hello /g/ents.
I recently moved into a new apartment complex recently and they lied to us about our service provider. Before signing the lease, we were told we would have the option to go with Comcast or Century Link. This was a lie, for the first 3 months, noone in the building had internet. We finally go hooked up yesterday with a small isp company with about 50 employees. The apartments were built with a cat5 hookup directly into the wall, which goes to one central modem wired to all the apartments. The cable company never asked us to sign a TOS or anything. We just plug the cat5 directly to the wall and pay them 50$ a month for 20mbs. all this along with the fact there is cameras everywhere, and apparently the management can walk into your apartment at anytime without notice, I'm worried my internet traffic is being spied on. Is there anything I can do to determine if my traffic is being spyied on?

What the actual fuck.
Go away from there.

Your traffic is being spied on regardless of where you are or who you get service from, but you should still definitely follow this anons advice >>61713007
All sounds very dodgy. Move before something gets worse.

the faggot agreed to it
>use alternative DNS
>use HTTPS
now it's literally impossible for your ISP or a wiretap to spy on you.
Trace it...

- Use DNSSEC
- Use Arpcop to check for ARP-Spoofing (other people in the same building can spy on you just by using ancient arp-poisioning techniques)
- Use HTTPS if possible
- If you can, get yourself a reliable VPN or rent a cheap Server and set up a VPN yourself

Addition:
Arpcop is a plugin for Ettercap:

Ettercap also allows you to spy on others in the same building. Just saying. (as long as they aren't using https and dnssec)

i would, but was the only thing i could afford at the time and am now locked into a lease for the next 9 months. I got a mean ass guard dog that the managment most have already has the displeasure of meeting, because she was terrified of him without ever meeting him. My guess is, she opened my door one day and he was there, blocking her path, and in his fashion, probably lunged at her.
The lie about the Internet has me tripped out though. I've been waiting for it for months, and now i finally have it, i dont want to use it

appreciate this. I know a bit about coding but my networking knowledge is kind of pathetic

Okay then.
As long as you use HTTPS your ISP/Other Tenants won't be able to see the content you are requesting. They will see the domains you visit though (so youtube.com but not specific videos watched).
You could look into the Opera VPN, which is free and should protect you from pretty much all attemps of spying on you:
http://www.opera.com/computer/features/free-vpn
You have to trust the Opera-Servers though. Same here, Opera might be able to see the domains, not the content of https-enabled connections.

how would i learn to use this

>Locked into the lease
You aren't if your agreed upon internet options were in the lease. Take them to a small claims court to have the contract voided.

Fucking google it? Youtube Tutorials? Buy a book on Network-Basics?
