Subject: RE: Wireless Security (Part 2)
: Hi Herman,
: I don't think you'd get what you wanted from ipconfig /all-it would
: show you gateways/dns etc but not other machines that are connected
: to yours. Netstat could do that. Your router may have some ability
: to show connections in a gui or even in the logs.
: You could possibly use arp to work out MAC addresses too. Working
: out IP's on a wireless network is only part of the solution
: though--where are they physically? You'd need some kind of tool to
: narrow that down. I know Netstumbler is good for checking AP's but
: don't know if it can be used to find wireless NIC's that are
: connected. Might be worth investigating--someone else on the list
: may be better at telling you that. As ever, change the keys for the
: SSID often if it is using WEP or go to WPA if the router has the
: capability. Good luck.

Murad,
I through ipconfig/all out there for discussion. I figured that
there had to be tools out there that could gleam information on an
attacking computer without actually going into said attacker's
computer.
And as you've said one needs to change certain parameter's on a
regular basis, to keep those who would try to illegally access one's
network OUT of it. As all the evidence gathering ISN'T going to do
one any good if the criminals have already done their damage. :-(
