Think like the NSA or CIA type of stuff

Assume they are kinda the helicopter parenting type.

Just curious… cuz maybe I have an idea for storywriting… maybe…

    So I’m not an agent but i work in IT.

    If i were inclined I would snoop traffic going over the home network probably with a packet capture with the ability to decrypt ssl traffic. So I would have tools installed on your computer/device to make that easy. This would amount for computers/ tablets and other devices that don’t have LTE/cellular connections.

    To make sure you didn’t use the tor and other end to end encryption I would block those protocols on the network.

    To make sure you were not going through other networks/hotspots I would monitor and get alerted to any new ssid’s at the house then blast the frequency that ssid is broadcasting on to make it unusable.

    To make sure your phone was always monitored I would put parental controls and backdoor remote access and logging.

    That covers a decent amount of situations I can think of off the top of my head.

    Want to circumvent this? Use internet at the friends house on a secret device that your parents will never find out about so keep it away from your house. Use online personas, don’t use your real anything online.

    • Thank you for this insight, I’m SOOO glad that my parents are tech-illiterate. Can you imagine how fucked if mom worked in actual IT? Oh fuck, all the porn sites¹… 😭 (very conservative household, “porn = bad”, and “if you touch your [penis] too much, you’ll lose the ability to have children”, wtf mom? For context: my family is from China and porn is literally illegal there)

      ¹I don’t really watch anymore… depression resulting from decades of household infighting
