: It is reasons like yours that democracy exists.
: It is your right in the USA (if so you live here) and several other
: countries to evaluate anything you want on any system attaching to
: something you own. (I am not very knowledgeable about other
: countries IT policies.)
: I feel as the owner of any network system that one must take it
: upon themselves to monitor/maintain/evaluate your network
: constantly for possible threats or rogue devices. If the proper
: steps are taken to ensure proper client
: registration/authentication/verification then all unknown devices
: should be identified in any way possible to prevent
: unauthorized/malicious content. If your wireless is seeing too many
: users try reducing your signal strength, and if it is for a
: neighbors benefit I suggest cutting them off.
: As security moves forward it is a matter of time before "IP
: tapping" begins (It already is beginning for some of you I know).
: With that said every time you call tech support and give them your
: name, address or even in some cases your SS# they place that
: information in to a database that accesses all information they
: need to identify you and the hardware they installed or you
: registered at your house. Somewhere in your agreement you signed
: (digitally or physical) it states you are responsible for anything
: connected to the device. So I ask you, is it still an issue to find
: out who is using your internet access at all times? What would
: happen if your guest grabbed some child pornography, yes you would
: have some definite issues that is for certain. Or with the laws on
: "National Security" you have someone jump on your network, download
: plans for a nuclear attack all the while spoofing your machine just
: because they need to hide. It is not very hard and could happen
: more than you o r I would want to know. Now I know this might sound
: paranoid or obsessive compulsive but what happens when you get
: raided and they take everything and scare the hell out of your
: family/friends. No they don’t give you your stuff back and you
: might get off without any issues. That is if you can prove you
: don’t know who is on your system.
: Please do what you can to secure your information; convenience is
: not always a good thing!

Mike,

You raise some very good concerns/questions. And I would in
response to your statement that it could sound to be "paranoid or
obsessive compulsive," but I would answer with the "old joke" of
"Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean that there isn't someone is
after you."

And I agree that everything that is going on in today's world that
that "innocent" Wi-Fi leach could very well be the next 9/11
terrorist/bomber, or a pedophile that hasn't be caught yet.

As you've said there are a LOT of legitimate reasons for someone who
has deployed any kind of network to identify each and EVERY device
that is connected to it.

Herman
Live Long and Prosper
