Can someone install wireshark on my home WiFi network if they are able to get into it (ie., a guest in my home who used my WiFi on a cell phone)? Is there any way to detect whether they did this? Thank you. asked 11 Dec '15, 10:27  Tiffany |
One Answer:
In general - yes, a packet sniffing tool, even if not exactly Wireshark, may be installed not only to computers but also to some types of home routers (which are actually small computers as well). However, it requires quite some effort even if the particular model of the router allows it. Do you have reasons to believe that it has happened in your case? Because if we talk about the home router, it is hard to find out, but should be easy to get rid of it by re-flashing the router with the original firmware. answered 11 Dec '15, 13:06  sindy edited 11 Dec '15, 13:08 |
