTTPS sites.

VPN's are for secure Point-to-Point communication over the public domain (Internet) to a protected end point such as a corporate Intranet. they are not for protected web browsing, etc. unless the far end of the VPN lies on a network that has Internet access. VPN's provide secure remote access for users via the Internet to protected resources on a private network.

TOR I had not heard of until you mentioned it but you can download the software to run on Linux at this link

oh yeah i knew about what vpns are bout i wanted to know if you knew a good one to use on android. but the point is masking your IP addy. I know about the hyperlink you posted. its wise to install it on a usb flash drive.

you can use the built in VPN functions of the Android OS. not sure what kind of latency there could be on a phone, in the PC world the encryption is off-loaded on the NIC at layer 2 via hardware interrupt.

Im sure I can find this out on my own. the options I'm givien are, add PPTP, L2TP and L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN's.

Edit. the link is helpful. thanks.

Phones today are too easy to hack, record and trace.

Does peerblock slow down our computer?

^ Thanks, TJTJ

PM if there are any other anonymous and or theft protection software you'd like to know about. Check out "Prey". You can install it on your computer and mobile phone. If your laptop is jacked you can enable tracking, wiping the phone and setting off an alarm. Shit is LOUD! lol via your mobile phone and vise verse.. It takes photos of the perp with your laptop's webcam and shows the websites his viewing.(and most of the time its facebook so bam! you already got a name!) I tested it out and it work beautifully.
