My Fucking Employer Snooping On Me...

[kouvaritakis]

Recently one of my colleagues got busted surfing got pr0n during office hours. They even had the SCREEN CAPS of his PC showing him in action - so he was caught with this pants down.

Call me paranoid, but is there a way I can find out what the snooping program is on my office laptop? They normally go under 'stealth' mode so Ctrl-Alt-Del may not work.

Or maybe a software monitoring the outbound traffic?

It's your employer, its their computers. You shouldn't be worried in the first place. You have no grounds to stand on anyways.

 

[kouvaritakis]

Kinda complicated in a way. The arrangement is that we pay for our own laptops and own them.

EDIT: Last reply pretty much invalidates my argument.

If I look at porn outside office, then it's none of my employer's fucking business. But the fact that there's a fucking spyware transmitting screen caps 24x7 doesn't sit well with me.

Get off the porn, dude..

 

[kouvaritakis]

It's really not the porn. Would you like it if *everything* you do on your computer is recorded and seen by someone else?

SSH Tunneling FTW.

The thing is its not YOUR computer it's your employer's computer

Case closed

No, it's mine - the arrangement is that we pay for own laptops. Kinda weird but that's how it works.

Ok so you paid for it... did you buy it through the company? Did their techs install windows & software for you?

 

[DanBo]

OK.. do you go through their network when you are looking at your porn?

 

[LotsOfZeros]

Re-image your hard drive + don't connect to their VPN (if you are using it at the office, then use an air card and not their network).
Solved.

If you connect to their network, you're opening yourself up to pretty much anything.

If you're that paranoid, install a different Operation System (Ubuntu for example) for your personal use.

Try Ctrl Shift Alt and some letter combinations like "k", "x" etc etc

Dude - your laptop or not, it's THEIR NETWORK, and what employer wants their employees screwing up their network while surfing for porn, IM forums, free music, torrents or midget tossing videos?

You're also on THEIR TIME - I assume you're desiring this privacy during your time at the office?

If you must surf privately while at work, take the advice above and get your own aircard and connect to the web outside your employer's network. Of course, if they have spyware on YOUR laptop, it may still screen capture while you're on your own connection and send those screenshots to your employer as soon as you connect to your employer's network anyway..

Just surf makemoniesonline.com all day, that will show them.

 

[DewChugr]

They aren't running vnc are they? Is there a keylogger on there also?

You could try these
Procecss Killer
Startup List
kldetector
SnoopFree

Get COMODO firewall, close all internet related applications like browsers and AIM, even microsoft and adobe stuff. Watch which processes have ports open and are transmitting data. comodo has a nice tool for this. Whichever process it is, kill it in task manager

Why don't you just have 2x hardrives? One for home with your stuff and one at work with the works stuff.
