Network Spying? is it possible?

[Mrfrog840]

OK on my home network can i use a program so that i can like see what a user is doing on the other computer? I thought i could do it through remote connection, but i cant figure it out

 

[Anubis]

you can do it with a key logger

 

[Mrfrog840]

no like in a little window so i can see their mouse move and stuff

You could use a packet sniffer to see the information coming and going to and from the computers. Just make sure you only use it on your local lan.

A program like Timbuktu can do that, but it leaves a footprint (i.e. it's easy for the target to detect and neutralize). You might look into using Back Orifice.. As always, I don't recommend your doing anything illegal.

 

[Mrfrog840]

Its not illegal. I legally own both computers. It would just be inside my own house
someone has been looking at XXX and i want to know who it is because ive been getting blamed for it
heh

 

[Sukhoi]

Nah, just let them go. Now you can look at porn and blame it on them.

Try a program called Real VNC.

This will let you take over the mouse/keyboard too if you want.


EDIT: Looks like ReelCOOL beat me to it.

IT departments regularly have the ability to see exactly what you're doing. In fact, lots of software out there lets IT officials watch on their monitor, in a smaller window, exactly what you see in your monitor as if they were sitting next to you watching with you. I read about a software/hardware combo that projects up to 30 or so miniature windows, through the use of a visor, in front of a technician for him to monitor simultaneously. I don't think it ever caught on, but one company was trying to get that started.

But, yes, you can monitor anything on a network, including things done even on a single system, not related to the network at all.

There are several programs... Altiris remote control and SMS come to mind.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

SMS is used where I used to work.

dameware is the shiznat

I normally use Terminal Server, but that creates a 2nd virtual "Desktop" on the computer the server runs on. Since you want to see whats on the current desktop, I'd suggest VNC. Unless, that is, the person you're watching is too smart to know that they can pretty easily turn the VNC server off.

high tech:
just use a sniffer...
u can see their traffic...capture it, log it.
good enuff. do u really wanna sit there and watch someone click on menus?...yech!...

low tech:
another thing u can do is share out their IE cookies, history...hell C:...or just $
then u can browse into their system whenever u want to and see where they been
going to...

lower tech:
jump into their room suddenly and yell "AH-HA!..."
