我是否通过我的计算机(Computer)网络摄像头被监视?这是一个困扰你的问题吗?好吧,大多数办公室的 IT 人员都在不断地嗅探网络上的数据包,以了解网络中发生了什么。一些管理员会在个人计算机上安装嗅探软件,以便他们不断获取您正在执行的操作的屏幕截图。在个人电脑和BYOD的情况下,使用一组软件工具很容易重建您正在做的事情。本文告诉您是否在计算机或平板电脑上被监视,然后提供一些提示以避免被监视或监视。
我被电脑监视了吗?
这很难说,但在办公网络中,IT 人员通常会检查来自您的计算机或平板电脑的数据包并分析它们以了解您在做什么。(packets)如果数据请求(下载)变得太高,管理员会知道您正在积极上网或下载某些东西。在这种情况下,他们可以简单地检查传入的数据包并了解您的计算机或平板电脑发生了什么。简而言之,如果您已连接到网络,则很有可能您正在通过自己的计算机被监视。
如果它是连接到办公网络的个人计算机或平板电脑,那么您也很可能被监视。
来到专用网络,您无法确定自己是否被某些黑客监视。如果您没有采取充分的安全措施来保护您的设备安全,则不能排除这种可能性。
例如,使用远程访问技术 (RAT)(Remote Access Technology (RAT))(Remote Access Technology (RAT)),黑客可能会破坏您的系统,并可能使用您自己的网络摄像头(webcam)监视您!这听起来令人毛骨悚然,但它发生在许多人身上。
有三种方法可以知道您是否被监视:
- 鼠标光标处于活动状态,无需您触摸任何输入设备
- 电脑屏幕定期闪烁
- 任务管理器(Task Manager)中有一个进程提示某种黑客活动
虽然前两个很容易注意到,但您可能必须使用第三种方法。任务管理器(Task Manager)窗口中的大多数进程都是技术人员知道的。对于未被识别的过程,他或她可能会搜索以了解有关该过程的更多信息。同样,外行也可以搜索,但研究所有过程需要大量时间。
但是,如果您怀疑自己被监视,最好通过检查任务管理器(Task Manager)中的所有进程来确保,特别是如果您在家,使用自己的网络而不是办公室网络。
提示(TIP):使用 Who Stalks My Cam 软件防止网络摄像头黑客攻击。
如何避免被在线观看
有一些简单的方法可以避免被监视,最好的方法是使用诸如 UltraSurf 之类的代理或诸如 SpotFlux 之类的VPN。但是,如果 IT 部门的官员没有看到您计算机中的任何数据,他们的怀疑程度可能会增加,导致他们亲自到您的工作站来检查您在计算机上所做的事情。
我建议保持办公室工作和私人工作不同,这样您就不必使用办公时间或办公室网络进行个人工作。在办公室做一些个人工作是可以的,但如果你在Facebook(Facebook)或Twitter上花费太多时间,你可能会得到一个糟糕的记录,这会以某种或其他方式适得其反。
VPN(VPNs)和代理(Proxies)严格禁止在办公室使用,除非您有充分的理由并且要在很短的时间内使用它们。但如果是您的个人网络,在家里或办公室,您可以使用VPN来避免被监视。VPN(VPNs)创建了从您的计算机到VPN服务提供商的服务器的私人通道,因此 IT 人员或黑客将无法知道您在做什么。

同样,如果案例是黑客,您可能希望永久修复它,而不仅仅是使用VPN。在黑客入侵的情况下,最好的方法是格式化并重新安装所有内容,以便删除任何RAT 软件。(RAT software)如果您怀疑并且不确定,请检查任务管理器(Task Manager)中的进程,如果您发现任何无法解释或可疑的内容,只需格式化系统驱动器并重新安装操作系统和程序。这样,您将摆脱远程访问技术(Remote Access Technology)( RAT )。之后,使用VPN避免被您的ISP和政府机构监视。
如果您不使用集成摄像头,不妨禁用网络摄像头(disable the webcam)。如果您担心Windows PC 被其他人监视,请查看Detekt,这是一款免费的 Windows 反监视间谍软件扫描程序。
Windows用户必须安装好的安全软件(good security software)。如果他们不使用或不需要Windows 远程访问,他们还可以使用Control Panel > System > Remote Settings关闭Windows 远程访问。(Windows Remote Access)如果您觉得不需要远程管理工具(Remote Administration Tool)软件并且想要保护您的计算机,您首先要取消选中“系统属性(System Properties)”对话框中“远程”下的“允许远程协助连接到这台计算机”,当您右键单击“计算机”(Remote)图标时(Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer)出现(Computer)的对话框,然后从生成的上下文菜单中选择属性。您也可以选中不允许连接到此计算机(Don’t allow connections to this computer)。关闭远程访问(Remote Access)将有助于保护您的隐私。

How to avoid being watched through your own Computer?
Am I bеing watched through mу Computer webcam? Is this a question that is troubling you? Well, most offices, IT people kееp on sniffing the datа packets on the network to see what is going on іn the netwоrk. Some admins go to the extent of installing sniffing software on individυаl computers so that they keep getting scrеenshots of what you are doing. In the case of personal cоmputers and BYOD too, it is easy to reconstruct what you were doing, using a set of software tools. This article tells you if you are being watched on your computer or tablet and then provides some tips to avoid being watched or monitored.
Am I being watched through my computer?
It is not easy to tell, but in an office network, often the IT staff checks out packets originating from your computer or tablet and analyzes them to see what you are up to. If the data requests (downloads) become too high, the admins will know you are actively surfing or downloading something. In that case, they can simply check in the incoming packets and know what is going on with your computer or tablet. In short, if you are connected to the network, there is a high probability that you are being watched through your own computer.
If it is a personal computer or tablet connected to the office network, then too, it is probable that you may be being watched.
Coming to private networks, you cannot be sure if you are being watched by some hacker. If you have not been taking ample security measures to keep your device safe, then this possibility cannot be ruled out.
For example, using Remote Access Technology (RAT), hackers could have compromised your system and maybe watching you using your own webcam! That sounds creepy, but it has happened to many.
There are three methods to know if you are being watched:
- The mouse cursor is active without you touching any input device
- The screen of the computer keeps blinking at regular intervals
- There is a process in the Task Manager that suggests some sort of hack activity
While the first two are easy to notice, you may have to work on the third method. Most processes in the Task Manager window are known to a technical person. And for the processes that are not recognized, he or she may search to know more about that process. Likewise a layman, too, can search, but it will take a good amount of time to research all processes.
But if you have a suspicion that you are being monitored, it is better to make sure by checking out all the processes in the Task Manager, especially if you are at home, using your own network instead of the office network.

How to avoid being watched online
There are some simple methods to avoid being watched out of which, the best is to use a proxy such as UltraSurf or a VPN such as SpotFlux. But then, if the officials at the IT department do not see any data from your computer, the levels of their suspicions may increase, leading them to personally check out what you are doing on the computer by coming to your workstation.
I will suggest keeping office work and private work different so that you do not have to use office hours or the office network for personal work. A little bit of personal work at the office is okay, but if you are spending too much time on Facebook or Twitter, you may get a bad record that will backfire in some or the other way.
VPNs and Proxies are a strict no for use at the office unless you have a good reason for it and that you are to use them for a very brief period of time. But if it is your personal network, at home or office, you may use a VPN to avoid being watched. VPNs create a private channel from your computer to the VPN service providers’ servers, so the IT people or the hackers will not be able to know what you are doing.

Again, if the case is hackers, you would want to fix it permanently instead of just using a VPN. In the case of a hack, the best method is to format and reinstall everything so that any RAT software is removed. If you are suspicious and are not sure, check out the processes in the Task Manager and if you find anything that cannot be explained or is suspicious, simply format the system drive and reinstall the OS and programs. That way, you will get rid of Remote Access Technology (RAT). After that, use a VPN to avoid being watched by your ISP and government agencies.
If you do not use your integrated camera, you might as well disable the webcam. If you are worried about Windows PC being monitored by someone else, have a look at Detekt, a free anti-surveillance spyware scanner for Windows.
Windows users must install a good security software. They can also turn off Windows Remote Access using the Control Panel > System > Remote Settings, if they do not use or need it. If you do not feel the need for a Remote Administration Tool software and want to protect your computer, you start with unchecking the Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer under Remote in System Properties dialog box that appears when you right-click Computer icon and then select Properties from the resulting context menu. You may also check the Don’t allow connections to this computer. Turning off Remote Access will help a little more in securing your privacy.
