I was told by my IT friend sounds like someone "owns my router." I read through the Snort manual but don't understand 80% of it. Can someone point me in the direction of some tools/tutorials/sugestions as to how to monitor my network for intrusion?
I know the basics such as complex & long passwords, disabling remote management of router, "stealthing" the router, etc. but it is obvious someone is having fun at my expense (blocking my often visited wepages with a "webpage is having diffulties -- click here for help" suspicious looking dialogue message that I naturally ignore and the website works fine on my neighbors computer.
I followed your guidance on running malware scanners of various kinds and comes up clean, but I have strong reason to believe my network has been compromised. I am using the router as my DHCP server linking to OpenDNS, and have configured my browser to use my router's IP as the DNS server. Network sharing and Netbios over Tcip is disabled per GRC site recommendations. Sometimes when I log in I get "New private network detected" -- then disconnect and try again then it will work and connect to network 1 (my router). Thanks.
