I live an appartment in a basement of a home. Now the landlord had
cable outlets in the basement already. I called Rogers and got RHSI.
Ok can my landlord have a router/firewall box on their side of the
house before my connection hits the outside to filter out the
connection in anyway ? How secure is my transmissions through this
connection ? Can he listen to my connection after it leaves my modem
but the signal has to go through my landlord side of the house before
it hits box outside ?
if you mean coax, you should be fine. if you mean Ethernet outlets,
it would be different
if the cable modem is in your apartment and connected to your
wireless router, use good WPA2 or at least WPA for protection.

No not ethernet just the bare coaxial cable...I don't know but I'm
getting the impression through further research that yes it can be
done. If an adapter and software exist to do this then why not
possible ?
if you think someone is stealing your service or intercepting your
data, it is something you should contact local law enforcement and
Rogers about.
seriously, a tracert to yahoo.com should reveal every hop. and if
you think your landlord is interested in this kind of snooping, it
may be time to find other accommodations.

Yep I would agree with finding other suitable accomodations. I've
already started to give that some thought.

Actually, the first implementation of ethernet used coaxial cable...
All he needs is a packet sniffer program... He needs a very large disk
though.

Hi
If have your own Modem I doubt that he can "Listen" to any thing unless he
is a First class computer genius.
If your connection his Not on your own Modem part of the Landlord Network,
then, yes he can easily "sniff".

yes, but he is stating that the modem is in his apartment. the ISP
would be able to see the edge device and its MAC address. and a
tracert would reveal if there is anything between the modem and the
node/CMTS.
