Security problems!

thx alot

[alexis]

first of all what is your OS, another thing you should do is to disable guest accounts, your bro can get in using a guest account and then gain admionistrative rights or stuff, but this depends on your OS, another question is how old is oyur bro and how much does he knoes of comps, and this thread should be on the PC technical suppport section, topic moved

it's very small under a meg, and after that send it to me on my AIM, neobloodforce

How did he give himself away? I mean, how did you know he was getting on your comp?

[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.

Make them both *really* hard.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

Imma just cahnge the pass, add a bios pass, and add a desktop locker if I wanna leave the pc running

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/
