my mom's boyfriend is a creep

[GTaudiophile]

Next time they are out of the house, look very closely at every wall, ceiling, and air vent. Shine lights up there. Look for anything that has wires leading somewhere they shouldn't. Look for a tiny lens the size of a dime or smaller.

Otherwise, you could maybe one-up this creep. If you can install a key logger on his computer, get his passwords, track his activities. Heck, if you have a small DV camera, leave it in his computer room, pointed towards him, with some clothing over it, and find out what he's doing? I mean, if you're smart enough, two can play this game. And assuming your are under the age 18 and you catch him making vids of you, you can charge him with the production of child porn. He'd be out of the house for a while.

But most of all, get a good lock for your room and keep it shut!

use a program called angry IP to scan your subnet and you can see every IP address out there and should be able to distinguish.

I'm going to have to call shens on this.

I think you've all been blinded by the potentiality of naked pics.

quite frankly, i think youre right. but he IS a very creepy guy and i just need to be reassured. i feel so unsafe in my own house. well, my own mothers house i guess.

i guess im paranoid because he is always doing shit with the network. we have the dsl modem, a wireless router, a wireless access point, and a wireless print server. he is always changing stuff around... new router, new access point. he does this very often. it just seems odd, but then again maybe i am just dumb and there is a reason for it. who knows.

Maybe he's just a giant dork. Speaking for myself, if I saw something that could be improved, and I was going to be over a lot... I'd fix it, heh.

Honestly, have you talked to your mother about this?

Assuming the OP is being straight up this is a messed up situation. I can't imagine what it would feel like to have some creepy old dude dating my Mom and hitting on me as well as possibly watching me (assuming I was female....or hell, nowadays it happens to males often too).

First off, if you're under 18 I'd think there's SOME way of offering you protection under the law. Have you talked to your mother about this? I know talking to her could go one of two ways, either she believes you or she doesn't. Sadly, the latter is more likely to happen, and if it does it just ends up making you look like the paraniod little girl until the sick fuck gets caught.

If I were you I'd say nothing of the camera thoughts to your mom right away but just tell her you do not feel comfortable around him and suspect he may be doing some unsavory crap. That may be enough for your mom to say something or better yet do something about it.

If she doesn't help you, and you are a minor, then talk to a teacher, school counselor, hell even a police officer. If your mom won't help find someone who will.

yep

well if someone can help me i can repay them with a nakedexceptfortinfoil picture how about that?

she's worried about her mom's creepy bf seeing her naked but she has no problem getting naked for creepy ATOT members? also, this thread makes her sound underage. getting nude pics from underage girls is not a good idea. definite shens.

she still hasn't even posted any reasons why she thinks he's creepy yet, has she?

Finally, a post with intelligence! I am also calling shens on this.

if you re-arrange the letters it spells GASY. as in this thread is full of shit!

I am assuming the OP is genuine with this thread. First of all, has the BF acted in any way "inappropriate" with you? How he looks at you, made any unusual comments, things like that? Second, take the IP's of all of the devices on your network that you don't know what they are, and type them into your web browser. If it's a webcam, more than likely it has a web based admin console. You can see pretty quickly if there is one. Personally, that looks like a lot of devices on your network that you don't know what they are, so I'd definitely try this out. After this, look in all high areas (air vents, lights, things like that) and see if you notice anything. A camera is pretty easy to spot if you can get up there. Third, how old are you and are you able to move out? If you find anything, I'd say it's a good time to move out. Actually, even if you don't find anything, look into a different place, maybe with a friend or something. You shouldn't have to feel awkward in your own home. Good luck!

The foil is in reference to being paranoid.

From your lack of knowledge of the terms they are using (not that I'm an expert) I doubt you'd be able to gain access to the router as they were suggesting.

Have you mentioned to your mother that he has setup cameras? You can also go to a teacher/guidance counselor at school and they can report it to the police (especially if you are under age).

 

[dman]

How old are you? Why do you think he's creepy (beyond why all guys are creepy)? Some (ie. all) guys tend to look at girls a little too long until they are called out on it... then they learn to do it less obviously. That doesn't mean they'll install spy cams.

If he's making you uncomfortable for reasons you can document, verbal or other suggestive advances, talk to your mom or someone you can trust. If it's just a feeling, and nothing specific, why not just be an adult and talk to him about it, odds are he doesn't realize he's creeping you out (at least not as much as you've let on). Speak to him calmly and and tell him you are uncomfortable with whatever behavior it is. If he's abusive or mean or you don't feel comfortable with that approach, then go back to the first part about your mom or a teacher or someone else you know and see what they suggest.

I'm not trying to defend him, because if he is doing something wrong you shouldn't ignore it... but... I think it seems a bit odd to accuse someone of spying on you because they change the wireless router devices in the house. For that particular issue, I'd say he's just trying to find a combination of devices that works, most of the equipment out there is pretty crappy and getting it all working together can take some trial and error. Or it could be he just likes to upgrade and/or take advantage of hot-deals.

If you've got nothing but just feel paranoid (you could be watched anywhere, by anyone, really) I think your time would be better spent looking for anything suspicious in the bathroom or bedroom than looking on the network. In places you know, if anythings changed since he's been around in either of those rooms, that'd be a good start. You've linked to some sites that sell more advanced stuff but I'd say the odds of that being used without any other signs of a problem are pretty slim, in short focus on the root of the problem (him) and not so much the rest.

Set up a web camera of your own.
Seduce him.
Black mail him.
Profit

just put up some pics and the help you seek will start pouring in.

 

[mugs]

IF this camera was on your network, you may be able to find a DHCP lease for it. Do you have access to the admin control panel of the router?

Of course there are other possibilities (static IP, or a camera that does not communicate over your network)

The OP is lying! it's a man!
