Security problems!

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

he always shares my drives, bcuz he wants to steal stuff of my pc...

[Daeval]

Wait wait.. you said he didn't know anything, but he knows enough to share your drives to nab stuff over a network? That's not nothing... It's also a helluva security risk if you run a constant connection, like a cable modem, etc. Tell your folks he's going to give away their credit card information.

 

Hmm... Well does your account have access to network share properties? If not, you could at least find out if he's using the admin account or something else entirely.

I have a room mate, how could i tell if he was accessing my comp through the network? We are running cable.

Yes thats a great idea. Use alot of numbers. Just make sure you dont forget it. By knowing you, he can probably guess the password. I change my pass as often as possible to prevent my brother jacking my computer and using it for his own sick pleasures.

[Ryuken]

maybe he changes ur password, everytime he wants in and change it back anyway go here http://www.kevinrose.com/index.php/weblog/C6/P5/

 

and c if it helps

[alexis]

how about disabling the network services, it should make it useless to share and he may not find out about this, anyhow, it seems this kid knows some stuff since he can do some stuff on networking

[i l l m a t i c]

well if your brother is that young....hide the keyboard/mouse...problem solved...
