There is a nifty little application floating around the web called ZamZom. It’s a nice and simple lightweight application that can see everyone that is using your network, both wired and wireless. The free version sadly does not show any computer names, so it is rather difficult to tell who exactly is using your network. It is $12.50 to upgrade to the full version which will show each computer’s name that is on the network.
If you live in a very rural area, then obviously this isn’t for you unless you think some crazy guy is living under a rock near your house, but if you are that worried about it then you should probably hire some sort of private investigator.
If you live in an apartment complex, then you should probably check this out! Even with security measures and passwords in place, you never know who might be connected to your network! It’s worth checking out, because obviously you don’t want your profiles stolen with contact information or more!
As you can see from the screenshot on the left, it shows both my router and my iPhone as the only connected devices on my network, which is just how it should be. I only know what these two devices are because I assigned them their IP Addresses manually, and also I know their MAC Addresses as well. If you see something in this list that you don’t recognize, you are unsecured and should change your security practices with your router quickly!
The software states on their website that it only works with Windows Vista, but apparently they have not updated their website since Windows 7 was released. It works just fine with Windows 7, but I could not get it to work correctly with Windows XP. It installed just fine, but it would not show any output while scanning (in XP).
