Hello, IT rookie here. I live alone in an apartment. I only have my desktop and android phone connected to my router. I turned off my wireless, but there still appears to be a linux machine connected to my network.

Can anyone help me figure out how to identify this mysterious network client?

Is the NSA after me? Hackers?

HELP

P

Note** I tend to piss people off, it just comes naturally to me and I don't even realize I'm doing it. Not joking at all. But now I'm feeling quite paranoid. I don't think I've pissed anyone off to the extent that they would hack my network. But if they did, my banking, and other sensitive data could be compromised because I don't really do anything to protect myself. Luckily the bank accounts I manage online don't have much money in them. But I'm not too keen on having my other data exposed.

Has it occurred to you that your Android phone is a Linux machine?

All three entries there are the same machine.

>>62294759
Windows will keep a device in it's network list even if it's disconnected, at least for a few minutes.

Walk slowly out, with your hands in the air. No sudden movements. Now.

all three entries are connected via ethernet. someone's plugged an extra machine into the router and OP didn't notice it.

OP: trace the extra cable, and it'll lead you to the culprit.
>>
>>62297706
there is no extra cable, that's OP's pc. All three entries are the same pc. All three cables are the same cable. damn you're dumb

Not the same anon, but fuck, you're so fucking autistic you can't even pick up a satire.

>>62294759
Ping it by the name. Look for a "devices" page on your router.

>>62297706
Same Mac address...

That's literal autism

It's over. Turn yourself into the FBI. Better to strike a plea bargain now than to earn yourself a hefty sentence.

What if they spoofed his mac address to log in?
DUN DUN DUNNN
>>
>>62297989
If that's another interface, OP's PC would go offline.
>>
>>62294791
Same MAC address so same network card.
Which it means those are all the same PC opening connections for some reason.
