Now... "airwaves".. we call it times better high frequency magnetic fields.
it is definitely technically possible to backconclude data, registers at that, even addressed at the CPU by using "magnetic field sniffers" and appropriate finger prints.
i never heard about the reverse way.
but ... who knows ??
The closest to this RF hacking that I heard of was a radio keylogger that, once installed on a keyboard [note: the 'client' was about as thick as a sticker and as big as an E tab] would send out keytaps by transmitting the electric signals in the wire to a receiver [that had to be withing 1 km]. The receiver would then be able to decode everything.
But that still meant an additional 'device' had to be installed to the computer. Outcastone if your computer is not wireless enabled then you might want to make sure you weren't actually hacked through the wire.
Also something that puzzles me.. how did you capture that code fragment [which looks like some scripted html]? I mean most sniffers and traffic analyzers I know of monitor some devices on the box. I don't suppose your cellphone got it as an SMS so...
If it is coming through the wire there might be a rogue AP or terminal set somewhere between your box and the ISP box... it would play well into us helping you if you could tell us what type of Internet connection you have, and whatever else you know about the topography of the wiring that this connection is going through.
This is a bit extreme but if these people have resources to spend on RF transmitters they wouldn't mind splicing into the cables I think.
And I'm not passing on any judgement in regards to your mental sanity, but there are still pieces of the puzzle that seem to belong to a different box.
Tracey, you need help man. All of the things mentioned as far as the technology and possiblities of such things are still not plausible. Think about it, where are they going to find the resources for such things? The black market? Wheres the money coming from for this stuff? There porno biz? Use your brain, think about this one. You need to seek profesional help. Soon. I was even kind enough to help you get started.

And for the record, the following picture of yourself is not proof that this **** is really happening. If I had a guess it is another case of psychosomaticism.

Edit:
BTW, to everyone else that has replied to this thread: there is nothing wrong with this guys computer. There are no hackers. There is no RF device. There might be a trojan..but he will not fix this problem. It is fuel for his delusions. The guy is just unhinged. Bottom line.

Hahaha. Ok ok ok, some secret agent man is utilizing the spy secrets of the world's most powerful countries in order to switch around the keyboard assignments of some random newbie! Someone call CBS and tell them about the news! It'll probably be top story tonight...
OK, come clean and admit it's you. You're just doing this because you're bored :DQuote:

Someone posted the above, And if you would check for your self, its not all that new and it is not secert either. Please stay on topic, which is at this time SHILDING. Not little green men. COOL! Thanks
now on the subject of SHILDING
I have been looking at biulding a type of faraday cage, it would not really be a cage though but I feel it would help stop the attacks on my system if placed in the right area. I do believe I know from what direction they come from.
My question to ya'll at this time would be,
Do you think this would work? let me describe what I have in mind. and these are just rough thoughts at this time.
Taking a two pieces of cardborad, (box maybe) and a glue stick, and some fine copper mesh.
glue the strips of copper mesh on the cardborad, and repeat giveing two laryes of mesh. This should still be flexable enough to mold around the back, sides and top of the system, leaveing enough room for ventalation
The end result would be something like a box, with two sides missing, the bottom and front.
any ideas or sugestions to this approch?
Tracy G.
I think the real question is do YOU think this would work...
Several of us here have come to the conclusion that your computer is NOT being hacked via RF.
It is both logically and physically impossible with out some receiver, driver and or protocol.
If this were possible... as TigerShark has already said... we would all be out of a job.
(or for some of us... there would be no point in trying to get a computer security job)
Read up some on networking and data communciations... you need some type of transmitter/receiver and protocols... Windows ME has a hard enough time staying up let alone deciphering some secret RF transmissions... The method you are being hacked, (if you are being hacked at all), is through modem and TCP/IP. (modulator/demodulator and transmission control protocol/ internet protocol) not to mention the use of a HORRIBLE Operating System and an equally HORRIBLE ISP. Even GORE won't touch that operating system... You mentioned that you are using an eMachine PC which (before they were puchaced by Gateway) made a bad PC. Not bad as in "bad ass"... but bad as in you'll have tons of problems with it. Read the consumer reports... talk to other people who have owned them.
There are more reasons for not receiving emails... (virus and spam filters on the ISP side?)
Got lost in the big black hole we call the internet. etc.
Maybe your computer had a brain fart and the driver screwed up the keyboard mapping?
I have recommened to you several times that you scan your system for virus and trojans.
While your at it, scan for adware and spyware too. (as others have mentioned)
You have not provided results for the scans and we are unable to help you without some results.
This is in my opinion:
I think that if you make the cage and these "attacks" stop... then it was all in your head to start with.
Because what you describe is IMPOSSIBLE.
But, if it makes you feel better... by all means... have at it.
If you could take some digital images and post them on your weblog too.
Just in case we ever decide that we might need RF shielding too.
Greetings:
Cripe. Would someone close this stupid thread and ban this stupid idiot already.
FYI to the stupid idiot and to anyone else that would like to know: The word is "shielding" and it's not done to protect computers from being hacked. In the US, computers housing classified information must in most cases be kept in "vaults". People that work on these systems also work in these "vaults". The purpose of the shielding is to prevent potential espionage type activities via "Tempest" technology. Tempest refers to the ability to detect, gather, and decipher electromagnetic emissions coming from various parts of a computer (usually the monitor, but in some cases processor, etc.). This is a passive monitoring technology only. The exact requirements for such shielding are classified by the US Department of Defense. Needless to say, the technology itself, in its refined form, is also classified. However, I think it safe to say that some cardboard and a gluestick would not defeat it.
Now, why don't you spend less time worrying about your computer being hacked, and more time worrying about the secret implants that the government has surgically installed in your head, the wiretaps on all of your phones, who all of those strange people are that have been following you, and the alien anal probe that's making you waste our bandwidth on stupid crap like this.
We don't have to worry about these things in the UK :D :D :DQuote:

Hmmmmmmmmm,
1. I do not believe that you are being "hacked" as such. If you think so then you must run the anti spyware, antivirus and firewall applications already suggested, because it means that your computer has been "owned" and you would have no idea of what the hacker might have put on it. You need to be certain that is clean.
2. Harassment is a completely different scenario, but may not be deliberate. As already asked, is there anything close by that could be a source of emissions? Quite close to where I live there is a big pyramid in the middle of the moors. It is part of the DEW line, and emissions from it have been known to immobilise cars in the local pub car park...........even the Royal Air Force admit that there "might be a problem"
3. Do you have problems with other electronic devices in your house like TV, radio, cellphones?
4. As others have said, I find it improbable that you are being hacked via RF, although EMF, EMP, RFI and microwaves can interfere with other sensitive electronic equipment like computers.
5. TEMPEST is 1950's technology and is a listening not a transmitting system Nonstop and the others.............well, possible, but outside the technical and financial capacities of your suspects.
6. A faraday cage is NOT what you want................hell man, this is affecting your health! You need to find and eliminate the source. Borrow/buy/build a microwave detector. Also get a marching (magnetic) compass and see if it does anything strange when these goings on are occuring..............and turn on the TV and check for interference.
7. Remember that if you tell yourself something often enough you will start to believe it. It is time for some logical scientific investigation. So start by checking your machine for malware.
Well, that's my advice
Good luck
