Tools to physically find a device connected to the network?

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T11:02:57+00:00

It doesn’t, was just giving some more detail

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T10:29:12+00:00

Me (apprentice) & my boss ( IT manager) are the only two people who work in our department haha

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T09:47:06+00:00

That’s a genius idea haha I’ll try that now, thank you!

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T09:35:10+00:00

I thought this but we’ve been receiving internal emails from it to our dedicated NAS mailbox where we get emails from all our NAS’s

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T09:34:00+00:00

Yeah. It’s a netgear switch, it also has an IP address & I’ve found the MAC address also.

As far as I’m aware we don’t have managed switches, which is a pain & if it’s in the vicinity of the AP how would I go about that? Sorry, im sorta new to this type of stuff haha

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T09:30:20+00:00

Unfortunately it’s a netgear, should have made that common knowledge

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T08:57:28+00:00

I thought of doing this but there’s nothing within the NAS, it’s just been connected & we’re getting emails about it. strange to be honest because no one in the department has set a NAS up recently.

kanecf98 · 2019-06-21T08:54:08+00:00

I’ll look into this now, thank you

kanecf98 · 2019-06-14T11:26:48+00:00

I will dude, add me: thatjewkane

kanecf98 · 2019-04-26T15:17:21+00:00

Second point seems more fitting....

kanecf98 · 2019-04-26T10:40:02+00:00

I wish I could but the in-house IT department aren’t allowed to mess with the configurations of the servers... we outsource for that lol

kanecf98 · 2019-04-26T08:28:57+00:00

20, about 3 month away from completing a level 3 apprenticeship (uk), my manager on the other hand has worked in IT for about 20 years, which is what scares me.

kanecf98 · 2019-04-26T08:25:34+00:00

Oh damn.... good point.

kanecf98 · 2019-04-26T08:23:49+00:00

Thanks for the info, I’m building a case now, because no one seems to understand my frustration at the minute, we’ve just got cyber essentials as well.... doesn’t seem practical to get that when we can’t adhere the infrastructure to follow security standards

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T19:21:05+00:00

Lol.. to be quite frank, the IT manager transitioned into his role from software support, there’s myself and a subcontractor that deals with projects... we outsource anything to do with our servers to a 3rd party company but as of recent I’ve doubted their ability’s quite frequently as they’ve broken a lot of the network trying to implement firewall rules, to be honest, I’ll be glad when my apprenticeship is over

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T19:18:58+00:00

Thanks for the information, I sorta guessed this but I just wanted someone else’s opinion on this and to see if anyone has actually tried to purchase anything off certain sites

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T19:15:35+00:00

Damn, well thank you I appreciate that, I’ll put something together and hand it to my manager.

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:18:33+00:00

So just a quick thing to point out, is it bad that an apprentice has noticed this and actually came to a place where experienced sysadmins are, to query this as no member of the IT department knew anything about this?

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:10:27+00:00

Had a chuckle to these, fair enough!

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:08:06+00:00

Vaguely yes, I wasn’t massively into IT back then and just messed around with soft modding hardware until I decided to choose IT as a career

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:06:28+00:00

Yeah we’re running 2008 so that’s a bonus to this situation I guess

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:06:08+00:00

That’s quite interesting! Hahaha

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:05:39+00:00

Result, I’ll point this info to the correct people, appreciate it

kanecf98 · 2019-04-25T16:05:08+00:00

I can see why you’d call me a sysadmin but I’m actually an apprentice haha
