Reply #11: The router will tell you what IP addresses are connected [View All]

And there are utilities that will allow you to scan that particular IP address for open ports...If that computer is not secured and you know what you are doing, you can get into that computer, rummage around, and figure out who owns it.

My brother in law is working on a program that allows hackers into the system, but keeps forwarding them to a chain of bougus folders and directories....making them THINK they are getting somewhere. Meanwhile, the program is doing a reverse trace on them and downloading particular log files and such.. Pretty interesting, actually.
