RE: How to stop Admins from sniffing ?



If you are doing something that you should not be doing then maybe I would
be concerned about it. Can you show that you are suffering from network
performance problems? Is this a violation to the AUP set forth by the
company?
Other than that I would not pay any attention to it.

Hey List


I work in a small organisation and the system and network administrators
here are constantly monitoring all data in the network. I have seen them
running Etherreal on their systems and from their talks i am sure that they
know who is doing what. I m using windows XP and i have a personal firewall
installed which pop's up every few minutes saying that there is a port scan
attack going on. And when i looked up that IP address it belongs to tbe
system being used by the administrator. I have tried talking to my bosses
about this but not happened ( maybe the admins convinced them that they are
not doing anything like that or its happening by bosses permisson). i know
since they are in same network as me its easy for them to sniff all traffic
and everything.


What i want to know from you ppl is that is there is anyway way to stop this
? is it possible for me to encrypt all traffic going out from my system ?

I have never used a Anti-Sniffer but can they help ? any way out ?


Thanks in advance

Jeff
