Can people see what I'm doing on the internet on my computer if I'm sharing a WiFi connection with other people? Like through a wireless router?

Answer 1

*taps marshmallow on the shoulder* "HI, ohhh, you're watchin porn!"

Answer 2

Yes , any packets routed through a central server can be obtained and analyzed by that central server. In wifi connections the security goes one step down in that the packets are obtainable by anyone with a wifi card in monitor mode. Encrypting network traffic makes it hard, but not really impossible to get the info.

Answer 3

any computer on the face of this planet can be broken into and viewed all you need is the right programs a wireless modem and a GPS unit and a laptop You can track a computer to the persons location or place or moving car. unless it is not hooked to the internet but the phone lines could still be tracked!

oh and FYI: President Bush signed a bill into affect to allow police and athurities access to tap into the connection at the isp if they suspect frud

Answer 4

It is all to do with the level of security your WiFi is set at.
If you are sharing files and drives and your security level is set low then everything you have been doing can be recorded.
If someone puts a "cookie" or "malware" on your system then everything you do can be recorded.
Netboy your answer is stupid.
In a few words you say "no-one" can hack in then in the very next few words you say that someone can if they are a "hacker".
As your name is Netboy just keep to fishing because you know nothing about networking.

Answer 5

Yes and no. A hacker can examine the info packets going through your network, and a systems admin can if you are on a private network, and the admin at your ISP can see the packets, too. They can't pull up your screen unless you have a remote desktop program like PC Anywhere and somebody knows how to log into your PC with it.

Answer 6

yes... well.. .in a way. if your network isnt secured or if there is a hacker, they can see all data sent and recieved from your computer. so if you send out your credit card number as an example, it would be hard to find in all the code and stuff but its there. not likeley... just make sure you have a secured connection with some sort of encryption and you should be good.

Answer 7

No and yes. They can use a packet sniffer but they would have to set it all up and its not easy. A packet sniffer can only depict some images , cookies passwords stuff like that but its extremely unlikely. Only the hacker type would have one and set it up properly.

Also there are programs that can monitor your activity on your PC like a remote desktop link. But they would half to be installed on your PC.

other then what I said above you should be OK.

Answer 8

No. They have to share a network with you and have special software to do that. Sharing a wifi, doesn't create a network with anyone unless you set one up, which requires your action.

Answer 9

as long as u don't let them. They can install VNC viewer on ur desktop and see everything u r doing. Or then can put a sniffer that will log all ur activities but none of it without ur known or unknown consent to install it.

Answer 10

no, noone can see what you are doing (unless they are a devoted hacker in wich case they can see what you are doing even if you have the most powerfull firewall on earth, WiFi is not unsecure if set up properly)

Answer 11

Yes , I am white hat hacker and we know enough technique that we can do , just think abt the things the black hat people can do.
