Intruder

Can anyone recommend a program that lists who is accessing the internet
through a specific router? I have a Netgear WGR614 54 Mbps Wireless
Router set up in my apartment, and I have a slight suspicion that
someone living in the apartment next to me is accessing the internet
through my connection. The connection is provided to us by the
apartment, and they have a sort of quota system in place.

I don't exactly know what kind of program I'm looking for. I just need
something that will either log who/what uses my router, or just reject
anyone not on my network.

Check your router for a logging option.

I have it encrypted with WPA, but I'm overly paranoid about these kinds
of things.

There is a logging function for websites, but nothing for activity...

If you've got WPA on with a non-dictionary(*) password that your
neighbor can't possibly know, they are not using your network. Check
the DCHP server for a list of clients...

(*) Your turn, John.

I agree with William, if you have your traffic encrypted with WPA or WPA-PSK
with nonsense passphrase, I doubt that someone outside your allowed group is
accessing your router. Still, it doesn't hurt to make sure that your
router's web menu is password protected. If it is not and the router's web
menu does not hide your passphrase, then someone may indeed be surfing the
net via your connection.

It'a also fun to scan your network for IP's that don't belong. I use
NMap from:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/
C:\Nmap> nmap -T5 -sP 192.168.111.0/24

Starting Nmap 4.01 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2006-03-29
19:08 Pacific Standard Time
Host 192.168.111.1 appears to be up.
MAC Address: 00:00:C0:9F:FF:11 (Western Digital)
Host 192.168.111.9 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.111.33 appears to be up.
MAC Address: 00:13:10:8C:14:A9 (Cisco-Linksys)
Host 192.168.111.84 appears to be up.
MAC Address: 00:C0:02:30:20:23 (Sercomm)
Host 192.168.111.156 appears to be up.
MAC Address: 00:00:B4:66:13:7A (Edimax Computer Company)
Host 192.168.111.185 appears to be up.
MAC Address: 00:0C:F1:8A:34:FC (Intel)
Nmap finished: 256 IP addresses (6 hosts up) scanned in 5.879 seconds



Also, search Google for "wireless intrusion detection" and you'll find
some interesting reading material.

I agree with everyone else. Use WPA or WPA with a long, non-obvious
key, and you'll be sufficiently safe.

Trend Micro has an inbuilt wireless detedction and firewall, which will
notify another system connecting to your router...
Needs some skill to understand though. I feel theres better programs
around for that job... Will chk.
