Hunting the pirate

It tends to happen from one day to the next . Suddenly, without warning, we navigate slowly, very slowly. Although everything seems correct, something has changed. That App that loaded in tenths of a second now takes longer than necessary, that page that we visit every day does not open even by chance. The router works but something is wrong. Has someone hung up on our line? Once again, mobile Apps come to our rescue. In general, the intrusion detection systems in our network have always been complicated and suitable only for the initiated. Actually, the web version of Fing is too; not instead the mobile App. For her, the developers have created a simple and practical interface with detailed information that will tell us if we have intruders on our network. Fing , suitable for all types of terminals, including Amazon Kindle , it is capable of detect each and every device that is connected to our network. Each of them is able to give us details of both the device, name or manufacturer, as well as its location through the MAC address . With this we will know for sure if there is someone occupying our precious bandwidth. For those who do not want to install more applications, or simply do not trust them, there is a much more rudimentary but also valid way. It’s the test of eight for intrusion detection. What you must do is turn off all devices that use the same network. With this, if the router shows any kind of activity … Look for the thief! However, there are interferences that could alter the result of this test so it might be better to rely on specialized programs .
