Fame Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If I turn on my smartphone HotSpot, how can I find out if someone else is using my data or trying to crack my password? Also how can I find out what site surfed or softwares was downloaded using my wifi/HotSpot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeSmithG Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's nice to see the correct word ''crack'' used mazel tov. Make sure your password is hard to ''crack'' and not something silly like a post/zip code or a cartoon character or your date of birth. If the site has a very strong password then no need to worry. I had a neighbour once just to change this slightly that did not use a password for their WiFi. So my daughter piggy backed off it and 24/7/365 for around three years till their I.S.P. changed she downloaded a lot of art stuff, softwares for art and browsed and browsed and browsed the net. I am sure if you browse www.majorgeeks.com their is hot spot protection software and I am sure it may answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, Sir, are a dismal example of bad parenting! The right thing to do would have been to inform your neighbor of the situation. But you felt it was more important to teach your offspring to take wrongful advantage of said situation. You would have gotten into a furor knowing you were on the receiving end of that abuse! Kudos to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you such a melt, my daughter is an adult and was an adult at the time, she graduates from University this year. How would I know which neighbour it was I live in a cul-de-sac surrounded by one hundred (100) houses. The idiot neighbour should password protect their WiFi connection, I could be a paedophile or a criminal and used their i.p. address for criminal activity. They would get the blame.

Whoopenstein Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Open wifi could be that way on purpose - so they can sniff your data for passwords, etc . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicSahar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is interesting , open your router page , then go to wireless and then click station information. Check mac addresses , if you saw unknown Mac address it means someone else is using your internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raur Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 You can also use WhoIsOnMyWiFi app if it's an android smarthphone. Been using the windows app and android app, so far it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
