Don’t forget us!

Not disagreeing with you. Just making clear that it is actually worse.

A Karen and a cop can’t put someone in jail. It takes a prosecutor, a judge and a jury of her peers.

Weather.gov

Weather.gov had the front page downgraded during the Trump administration.

However, if you take a second and put in your ZIP Code and poke around some, it is really freaking good.

And it’s free.

I have quite a few smart home devices. But the only “crappy IoT things” is an air purifier that is controlled by phone.

Unfortunately, I bought quite a few T-Link products before the IC revealed that they are dangerous.

It is worth exploring.

Edit TP-Link

I had set my router to track IP Statistics. There were 9 packets sent and received to that IP.

Thanks!

I did not think of this. I will have to go into the bios to turn off the battery of my work laptop.

It is probably going to come to this.

I have Wireshark, but haven’t really had a reason to learn it. I mostly just stare at the traffic rolling by the way they do on The Matrix. This is on the list to try.

I have x-code loaded on a Mac, but that is the closest I have to that.

It does, and it’s not listed there.

It is more than your average home network. I have a dual WAN router with fiber on each to a different provider. (It is stupid overkill, but my wife and I both work from home and it is important not to be down). I use a pi-hole for ad blocking and unbound for recursive DNS resolution. Most of the devices are wired Ethernet, so I have a bunch of switches and kit to transform coax into fast Ethernet.

I don’t mess with the firewalls, because that seems like there is a big downside to messing about if you get it wrong. That is all vanilla out of the box.

Sounds like purchasing got a deal on surplus spook gear.

lol!

That gave nothing useful

This is interesting. I had to modify it to nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn <IP>.

It said the host is up with 0.077 seconds of latency. All 64k ports were scanned with 7 filtered tcp ports (host-unreachable) and the rest (no-response).

Thanks. It is neither the Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi on my windows laptop.,
