Detecting Unauthorized Facebook Access
Summary
To detect unauthorized Facebook access on company devices, use network monitoring tools to identify unusual traffic patterns and VPN usage. Implement Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions to control and monitor mobile devices. Regularly audit browser extensions and check for incognito mode usage. Set up proxy servers to log and inspect internet traffic, and establish alert systems for specific activities like connecting to personal hotspots. These steps can help you catch unauthorized activities without employees knowing.Full Conversation
Ok those are all things Ive considered, but here is how I work and please if you dont mind, lets play devils advocate please. To catch a sneaker, I try to think like a sneaker. So lets do that and I will get your honest opinion. Heres the setup..Lets say I am me and you are the target employee. You have an iphone using company wifi while you are on the clock. You are to login to the company fb account each day then off again when you clock out. Lets say you only have this phone which is also company provided. If you wanted to go into fb while on duty in a covert account yet remain undetected doing so, what would you do using * facewbook protocols and the iphone * to get away with it in your mind. You can be as sneaky as you want to be even on a simple all the way up to a genius level hacker type to accomplish this. How would you accomplish this...Ready go!
I understand your need to think like the potential offenders to catch them. Here are some ways an employee might bypass security measures to access Facebook covertly:
- **VPN Usage**: They might use a VPN to mask their online activity. VPNs encrypt internet traffic and can hide the destination of their connections.
- **Incognito Mode**: Accessing Facebook through a browser's incognito mode can prevent cookies and browsing history from being saved.
- **Browser Extensions**: They could use browser extensions that mimic other traffic or hide their online activities.
- **Personal Hotspot**: They might switch to a personal hotspot on their phone to bypass the company’s network restrictions.
- **Dual Apps**: Using dual-app functionality to run multiple instances of Facebook on the same device.
Would you like to know more about how to detect any of these methods?
Yes now please tell me how to detect and set traps because to be most affective Id need to catch you in the act
To detect and set traps for these activities, consider the following:
- **Monitor VPN Traffic**: Use network monitoring tools to detect unusual VPN traffic. Look for encrypted connections that don’t match standard company use.
- **Check for Incognito Use**: Review browser histories and cache files periodically, even if incognito mode is used, remnants might be left.
- **Identify Browser Extensions**: Regularly audit browser extensions installed on company devices.
- **Track Personal Hotspots**: Use network monitoring to detect when devices switch from company WiFi to personal hotspots.
- **Monitor Dual Apps**: Use MDM solutions to see if dual apps functionality is being used.
