Hello, Does anyone knows how can i identify any proxy or network sniffer working on my network?
A proxy is usually something run by the network admin; a server to handle connections so that the admin can filter out certain things, or to control who accesses what. If you mean a proxy as in a webpage that someone tunnels other traffic through, check what URLs people are requesting. If it has “proxy” in the name, they’re probably doing NSFW stuff. As for sniffers, have a look at nmap. It should show you all of the hosts connected to the network, as well as any open ports they have. Then, it should be a matter of checking who (physically) matches which IP address. Wireshark could also be used in that sort of way, to see who’s requesting what, but nmap is a bit more specialised for that sort of thing. Make sure you’re doing white-hat stuff! Snooping on your network can be a bit ethically iffy.
