Title: lga15s43-in-f7.1e100.net google needs to spy on you for your own safety
Post by: angryChineseKahanist on August 08, 2014, 04:01:37 AM

I open up chrome on my tablet and put in a local address. Yes I said a LOCAL IP - 10.0.0.x. That's the computer sitting right next to me. There should be no outside activity. But chrome sends some string to lga15s43-in-f7.1e100.net just to make sure the website I'm going to is safe.

Yes, I know 1e100.net is all of googles search servers. So when you are stupid enough to type something in that search box next to the address bar, your search query goes there.

How do I know? I run my own gateway on a linux virtual machine. I monitor all traffic.

So for those of you who refuse to use anything but chrome, use something else.

Did you ever figure out anything for phones and tablets?

Sorry. Forgot about snort.
But many sniffers use tcpdump or similar.

You can always use tcpdump -i any (linux) to sniff out all traffic from all networks on your LAN.

I have been saying this for a long time. Never use Google Chrome.

Go here and protect yourself:

On mobile phones, tablets, and devices, use the LastPass browser (link is in the above post).

A nice front end GUI for sniffers is WireShark... I use it regularly to debug network issues...
