Of course what is reasonable is determined by the owner of the network. In my work I connect to many corporate and DoD networks, and it might surprise you how many of them block access to broadbandreports.com and dslreports.com.

Of course when a site is actually blocked, you at least get some immediate feedback that you are doing something verboten. If the employer only tracks usage, but does not have a published policy regarding non-work internet usage, an employee can get a nasty surprise come evaluation time (or possibly at the next post-merger or market downturn layoff time).

They probably don't have a reason to check the logs for your traffic yet, but if it's government related, I can almost guarantee they have requirements to keep records for 3+ years. I was involved with state government many years ago and even then, we had requirements. We had to bust a guy for child porn (from a work computer no less, what a brainiac) and we had a record of everything he did. We reconstructed what NNTP groups he visited, the subject of most of his email/NNTP postings, as well as what web sites he visited. It was labor intensive, but this was also 1999. There are tool that AUTOMATE all this now ... for free. (Wireshark anyone?)

It doesn't matter what you do on the client computer to cover your tracks. They know that IP Address zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz was assigned to computer ABCD on date 1/1/2008 and on date 1/1/2008 computer ABCD visited sites XYZ.

The worst part is, even if you visit www.funnystuff.com and they advertise for www.pornsite.com, it could look like you visited www.pornsite.com if advertisements are served from the www.pornsite.com webserver.

Bottom line, if you're not prepared to justify the sites you visit (you're not going to get fired for visiting cnn.com, but you may for www.funnyjokes.com) or are not prepared to lose your job for visiting such sites, don't.

Yes, you are deluding yourself.

Assuming normal business level networking equipment, they can monitor/log as much of the traffic as they want to. And it doesn't matter how much you "clean" your PC, as the easiest place to monitor such traffic is at the network level (which you presumably don't control, even if you "control" your own work PC).

Now I'm not saying you are being monitored in this way, just that you easily could be.

NOTE: Another user mentioned that every site you visit (even if you only visit that site by IP address, and don't do a DNS lookup) can be monitored if your company uses an internet "proxy". However, while that might make the monitoring slightly easier, its not really necessary for their to be a "proxy" for you to be monitored, as a LOT of business level networking equipment has good "logging" abilities. As just one example of this, most companies are connected to the internet by one or more routers, and many routers have the ability to log date/time, and both internet addresses (for every single packet going over that router link). And while that might not technically tell a company it was you, they will know that on such and such a time your PC (identified by IP address) visited a specific location on the internet (and what that location was). And again, this is being done at the NETWORK LEVEL, so any "cleaning up of the PC" won't erase the evidence.

My question is: short of server sabotage (and abstinence towards my fave links), what can I do to either minimize or mask my browsing?
I suppose you could use a VPN to some other server not under the company's control. By doing that, you are encrypting your traffic, so they can't sniff the details.

OTOH that might not help you much, as their network logs will still be able to tell (possibly very easily) that you are setting up a VPN to a non-work server, and (while the VPN will mask the actual traffic contents) network monitoring can even tell approximately how much traffic is going over that VPN link (they presumably didn't "authorize" you to make).

Bottom line, the people that control the network can easily watch what goes over those network links. And if you are using your network link to violate the rules of your job, they are within their rights to use that evidence against you (as justification for firing you, for example). I'm not saying they will use this info against you (or even that they are monitoring things that much, as such things vary a lot between companies), just that they can easily do this level of internet monitoring if they wish.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078873 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:29:30 EDT Re: do company servers know where you've been? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078838 sfogliatelle : So far, there's not been a single mention made of the non-work related sites I go to.

My favorite AUP story was one company I was helping out had a very well written policy that every employee agreed and signed, but one day I was walking down the hall when I looked in one of the developers office there was some major hard core porn on his screen, so I asked him if that perhaps violated the AUP, and he said no, so I asked him to explain and he said it was his on his personal laptop and he was using an open wireless network connection from the apartment building next to our building so he was totally outside the agreement (he had even reconfigure that open wireless connection so he could use P2P software with it). Some people seem to have a hard time grasping the concept of a work environment, so the AUP was amended to handle use of personal or 'borrowed/stolen' hardware and network facilities within the company office (what you do on your time with your personal equipment and network connection is your business as long as it doesn't impact your job or work performance).

I can tell which users have been visiting porn sites, by checking the DNS query logs. Similarly, I can tell which users have been visiting anti-war sites.

I don't actually bother to do that. But the information is all there in the DNS query logs (assuming the DNS server is set to log queries).

If the server/ internet connection is setup correctly you are tracked. The tracking is not done by your computer so you could destroy your desktop and the record will still exist.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21076989 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:27:12 EDT do company servers know where you've been? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21076961 sfogliatelle : Pardon my naiveté in advance.

I have and use a number of programs/utilities on a regular basis to remove most all digital detritus which accumulates with ordinary browsing.

Not that I visit unsavory or questionable sites (I don't; really), but there are a few which may not be classified as 'work related'.

Even though I take the sanitizing steps I do, am I deluding my self by presuming that the boss can't determine where I've been?

My question is: short of server sabotage (and abstinence towards my fave links), what can I do to either minimize or mask my browsing?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21076961 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:20:09 EDT
