I did not think of this. I will have to go into the bios to turn off the battery of my work laptop.
I have Wireshark, but haven’t really had a reason to learn it. I mostly just stare at the traffic rolling by the way they do on The Matrix. This is on the list to try.
I have x-code loaded on a Mac, but that is the closest I have to that.
It is more than your average home network. I have a dual WAN router with fiber on each to a different provider. (It is stupid overkill, but my wife and I both work from home and it is important not to be down). I use a pi-hole for ad blocking and unbound for recursive DNS resolution. Most of the devices are wired Ethernet, so I have a bunch of switches and kit to transform coax into fast Ethernet.
I don’t mess with the firewalls, because that seems like there is a big downside to messing about if you get it wrong. That is all vanilla out of the box.
This is interesting. I had to modify it to nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn <IP>.
It said the host is up with 0.077 seconds of latency. All 64k ports were scanned with 7 filtered tcp ports (host-unreachable) and the rest (no-response).
Thanks. It is neither the Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi on my windows laptop.,
I shut off my only windows machine and it is still there.
I will probably have to shut all the devices off and put them back one by one. OMG that will take a long time.
Thanks. This helps. My work computer is way newer than that. It makes me think it could be networking hardware. I have some kit that’s about that old.
It shows NOT SECURE in the browser window
It is a home network. Configured by someone who understands the basics, but is mostly following recipeies rather than having deep knowledge.
It does not show up on the DHCP table, nor does it reflect pings.
Thanks. I ran nbtstat and it came up empty.
Edit: Also, I am big on wired networks. I mostly save WI-FI for smart and mobile devices. There is a lot of stuff on Ethernet that does not need a password.
He is right!
