Dear all,


I would like to know if someone is accessing my computer. As far as i
know,  by typing netstat (in M$)..i can see someone's IP connected to
my PC, but i don't know what is being accessed (like opening file,
etc...). Is there any way or any tool to view this? Any help would be
appreciated.

Sorry for my bad english and grammar... :)
 


You can look for some information using the networking tools at
http://www.sysinternals.com/NetworkingUtilities.html , but the "killer
application" is a network sniffer like Ethereal (
http://www.ethereal.com/ , you need to install WinPcap to use it) that
allows you to see exactly what your network interface is sending and
receiving (you need some knowledge of TCP/IP stack to fully understand it).

Sorry for my bad english too :)
