using '-a' before the IP address while pinging reveals the computers name.
and using that MAC ID can be found too.
So how does one stay stealth on net ?
-
-
though shalt tunnel before browsing the internet
SSH tunneling is the way to cover your tracks -
SSH Tunneling/VPN or bouncing off several proxys
-
Or wear a ninja costume while sitting at the keyboard. Works for me.

what for? to stop people from seeing what you are on? or stop people from being able to hack your comp?
i dont want people seeing what iam viewing/downloading - not thats its illegal but becuase its my business not theres -
I believe there is a program with an integrated firewall which allows you to be stealth in any parameters. It covers your traces or leads. I forgot the name of this program but I know its a firewall with an integrated feature. I have to find it out though.
On the other hand, proxies may also work too for stealth mode -
you could use this but i tried it out once and my connection had some lag, but that should be expected.

meh SSH works best. then you make sure to tunnel your DNS requests
-
atthegates beat me to it. I was gonna suggest vidalia bundle.

it uses Tor network to hide the ip i think -
Well yeah it uses Tor network. Keep in mind that some sites don't allow Tor and you gotta turn it off(which is not a problem and if you use Firefox there is a Tor extension). Your surfing speed will probably decrease because when you use the Tor network you depend mostly of donated bandwidth( relays)..Also Tor doesn't work with p2p( old info maybe it works now..)
Check Tor's website for more detailed info because I haven't used Tor in a really long time so there might be a lots of improvements & information that I'm not aware of. -
Okay so if someone runs a Tracert or Pings my IP will he be able to get info about my sys and MAc id?
how about someone using NMap?
i want a software which blocks port scans on my system. -
software sucks for blocking anything. thats what a firewall is for. what the hell are you so worried about it for? lol
nmap is software that checks a list of common open ports.
firewall is what blocks all incoming ports other then the ones you specify.
your mac address will be noticable no matter the case unless you ssh tunnel.
mac address is nothing personal but it can help track down who made your computer and various other pieces that are pointless.
tracert will tell me what IP block you are on and in the end your ISP. -
tor is the cheap and easy way to do it. if you really want to get the speed that you deserve and tunnel everything and encrypt every bit of it then you need to get a shell account and SSH.

Okay i am checkin out Putty.
is it better? -
Putty is just a SSH/Telnet client....right?
