Can wire taps, bugs, hacking?
    #25473202 - 09/19/18 04:48 PM (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cause your device to run slower?


Is there a way to check if somebody is in your system?
And would i possibly find out were they're at?
I havent killed nobody or nothing i just like to protect myself if need be, like an immune system electronically. Proactive over reactive.
Also if i buy an old phone off a friend i want to make sure it has no nothing.

Thank you for any knowledge, i dont have anyone to school me on this an all i see in google searches is advertising for some shit that doesnt work.

I think it is safe to assume that anything digital can be monitored. Be mindful.

Whether or not it slows your system-I don't have the knowledge to say one way or another.

Legal or illegal, yes!

They, anyone with skill and/or software can access cameras and anything else computer or phones have.  They rarely need to bug a place anymore cause there's usually a cell phone or computer or even some TV's.

They are drowning in possibility.

The Govt needs a warrant.  But at some levels they do a lot without a warrant.  They DON'T need a warrant to see your non-encrypted internet providers history or any websites history of your given IP information transactions.  They have a lot of muscle when it comes to getting biz to just turn people in...the civil libertarian thing and all that.

Former NSA technical director William Binney can validate AroundTheSon's comments.

It can but it probably wouldn't.  Most backdoors are pretty light weight, and modern computers have plenty of cpu cycles to spare.


Quote:

Is there a way to check if somebody is in your system?





Yes and no.    There are thousands of places you would need to check, it really depends on the skill of the attacker and the skill of the person who is doing the checking.   

In general, if you suspect your system could be compromised, you should back up your data and reinstall the OS, then install all security patches and updates and reinstall your apps and data.    That only takes a few hours and that way you know for sure you have kicked out any attacker - vs checking, which could take a lot longer than that, and you never really know if you checked everything.

Quote:

And would i possibly find out were they're at?





Unlikely.    You can find out where their connection is coming from, but it's probably not going to be coming from their house.    You would probably need to hack a few intermediate systems to get their home IP address.

Quote:

The best way to do that is to keep all security patches up to date.    A good free software that can help immensely with this is called Secunia PSI.

Definitely factory reset it when you get it.

Sure, anything digital can be monitored.    However the percentage of digital stuff that actually is monitored is extremely low.  In almost every case, it's unwarranted paranoia - unless you have child porn, in which case they really are out to get you.  The monitoring people aren't going to care about drugs unless you are making millions selling them.

They can, but they don't.  A remote zero day Android or iPhone bug sells for millions of dollars, they aren't going to risk losing that just so they can watch you smoke a bong.    If you are an international spy or high level terrorist, they might try something like that.

So they can see I was using reddit and cnn last week.  Big deal.  It is much more likely and damaging for them to bust in, take your devices and forensically analyze them.  That's how they get people's data 99.9% of the time.

How long would it take them to try to get back in?

What if they already had your number and knew who you were? Like if theyre hacking saw your facebook or something and they already got deep in your decive?


What if police want to spy on me? Will those steps stall an IT team?


Could anyone in your phone see you went to this site? Or does this site protect against that?

Unless your like a terrorist or downloading child pornography I wouldn't worry about them hacking into your phone/computer. Do you really think they are going to hack you and bust you for posting on the shroomery? You have to realize they have better things to do than bust someone posting about their pf cakes.

I like talking about what ifs knowing cause knowledge is power.

Id very much like to know the answers rather than live in ignorance about my world.

They likely store as much as electronic signals worldwide as they can.  It all really depends on funds.  They just don't have the money for manpower to go after every little thing online.

Doesn't mean people can do whatever they want.  Sooner or later things get old and people get caught.

It looks like the Secunia PSI software is no longer being supported,any alternatives? "This product has reached End-of-life on April 20, 2018, and therefore, no longer available."

I found some alternatives.https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi-being-discontinued-in-april/

Depends on who they are and who you are.


Quote:

If you have been hacked you need to reset your device and install current security patches.

Police aren't very good at spying, they are more likely to steal your garbage.  IT teams are pretty easy to stall.

Depends on what you mean by "in your phone".

I see him sometimes, I will ask him to increase the science.

Im no body really but evil doesnt care who you are.

Thats reassuring.

Well turns out my friend has been messing with me knowing how serious i take certain things....


He's just so aggravating and lame, they need to have a cool guy that really likes drugs to be the test guy so can really explain the effects.
When he goes over formulas he needs to slow it down so people can learn, we get it he's kinda smart.
The show is just so shallow and only interesting for the oblivious.

Well you dont need to tell him just show him this post. He didnt even go into the science of what mushrooms do to your brain or even go over a basic list of different shrooms.

Sorry end of rant.
